Best Campgrounds near Conyers, GA

715 Reviews

Campgrounds near Conyers, Georgia range from established state parks to RV resorts, offering multiple camping styles within a 30-mile radius. Stone Mountain Park Campground provides tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options just 20 miles northwest of Conyers, while Panola Mountain State Park Campground offers primitive tent camping with electric hookups. Other notable options include Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground with year-round availability and Atlanta Glamping for those seeking a more luxurious outdoor experience.

Most campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though amenities and accessibility can vary seasonally. "Great little place to camp. Beautiful lake. Bathrooms and showers are on site," noted one camper about Brooks Lake Campground. Riverside Estates RV Park maintains gated access with water and sewer hookups at every site, though primarily serving longer-term visitors. Several campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and holiday weekends. The Panola Mountain primitive sites involve approximately a 3/4-mile walk-in, creating a more secluded experience. Water access remains a significant feature at several locations, with Stone Mountain and Brooks Lake offering lakeside camping.

Campers consistently highlight the natural features and wildlife viewing opportunities in the area. Stone Mountain Park combines camping with extensive recreational facilities, including hiking trails, a pool, and proximity to Atlanta attractions, though visitors should budget for both campground fees and the separate $20 park entrance fee. As one visitor mentioned, "The area we were had a great view of the mountain. Even with other campers the place felt peaceful." While some sites like Panola Mountain provide a more rustic experience with limited amenities, others like Riverside Estates offer full hookups, bathhouses, and laundry facilities. Most campgrounds accommodate pets with proper restrictions, and many provide picnic tables, fire rings, and access to toilets and showers.

    Margaritaville

    Best Campground Ever

    My wife and I went here for a week back in June 2025. I’ve been to many campgrounds in my day and I can say this one by far is the best. Clean campsites, fun amenities and great golf.

    We went to a Braves game one night since it is only an hour away and made may fond memories. I have already scheduled my week to go back again in 2026!

    Shady Grove Campground

    Water Front Views

    Great state / county campground. Majority of the sites offer direct water access with many sites offering water front views and beach areas.

    Bald Ridge Creek

    First trip for the summer

    Check in staff very friendly Site 32 - Nice level site. Plenty of room for us. Back in is not straight so it takes alittle bit of maneuvering(that maybe why it was one of the last few sites available a week out). Very close to the lakeshore. Morning and afternoon shade, otherwise pretty direct sun overhead around noon.

    The restroom and shower facilities were clean. Plenty of hot water. Gave it 4 stars only because I thought the swim beach could have been more clear of stuff that washed up. Otherwise a great campground. Would definitely stay here again!

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve

    Safe, Quiet, and Efficient

    I stayed almost a week in space 81. When I made my reservation, I could not get a 50A site so reserved a 30A site. I called Sweetwater Creek and with no fuss, they rearranged things so that I could have a site with 50A. Wonderful service! 

    Everything was handled via text and email messages before I arrived. Once on-site, I never saw an employee or an office. Had I needed anything, I had been instructed to call/text Jonathan. He was sure prompt in replying before I arrived so I am sure it would all have been fine had I needed him during my stay. It was kind of weird not checking in at an office but, honestly, I can't complain. The site was clean and the utilities worked. 

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve is definitely urban. The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the sites looked to be occupied by long-term residents but all of the units looked to be in good repair. My wife and I definitely felt safe. There are not many choices for RVs in the Atlanta metro area. When we come back to Atlanta, we will stay here again. 

    I gave this four stars instead of five because a) the pavement is so deteriorated that it is almost moon craters, and b) the"scenery" just plain sucks. But for a safe place to hook up and stay, Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve gets five stars.
