  Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

  Beautiful campground with a couple of issues

  Recently stayed a couple of nights and was mostly impressed with the state park. I’m a tent camper but if I had an RV or trailer, I would definitely have trouble getting into my site (78). Many of the other sites I saw would have similar problems for trailer campers, as well. The park is in close proximity to I-75, so I could hear the distant sound of big rigs and the occasional police sirens. There is also railroad tracks somewhere that are close enough to hear train whistles in the wee hours of the morning. But the scenery of Lake Alatoona was beautiful and the staff I dealt with were all friendly and helpful. The bathroom facilities I used were very clean.

  Fall trip

  Outstanding park! Camp sites are spaced decently apart and well kept. Restrooms / showers are very clean. Welcome center has plenty of backpacking supplies as well.

  Don Carter State Park Campground

  Only a few campsites near the water

  Site 7 is separate from the others and has the whole point except there is a trail behind the site. No easy, sandy water access unless you go to the nice beach they have.

  Mckinney Campground

  Quiet, scenic, serene

  We stayed at site 125 with a full view of the lake. We could watch the sunset & the sunrise each day and it was incredible. There is plenty of tree cover & wilderness surrounding you. Bath houses were decent (albeit a little outdated). Our spot had a pretty bad ant infestation & they ended up getting into our trailer, which I had to scour with spray, etc. But what can you do? Just bring some supplies in case. What we really liked about this campground is how natural the surroundings are. You're really immersed in the wooded area with a view of the beautiful lake & the sounds of birdsong, etc. Good campground for bikes as things are spread out (swimming beach, bathhouses). We would certainly come back!

  Kennedy Creek Resort and Campground

  Best kept Georgia mountains secret

  We found Kennedy Creek in September 2023 and have been back five times since then. The setting is absolutely beautiful with direct views of the mountains and sprawling grounds where the resort sits.

  They offer everything from tent or RV camping and yurts, to beautiful cabins. We’ve tent camped once and brought our RV five times. If you’re camping, expect spacious campsites with amazing views. You won’t feel crowded in this place. If RVing, you can opt for a site with 30 amp electrical hookup and water (3 of these at present on a first come first basis and usually available). They do have showers so we didn’t come close to filling our gray/black tanks on our recent 5 day stay. What I like as an RVer is the open space and views. You won’t feel like you’re in a crowded RV park that’s for sure.

  Their onsite tavern and restaurant is a great gathering place and is usually opened starting with Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast. The menu is top notch with special dishes that change regularly. John is the chef and he puts out some of the best food you’ll find in these beautiful mountains!

  The resort also has a 2000’ x 60’ grass runway (GA87) which is absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion this should be a bucket list destination for all pilots that can manage to get in to 2000’ fields. The owner has a beautiful Just Superstol XL bush plane and a Highlander, and he can usually be found flying most Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings. You might even get invited to go flying :-)

  The staff is super friendly and will take great care of you during your stay. It won’t take long for you to realize that they absolutely care about you and your experience. They’ll go out of their way to make sure you enjoy their little slice of paradise.

  This probably sounds like a paid advertisement but I’m just a happy camper that hopes this place experiences the success it deserves. I’ve been to Ellijay, Helen, Blairsville, Dahlonega, and a lot of other well known mountain spots, and this place is my favorite by far.

  Amazing campground in the GA mountains

  Beautiful campground with a small lake and wooded sites. A little hilly but that provides some space between sites. Campground staff were very nice and facilities were clean and in good repair. Dog friendly with trails on site, as well as stables adjoining.

  I didn’t get the chance to have an experience because they would not even rent to me because I have mixed breed rescue dogs.

  Kennedy Creek Resort and Campground

  Hair on linens, heater not working; no reasonable remedy

  I booked a yurt for my husband while I was hiking the AT. The manager was very polite until I complained later. When my husband arrived, he could not locate the yurt, because the name had been changed, and I was not told. The bed was made up with (animal) haired imbedded into the comforter and hair on the linens, which the manager was witness to and changed himself. The heater did not work. My intention was for my husband to enjoy the resort and its amenities, but he wouldn't go to the tavern after tge other experiences. Per our conversation, the manager agreed to a monetary refund that we never saw. After a month, I left a message asking for a call and I received a text saying that he would give us a $35 gift card to the tavern (which we can never use). I asked for a phone call and was told that he didn't have to call me, because this was his final offer.

  Great, Small, Quiet Campground

  There are about 20 slots. The spaces are well-spaced and feel secluded despite mostly open air. A quick drive to the falls or the lodge for dining with a view.

  Perfect campground tucked in the mountains

  Good sized campground tucked into the mountains. I brought my dog with me and had a great time. There is a lake that you can fish in, stables to ride horses, and hiking trails on the campground. We heard some people on dirt bikes on the trails too.

  This is a very well maintained and popular campground on Lanier. I’ve come here since I was a kid. Tent sites are down some stairs, keep that in mind.

  Clark Creek South Campground

  Quiet spacious lots

  Being our first stop ever we were happy to have the friendly helpful staff. The lots are spaced out a bit so even if you have to unload dogs or children, you won’t be on top of the next slot. Large bathroom/showers though they are not exactly constant. At night you can hear the lake while watching the deer

  Vogel State Park

  Simply beautiful!

  Vogel State Park was beautiful! Even before all the leaves came out from the trees. The kids had loads of fun playing by the little rivers. Several hikes/trails ranging in difficulty to choose from. There is construction for the new visitor center so parking is limited. Overall, the campground is very well maintained and looks newly refurbished. Roads are smooth but narrow in some places. Definitely worth the drive!

  Unicoi State Park & Lodge

  $75 A NIGHT FOR A CAMPSITE EVEN WITH NO FULL HOOKUP?

  I tried to make a camping reservation at Unicoi, but not paying$75 a night for campsite. This place has gone downhill since the private company took it over! The last time we were there, it was run down and not kept up. Don't bother!

  John's Mountain

  Great in the fall

  The last time I camped at Pocket Rec Area was a few years ago.  Since then, they've added picnic tables, metal fire rings with grill grates, and lantern poles at the campsites, as well as bear-proof trash bins and water spigots scattered throughout the campground.  There's a centrally-located bathroom, no showers.  The driveways are asphalt now, used to just be dirt.  A ranger came by and told us they plan to add electric hookups in 2025.  In 2024, reservations will be made online through Recreation.gov, but the ranger told us they would still allow same-day reservations.

  We stayed for two nights in October and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves.  There were only a few other campers, none near us.  With ATB senior pass, we paid $7.50/night.

  All the sites are heavily wooded and most have trees or large rocks very close on both sides of the driveway.  The driveways are not straight, so you have to jog to one side halfway through backing in.  It's tricky to make that slight turn while avoiding the trees and rocks.  We weren't able to extend our awning all the way because of the trees.  If you have slides, you may not be able to put them out.

  There is an easy trail inside the campground and several more not far from the entrance.

  Jackrabbit Mountain

  Jackrabbit

  A great campground which seems to get more popular with each passing year. Three loops, loops A and B are best for families with children and older campers, loop C has a few sites with steps and tripping roots.

  The lake is beautiful and the water surprisingly warm, even in late spring - early summer. There's good mountain biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, kayak, and SUP to pass your time, or simply relax in a hammock in the shade. 

  Facilities are adequate and cleaned daily, dump station on site.

  Hearthstone Cabins and Camping

  We’ll never go back

  It was very difficult from the beginning to even reserve a campsite; we left numerous messages and finally got a response from the owner. We asked to reserve a particular campsite that said it would hold 3 to 4 tents and two cars; we had three couples staying there. The pictures of the site on the website made the actual site look much bigger with a very long driveway. Nowhere on the site did it say it was a three night minimum since we were going during Oktoberfest. We ended up paying for a third night just to be able to reserve the place for two nights. The campsite was very pricey at$100 a night with no water, no picnic table or tent pole, nor a bear proof container. There was a small fire pit but no grate to cook on. When we got to the campsite, it took the owner quite a while to take us around to show us where the site was(nothing is marked so you have to take the owner in your car to find your site). She was not overly friendly. The site we had reserved would never fit our tents since they weren’t tiny little one-man tents. She said that she would give us the larger campsite which was right next to it for a$10 a night upgrade since the family had canceled at the last minute. I reminded her that we had already paid an extra hundred dollars just to stay for two nights but she still charged my card the$30 upgrade fee. Our three tents barely fit on the campsite and we had to park one of our cars in a different location since it wouldn’t even fit on the campsite area. There was a pond down the road; it was a very scary looking thing that I would never ever let my children or myself play in, there were out houses that were relatively clean, but the shower house was something I also would never ever want to step foot in. We are seasoned campers and don’t expect luxury but this campground was too expensive for what was actually there. Overall, we felt that the website for the camping area did not truly represent what was available at the campsite.

  #1 in GA

  Absolutely a perfect campground, in a mature forest, with a lake, streams, hiking trails. Campground looks completely new with gravel pads, FHU, and working WiFi. $44 a night, seems very reasonable for being so immaculate. Site 32 seemed to be a top site, private, nearest to the hiking trail.

  Raven Cliff Falls

  Beautiful and peaceful

  There were 2 open campsites right off the trail at the beginning near the creek (Fall break, end of September)! Of course, as you hike further in, availability is more likely, however, keep in mind you have to carry your gear from the parking lot to your campsite. The hike itself was beautiful. I received mild complaints from my kids, but they made the approximate 2.5mi hike each way! I would personally hike to the halfway point to the small waterfall just over a mile in, relax, then turn back, as it was more beautiful than the top waterfall at the end of the trail.

  Jackrabbit Mountain

  Lake access from some sites

  Jack Rabbit is a popular spot, generally full on summer weekends, we often see other people we know from home (Asheville). The lake itself can get busy with large and small boats, so you have to be careful if crossing in a canoe. Loop A is more open with a gradual slope, good for kids to bike the loop, campsites 5/6 and 24/26 have beach access to the lake. Loop B is more wooded, my favorite of the three. It’s more on a hill, so biking for the kids is more challenging. We recently stayed in 79, which had a good view and was close to the bathhouse, but no beach access. For that you want 64, 66, 68 or 72. Many of these sites have stairs from car to tent pad. Loop C is up higher so actual lake access is difficult, but it’s quieter and has beautiful views. There’s a nearby (paid) day area with a beach, and good hiking/biking trails within walking distance from campsites.
