    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.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Has it all

    RV/tent camping and cabin rentals. Campsites had wifi and pretty good tv signal. There's also a lodge/hotel on site with a restaurant, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley below. Camping sites are spaced well apart with electric, water and fire rings. The campgrounds also feature a bathhouse and laundry.

    Begin your Appalachian Trail journey here with 604 steps to the top of a beautiful waterfall.

    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.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    Beautiful State Park with roomy shaded sites, many of which are creekside. A large lake for fishing and swimming is at the front of the park and it offers canoe and paddle boat rentals. Lots to do on-site such as walking trails, hiking and fishing, playgrounds and a Conservation Corps museum. Trahlyta Falls is an easy walking path, and the park also offers nice cabin rentals. There are no sewer hook-up, but it does have an easy access dump station.

    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!

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful hiking, large campsites

    We enjoyed a challenging 11-mile hike up and over 3 mountains from trail heads inside the park. There are shorter hikes that start here as well. My 9-year old loved exploring the mushrooms and nature growing in the very wooded campsites. The campsites are large with driveways, 1-2 tent pads, picnic table, fire ring and lantern poles at each site. The campground was very busy and you could see your neighbors around you. But this also means there are more conveniences like running water and hot showers. The campground also has a mini-gold course, lake and gift shop. There were lots of kids riding bikes and dogs are allowed, so while this so not a serene site, it's definitely great for families and groups that want to hang out!

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Great Motorcycle Only campground

    Two Wheels of Suchess campground is one of the best motorcycle campgrounds I've stayed at. Open tent areas, trees for hammock camping, cabins and a bunk house are also available. Meals are available Friday night through Sunday morning, as well as breakfast on Monday morning. Fire wood and ice available 24 hours. The paved parking lot in front of the main lodge is for motorcycles only, however there is a gravel parking lot for 4 wheel vehicles. The campground and cabin areas are accessable via a bridge that is purposely not wide enough for a car to cross, but Motorcycles an trikes can. The facilities are kept in top-notch shape. Showers were spotless the 4 days I spent there. Lots of awesome roads in the area available to ride. Inside the lodge is the restaurant and an area to lounge with a fire place, big screen TV, couch, recliners and hundreds of motorcycle magazines to read. A stream runs through part of the tent camping area and next to the parking lot by the lodge.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Perfect for Families & Groups

    While it’s often a bit of a shock to come to such a developed and highly manicured campground after having spent some time in the woods without all the amenities, it sure was nice to get a hot shower in a heated bathroom! Vogel State Park was perfectly situated along Hwy 19 in the north Georgia mountains for an easy spot for the night.

    In early March, this state park was extremely quiet, especially in the loop designed specifically for tents, vans, and small rigs like ours. Each site has been lined with fresh gravel, a firepit, picnic table, utility pole, electricity and water. A few of the sites are pull-through and some are conjoined with another site, making it a perfect place for families/groups wanting to have close-by sites. Throughout the park, there are plenty of sites for large RV’s, as well as some walk-in sites for tents.

    The bathrooms are clean, with wheelchair accessibility in one shower and toilet, but the one near our site doesn’t have a wheelchair ramp to the bathroom itself. 

    In addition to the campsites, this park offers a small lake, hiking trails, playgrounds, miniature golf, and some modern, fully-equipped cabins complete with a small deck, grill, and picnic table.  The closest town is Blairsville, GA, about a 10 mile drive with most of the basics you need.

What to do

Paddling and water activities: Don Carter State Park provides lake access for kayaking and canoeing. According to Kevan R., it's "a great place to camp with lots of hiking trails; there's even a canoe trail!" The park's location on Lake Lanier makes it ideal for water-based recreation.

What campers like

Direct lake access: Campers consistently praise sites with water views. At Don Carter State Park, one visitor noted, "We love that it's on the lake because family members have boats and its just easy to jump on at the campsite dock."

Walk-in sites for privacy: For those seeking seclusion, walk-in sites offer more privacy. At Fort Yargo State Park, Amalia K. recommends: "If you're like me and appreciate a bit of privacy when camping, the walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo are the place to go. Just a short 1-2 minutes walk from your car and bathrooms, but you feel much more secluded than the campsites in the regular campground."

Modern facilities: Clean, well-maintained bathhouses are frequently mentioned in positive reviews. A visitor to Stone Mountain noted: "We spent a weekend here in section O. It was a nice, spacious campsite with a nice picnic table and partial view of the lake even though we didn't have 'lake view' site."

What you should know

Seasonal crowd levels: Parks in the Flowery Branch area can get busy during peak times. Todd L. visited Fort Yargo during an off-peak period and shared: "When I have more time we plan to go back and take it all in. Close to the town of Winder for items you forgot. Less than a 3 mile ride."

Reservation timing: Most cabins require advance booking. Laura M. visited Fort Yargo in November and observed: "We stayed in early November and there were other campers here, but still plenty of availability. The campground was nice and quiet."

Variable site sizes: Check site specifications before booking. At Don Carter State Park, one camper noted: "Our campsite was a tad bit small for our camper, large campers like motorhomes or fifth-wheels will not fit." Some sites are better suited for specific equipment types.
