Located Northwest of Macon and great for camping near Atlanta, High Falls State Park is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Boat rental, ramps and fishing docks provide easy access to the park’s lake, known as one of Georgia’s top fishing spots for hybrid and white bass. Overnight visitors can choose from a spacious campground or lakeside yurts, which are like canvas and wood tents. Each yurt features a small deck, picnic table and grill outside, plus furniture, electrical outlets and a ceiling fan inside. During summer, guests may cool off in the park’s swimming pool.
Visitors can hike along the river’s edge and through hilly forest to the remains of a hydroelectric power plant foundation. In the early 1800s, this area was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls fell from prosperity in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, the park is a popular camping destination and a relaxing side trip for travelers on I-75.

To make plans to coming in is terrible. you can't get in website if you show up in person or have a some one come in that doesn't work. If you don't make it simple for to come to your camp ground. Work for your campers. I've been in 50 states and most of Canada and don't have this much trouble to come to your City and be a tourist and spend money.
While the camp hosts were very nice and the bathrooms were clean, that’s where the good ends. The sites are on top of each other in the inner loop and very much out of level. There is no place to dump trash in the campground. The only places were at the boat ramp and beach. Worst of all was the dump station was overflowing and could not be used when we were leaving.
I enjoyed my stay here during the day, but things changed after dark. There were old weedeaters scattered in the weeds, along with grills and other items that seemed to have been tossed into the woods. I initially brushed it off and didn't think much of it. I was the only one camping at this site. As night fell, I began preparing for bed, but I noticed vehicles coming and going—at least three within an hour. Around 10 PM, a few Mustangs pulled up and sat for about 45 minutes. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I decided to pack up and leave. After sharing my experience with a few friends, many of them expressed their own concerns about this location. I give it 3 stars for the beauty and peacefulness... until nightfall.
We really enjoyed staying at High Falls. Most of the RV sites were spaced well apart and the amenities were clean.
Beautiful campsite, just a few neighbors, tons of flat space and a few fire pits. There are hunters around and we heard a good deal of shots. Saw some deer on a walk. It was quite hot but surprisingly not that buggy.
I’m new to RV life but this place is very nice, clean and well manicured. And only $40 a night. That seems very reasonable to me with full hookups. I hope every place is like this, but something tells me that isn’t the case!
Wonderful campgrounds. Very clean and well kept. New clean bath facilities. Almost all sites are in the water with half shaded. Highly recommend!
My husband and I choose to stay here when in the Macon area. Stayed 3+ months in lot 57, 2 weeks in lot 45 and 1 week in lot 14. Wonderful owners that live on-site. There are several full time campers but never any riffraff. Lots of room for dog's to walk and run their humans. Propane fill station, WiFi, laundry room, shower house, bathroom's and a small playground. Easily accessible right off the highway, level sites, 30 & 50 Amp, Water & Sewer and many pull through sites. A pool would make it 5 stars for me 😀
We made this reservation many months ago and have rescheduled a few times as our plans changed. Today, we checked in and filled our propane tank. The person was training at the desk and messed up the billing. I got to site 112, which was not very level; I had to jack the front of the RV off the ground to get level. The sewer connection was uphill, so I did not dump tanks. WiFi was spotty and very slow. Cell coverage AT&T and Verizon were both poor. The site was muddy from water runoff. Convenient for overnight stay. But not a campground where I would spend multiple nights.
Camp host Bobby was pleasant and helpful, Sites were a good size and spaced well. Georgia Power has some of the nicest campgrounds and this one is a gem. Great place for boating and fishing and kiddos will love the beach, not many trails to hike and very Dog Friendly (a must for us) Bath house and latrines were absolutely stellar and very clean, laundry area as well. Spray WELL for ants as they are abundant we had no issues but our neighbors needed some assistance in mitigation. Close drive to town for additional supplies and a Publix supermarket is about 2 miles away. final words... Great place for kids and boating if you're looking for wilderness trails this is not the place.
I was debating on whether or not to leave this stellar review, knowing that once the word was out, the crowds would come. This park operated by Georgia power and light is one of the nicest cleanest and well cared for parks. I’ve been in. Most state parks could take a lesson from the operators of these parks. First off the RV sites are large and spaced out enough so that your neighbors are not in your backyard. Plenty of trees and Flora To keep the park looking natural. If you like trails, there is an abundance and some are multi use so bring your mountain bike.. They have some black diamond mountain bike trails as well for the more experienced. Some of the walking trails have signs along them for historical markers, or just descriptions of the local flora and fauna. All of the roads are paved and access for my 30 foot RV were easily negotiated., The lake is very large and welcomes boaters of any kind, including jet skis. There is a small swimming beach, of course no dogs allowed but if you walk around the edge of the lake, you can find plenty of spots to take a splash with your pup.. joe is the park host along with his wife and I’ve been there for 11 years super nice fellow very accommodating. The showers and restroom facilities are the cleanest I’ve ever experienced, hot water was abundant. The only thing that may be lacking or hooks to hang your towels.. If I could give it 10 stars, I would,
Clean bathroom, very nice employees
Great little place to camp. Beautiful lake. Bathrooms and showers are on site.
CG Manager drove through periodically and was very friendly. I met him on the trail to the falls and took the time to explain the factory that used to be there. Very interesting. Most sites are on the water. Has toilets and showers. I stayed for 3 nights and had a great time.
We loved this campground because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it was so peaceful. We stayed for a week during the kids’ spring break. Such a beautiful setting with nearly all the campsites on the water. There’s not interstates, trains, airports nearby so it’s truly a quiet getaway. There’s a new bathhouse that was nice and clean. Plenty to do with boats, kayaks, paddle boats to rent. The staff and Rangers were very accommodating and welcoming. Campsites were nicely shaded. Just so picturesque! Would love to come back!
Today was beautiful. We took the aqua cycle out. It can sit four people comfortably. Fished and walked around a little bit. Great customer service.
Very nice a bit bumpy on the drive in but no major holes. Quiet and peaceful 2 neighbors great amount of space to find a nice spot.
This place is a refuge. There are privately owned homes around but the folks keep to themselves. It's quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out. The state keeps it and the road in nice. Expect to have a drive thru at least once around 9/10. It's just a see who is in the area type thing. Very nice place
We should have known when we first arrived not to stay here. Our welcome was very brisk and unfriendly. Our site was literally right next to the freeway with terrible freeway noise and fuel smells. We asked to be moved and our new site was so narrow that the picnic tables didn’t even fit in the site and tottered on the edge of the site’s bank. They offer site garbage pick up daily, but not to monthly stays. So they drive right by your site while picking up garbage to sites right next to you! Playground is satisfactory but the dog park is muddy and rocky. When we signed in and mentioned we were excited about having a dog park the check in person said she wouldn’t take her dog to it! I highly recommend driving right on by! We use KOA’s regularly and this campground management is far below KOA standards! Beware!
Open spaces and very quiet this time of the year (January) train horn in the distance and gunshots in the distance as well from hunters here and there but all around a great spot to really enjoy.
Jake from the Dyrt here! This campground is new to the Dyrt and open for reservations through the Dyrt!
We had pull thru site with full hookups. Everything worked and site was level. We made reservations and arrived after staff was gone. There was a detailed map and directions to get to our site. Worked great as a stopover to our final destination.
The park was quiet and clean. Bathroom and bath house area kept very clean with plenty of HOT water. Site 26 is a pull through with kinda odd connection placement but we made it work.
Don’t go!!!! The person said it was a vaca must have stayed in some pretty bad campgrounds. The sites have crumbled asphalt so hard to find sold place for jacks. We pd for sewer but didn’t get it. Roads were tight with lots of trees and set up on circles. Two older gentleman on a golf cart said they just purchased it 5 days ago. Based upon prior comments and pictures I don’t believe that to be true. You come in on a frontage road with a switch back right by the turn into parking area. The left turn into the park is like a tight u-turn in which there is a huge ditch or drop off that you can’t make without the rear of the RV dropping into this ditch. The campground sits a bit below the frontage road. To compound issues not only can you not make that turn without the back of the camper in this ditch and ripping off the jacks and other components in the rear, there is a sizable crest on frontage road so while our 42’ 5th wheel was sitting on the road we were hoping nobody came flying down that hill and be not able to stop. It was suggested by a guy waiting for us on the switch back to get out of his way to back up and go up the switch back and come in from the other side. It worked but that’s dangerous and needs to be taken care of immediately. Laundry room was ok and reasonable.
Nice open camp site with plenty of spots for camping. Only a mile off the road, which is a little bumpy but manageable.
To be honest, this is a parking lot people use to park and walk the 200 feet down the the shoals and water cascades along Murder Creek. When we arrived, right before sunset in the middle of the week, it was clear that people had camped here (old fire ring near the end of the parking lot). We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. Besides the faint traffic noise that is mostly drowned out by the waterfall noise, this place was very quiet. We saw no one that evening or the next morning prior to departure. Had fun walking down to the water. I suspect in the summer this area is quite the hot spot with swimmers. The lot provably does require a little clearance. So, a sedan may not be the best choice. That probably helps with traffic control on this road. The site is at the very end.
Idk what’s going on but management drives out any workers every 3 months, and overworks them, doing 18 hours a day, and doesn’t even pay some of them. That’s not normal, and highly suspicious.
It’s not a safe town or a safe park. Half of it is a trashy trailer park, and is crawling with drug addicts, alcoholics, and thieves. Cops would come by weekly.
DONT GO HERE.
I know it’s cheap. It’s not worth it.
