    Jackson, Georgia

    Located Northwest of Macon and great for camping near Atlanta, High Falls State Park is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Boat rental, ramps and fishing docks provide easy access to the park’s lake, known as one of Georgia’s top fishing spots for hybrid and white bass. Overnight visitors can choose from a spacious campground or lakeside yurts, which are like canvas and wood tents. Each yurt features a small deck, picnic table and grill outside, plus furniture, electrical outlets and a ceiling fan inside. During summer, guests may cool off in the park’s swimming pool.

    Visitors can hike along the river’s edge and through hilly forest to the remains of a hydroelectric power plant foundation. In the early 1800s, this area was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls fell from prosperity in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, the park is a popular camping destination and a relaxing side trip for travelers on I-75.

    Nice mostly quiet spot

    It was nice and warm even in December! Almost 70 degrees! Spot with a nice horse trail to hike - saw some deer and a mystery black animal, maybe a boar or a bear - unsure. Had a lot of neighbors on a weekday night - and a mystery trailer with no activity and no truck to pull it. Overall pretty easy gravel road to get to it, was a little buggy since it was humid and by the river but not too bad.

    First Time Camping and It Set the Bar

    Claystone Park was our first ever experience tent camping. Everything was great from the location of the bathroom and shower house, to ample space, and spectacular views. Quiet hours were respectfully observed, and all the amenities provided within our campsite were more than enough. Clean clean clean

    More than expected...unfortunate noise pollution

    This is a little gem of a state park. Indian Springs State park has a lot to offer. The camp sites are the other side of the lake from the group and public shelters/picnic areas etc so you feel away from everything. The park offers a museum, trails, kayak rentals and more. 

    The multi-purpose hike connects to the Dauset Nature Center trails and is worth taking the extra mile or so, at least, to go visit the nature center. The hike is rated as quite hard on All Trails and similar apps but, in reality, is fine for most levels. I am recovering from a back injury and this was my first 5+ mile hike in years. It was more than manageable. 

    One downside of the parks location is that you are close to Jackson and neighboring towns. There were some noises (e.g. loud cars) that could be heard from our site at night. It wasn't constant or overly intrusive. The main complaint was that other humans in the park seemed to not have consideration for their camping neighbors and enjoyed driving golf carts around while playing music at full volume. That can happen anywhere though and maybe shouldn't be a 'negative' for the park. 

    The park is well kept, comfort stations are fine and staff very friendly and helpful.

    Make it easy to be easy to come and spend.

    To make plans to coming in is terrible. you can't get in website if you show up in person or have a some one come in that doesn't work. If you don't make it simple for to come to your camp ground. Work for your campers.  I've been in 50 states and most of Canada and don't have this much trouble to come to your City and be a tourist and spend money.

    Secluded Until It Wasn’t

    I enjoyed my stay here during the day, but things changed after dark. There were old weedeaters scattered in the weeds, along with grills and other items that seemed to have been tossed into the woods. I initially brushed it off and didn't think much of it. I was the only one camping at this site. As night fell, I began preparing for bed, but I noticed vehicles coming and going—at least three within an hour. Around 10 PM, a few Mustangs pulled up and sat for about 45 minutes. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I decided to pack up and leave. After sharing my experience with a few friends, many of them expressed their own concerns about this location. I give it 3 stars for the beauty and peacefulness... until nightfall.

    Gorgeous site, trails a little rough

    Beautiful campsite, just a few neighbors, tons of flat space and a few fire pits. There are hunters around and we heard a good deal of shots. Saw some deer on a walk. It was quite hot but surprisingly not that buggy.

    Very nice

    I’m new to RV life but this place is very nice, clean and well manicured. And only $40 a night. That seems very reasonable to me with full hookups. I hope every place is like this, but something tells me that isn’t the case!

    Safe, well kept campground

    My husband and I choose to stay here when in the Macon area. Stayed 3+ months in lot 57, 2 weeks in lot 45 and 1 week in lot 14. Wonderful owners that live on-site. There are several full time campers but never any riffraff. Lots of room for dog's to walk and run their humans. Propane fill station, WiFi, laundry room, shower house, bathroom's and a small playground. Easily accessible right off the highway, level sites, 30 & 50 Amp, Water & Sewer and many pull through sites. A pool would make it 5 stars for me 😀

    Friendly Staff - Not a Great Site

    We made this reservation many months ago and have rescheduled a few times as our plans changed. Today, we checked in and filled our propane tank. The person was training at the desk and messed up the billing. I got to site 112, which was not very level; I had to jack the front of the RV off the ground to get level. The sewer connection was uphill, so I did not dump tanks. WiFi was spotty and very slow. Cell coverage AT&T and Verizon were both poor. The site was muddy from water runoff. Convenient for overnight stay. But not a campground where I would spend multiple nights.

    close to Rigby's and the aviation museum

    Stayed here mostly to visit Rigby's and the aviation museum.  My girlfriend loved the horses - different ones are coming and going frequently.  My 6 year old had a great time with the other kids and pond and playground.  Great facilities and staff.

    quiet refuge, great place for overnight

    Stayed here overnight while returning from South Georgia. Was only camper that night, perhaps 10-12 other groups making use of lake/fishing vicinity further into the park -- all of whom exited the park at dark. There is a really nice covered pavilion overlooking the lake if you get rained out (4 picnic tables.) Bathrooms with flush toilets and hot water available 200 yards away from pavilion. Park is split in two sections. The upper section (when you first drive in) is where the camping spots are. The lower section has 3-4 small lakes popular with fishing. T-mobile showed 2 bars 5G allowing you to grab a 1 day fishing pass ($8) to satisfy permit.

    This place is a refuge. There are privately owned homes around but the folks keep to themselves. It's quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out. The state keeps it and the road in nice. Expect to have a drive thru at least once around 9/10. It's just a see who is in the area type thing. Very nice place

    Bad Experience

    We should have known when we first arrived not to stay here. Our welcome was very brisk and unfriendly. Our site was literally right next to the freeway with terrible freeway noise and fuel smells. We asked to be moved and our new site was so narrow that the picnic tables didn’t even fit in the site and tottered on the edge of the site’s bank. They offer site garbage pick up daily, but not to monthly stays. So they drive right by your site while picking up garbage to sites right next to you! Playground is satisfactory but the dog park is muddy and rocky. When we signed in and mentioned we were excited about having a dog park the check in person said she wouldn’t take her dog to it! I highly recommend driving right on by! We use KOA’s regularly and this campground management is far below KOA standards! Beware!

    Awesome remote campsite

    We camped here over thanksgiving weekend and were the only ones camping. A few people here and there to visit during the day/evenining but we were the only ones overnight. Very remote and quiet. As others have said, no water or bathrooms. We did have two trucks come unload their loud boats at the ramp around 3:30-4am which was annoying but that’s the risk you take.

    Great spot right on the water

    Very nice spot. No toilets or drinking water available. There is a trash barrel by the picnic pavilion, but I think the expectation is to pack out trash. You just can’t beat the location though. Right on the water with a great view.

    Forsyth, GA….Horrible

    Don’t go!!!! The person said it was a vaca must have stayed in some pretty bad campgrounds. The sites have crumbled asphalt so hard to find sold place for jacks. We pd for sewer but didn’t get it. Roads were tight with lots of trees and set up on circles. Two older gentleman on a golf cart said they just purchased it 5 days ago. Based upon prior comments and pictures I don’t believe that to be true. You come in on a frontage road with a switch back right by the turn into parking area. The left turn into the park is like a tight u-turn in which there is a huge ditch or drop off that you can’t make without the rear of the RV dropping into this ditch. The campground sits a bit below the frontage road. To compound issues not only can you not make that turn without the back of the camper in this ditch and ripping off the jacks and other components in the rear, there is a sizable crest on frontage road so while our 42’ 5th wheel was sitting on the road we were hoping nobody came flying down that hill and be not able to stop. It was suggested by a guy waiting for us on the switch back to get out of his way to back up and go up the switch back and come in from the other side. It worked but that’s dangerous and needs to be taken care of immediately. Laundry room was ok and reasonable.
