Best Glamping near Forsyth, GA

My girlfriend and I stayed in a yurt here for our first anniversary. We absolutely loved it. Not only was it our first time at High Falls, it was our first time in a yurt. We basically had a little yard to ourselves where we grilled dinner and set up cornhole and ladder ball and just had fun. We also did a Twilight canoe tour which was gorgeous.

This was a cool place to stop and visit for a little while. The campground was fantastic with yurts and rv sites. They have two campgrounds. Lots of sites were drive through too which help tremendously. The hiking was great too.

Easy to get into with any type of camper or tent. There are multiple bath houses, playground for the kids and all the amenities for the lake. There is hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, kayaks rentals and the trails are well marked and easy. You can also rent yurts and other stuff to camp in.

We stayed in the River Camping Area - Loop D. The campground felt secluded and the sites were spacious. We enjoyed hiking Falls Trail with our two dogs and checking out some of the nearby cities - Jackson & Forsyth.

A few things to note: the internet is VERY spotty and the sites are not level. The entrance is very dark at night and the road is narrow and windy, so try to arrive before dark if you can.

High Falls State Park is named for the cascade waterfall that flows from the lake in the park. It is a pretty good waterfall, on the Towaliga River. There is a campground with over 200 sites, with water & electric, 30/50 amp, Some are pull-thru, and a pioneer camping spot. There are also 6 lakeside yurts, with a small deck & picnic table. There is a small store and a dump station. You can rent kayaks, canoes and paddle-boards. There us also a small playground and a mini golf. The park also has swimming pool. Fishing is supposed to be big here, but I didn’t fish. Boat ramps are available.

You can hike along the edge of the waterfall, and there were people sunning and playing in the pools below the falls.

Went to High Falls State Park in January. site number 27. We stayed 8 nights There are two campgrounds- lakeside and River camping area. Lakeside is by High falls Lake and is closest to the falls. River camping is across the street we stayed in River camping area. Nice sites but open to neighbors. Sites included table, fire ring, lantern hook. Some sites are 30 amp some 50 amp and had some pull through sites. After the weekend we were one of only a few in the campground in January. Weather may change this time of year we had a lot of rain one day and freezing temperatures overnight but mostly it was good camping weather. Camp hosts were awesome!!! This park is not far off i-75. Dollar general was a few miles other than that not much around. Very easy hiking trail to waterfalls and several trails along Towaliga River, ruins of an old Mill. There is no swimming in falls or river. Afterr rain falls were flowing very fast. This park also has a swimming pool, mini golf, yurts, boat rentals all were closed in January. Bathhouses were well maintained and had laundry facilities. Phone and TV reception we're good at this park. 8 days was too much here I would recommend 4 to 5 days or as a stopover point but would definitely return here.

Another Winner from Georgia.... Great camping and pretty easy to get in and out of you have a medium to large rig.... A little harder if you have 38ft or larger but Overall one to visit...

This campground reopened in October 2018 as a Georgia State Park operated by High Falls State Park. The state has upgraded some of the sites. You can find them on the parks website as Dames Ferry State Park. It is on Lake Juliette and has a 25 hp limit on boat motors. Site specific reservations. No cabins or cottages.

We escaped Hurricane Irma last year in florida. We went to Georgia and stayed in HFSP. We had a wonderful time! There were so many lush trees, and wonderful people. Our site was perfect! There were 9 of us and two rv’s. Campground host was awesome, and stopped by several times. They knew we were trying to outrun the hurricane. We just made plans to come back this June.....for lots of fun!

This is a great state park located in Flovilla, Georgia. If about 10 miles off I-75.

We arrived after dark so the main entrance was hard to see. We had to make a u-turn however getting to the sight was clear once in the gate.

The campsite host was very friendly and helps us park the camper. There are no street light in the campsite loops. Which is good to see stars but tricky to park. We had a couple 1000 Lumen flood lights that really helped.

The bathrooms were clean and warm. They were not new, but clean.

The park was on a lake and had plenty for area to walk and ride bikes. We didn’t have chance to fish but it looked promising.

Hard Labor Creek State Park is one of the Georgia State Park system's best kept secrets! Located just minutes away from Rutledge, GA, HLC seems like a whole world away! Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, HLC is still convenient to Rutledge and Madison, in case you forgot to pack something.

HLC features hiking trails, mini golf, newly "renovated" campsites that include two BRAND new bathhouses (comfort stations). The comfort stations have restrooms/showers, as well as two family restroom/shower facilities. The comfort stations also feature vending machines (drinks) and a laundry facility!

Kayak rentals, a beach/swimming area and numerous special programs are available!

Cell phone service is very spotty in the park but that is alright with us, camping is about getting AWAY and enjoying the outdoors, not staring at your electronic devices!

If golf is your thing, HLC has a beautiful 18-hole golf course!

We reserved a spot yet you pick it when you get there. Georgia is changing that where you can book site specific. We drove through the loops & picked Site #81. It was big, private, on the end with water, electric & cable. There is spring water people come there & collect drinking water. I loved this campground when we were there it was so quiet maybe 2 other campers in the entire loop. We were there in mid June. We had so many lightening bugs after sunset it was amazing. 

We kayaked the lake you can fish on the lake too. We were the only ones out there, how relaxing!

High Falls state park is up the road we drove to it & walked around, checked out the camping. I like Indian springs state park better. The pool at High Springs was a zoo, tons of kids & loud. If you're younger with Kids High Springs might be better for you. We hiked along the river to the real falls it was beautiful. We picked up peaches and boiled peanuts near High Falls state park in the Dollar General parking lot. they were the best. 

We took a back road coming back from Ingles grocery store & came up on the Dauset trail visitor center it was amazing. There were lots of rescued animals there. Bear, mountain lion, beaver, Bison, Deer, Owls, Eagle, Hawks & more. Beautiful gardens & trails. 

We went to the Jarrell Plantation that was really cool. 

There is a old grave yard in the park that has so many headstones with just a first name or initials. Some families and doctors and others , dating back to 1830

Very nice park! Lots to do within walking distance. Short trails to view the Falls and lots of history in the area. Pool was not open during our visit. Nice shower houses and felt very safe with locking gate entrance with code.

This park is very nice. Lots of hills, which were not used to. Our site was close to a really clean bathhouse. Our site was a pull thru, which is always nice! Site had really nice space. We did lose power for 15 hours and water for a few hours one night. Then two days later, we lost power again for three hours. Not ideal when it’s pushing 95°. We can now say we’ve boondocked. The big falls trail was closed for renovation so we couldn’t walk out on it. We were able to see it from another trail.

2nd trip to High Falls on river side. This side is accessed via gate code 24/7. 

Site 5 is one of the 1st few on the left as you enter the camping area. So you do get a fair amount of traffic, but it's not bothersome and we enjoy people watching.  The bath house is across the street and up a hill so keep that in mind if you have some mobility issues, though it's not a crazy bad hill. 

The site has a good distance between the camper and it's "passenger" side so it's like not having a neighbor on that side. The river isn't visible from the site, but it's a couple hundred feet through the woods via a path.  Entire site was very level and didn't take much to level the trailer. Very well shaded.

Cell phone internet is slim if at all even on Verizon. T-Mobile had trouble getting texts from this area.

Campground is well kept.  They were beginning to assemble new playground equipment back in April of '22.

Dollar General is right outside the gate.

State park offers boat, kayak, and paddle board rentals at the lake side.

Note about the lake side sites: They are all at right angle drives with a small drainage ditch flanking the driveway. Plus are short sites.  I would imagine it would be very tough to get my short 22' trailer in there. We drover over and I was glad we didn't stay on that side.

We found this campground on the road from MN to FL and overall enjoyed the one night.  We bought wood at a small local store on the road going into site as they were closed by the time we rolled in.  there's a gate code they called us with and that was easy - we camped on the river side and did not explore the other side.  Our site was along the river on the map, but in reality you don't really see the river much due to vegetation.  There was a lot of poison ivy along the edges of our site too.  We have a 21' camper van so it was plenty big for us and easy to get into.  The bathrooms were about a 5-6 minute walk up a slight hill, past a playground being put together.  The shower was nice, although there was only 1 in working order when we were there.  We did not explore very much except to drive to the falls on our way out the next morning - we were putting a lot of miles on each day, and I think this would be a great place to try again.  We did not have phone/internet service (Verizon), which was ok for one night.

High Falls is a great campground. They have 2 sections. One by water is where we were. Nice pull thru site with shade. We were site 82, and has gravel. We rode our bikes to the other side, to see the falls. Very beautiful. Serene listening to it. Restrooms clean and park well maintained. B

The entrance to the campground is a little odd and narrow. I have a 25 ft RV and I'm not sure how longer RVs are able to navigate getting into the campground. I stayed here for one night in early April at River Camping Area site# 48. We got here late at night so we didn't have time to explore the campground much since it was raining hard the next day. Some of the sites around me had standing water because of the hard rain. We took a short walk before it started raining and the campground seemed pleasant overall.

We stayed at High Falls and absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. The bathhouses and laundry is easily accessible. Hot showers. A nice sensory playground right across from site 24 and next to the bathhouse. Awesome trails, and beautiful scenery. Quiet. Will definitely go back.

Good bathrooms , wonderful staff, kids enjoyed the playground. Site 56 is extremely tilted and very hard to level out. Also 57 and up is a lot of the same but I believe ours is the worst

The park is gorgeous and well maintained. It’s a little tight in a place or two but we’re pulling a 40’ fifth wheel and had no problems. We stayed in spot 71 which was a pull through with large lot that was really nice. Fire pit, picnic table and grill as well. I’m uploading a set of maps. You definitely need them as the sites are marked nicely but the areas are not and it’s very confusing. Also if you use maps on a device make sure you add campground because there are a few other places you don’t want to go pulling a rig since the campground is in a state park. Great for hiking, biking, fishing etc. Plain on zero internet or cell coverage. I’m all about the camping adventure but I like to be able to contact the kids if needed. Overall great place.

We just stopped in for a quick one night visit on our travel north. Check in was quick and easy. Sites are not large but adequate, cute playground and a double dump station available. There is very little cell phone service- AT&T has none.

We really enjoyed staying at High Falls. Most of the RV sites were spaced well apart and the amenities were clean.

This campground is great if you have kids. The playground is centrally located. Trails are easy to get to and the falls are a nice sight.

We had a great stay, though crowded and entering the water was prohibited due to leaches.

Nice family friendly campground, most roads are paved, bikes ok, smaller sites without many trees/privacy between sites - good for multi-site group's who want to camp together, fire pit, restrooms, nice easy hike along falls, do not swim in falls - dangerous

Been tent camping here for years, this is the first time with our pop up. It was pretty warm this weekend, but had a great time.
