    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    Stunning Cabin!

    Nicest state park cabin I’ve never stayed in! The furnishings were beautiful and the screened porch was amazing. I really appreciated that the bedding and towels were plush and extremely comfortable-very unlike most state parks or other rental cabins. It was also impeccably clean, AND the bathrooms had handcrafted local soaps!

    As a side note, my husband is a wheelchair user and this was the most accessible vacation rental we’ve ever encountered (and we travel a lot). The picnic table had a seat cutout, the fire pit and grill were on a level surface, and the kitchen sink was roll under! 10/10 thank you HLC for the thoughtful attention to accessibility.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Relaxation in The Woods

    Fort Yargo is in the Winder Ga area and is close to Helen, Jefferson, Athens and Atlanta. Entering the campground is a nice paved road and leads to tent camping, cabins, yurts and RV sites.

    Very clean park and has Historical area, playground, tennis court, bike and hike trails. Not to mention beach and boating area.

    Picnics, camping, boating biking and camping or just day use areas. Pet friendly and all around great park.

    There is a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there.

    Gread for the Georgia Bulldog crowd as its less then 30 minutes!

    I recommend this park highly.

    Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

    First time visiting & it won’t be our last

    We’ve been wanting to camp here for a while, but every time we decided to go, it’s been all booked up.... that might have been our fault though, because we like to plan last min trips. 🙂 This time we actually planned it out a few weeks in advance and got a nice spot.

    I really liked the booking process, because it shows you exactly what spot is available and it even shows you a pic of the site you’ll be getting. Our site was only $35 a night + a $5 parking pass.

    The campground has a lot to offer! It has a boat access point, fishing, walking and biking trails, a small putt putt course, playground area for the kids and best of all it’s pet friendly! I can’t go without saying the employees are so friendly and helpful!

    Campsite wise, it has electric, water, cable, a huge picnic table & a grill/fire pit. The only negative was it wasn’t a full hookup. 😔Something else that I really loved was all of the huge natural rocks located all throughout the campground. Each campsite seemed to have their own collection of rocks and it really added to the experience. Another plus is that it has a dump station right at the exit, so on your way out you can take care of your last minute steps to finish up your camping experience. 😁

    If you’re in the area I would highly recommend this campground! You can’t go wrong!

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Extraordinary Attractions

    Stone Mountain hardly needs another glowing review, but it is a pleasure to stay there. First, everything is contained and available. The views of the lake, and, yes, the mountain are gorgeous. There is a nice spacious check-in store. Your trash is picked up constantly from your site. Each site has a deck, a grill with a propane tank already attached, a picnic table, and a fire pit, electric and sewer hook ups. The sites are close together, but the decks are pretty private. If you bike, hike, run or like trails, boating and fishing, all are right there. It helps to have a car/truck, as the place is pretty immense, but my neighbors had a Class C and were throughly enjoying mountain biking to everything. Another neighbor with a gorgeous Class A was driving his towed truck to a neighboring Petco. There is everything. Deer roam in the morning and at night, and if golf is your sport of choice, Stone Mountain has a highly rated public course. The staff is very friendly. I liked the purple area near the playground and pool. The sites seemed a little more private. It’s not cheap, and I don’t know what discounts might be available. But, if you’re in or around Atlanta, this is the place to go. It will NOT disappoint.

    Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

    Cabins are definitely the highlight here!

    The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. 

    They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites). 

    There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)

    We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. 

    2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Walk in tent site 44

    Nice large gravel site. Water access but no swimming allowed at campground. Parking lot is a short walk to campsite. Bathhouse is at the parking area. Picnic table and fire pit at site.

    Wooded area but not secluded, limited shade on table. Will need a canopy for daytime table use. Neighbors lights will definitely be seen.

    Nice site but probably won’t stay at this site again.

Guide to Decatur

Cabin camping near Decatur, Georgia offers convenient access to outdoor recreation while maintaining proximity to urban amenities. Located in the Piedmont region with elevations between 900-1,100 feet, the area experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters, making year-round cabin camping possible. Several parks within a 30-mile radius provide various lodging options from basic cabins to fully equipped cottages.

What to Do

Hiking trails: At Fort Yargo State Park Campground, visitors find well-maintained paths for all skill levels. "Beautiful sites that are somewhat private. Lots to do close by in the day time (biking, hiking, fishing, swimming..)" notes Jessica D. The park features multiple trail loops around a 260-acre lake.

Paddle sports: Lake activities abound at cabin locations. "My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site," reports Susan K. about her stay at Stone Mountain Park. Many cabin properties offer rentals for kayaks and paddleboards directly on-site.

Wildlife viewing: Cabin stays often include natural encounters. "While hiking we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife," shares Jennifer T. The wooded settings around many cabins create opportunities for deer sightings and birdwatching, particularly during early morning hours.

What Campers Like

Spacious sites: Indian Springs State Park Campground receives praise for its layout. "Very nice park. Very clean. Beautiful site. Large backing with plenty of room on all sides," explains Lauren W. Site spacing enhances privacy between cabins.

Clean facilities: Bathroom access remains important even when staying in cabins. "The shower house was a little dirty, so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5," mentions Tonya B. about Stone Mountain Park, indicating high expectations for facility cleanliness.

Variety of activities: The region's parks offer diverse recreation. "The campground offers everything you would ever need. There are tons of things to do from Golf, hiking, zoo, laser show, food and you can hike the mountain or take a ride to the top," writes Holly B. Most cabin locations include multiple activity options within walking distance.

What You Should Know

Reservation requirements: Cabin bookings require advance planning. "We came here on an overnight stay one time and came back because we liked it so much," shares Larry M. about Indian Springs State Park. Weekend reservations often fill months ahead, especially during summer.

Water quality varies: Some locations have mineral-rich water. "There was some sediment in the water from the spigot and it seemed to have a bit of a chlorine taste. I would suggest bring your own water or a water filter," advises Karen C.

Noise considerations: Despite natural settings, some locations experience noise. "You will hear I-75 traffic all night so keep in mind, that while it looks like country, you are not deep in nature... the drone of the highway will remind you," warns Jeff E. about his camping experience.

Tips for Camping with Families

Bathroom proximity: Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground offers family-friendly accommodations. "We grabbed site 43 because it is close to the bath house but very private," recommends George & Patty C. When booking cabins with children, check distance to restrooms.

Guided activities: Many parks offer structured programs. "The Jr ranger program still going with the help of adult campers during covid. Still so much fun and so clean and beautiful!!" reports Cheryl C. These programs provide educational entertainment for children while parents set up camp.
