GuideJust so beautiful and awesome. Camp host was lovely and our site could not have been more perfect. Internet said it was a walk up but it was a drive up. Site 52, I’m convinced it has to be the best one there. It adjoins via a mild staircase to 53 and would be perfect for two families to have. It’s right on the water and the sunset was phenomenal. Love it a lot. Electric and water, picnic table and fire ring.
GuideWe went over the Halloween weekend. What great fun. Lots of events for families and kids. Even us retired people got into the spirit! Sites were well maintained with space between sites. Bathrooms were clean all the time. Cell service was at best 2 bars on all networks. But that’s okay. Fall colors were abundant. If you had a small boat, canoe or kayak the lake is perfect for fishing or just enjoying. The only drawback was some road noise from Fairplay road. Otherwise I can’t say enough of how much we liked this park. Site 16 October.
LegendThis was our first trip here and it was beautiful! We loved biking all over the park. We loved sitting by the falls. Would’ve loved to go in the museum, but it wasn’t open when we were there (very limited days/hours).
-Camp hosts were absolutely wonderful! They were a pleasure to talk with. The friendliest group ever!!
-Bath house was extremely clean.
-We stayed in the newer section.
-Definitely make your way to the Stone Pavilion and sample the natural artesian spring water. It’s not something I’d want a lot, but when in Rome…🤣
TravelerWelcome center is nice, but the roads and asphalt sites are crumbling. We had a back in site that was fairly level. No real privacy from neighboring sites.
GuideCampsite was the perfect lake front spot for our dog’s last camping adventure with us. The resort felt super safe for 2 females traveling with their dog and all campsites and bathrooms were super clean.
RangerWe stayed at Site #45, and it quickly became one of our favorite campsites because it felt more like a wooded overlook, perched above the lake. The breeze coming off the water kept us comfortable enough to enjoy a campfire even on a hot August evening.
The site fit our 14x10 tent comfortably, but I wouldn’t recommend anything larger. There isn’t a true tent pad, and you’ll notice the slope while sleeping—but the view from inside the tent was priceless. We experienced a four-hour thunderstorm and didn’t have any standing water at our site afterward.
⚠️ The slope becomes much steeper near the shoreline, so I wouldn’t recommend this site for toddlers or anyone with mobility concerns.
🛝 Our 7-year-old loved fishing from the shoreline and thought the steep slope made the perfect slide to get back down to the water. Built-in slide + dirty shorts = happy camper. 😂
🔥 The site includes a clean fire ring with an adjustable cooking grate and a separate standing charcoal grill.
🦟 We didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes during our stay.
🚰 The shared water pump wasn’t working during our visit.
🚽 The bathhouse was spacious, clean, and only a short walk away.
🚗 A community wagon is parked near the bathhouse for campers to use when hauling gear between their vehicle and campsite. Loved that!
A few tips:
🪵 The Visitor Center sells $6 bundles of firewood and has a nice selection of souvenirs.
🐜 Plenty of flies and large ants, so keep your food put away and your tent zipped.
🪲 Cicadas were loud at night. I loved it, but our 7-year-old slept with his wireless headphones on. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to pack earplugs if you’re camping here June-August.
🎣 We caught more bluegill fishing from our campsite than we did from the fishing dock.
🌅 If you’re looking for one of the best views in the campground and don’t mind sleeping on a slight incline, Site #45 is well worth considering.
TravelerTook the grandbaby for a last blowout before school starts back. She had a bast lots of kids she quickly made several friends
TravelerSpot #50 is perfection! Feels like you live alone on a tiny peninsula. Perfect place to explore trails, go fishing, enjoy sunset, and just be.
LegendWe stayed at Winding Waters Riverfront RV Resort for four nights after picking up our new 5th wheel toy hauler from Three Way Campers in Marietta to thoroughly test all of the RV's systems while remaining close to the dealership if any issues arose. We followed the emailed arrival instructions, checked in quickly, and were escorted to pull-through Site 89 with full hookups. The staff was friendly, service-oriented, and very accommodating throughout our stay. We spent our first night in the pull-through before moving to a river-view back-in site. The staff initially suggested Site 190, but after we noticed it had very little yard space, they happily moved us to Site 193, which better suited our needs. The resort offers several unsecured Wi-Fi networks; we selected the strongest signal and averaged 82 Mbps download and 9 Mbps upload. We received two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, and our T-Mobile Home Internet worked well. We didn't bring Starlink on this trip, but with very few trees throughout the main campground, it should perform well in most sites. The pull-through sites are better spaced than many campgrounds of this type, although we still wouldn't describe them as spacious. We appreciated the PVC chairs and round tables found at many sites instead of the typical picnic table, and there are five"Paw Pen" pull-through sites with private fenced pet areas. The nearby dog park consists of two small fenced runs that are adequate for potty breaks but not really large enough to throw a ball. Although the water park and numerous family-oriented amenities are not typically what we look for in a campground, Winding Waters was an excellent place to shake down our new rig.

The area lies within the Piedmont region at elevations of 700-1,100 feet, characterized by rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests. Summer temperatures regularly reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter overnight temperatures drop to the 30s.
Hiking trails: Stone Mountain Park Campground features multiple trail options including a challenging climb to the summit. "We loved these grounds. They were clean and there was easy access to bathrooms. The hike to the top was a challenge, but the views were worth it," says Judy B.
Fishing opportunities: Hard Labor Creek State Park offers fishing access at two lakes. "My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site. There was a lot to see and do," notes Susan K. about her lakeside site at Stone Mountain Park Campground.
Water recreation: Indian Springs State Park Campground has a small lake with boat rentals available. "We rented kayaks and rode bikes all weekend! The cabins were updated and very cute perfect for a weekend away," shares Casey L.
Proximity to Atlanta: Campers appreciate the cabin options that allow quick escapes from the city. "Good for a quick get away while still having access to 'city life'. There are some beautiful spots close to the water where you do feel like you're deep in nature," explains Jessica D. of Stone Mountain Park Campground.
Clean facilities: Red Top Mountain State Park Campground maintains spotless bathhouses. "Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly," notes Cris C. Another camper mentions, "Great staff, grounds very and clean neatly kept" at Atlanta South RV Resort.
Privacy levels: Some cabin locations offer more seclusion than others. At Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground, "Platform sites are super nice. Short walk into the sites, right beside a river. Not much privacy between platforms but every time we have been it hasn't been full or crowded," says Jessica D.
Reservation timing: Book early for summer weekends. "We visited in late April and could only find a campsite during the week. Despite Covid-19, the park was open for day-use and overnight guests," reports Nancy W. about Fort Yargo State Park Campground.
Site selection matters: At Fort Yargo State Park Campground, "If you're like me and appreciate a bit of privacy when camping, the walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo are the place to go. Just a short 1-2 minutes walk from your car and bathrooms, but you feel much more secluded than the campsites in the regular campground," advises Amalia K.
Seasonal considerations: Summer cabin rentals book quickly and can be hot. "We camped on the raised platforms by the river. The other campgrounds are away from the river back in the woods. The tent sites are a bit too close together for my liking," explains Kayla S. about Chattahoochee Bend State Park.
Educational programs: Stone Mountain Park offers junior ranger activities. "Although most of the facilities are closed right now, the park staff and volunteers were constantly working to ensure everything is clean and working properly," notes George & Patty C.
Playgrounds available: Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground has family-friendly amenities. "There is a putt putt (mini golf) course. You can rent kayaks and kayak in the lake. They offered a kayak by moonlight group tour that was fun," shares Maethea R.
Transportation considerations: Some parks provide internal transit. "There's all kind of activities for the kids. They have free transportation within the park/campground area. Helpful staff too," mentions Harvey B. about Stone Mountain Park.
Leveling requirements: Check site details before booking cabins or RV sites. "The only downfall was that the trailer needed a lot of leveling. But it was totally worth it. Our site was on the lake," reports Susan K. at Stone Mountain Park.
Site specifications: Large rigs need careful planning. "Sites are a little close, but it's big rig friendly, and so is the staff. Donna in the office was very kind and helpful, and so were all of the guys working the grounds," says Jason E. about Atlanta South RV Resort.
Road conditions: Interior roads vary by park. "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," warns Brock D. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
