Best Campgrounds near Hampton, GA

589 Reviews

The area surrounding Hampton, Georgia features several established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, primarily catering to RV travelers and tent campers. High Falls State Park Campground in nearby Jackson provides tent and RV sites with electric hookups and shower facilities, while Atlanta South RV Resort in McDonough offers cabin options alongside traditional camping. Stone Mountain Park Campground northeast of Hampton stands out with its diverse accommodation types including cabins, yurts, and both tent and RV sites.

Access to most campgrounds remains consistent year-round, with all major facilities operating in all seasons. Many sites require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holiday periods. "This campground is convenient to the interstate but is having construction. Sites are good size but not level. Not much green. Lots of gravel and limestone," noted one camper about Atlanta South RV Resort. The region experiences typical Georgia climate patterns with hot, humid summers and mild winters, making spring and fall particularly pleasant for camping. Most developed campgrounds provide water hookups and electric service, though amenities vary significantly between locations.

Campers seeking more natural settings often prefer Indian Springs State Park Campground, which receives consistently positive reviews for its natural beauty. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, camping near Atlanta Motor Speedway receives mixed feedback, with one visitor noting it's "not a REAL campground" but "a parking lot" with minimal amenities. For families, several reviewers highlight Stone Mountain Park as offering the most comprehensive facilities and recreational options. Panola Mountain State Park Campground provides a more secluded experience despite its proximity to Atlanta, with one camper describing it as "beautiful area...tough to get to." Most developed campgrounds in the region provide standard amenities like showers, toilets and picnic tables, with mixed-use campgrounds offering both overnight stays and longer-term options for travelers.

    Claystone Park Campground

    Very nice campground

    The campground is very nice. The sites are shaded and very clean. It is easily accessible and easy to get around in. The swimming beach is okay. It is a sand beach which is clean and easy to access the water, but I would not necessarily say the water is very clean. It is definitely better than many of the other lakes we have seen in Georgia, though! I would recommend staying here if you need a spot in central Georgia

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve

    Safe, Quiet, and Efficient

    I stayed almost a week in space 81. When I made my reservation, I could not get a 50A site so reserved a 30A site. I called Sweetwater Creek and with no fuss, they rearranged things so that I could have a site with 50A. Wonderful service! 

    Everything was handled via text and email messages before I arrived. Once on-site, I never saw an employee or an office. Had I needed anything, I had been instructed to call/text Jonathan. He was sure prompt in replying before I arrived so I am sure it would all have been fine had I needed him during my stay. It was kind of weird not checking in at an office but, honestly, I can't complain. The site was clean and the utilities worked. 

    Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve is definitely urban. The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the sites looked to be occupied by long-term residents but all of the units looked to be in good repair. My wife and I definitely felt safe. There are not many choices for RVs in the Atlanta metro area. When we come back to Atlanta, we will stay here again. 

    I gave this four stars instead of five because a) the pavement is so deteriorated that it is almost moon craters, and b) the"scenery" just plain sucks. But for a safe place to hook up and stay, Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve gets five stars.

    McIntosh Reserve Park

    New bathhouse with shower, water spigot

    Camping is first come first served basis, no reservations. $20 per night, parking for one vehicle included. Extra vehicles require $5 parking pass per day. They take credit card. Pull up to the booth at the entrance before 5pm or see the camp host 5-8pm. After 8pm, the park gate closes. I was given a gate code in case I needed to leave and return during the closed hours.

    The camping layout falls somewhere between dispersed camping and a traditional campground. When I checked in, I was told I could pull up to any site with a fire pit. There were picnic tables and trash cans at most sites. There are no hook ups at the sites, but there is a good amount of space on flat ground in the trees. Several cars, tents, or small campers would fit on each site. Bigger campers could opt for sites 8 or 9 which don’t have trees. I cleaned up a bit of trash around my site when I arrived. The camp host drove around selling firewood.

    Many of these reviews seem older, so I wanted to add that there is a newer block bathroom with flush toilets, electricity and a shower stall, and outdoor water spigot near the stretch of campsites marked 1-20 along the river. It was clean. Driving in, you’ll see a sign that points you to “Main Camping.” The sites stretch down a lane that follows the river to a dead end, the river and sites are on the left and there is a large grassy airfield on the right. There was no airplane traffic while I was there and no signage to stay off of it, so perhaps it is no longer in use.

    There is a boat ramp past site 20. I saw a sign at the bathhouse for paddling the river and various parks to camp along the way. There are signs for horse camping only at sites 18-20. One of the trails runs between the river bank and the campsites, with red blazes - “River Trail” - so don’t set up equipment there in case hikers or horses come through. I saw people fishing in the Chattahoochee River right off of their campsite. There is a small rapid that stretches across the river near sites 1-10, so you get that nice water flowing sound to fall asleep to!

    There are also sites in other areas of the park, if you turn left instead of following the “Main Camping” sign. I’m not sure if they are numbered, and they seem more scattered. There is another bathhouse with running water and a shower that is older next to the cabin called “Old Ranger’s Station.”

    The park has wide trails for horseback riding. I hiked the 2 mile Eagle Loop Trail and saw a mountain biker as well. I saw signs for an Orienteering Course. There is a splash pad and a new looking playground that from a glance, might be ADA accessible. There are many signs prohibiting swimming in the river due to the strong current. There is no beach and in most places, the river bank is steep. John Tanner Park has a swimming beach.

    The park map is not great and the information available online is insufficient, but I do recommend coming to explore the area and camp! I’ll be back now that I have an understanding of the layout.
