"It's proximity to Atlanta can cause the area around the falls to fill up quick so the earlier or colder the better."

GuideWe love camping at Fort Mountain. Its usually a good bit cooler due to the elevation, and the private wooded campsites make tent camping in Georgia’s summer heat much more enjoyable. Good hiking and things to do nearby.
RangerThis campground has a beautiful mountain view behind the lake. There is also a beautiful waterfall to hike to. They offer paddle boards, kayaks, peddleboats, and aqua cycles to rent for the lake. They also offer bike rentals and putt putt course. There is a general store in the visitor center. There are hiking trails for the extreme hikers too that go into the mountains on the Appalachian trail. The campsites are pretty close together, but we had a premier spot that was larger and a pull-through. The bathrooms were clean, but old and dated. This is one of the oldest campgrounds in the state. They offer cottages and cabins for rent. There was a dog parking loud constantly that was so annoying. We have dogs and many people camping there did, but our dogs don’t bark constantly. I would say this isn’t the campgrounds fault, but this irresponsible pet owner was literally between two campground hosts. Had it continued late at night past 10pm we would have had to call someone. It’s hard to relax by the fire with a dog barking constantly. The campground needs to add more signage. People are driving around looking lost. Here’s the problem ... if you have an RV or camper and park in the RV spaces when you pull out on the far end to the right you cannot see the directional signs. We pulled to the right and it was a dead end at the cottages. It was very stressful trying to the turn around hauling a camper. People in the cottages told us we weren’t the only ones to pull down there and have to turn around. Lots of cars were turning around down there, but with a camper it’s a nightmare. I paid extra for a pullthrough only to deal with that nonsense at the start. I suggest adding a sign at the far right exit of parking lot that has directions. Add another sign that says “Cabins only - Dead End”. If our camper had been an inch longer we couldn’t have turned around. Not impressed by the swimming area at the beach.
GuideCampground is next to SR 411. Excellent facilities and staff. We stayed for 3 days and had an enjoyable time. Fished in the pond played corn hole. Ran our dogs every day at the dog park. Will definitely head up there again
ScoutThis Campground is amazing. The woman in the office is so nice and very helpful. They have workers escort you to your site to make sure everything is OK. The man who escorted us was very nice, and made sure we knew where everything was (even after being told at the office). I loved that. 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, ect). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!
TravelerGreat for an overnight stop while traveling.
Not so great for a fun weekend.
No firepits or tables at many of the sites.
Bathroom seriously dated.
Dog park looked clean, if small. Playground had some "old school" equipment great for older kids.
ScoutThis is a great place to camp, we enjoy staying here they also have some tent sites, wifi is a bit spotty which is to be expected since everyone is trying to use it so either use your hotspot or a mobile internet provider and you will be fine, dog park was well kept, playground has plenty of options for the little ones, the splash pad was a hit for our little ones as they enjoyed it, check in was a breeze as the office folks are very informative as to the surrounding place’s you can visit all really at a relatively short drive…your close to your neighbor but not to close “if that makes since”….will definitely stay here again
ScoutI would not recommend this place as a goto camp. The Yellow River floods into the park during high rain periods, park gives no warning till they are getting water into the park, then it is a knock on the door to get out of the park if they have no openings in high ground area. Lots of wild cats in park, but no vermin there. Many ex-cons in the park, all kinds of history in them....woof. They try to keep it in good shape, but a lot of trash offender, litters adults as well as kids, people not picking up behind their pets.
Over all not the worst, but surely not close to good either. Only stayed a month just had to go.
LegendGreat mountain Thanksgiving vacay! Lots of area attractions and lots of activities at the KOA for our granddaughter! 2 playgrounds, mini golf, pillow pad, paddle boats, game room. Nice little dog park with mutt mitts, and staff friendly and helpful. Picnic table at each site, we were by the lake, but would have chosen near pillow-pad if available as those spots were better spaced. Nice store and clean facilities even though we didn’t use.
GuideLived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.

Hiking historical features: Fort Mountain State Park Campground features a mysterious 855-foot-long rock wall believed to have been constructed by early indigenous people. "What a sweet surprise to go camping here. We can't wait to go on more trails and explore everything this park has to offer. 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 Elaine G.
Waterfall exploration: At Amicalola Falls State Park Camping, visitors can access Georgia's tallest waterfall. "This 730ft cascading waterfall is accessible by stairs and bridge from top to bottom. It's proximity to Atlanta can cause the area around the falls to fill up quick so the earlier or colder the better," advises Fain H. The park recommends early morning visits (before 9am) to avoid crowds, particularly during summer and fall weekends.
Lake activities: Carter's Lake offers 3,200 acres of water recreation with strict shoreline protection. "The lake is not developed and very quiet so perfect for kayaking," says Jason I. about Doll Mountain Campground. Boat rentals are available at several marinas from March through October, with rates starting around $25/hour for canoes and kayaks.
Lake access options: Carters Lake campgrounds offer various water access points despite elevation changes. "Located on a peninsula, you have access to the lake from almost all campsites. Some sites are on a hill so the walk to the water can be challenging," reports Carissa D. about Doll Mountain Campground. Most waterfront sites require a short but steep walk down to the shoreline.
Weather-flexible accommodations: The region offers options for camping during variable weather conditions. "Fort Mountain State Park offers 70 drive-in campsites for tents/campers, 6 platform sites, 4 walk in sites, 4 backcountry sites, and 3 pioneer sites," details Stephanie J. Platform sites provide an alternative for those wanting shelter without bringing a tent.
Wildlife observation: Many campsites offer opportunities to spot native wildlife. "Beautiful area, my teens loved it. They found all kinds of insects they had never seen even a Luna moth," shares Traci C. about Amicalola Falls State Park Camping. Spring through early fall offers the best wildlife viewing opportunities, with early morning and dusk being optimal times.
Variable terrain: Campgrounds in the area often feature significant elevation changes. "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," notes Traci C. about Amicalola Falls State Park.
Seasonal considerations: Some facilities have limited operations during off-seasons. "No water this time of year but the lake can be accessed at the nearby boat ramp. Beautiful lake and forest. Have the place to myself for the most part at this time of year. Often in the 30s at night but nice in daytime," reports Guy W. about Woodring Campground.
Site selection importance: Research specific sites before booking as quality varies within campgrounds. "If you don't mind a little hike campsite 20 is the best you will find. It was right off the water. Don't underestimate the walk from the parking lot though it is no joke," advises Parker B. Most campground websites offer detailed site maps with elevation indicators and proximity to amenities.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer developed play areas. "Sweetwater Creek State Park offers a beautiful hike along the river and ruins. You can also rent kayaks and go out on the lake. There's a large camp store and the staff is very helpful and friendly," shares Maethea R. about Sweetwater Campground.
Swimming opportunities: Several campgrounds provide dedicated swimming areas. "This place has a nice camping spot with plenty of shade. We stayed at site A which was down a steep slope but, we had a nice view of the lake and even went for a swim right from our campsite," says Randall M. Water activities are typically most comfortable from June through September when water temperatures are warmer.
Entertainment facilities: Some campgrounds offer additional recreation beyond natural features. "Amazing! This was our first camping trip in our "new to us" camper. It was my husband, our 4 year old son, our 5 month old daughter, and myself. We had the best time at this campground... Playground was awesome and very big," notes Haley S. about 411 River Rest Campground.
Access challenges: Some campgrounds have narrow roads requiring careful navigation. "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," cautions Brock D. about Red Top Mountain State Park Campground.
Site leveling requirements: Many mountain campsites require leveling equipment. "The site had about a 5 inch difference shopping towards the road. I used rocker blocks maxed out (about 4 inches in height) and still was not level," reports Mike N. about Fort Mountain State Park. RVers should bring leveling blocks and wheel chocks for the variable terrain.
Seasonal availability: Note that some campgrounds operate seasonally. "Open 5 weeks and half of it was under construction but it had no impact on the place. It is right along the Coosawattee River on Hwy 411. Sites are big and spread out OK," notes Jeffrey S. about 411 River Rest Campground. Always check current operating dates before planning a trip.
