      Doll Mountain Campground

      Peaceful and Spacious

      We have now been to this campground three times - twice in the fall and now this last time in the spring. The fall foliage is beautiful and it's fun to get apples and such in Ellijay. 

      This time, there was definitely more boat and Jet Ski traffic, but did not take away from the beauty of the campground. The bathroom is older, but clean, and a bit of a hike down a hill and then back up the hill from the loop we were in, but not bad. We were glad to have a clean place to shower, nevertheless. There are lots of trees and the sites are rather spacious and nice, having water and electric hookups. Our site was lovely with a concrete pad and nice deck. 

      We have Verizon and had service at the site. We enjoyed our little mountain getaway very much!

      Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

      Beautiful Place

      I stayed at the walk- in campsites with waterfront view and access to walk down to the water. There is no electric at site and water didn’t work. The bathroom facilities are well maintained and whole place is really clean. This site was right next to parking other 3 are close but wagon recommended to haul items to other walk on sites.

      Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

      Amazing Forest Setting

      Gorgeous campground on the lake with excellent facilities. Priority along the lake front is given to tent sites, which is nice. There's a mix of sizes for small campers and big RVs so it never feels crowded. Not a huge amount to do in the area except chill on the lake or at your site in the woods... which is fine by me. The one shortcoming was difficult lake access from the campground. There are plenty of beach areas when the lake is low but getting to them can be challenging. There's a public beach in another part of the park but we didn't go there.

      Vogel State Park Campground

      Gem of the State Park system

      Vogel has always been one of our favorites. We have camped here for more than 50 years. Vogel has been around for over 95 years and the state has done a really good job maintaining and improving the park. They have redone most of the sites within the last several years. Because the campground is so old, the roads can be narrow and the sites a challenge for the giant rigs that have become popular today. There is a new visitor center with great views of the lake. During our April 2026 visit, the lake was completely drained for maintenance on the dam.

      Vogel is one of the few campgrounds where you can actually camp under a dense canopy of old trees. If you want to escape the campgrounds that feel like you are parked in a Walmart parking lot, give Vogel a try.

      Thunder Rock Campground

      Thunder Rock

      Quaint/quiet and tranquil spot. Right on the Ocoee River. Packed during the weekends with pretty right spots but it’s an awesome setting with less traffic during the week. A lot of mountain bikers and whitewater enthusiasts.

      Fort Mountain State Park Campground

      4.7 stars

      Spectacular scenery. The campground has two loops, both with nicely spaced out sites. We liked the creekside loop, but lakeside looked very nice as well. The lake is small but cold and clear, probably spring fed. The playground is average and they have a mini golf course that's cool. The camp store is excellent, though a drive from the campground. Also a short drive (or 3 mile hike) away is the star of the show- the overlook, tower and rock wall. Unbelievable views and great rocks to scramble and play on. The history of the mysterious rock Wall is intriguing. A great place to spend a few hours. The trails are numerous and well marked. We didn't see any bears or snakes. Overall a great place.

    Guide to Jasper

    Camping sites near Jasper, Georgia range in elevation from 1,300 to 3,000 feet above sea level, positioned within the southern Appalachian Mountains. The area's terrain features steep access roads to some campgrounds, with 25% grade inclines reported at Fort Mountain State Park. Winter temperatures can drop to the 30s at night while maintaining comfortable daytime conditions for off-season camping opportunities.

    What to do

    Hiking at historic sites: Fort Mountain State Park offers trails leading to preserved Civilian Conservation Corps structures. "The fire tower is a vision..To think that young men came and worked and set every stone step you walk on to get to see the tower is an amazing feat of engineering," notes one visitor at Fort Mountain State Park.

    Water activities on Carters Lake: The undeveloped shoreline makes it ideal for kayaking with minimal boat traffic during weekdays. "This lake has heavy boat traffic, lots of fisherman and jet skies. During the week, it's quite. A really nice place to visit. I SUP along the shoreline and in coves, but lots of chop on the weekends," reports a visitor to Woodring Campground.

    Wildlife observation: The mountain forests host diverse species, including bears in some areas. A camper at Fort Mountain State Park shares: "For our camping group, this place was amazing. We had bear visitors, something they'll warn you about upon arrival. The bears just added to the appeal of this place though."

    What campers like

    Lakeside privacy: Select sites at some campgrounds offer direct water access. A visitor to Sweetwater Campground explains: "This is one of our favorite campgrounds. The view of the lake is beautiful. We always stay on site 100 it's right on the water."

    Clean facilities: Bathhouses receive consistently positive reviews, especially at newer campgrounds. At 411 River Rest Campground, a camper noted: "This campground is very nice at the moment of this review with the potential to become exceptional. It is currently been open about 5 months and construction is still ongoing. The bathhouses are exceptional."

    Multiple camping styles: Options range from drive-in sites to more adventurous platforms. "We chose Fort Mountain for the variety of camping options they had, specifically the platform sites. As one of our primary requirements for camping is privacy and a place our kids can run around without bothering anyone else, having a place slightly off the main road sounded perfect--and it was," explains a visitor about Fort Mountain State Park.

    What you should know

    Site selection matters: The elevation and terrain create challenges for leveling at some sites. A camper at Red Top Mountain State Park advised: "Be sure to check the map carefully for terrain. Many sites are high above the water."

    Accessibility considerations: Some campgrounds have narrow, steep roads that can be difficult for larger vehicles. "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in. Sites were very narrow," warns a visitor to Red Top Mountain State Park.

    Seasonal variations: Winter camping requires preparation but offers solitude. "We went in December and the weather was a little cool and damp but the views were great when the fog lifted. They're great scenic hikes in the park. Bathrooms were clean with very hot water," reports a camper from Fort Mountain State Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds offer designated play areas and water features. A visitor to Diamond Lure Campground shares: "The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, etc). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!"

    Splash pads for summer relief: Some newer facilities include water features specifically for children. "Splash pad, playground, volleyball court and large dog run. Owners are adding sites and continuing to add amenities," notes a visitor to 411 River Rest Campground.

    Nature discovery opportunities: The forested settings provide educational experiences. A parent camping at Fort Mountain State Park reported: "I read a lot before my trip, so I knew to except the 25% grade incline going up to the campground. I wasn't however expecting the challenging parking in the campsite. Beautiful area, my teens loved it. They found all kinds of insects they had never seen even a Luna moth."

    Tips from RVers

    Watch for elevation changes: RV sites can be difficult to access due to mountain terrain. A camper at Amicalola Falls State Park advises: "We have a 27' airstream and there are a couple campsites that are hard to get into. Number 18 does not look hard, but the layout is very difficult to get into. The bend halfway into the campground would be extremely difficult with much bigger than 27' camper."

    Choose pull-through sites when available: Many RVers report tight turns and challenges with back-in spots. "We went in an RV and enjoyed it immensely. The lake, Lake Alltoona is huge with hundreds of miles of shore line and lots of camping areas. This place had a nice campsites very shaded and the lake was nice and cool to swim in," reports a visitor to Sweetwater Campground.

    Utility connections vary widely: Check hookup types before booking. At 411 River Rest Campground, a visitor noted: "Sites are big and spread out OK. There are showers on site and a nice playground, and coming soon a real office and 20 more sites. Several full hook up, pull through, river front, etc."
