Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground permits pets at all accommodation types, including cabins, tents, RV sites, and glamping options. McIntosh Reserve Park and Sweetwater Creek State Park Campground also welcome pets, both offering picnic tables and fire rings at their campsites. Llamas on the Loose Farm provides a unique pet-friendly camping experience with sites located near fields containing farm animals, including llamas, a pot-belly pig, and goats. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies for dogs, though specific rules vary by location. Campers at Llamas on the Loose report their dogs enjoying watching the farm animals through the fence, with the pig (Wilbur) often approaching campers looking for acorns to be slipped through.
The Chattahoochee River provides excellent recreational opportunities for campers with dogs at McIntosh Reserve Park, where fishing spots are accessible directly from riverside campsites. Several hiking trails throughout the region accommodate leashed pets, including the 2-mile Eagle Loop Trail at McIntosh Reserve. When camping with pets in summer months, the splash pad at McIntosh offers relief from Georgia heat, though pets themselves are not permitted in water features. Stone Mountain Park Campground, though slightly further from Chattahoochee Hills, offers extensive pet-friendly trails and facilities. Wildlife encounters are possible in all camping areas, so keeping dogs leashed protects both wildlife and pets. The best sites at McIntosh Reserve for camping with dogs are along the river (sites 1-10) where the sound of small rapids provides pleasant background noise while pets rest at camp.

ScoutStaff is great and his campground allows campfires. Pet friendly with two dog parks. Great pool and has cabins and yurts to reserve. Less than three miles from Callaway Gardens and FDR Park.

GuideLived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.
GuideAwesome hiking. Extremely pet friendly, lakeside campsite
GuideSeveral options available. RV hook ups, camp grounds, and yurt rentals. I did not rent a yurt but have heard good things from friends who have. Very clean camp grounds, if you don't mind a familes close by. Can set up next to the lake. Pet friendly and several children and families around. Ton of activities around stone mountain park.
GuideAwesome grounds in a family and pet friendly atmosphere. Neighbors were kind and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful time. Walking the grounds was nice and hilly. There’s also trails in between areas and around the campground. If you like the water, bring your trunks, kayaks, and poles.
TravelerNice little lake to play on and around. Very family and pet friendly. Restrooms and showers exceptionally clean. Not alot of paid spots with water electricity and first come first serve so no reservations. Plenty of dispersed throughout the area though.
TravelerRed Red Top is one of my favorite spots when I need a quick Wilderness cat away from the city. It is always well taken care of, and the sites have easy access to the lake which is nice for sunrise, sunset and relaxing in a hammock. The sites are clean and easy to find, and the campground is only accessible with an access code in the evenings.
LegendOld Hwy 41 No 3 Campground is a COE campground on Lake Allatoona, about an hour North of Atlanta. The campground is only open May till September. There are about 50 sites, most had water and 30/50 amp electricity, a few with sewer. There are some lake front sites that appear larger, and are more expensive. Basic water/electric sites are $28/night, full hook-ups are $36, Lakefront are $64/night. Fire rings, picnic tables are provided, a playground and a bathroom/shower building. There is a laundry room, Also a dump station. They only allow 2 pets per site. This is a boating/fishing campground so there is a boat ramp. It is close to I-75 and US 41, but it is in the woods, so some of the highway noise is muffled, only some! There is also an entrance station which provides some security! The gate is open from 7 AM until 10:30 PM. NO ONE gets in after hours!
ScoutNot only is it a racetrack, it's a campground! AMS offers full hookup camping all throughout the year! Just $35 per night - was an amazing deal! Plenty of room, plenty of spots. They have some events throughout the year - great entertainment! There's also a gift shop and tours are available - was a super cool experience (ask for Miss Jan)! Away and outside of the noise and traffic of Atlanta (thank goodness!). Friendly staff and clean property. Pets are also welcome! Definitely recommend!
