Just so beautiful and awesome. Camp host was lovely and our site could not have been more perfect. Internet said it was a walk up but it was a drive up. Site 52, I’m convinced it has to be the best one there. It adjoins via a mild staircase to 53 and would be perfect for two families to have. It’s right on the water and the sunset was phenomenal. Love it a lot. Electric and water, picnic table and fire ring.

We went over the Halloween weekend. What great fun. Lots of events for families and kids. Even us retired people got into the spirit! Sites were well maintained with space between sites. Bathrooms were clean all the time. Cell service was at best 2 bars on all networks. But that’s okay. Fall colors were abundant. If you had a small boat, canoe or kayak the lake is perfect for fishing or just enjoying. The only drawback was some road noise from Fairplay road. Otherwise I can’t say enough of how much we liked this park. Site 16 October.

Badly laid out campground
Whatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine

Walk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.

Stone Mountain Park Campground
Welcome center is nice, but the roads and asphalt sites are crumbling. We had a back in site that was fairly level. No real privacy from neighboring sites.
Mary D.GuideAmicalola Falls State Park Camping
Site 18: Don’t let the “hardest site to back into” reviews scare you! There’s a trick.
We stayed at Site 18, which has a reputation for being one of the hardest sites to back into. There’s definitely a trick to it! Pull your truck forward along the site, then pull out toward the site across from you, making an S-turn. From there, line it up and back in. It's tricky, but doable!
We loved this area and packed a lot into our stay. We visited BJ’s Apple Orchard, stopped at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm (where I somehow ended up with a 150-pound pumpkin 😂), had dinner at Cascades Restaurant, and took the easy way to see the falls.
The fenced-in sites were a huge plus, especially with our pups. It gave them more room to roam. The bathrooms and showers are individual rooms, which was nice, and the welcome center is one of the nicest we’ve come across.
And then there’s THE HILL. I was born and raised in the Smokies, so I’m no stranger to mountain roads, but the incline is no joke! The reviews are absolutely not exaggerating when they say it’s steep. Come prepared!
I have T-mobile and husband has Xfinity and we both have great service. Wifi in the campground gets the job done for Netflix at night.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area, plenty to explore, dog-friendly sites, and a campground we’d visit again. 🏕️🥾

Beautiful views with lake front camping
Campsite was the perfect lake front spot for our dog’s last camping adventure with us. The resort felt super safe for 2 females traveling with their dog and all campsites and bathrooms were super clean.

Beautiful park with plenty to do....but campground had a few shortcomings.
We stayed on site #25 in early August but due to the elevation the weather was mild.
There were plenty of activities to keep us busy at the park and the staff was friendly and helpful.
One thing that surprised us and worth mentioning is that even though the park is massive, the campground appears to have been an afterthought as it, and the sites are generally very small. It would be nice to see them expand it and make the changes to increase the size of sites.
Also, as we have seen at other parks kids on e-bikes is becoming a real problem and safety concern. Young children, many not wearing helmets, continually racing around the campground with no regard for speed limits or traffic signs. It is a recipe for an injury or an unfortunate fatality.
Hopefully parks will begin addressing this issue.

What to do
Hiking trails with lake views: Fort Yargo State Park offers scenic hiking opportunities around its 260-acre lake. "Great swimming and hiking," notes Barbara C., who appreciated the park's recreational diversity. The park also features mountain biking trails for more adventurous visitors.
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.
Educational programs: Many state parks offer ranger-led activities for visitors. At Stone Mountain Park Campground, families can participate in organized events. "There's all kind of activities for the kids. They have free transportation within the park/campground area," explains Harvey B.
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.
