Best Campgrounds near Comer, GA

The Comer, Georgia area encompasses several state parks and recreational areas offering a range of camping experiences. Watson Mill Bridge State Park Campground, located just outside Comer, provides tent, RV, and cabin accommodations with electric hookups and water access. Other nearby options include Victoria Bryant State Park Campground in Royston and Tugaloo State Park Campground on Lake Hartwell. Most established campgrounds in the region feature amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and access to restrooms, while some also offer boat launches and swimming areas. The proximity to lakes and rivers makes this region particularly appealing for water-based recreation.

Camping season varies by location, with some parks like Watson Mill Bridge operating from March through November, while others such as Victoria Bryant and Tugaloo remain open year-round. Many campgrounds require reservations, especially during summer months and weekends when waterfront sites fill quickly. The area experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters, making spring and fall ideal for camping. Road access is generally good throughout the region, with most campgrounds accessible via paved roads. Cell service can be spotty in some areas, particularly in more remote sections of the parks. "What a great park! Situated at the far north end of Lake Lanier, this Georgia state park is awesome! One of the best things about it for RV/trailer camping is the huge distance between camp sites," noted one visitor about a nearby state park.

Lakefront camping represents a significant draw for the region, with several campgrounds offering direct water access. Tugaloo State Park on Lake Hartwell receives consistently positive reviews for its waterfront sites and recreational opportunities. A camper described it as "paradise" and noted it's "off the beaten path" with "spacious and comfortable" campsites. Many campgrounds in the area feature shaded sites, which provide welcome relief during Georgia's hot summer months. Wildlife viewing opportunities are abundant, with deer commonly spotted at campgrounds like River Forks Park. The region's proximity to small towns like Royston and Lavonia means campers can easily access supplies if needed, while still enjoying a sense of seclusion in natural surroundings.

    Springfield - Hartwell Lake

    Gorgeous view

    I believe every site is lake front. The view of the lake is amazing and perfect. Some sites have little beaches for access to the water. Others have rocks if you want to make your way down those. Mine had rocks covered with wire thats been cut or broken so wasn’t taking my chances there. This place is huge! There is no sewer at sites but water and electric up to 50amp

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Great weekend

    Nice bath and shower facilities. Water pressure is low. There are two dump stations and dumpsters. The campground sits above Lake Lanier. Finding sites are a little confusing.

    Thousand Trails Carolina Landing

    Small Sites but Beautiful Campground

    Very tight between rigs if you’re in a 30’+ rig. Water pressure and hookups have worked great. Beautiful area. There was trash in our fire ring and the picnic table at our site should probably be put out of its misery. Perfect Starlink connection from our spot and pretty likely to get it pretty well from others.

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Great Trailer Camping

    What a great park! Situated at the far north end of Lake Lanier, this Georgia state park is awesome! One of the best things about it for RV/trailer camping is the huge distance between camp sites! Had a spot about 35yds from the shore next to a wooded area. Super clean everywhere around the park. There is a beach and equestrian center, boating, fishing and a bunch of trails for hiking both dirt and paved. About an hour from where I live and I’ll be back!

    Lake Hartwell State Park Campground

    Quick Weekend getaway

    Nice state park. If you are into water sports (kayaking, Paddle boarding, boating or fishing) this is a perfect park. No sewer hookups but each loop has a dump station. We stayed at site 42 lake view and level with a little incline to pad. Best sites 38, 39, 41 and 5. These are right on water with level pads and access to your play toys that you can pull up to the coast. Rangers are very friendly and are okay but clean. Will make this a future revisit park.

    Calhoun Falls State Park Campground

    Great sites with lake views

    This is a SC State Park located in Calhoun Falls, SC. A fishing campground - the vast majority of campers had boats. Sites are great / not on top of each other. Quiet. SC needs to up the maintenance on the park. Playground equipment and trails need immediate work. Bathhouses need upgrading.

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Really nice

    Nice huge state park with a lake and activities. There are two separate campground loops. We stayed in loop one, site #22. There are premium lake side sites, but we stayed in a normal site for $38/night, plus the $5 GA state parks entry fee, so $43 for a night- much too expensive but we needed to be near Atlanta for an early morning oil change the next day. Sites are nice and large, flat (we didn’t even need to get out our levels). They are arranged in a way that you don’t feel close to your neighbor. Free hot showers, firewood for $5/bundle, soda machines, dump station (sites have power and water). We stayed in early November and there were other campers here, but still plenty of availability. The campground was nice and quiet.
