    One with Nature Glamp Camp

    Awesome Getaway in the City

    This is a cute eclectic glamping ground that has a lot of character. There are 2 bell tents in the area. One setup with a king bed and the other a twin bed. The amenities are mind blowing…….top tier linens, mobile power units, lighting, movie projector, movie speaker and yes a wood burning stove in your tent. There is an outdoor shower, port-a-potties and sanitary wipes to handle business. Their indoor bathroom facility is under construction. This place is awesome! Get in before the prices go up☝️

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Extraordinary Attractions

    Stone Mountain hardly needs another glowing review, but it is a pleasure to stay there. First, everything is contained and available. The views of the lake, and, yes, the mountain are gorgeous. There is a nice spacious check-in store. Your trash is picked up constantly from your site. Each site has a deck, a grill with a propane tank already attached, a picnic table, and a fire pit, electric and sewer hook ups. The sites are close together, but the decks are pretty private. If you bike, hike, run or like trails, boating and fishing, all are right there. It helps to have a car/truck, as the place is pretty immense, but my neighbors had a Class C and were throughly enjoying mountain biking to everything. Another neighbor with a gorgeous Class A was driving his towed truck to a neighboring Petco. There is everything. Deer roam in the morning and at night, and if golf is your sport of choice, Stone Mountain has a highly rated public course. The staff is very friendly. I liked the purple area near the playground and pool. The sites seemed a little more private. It’s not cheap, and I don’t know what discounts might be available. But, if you’re in or around Atlanta, this is the place to go. It will NOT disappoint.

    Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

    Cabins are definitely the highlight here!

    The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. 

    They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites). 

    There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)

    We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. 

    2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

    Clark Creek South Campground

    Great view of the Lake

    The campsite was right next to the swimming beach so little to no privacy and very loud. Although I slept very well in my tent because Quiet hours were observed. It was nice waking up to view of Lake Allatoona. Lady at the gate was rude when checking in so make sure to “READ the sign!” Other than that bathrooms were clean and they have laundry and hot water showers. Will most likely be back!

    Shady Grove Campground on Lake Lanier

    We met some friends here in the late afternoon Sunday of July 4th weekend. They already had a site (#51) which was nice with a beautiful view over the lake. The site had a nice big area with fire pit, picnic table, grill and room for a big tent. It also had a paved area down below where you can set up chairs with a great view of the water. The bath house was just a walk away. It did not have a great beach area, you have to climb or jump down the embankment but it is doable, just be mindful of young ones and pets. There is a main beach area in the campgrounds down the street but we wanted privacy for our group. The water is rocky so be careful. Once in the water we had a blast, great view of the islands in the water, boaters and jet skiers going by and nobody else on our beach. The bathrooms and showers were not great but there if you need them. They definitely don't want alcohol in the park. My friends said someone came by and told them to make sure they don't have alcohol earlier that day but I never saw one park ranger the whole time we were there. The other sites were kind of close but we got lucky and they all left earlier in the day. The sunrise was beautiful over the lake, we got to see some fireworks over across the lake at lanier world.

    Bald Ridge Creek

    Very nice overall

    Nice view of lake when site across the lane isn't occupied. Restrooms/ showers cleaned and relatively maintained (1 shower curtain missing) , debris free paved lanes to all sites. Spot 80 had good afternoon shade. Trees block heavy winds from north and west. Fire pit may fill 1/2 way from heavy rain/ ground water.

    Shady Grove Campground

    Nice clean campgrounds

    Nice quiet camp grounds. Each camping spot has a decent amount of room including a fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Spots are slightly uneven. There is easy access to the boat ramp and lake beach. The bathrooms are clean.

    Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

    First time visiting & it won’t be our last

    We’ve been wanting to camp here for a while, but every time we decided to go, it’s been all booked up.... that might have been our fault though, because we like to plan last min trips. 🙂 This time we actually planned it out a few weeks in advance and got a nice spot.

    I really liked the booking process, because it shows you exactly what spot is available and it even shows you a pic of the site you’ll be getting. Our site was only $35 a night + a $5 parking pass.

    The campground has a lot to offer! It has a boat access point, fishing, walking and biking trails, a small putt putt course, playground area for the kids and best of all it’s pet friendly! I can’t go without saying the employees are so friendly and helpful!

    Campsite wise, it has electric, water, cable, a huge picnic table & a grill/fire pit. The only negative was it wasn’t a full hookup. 😔Something else that I really loved was all of the huge natural rocks located all throughout the campground. Each campsite seemed to have their own collection of rocks and it really added to the experience. Another plus is that it has a dump station right at the exit, so on your way out you can take care of your last minute steps to finish up your camping experience. 😁

    If you’re in the area I would highly recommend this campground! You can’t go wrong!

Guide to Lithia Springs

Glamping options close to Lithia Springs, Georgia provide campers with access to numerous water activities and scenic hiking trails throughout Bartow and Cobb counties. The region sits at approximately 1,100 feet elevation in the foothills leading up to the Appalachian Mountains, with humidity levels that remain high most of the year. Campgrounds in this area typically maintain operating seasons extending from spring through fall, with some sites remaining open year-round.

What to do

Hike historical ruins trails: At Sweetwater Creek State Park, visitors can explore the Civil War-era New Manchester Manufacturing Company. "Hiking, kayaking, swimming- plenty of things to do. You can spend a whole day out here just walking along the creek and jumping across the rocks," notes Asia + Jalen B. The park features trails suitable for various fitness levels.

Visit lakefront fishing spots: Clark Creek South Campground offers fishing opportunities directly from most campsites. "Most sites on the lake with a ton of space between sites and lake access. Beach and boat ramp on site," explains Jen. The campground maintains 40 sites with direct water access for fishing enthusiasts.

Explore mountainous terrain: The trails at Red Top Mountain provide varying difficulty levels for hikers looking for more challenging terrain. "The trail around the lake is good and in the winter it is not too far north has to be too cold to get outside in a tent," notes Anna R. Winter temperatures at Red Top typically remain moderate enough for comfortable camping.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained bathrooms at Stone Mountain Park Campground. "The shower house was a little dirty, so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5," writes Tonya B., suggesting that even when facilities don't meet expectations, they're generally adequate. Most sites include standard water and electric hookups.

Spacious campsites: Chattahoochee Bend State Park receives praise for its campsite layout. "We loved our spot especially #103 in Campground 1, lots of privacy for our 21ft Lance TT," shares Erin C. The park offers raised platforms near the river that create separation between camping groups.

Lakefront views: Many glamping options near Lithia Springs feature water views. "Every single plot had a beautiful view, plenty of space and power hookup, water etc.," writes Dale C. about McKinney Campground. The campsites along the lakeshores provide both scenic vistas and direct water access.

What you should know

Limited tent sites: Some parks prioritize RV camping over tent options. "Not many camping spots for tents more for rv's. Had nice trails but can't go fishing without a boat," reports Devin S. about Chattahoochee Bend. Several glamping parks in the region maintain fewer than 10 tent-specific sites.

Highway noise: Proximity to major roadways can affect the camping experience. "This place is nice overall. Lots of sites are water front, that's a plus. But it is so close to i75 that the sound of traffic is constant," warns Adriana C. about Old Highway 41 Campground. Sites farther from the highway offer quieter experiences.
