    Fun forest find

    Great camping option for first come. Glad to get plenty of options for sites. Long drive in. Hosts were great and even deliver firewood to your site. Clean bathrooms, showers, and overall campground. Only had one guest with many kids playing late into night, past quite hours (if any are posted), but we found out it was Fall break and kids were out of school all week. Great hike around the lake and boatramp for trolling motors only.

    Full sun all day

    This campground is side by side hook ups. Not a tree one in the site area. Beautiful view of the mountain. We did not stay the night.

    Quiet, friendly, and affordable

    We spent one night here on the way down to Florida. It is first come first serve and we had no issue finding a space on a Thursday. The lake and surrounding area are full of birds and wildlife. The sites are well maintained, level, with clean bathrooms. So happy we stumbled on this national forest campground!

    No cell service. Poorly marked trail around the lake, still worth checking out! Just follow the lake!

    Lake Life

    This is a great camping spot with a beautiful lake. The trail around the lake was perfect. Caught 3 bass in the lake. You can't beat the price.

    Free camping next to a beautiful creek.

    Very nice CG with picnic tables, pit toilet and trash can. I saw 3 copper heads at the creek.

    Great "Away From It All" Camping

    Great campground. Secluded with electrical and water hookups. Make sure you use Highway 78 to enter. Google Maps will send you on a 11.5 mile mountain trail ( Dugger Mountain Road) that is a dirt 2 track over the mountain...an interesting trip with a camper. The campground is very well maintained. The bath house is very clean and up to date. Sites are level and we'll spaced

    Easy boondocking

    Stayed 13 days. I came from the west and had no problems getting my 23ft camper up the mountain. There were a few people that stayed in a tent for a night or two here and there, but I didn’t see any other RV/Campers so every spot was open. Trees fall easily so if it’s windy be careful where you park. You do need a land pass to be here, the website is on the sign coming in and it was around $60.

    Great campsites at a fantastic price

    Beautiful campsites near a small lake. Very quiet. Forest Service campground with electric and water. $16 a night or $10 with senior pass. No cell service- a big plus for me!

    Well-equipped campground by a pretty lake

    Popular campground with 39 sites, water & electric, flush toilets and shower. $16/nt. Overflow area has no hookups. Lake is pretty and fish are accommodating. We had site #30, and did not feel crowded at all despite the campground being full. County Rd 500 was overgrown and twisty. Presence of 35’ trailers suggests there’s a better way in (maybe FS500 or FS548?)

    Overflow for tents

    First time here. Clean camp, clean restrooms, great scenery. Main two loops are really for campers/RVs and are really close together with little privacy but have water and electricity. We ended up checking out the “overflow” area - didnt know it existed - and those campsites are more primitive, no water or electricity but have fire rings and pea gravel. Overflow is more spacious and private. Our spot was right above the lake. Main two loops are $16 and overflow is $6. The overflow is on the right as you pull in the campground - some people had campers up there but definitely the spot if you are tent camping. Had a great time, will return!

    Good Site without much Seclusion

    Nice spot, well defined with burn pits and picnic tables. Not too much seclusion with the way the sites are setup as you can see all of you neighbors, but still worth coming to.

    Very nice campground with FHU for $16

    Beautiful, mostly shaded sites. My site, #7 had a path that led right down to the lake. Very nice bath house with shower and flushing toilets. Has a Beach area and playground in the day use area.

    Peaceful sleep next to a creek

    This was a beautiful little spot next to a creek. There are 5 sites in all. It was a Monday in August, and there were two spots available.

    There was a pit toilet with plenty of toilet paper and it was quite clean.

    There's also a bear box and signs clearly indicating there are bears around and that you should keep all food in your vehicle or use the box.

    Lastly, the road up there is all rock/dirt with a several hundred foot drop-off on the right side and no guardrail. There were a few hairpin turns. And then the driveway to and from the camp area is quite steep. Our 2WD (front wheel drive) Honda Passport struggled to get back up it on our way out, and we had to hit the steepest part with some speed to make it out.

    We saw a van/bus dweller there, but just know what you're getting into.

    Quiet and comfortable camping experience

    Nice little lake to play on and around. Very family and pet friendly. Restrooms and showers exceptionally clean. Not alot of paid spots with water electricity and first come first serve so no reservations. Plenty of dispersed throughout the area though.

    Beautiful area!

    This area is easily accessible but can be packed during prime camping season! There is a beautiful waterfall about a mile down trail from camp and tons of great swimming areas!

    Little Tallapoosa Park

    Well Maintained, Perfect Get Away

    Heard about this place from a co-worker and I was not disappointed.

    Check in is easy, either call and leave a deposit or drive up and pay. They let you peruse the sites before paying which was nice.

    Hosts stop by to introduce themselves and how to contact them if needs arise.

    Everything is well maintained from the roads, campsites, unpaved trails, and bathrooms. I was impressed with how clean everything was despite being a campground.

    Trails are great for running or just nice stroll, and there is a small lake onsite that could be used to fish with convenient benches around it.

    The only downside would be that the campground is close to a highway, so occasionally there will be loud subs or burnouts, but not to the point that I’d remove a star.

    Overall great experience and will be camping here frequently.

    Awesome RV Park in Carroll County GA!!

    Great RV park that is owned and ran by the county. We stayed in the horse camp section because the RV area was full. They use the horse camp area as overflow. Plenty of space there with power and water. Sewer hookup is only available in the RV section. Tons of walking/horse trails to go along with a creek and a couple of lakes.

    Even a Snow day

    We checked in and I was impressed with the reception, she worked with me to get everything right. Spot was not far from the bath house. And My only issue was the noise of another group of people halfway through my stay.

    Very nice and open

    Was a very nice and open area to camp at. Came in at night so was hard to see spots. Despite it being November there were a good amount of people. If you come in summer when it’s busy, I would recommend going to the first open field when you enter which is to the right. I decided to go all the way back down the gravel road to the back and every spot was taken so I wasted about 30 minutes. I had just a little bit of service, and there were no amenities that I could find. If you have a trailer or rv I recommend coming in from the west direction, if you can tell from maps. The east way had 180 degree sharp turns up the mountain, so may be difficult. Views were very nice going up that way though. Would stay here again if I needed to

    If you like off the grid... This is the place.

    It is absolutely beautiful! The most beautiful I've stayed. There are not a lot of amenities but the beautiful site of those mountains. Be warned... There is no cell service and no Wi-Fi. Off the grid. There is a country store on site with minimal need items. They staff was amazing and super friendly! We are going back in the spring.

    Can't wait to go back!

    This is a nice primitive camp site just a 2 min walk from Petty John Cave and a 5 min drive to Rock Town Trailhead. Come here to try your hand at rock climbing and spelunking. The permit was 15 dollars to access Rock Town and the Caves... I'd like to come and try my hand at spelunking some time soon. There is also a good view of Summerville from the mountain top. You can also make a 20 minute drive to Howard Fensters Paradise Gardens.

    Very good!

    Coleman Lake Campgrounds is a really nice campground with clean bathhouses, paved roads, relatively flat camp sites, great bike and hiking trails, and big lake for fishing and swimming. Lots of things to keep the kids entertained or just a quiet getaway for the adults.
