Best Campgrounds in Georgia

4,707 Reviews

Georgia's state parks system offers diverse camping options across several regions, from the mountainous north to the coastal plains. Cloudland Canyon State Park, Red Top Mountain, and Vogel State Park provide developed campgrounds with cabin accommodations, tent sites, and RV hookups. Many Georgia campgrounds accommodate both tent and RV camping with electric, water, and sewer connections. State park campgrounds typically include amenities such as showers, toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, while several parks also offer cabin rentals and yurts for those seeking more comfort.

Many Georgia campgrounds remain open year-round, though summer brings higher temperatures and humidity, particularly in southern regions. Reservations are strongly recommended during peak seasons, especially for waterfront sites and holiday weekends. Most state parks require advance bookings through the Georgia State Parks reservation system, with sites typically available up to 13 months in advance. Some parks maintain first-come, first-served sites, but these fill quickly during popular seasons. According to one visitor, "Lawrence Shoals Campground is one of the nicest, cleanest, and well-cared-for parks. Most state parks could take a lesson from the operators of these parks."

Water access represents a significant draw for many Georgia campers, with lakefront sites at Skidaway Island State Park, Lake Lanier, and other reservoir campgrounds consistently receiving high ratings. Several campgrounds offer boat ramps, fishing opportunities, and swimming areas alongside camping facilities. Mountain campgrounds in north Georgia provide access to hiking trails, waterfalls, and scenic views, particularly in the Chattahoochee National Forest region. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, campers appreciate the peaceful settings and natural surroundings at many Georgia campgrounds. One camper noted that Trackrock Campground offers "beautifully well-maintained, clean grounds with a beautiful lake and stables, plenty of room, yet campsites are tucked away to also give you a private feel." Wildlife viewing opportunities vary by region, with coastal areas offering bird watching while mountain campgrounds may provide opportunities to spot deer and smaller mammals.

    R. Shaefer Heard Campground

    Nice COE Campground

    This is a typical park where not all sites are created equal. Some are paved, some are gravel. Some have 50 amp, some are 30-amp. Some are perfectly level and some have really steep grades. Some sites are pull-thru, some are back-in. Some are really long, some are much shorter. The roads in the campground are paved, free of potholes, and fairly easily navigable for big-rigs. All sites are pet-friendly and have water and electric. There are no sewer sites. Campsites 1-27 and 85-106 have 50-amp electric while the others are 30-amp. Some sites (40, 47, 50, 52, 65, 80, 84, 87, 89, 101) are “double-unit” (or buddy) sites which is reflective in the $60/night price. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the campground in each loop but there are only two shower houses in the entire campground. Sites 1-16 are perfectly level as are a few others. Reservations can be made online and the website has pictures and descriptions as well as length of site. The campground is very dark at night with the only lights being at the bathrooms. We love dark campgrounds where the moon and stars are bright. Unfortunately, numerous campers left their lights all night which we find really annoying.  Our Verizon phone was very spotty and not reliable.  We were able to use our portable Dish satellite to get television.  There is a dump station located conveniently on your way out which is quite busy on Sundays at check out.

    Cotton Hill

    Great campground, excellent senior price

    It’s not often that I award a campground five stars, but this one is well deserving of those stars. We loved everything about this campground and were content to hang out at our site and hike the park, never wanting to leave. The campsites are well spaced so you don’t feel like you are right on top of your neighbors. We stayed in one of the full hook-up, 50-amp sites. The best thing is the price– only $28/night and just $14 for those holding a senior Interagency Park Pass which is great for a full hook-up site. Roads are easy enough to navigate by any size RV. All sites have a fire, picnic table, small wooden table and a lantern hook. Some sites are sloped and you might scrape the back of your RV. Small laundry which had one wash machine and one dryer. The restroom was clean and showers were free. The campground is not really close to anything- about 30-minutes from the town of Eufaula. About 5-10 minutes away is the Fort Gaines where there are a couple of restaurants, gas station, and small market. We were happy to just hang out at our campsites and enjoy the view. There is a small hiking trail that was a nice walk.

    Talking Rock Motorcoach Resort

    Definitely 5 Stars!

    Really nice newer RV park located in the mountains. They originally were a motorhome only resort, but since opened it up to towable units (still no tents). Many sites have great mountain views and the website has pictures of each site so you can decide what you want and how much you want to pay. They accept Passport America and give a 50% discount for up to a two-week stay which is why we stayed for two weeks. That discount made it a great place for a full hook-up RV resort with nice amenities. We loved the campground and the owners are super nice and helpful. Upon check-in, you get a nice welcome packet full of information about the local area and a loaf of homemade sourdough bread (which was delicious!!!!). Sites are basically a double site so where you park your camper and patio are both paved. They have “Solo” type firepits so you can move them wherever you want and not destroy the grass or pavement. Our site had two comfortable patio chairs and a picnic table.  Everything is paved so no dusty roads or dirty sites.  They allow you to wash your RV and car which was a big plus for us since they both needed it. The utilities worked well. There is a really nice swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables. The clubhouse is large and a great gathering place that offers free Nespresso coffee, snacks, and information. There are a couple of hiking trails on the property and they offer guided walks with staff. The nearby town of Talking Rock is really cute with restaurants, a brewery, shops, and a general store that sells a variety of items including firewood and pantry staples. We would definitely stay here again.

    Hamburg State Park Campground

    Quiet, cozy, and beautiful!!

    We absolutely loved our time at Hamburg State Park. We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to pull the camper and are so glad we did. Site 21 was right next to the fishing pier and had beautiful views of the water and sunsets. We were right across from the playground which was a hit with our 6&3 year old! The bathroom/bath house was a little bit aways but we used the camper so not an issue for us, but might do it for others. Everything was clean, everyone was quiet and it was not overly crowded. We had a very enjoyable experience here!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any free or low-cost camping sites in Georgia?

Georgia offers several free and low-cost camping options for budget-conscious campers. Raven Cliff Falls stands out as a gorgeous free campground with established sites, water access, and bathroom facilities. The area is divided into a camp side and trail side but becomes very busy on weekends, so weekday visits are recommended. Ocmulgee WMA Primitive Camping provides free primitive camping opportunities for those seeking a more rustic experience. For affordable options with more amenities, Georgia's many Corps of Engineers campgrounds typically charge modest fees compared to private campgrounds while still offering beautiful lakeside settings and basic facilities.

What amenities should I expect at Georgia state park campgrounds?

Georgia state park campgrounds typically offer well-maintained facilities including clean restrooms with hot showers, drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Most have a mix of tent and RV sites with electrical hookups. Don Carter State Park Campground exemplifies the spacious design of many Georgia state parks, with generous distance between campsites and clean facilities throughout. Georgia Veterans State Park Campground showcases the diversity of options available with multiple camping loops, lake access, and proximity to resort amenities. Many parks feature dump stations, laundry facilities, camp stores, boat ramps, swimming areas, and extensive trail systems. Most Georgia state parks require reservations, which can be made online or by phone.

What are the best campgrounds in Georgia for first-time visitors?

For first-time visitors to Georgia, Stone Mountain Park Campground offers an ideal introduction with its world-renowned attractions including fireworks, laser shows, and beautiful natural areas. It's a perfect balance of developed amenities and outdoor experiences.

What's the best time of year for tent camping in Georgia?

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are ideal for tent camping in Georgia, offering mild temperatures and lower humidity. Fort Mountain State Park Campground is particularly appealing during summer months, as its elevation provides cooler temperatures than surrounding areas, with private wooded campsites that make Georgia's summer heat more tolerable. Black Rock Mountain State Park Campground in the north Georgia mountains also offers relief from summer heat due to its higher elevation. Winter camping (November-February) can be enjoyable in southern Georgia with fewer crowds, but northern regions may experience freezing temperatures, requiring proper cold-weather gear.
