Best Glamping near Lincolnton, GA

Site 74 is right between the beach an the boating dock. Very large pull thru. Love how it was super private compared to the many other campgrounds I've been to.. We set up tents and did our glamping camping with ac. Also site was right on the water. Beautiful views. Wish there was more of our own little swim beach area. Bring spray for ants an mosquitos but that's everywhere in the woods lol. Bathroom was average happy our site was so close to the facilities. Would recommend staying here

Fifteen fish and whose counting? Not to mention the 'BIG ONE' that got away on our last day!!!  (According to my Sweetie...Lol!)  Lincolnton, Georgia is the place to 'BEE' for a quiet and intimate getaway, encompassing relaxation and fun!  Lakefront Hotel! One of the best birthday celebrations ever!!! 

Thank you Jana for all the special consideration and your generosity!  We will definitely be seeing you again soon!

Clark’s Hill is a Great Lake! HK is an OK park. It does have a nIce golf course and skeet shooting, kayak rentals, cabins, a restaurant and a pool. The campsites are nice enough. but. The entire park sits on a mound of ants. ants everywhere. ants of all varieties. And most of the lake access is solid Georgia red clay mud...

Mistletoe State Park is another great Georgia State Park. Tucked way back in a big pine forest and nestled right up on the banks of Clarks Hill Reservoir it is well worth the effort to find reservations at this park. Over 70 sights with 30 amp, and water service, plenty of road side gray water dumps between sights and TWO dump stations. The Park Host do a fantastic job with keeping this park clean with multiple bath houses and a large amount of community space. For the hikers the trails are great, and very in difficulty to keep things fun and the backwoods hiking camp sights were great. The beach and boating facilities were very nice. The playgrounds were still closed off due to Con-19. We saw lots of wild life, lots of stars at night (gets really dark at night). I may be partial a little when it comes to Georgia State Parks but they have earned it. This one lives right up with the others I have visited. We had so much fun and created so many great memories that we can’t wait for our next adventure at another Ga State Park.

We spent a couple of nights in Mistletoe State Park in Georgia while we investigated my husband's ancestry.  This park is truly beautiful. As you enter and drive through the park you are surrounded by virgin forest and arrive at beautiful Lake Thurmond.  Our campsite was the best we have ever had anywhere.  Surrounded on 3 sides by the lake we woke to the sunrise and retired to a serene sunset each night.  Those we met in the area were so helpful and kind.  We will be back.

We camped in one of the tent only walk-in sites located on a peninsula jutting into the lake. We had a ton of stuff, not realizing it was an uphill and pretty long trek, but it was totally worth it. We had the whole place to ourselves, no neighbors, in late March. The sun setting over the water was beautiful, it was quiet even as a few motor boats came in for the night. There is a tiny beach on the tip of the peninsula, picnic tables, and an outhouse. It was my favorite spot of everywhere we stayed on an Alabama-Georgia-South Carolina roadtrip including AirBnB and bed and breakfast.

Just needed a quick stop for the night as we moved from the mountains of Georgia to the coast of South Carolina, and this was the perfect spot just off the highway. Unfortunately, we arrived and left in the rain, so the pictures probably don’t do it justice.

Seemed like a nice place to drop in for an impromptu camping weekend, especially if you want to fish or canoe. Easy access from Athens, GA, which is the closest city north of this campground – plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, and just about everything else you may need.

They have recently upgraded the campground with some new firepits and lantern poles, in addition to a picnic table in each of the half dozen spots. The boat launch is right next to the campground. Pit toilets were decently clean and stocked.

Camping is free with no reservations necessary, or even possible. Note: Due to its location, this could be a "meet up place" as we saw some evidence near the pit toilet, but didn't see any illegal activity firsthand.

We love this campground, so many great waterfront spots. to choose from! Beautiful, peaceful Lake.

Spent Fri-Sun (Aug 28-30) in site #55 on campground #1 loop.  We were on the west side of the loop and the last site directly on the water.  It is a back-in site and was wooded with a nice view.  We loved this spot, so much quieter than the rest of the loop.  This lake is all about boating so most of the sites are already packed in, then throw in most sites have a camper plus a boat on them and it can seem crowded.  From our site we could get in the water and use our SUP boards and swim around.  This spot is right between the bath house and dumpsters - about 2 min walk.  We would definately go back here and stay in the same area we were in.  There is a little beach and dock closer to the visitor center that was a 3/4 mile hike/walk each way (but we just swam at out site).

Would recommend Site #54, pull-through that will have you facing the lake and quiet.

If you love the water this is the perfect park for you. With its own beach and multiple boat ramp areas, this park makes the perfect transition for camping and waterplay. Kayaking and yoga as the sun rises over the water could not of been more perfect.

We are enjoying our stay here on Lake Thurmond! There are spacious campgrounds with everything you need! Beautiful, quiet park!

Loved it here! It was beautiful and had great views. I would definitely stay here again. The sites were spread out enough that you don’t feel on top of others.

Good boat ramps and clean bathrooms.

Had a great time at Elijah Clark SP. lots are spacious. Bathrooms/showers are outdated but not to bad. Most spots have lake access. Will be back!

This is an amazing park, amazing site. Would return without hesitation. Great little swimming cove and water sport lake.

We closed out September with a 5day/4night stay on site #110. I know everyone raves about 92-100 but I truly believe 110&112 were amazing especially if your camping with friends.

We stayed M-F so campground 2 was pretty empty and we were able to let the kids ride their bikes and play ball on the road.

Beach access from #110 is perfect and we basically set up an annex from our main camp in the beach. I definitely recommend bringing your kayak or boat as you could “dock” them in the little cove.

If sunrises are your thing #110 and #112 provide an amazing spot to watch the sun come up over the tree lined lake.

#110 was very level and extremely spacious and provided a very easy walking path to the beach.

Bathhouse by #110 & #112 was in great condition and was the unisex style with one toilet and sink and some had a shower. Facilities were very clean, however I never noticed a camp host cleaning them while we stayed.

Ice and firewood could only be purchased at the visitors center at the front of the park which wasn’t the most convenient to camping in campground 2. Other state parks we’ve been to the camp host has these items inside the campgrounds.

We had exceptional weather for camping on the lake 50/60 lows and upper 80s during the day which made our stay even more perfect.

Our family really enjoyed this state park. It was nice getting to camp right on the water. Beware of fire ant hills, as our kids stepped in several nests around our site. Bathrooms are really nice.

We have tent camped here twice at the walk in camp sites. The first time we were on sites 2 and 3 during a busy weekend. Second time we were on 3 and 4. I would definitely recommend 4 as the best walk in site by far. We had a group of 8 and 2 large tents that we were able to put side by side in between 2&3 and 3&4. There is a lot of room to spread out. Just a few yards away from 4 is a water bank where you can row a canoe up to easily if you decide to rent or bring your own canoe. They have canoes and kayaks for rent. $15 for 4 hours. $25 for 8 hours (8-5). The kids had so much fun with that. It is first come first serve starting at 8 am. Campsites 1-4 are all waterfront. I would not recommend the other sites at all. Very small and on a hill. You have to park at a designated area but you are able to bring your car down to unload. The bathrooms are a short walk up a hill which is fine but when you have to go badly it can feel like forever. The bathrooms in the walk-in site are bad compared to the RV sites. The showers are very small and pretty gross. There is a leak in the ceiling above the women's bathroom that drips over both stalls which is very unpleasant because everything is just so wet and dripping on you. Ended up having to use the men's at one point. Overall we really enjoyed our trips. The water view is beautiful. Despite the bathroom I would highly recommend this park.

It was our very first time camping and this was a great spot! Quiet, everyone is nice. We got campsite 55 and it was a perfect spot on the water. Not too far from restrooms for that late-night walk.

Second trip with the two kids and absolutely outstanding atmosphere. Site are spacious and very clean. The lake side view sites out stunning for rises and sun set. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Will be back for sure.

What's a great place to stay!!! Beautiful colors for the fall, waterfront campsites, water and electric hook ups and back-in AND pull-through spots available. The bathrooms with shower stalls have AC and heat no matter the time of year you go. Trails to hike, dog friendly, canoes and kayaks for rent and close enough to a town to drive in to if you tire of campfire meals and want a really good margarita or need a grocery store to grab anything you may have left behind.

We were on sites 103 and 104. Lake access was down a bit of a hill but manageable. The sites are almost buddy sites and you can drive between them.

This is the perfect park if you want to take your boat along! Lots of space to dock your boat at a waterfront site. Very nice bath houses, clean and updated. Large sites and large open yard behind it, great for dogs to run and kids to play!

Set up well for families with children… room to ride bikes, scooters, skateboards; playground; putt putt course; trails to walk; beach areas all around the camp ground for easy access to the water. Kayak rentals.

Bathrooms were generally clean. Campsites a relatively flat. Good picnic tables at each site. Not every site had a pole for a lantern or trash bags to hang from. Fairly good tree coverage around the campground for shade and hammocking.
