"A few years ago, I visited this location because I considered living long term in an RV. The location is in a good spot right off the free way. It is clean."
"Fine place for a short term stay, near enough to Atlanta that you can visit. The campground itself is back behind a construction area, and Google has a hard time routing to it properly."

TravelerWe stopped in to check it out. But there is a burn ban at this time so we didn't want to take any chances. We will be back! I will give a better review then.
GuideEasy to get in as it's marked on the road. Fairly flat ground.
GuideVery crowded campground, tight sites, and dated facilities. Stayed one night on a through trip, so they let me stay with my custom built RV but they have a rule against it if you’re staying more than one night. I am not sure why because this isn’t an RV resort, it reminds me of an over crowded KOA. Good for business stay or a quick overnight but if you have a family and want room for your kids to play, I’d look elsewhere.
GuideWe got a site with full hook ups and it was unusually expensive for a State Park. It was fairly level and gravel. It had a picnic table and small deck area that was in rough shape and needs replacement. It was just OK. At least it was quiet at night and the bathhouse was clean, though our daughter never did get hot water in the shower. There is a train ride that runs in a circle around the stone mountain area. The horn blasts all day long, but luckily not late at night. The biggest disappointment was that they say it's dog friendly on the web site, but dogs aren't allowed on most of the trails we tried to walk on, so we didn't get to see much of the park except by car. There are many activities, but they are not free. It's an expensive park for families. Bring your wallet!
GuideNo services, mostly level, fairly spaced spots.
ScoutUpdate: You need hunting, fishing, or land pass. No smoking or drinking allowed. Clean and cleared paths. All kinds of animals roaming about.
ScoutThis Campground is for military affiliated campers only. Navy Lake Site has camp sites as well as cabins available. The beach and swimming area on Lake Alatoona is nice.
RangerGenerally speaking nice place to spend some time with nature, or good place for a free overnight stay while traveling. Watch carefully for the turn off the main road as it is easy to miss. The road into the camp is a bit bumpy but not too bad. A word of advice watch very carefully for the turn into the campground, it is hard to see and on the left off the dirt road. If you miss it, you have to drive all the way out, it's a long bumpy drive back out to the main road with no place to turn around. The camp itself is heavily wooded with plenty of room to find a secluded spot, so if you rely on solar finding a spot to get sun may be a challenge. On our night there were a small number of others there, but by no means crowded. Overall we liked it and would consider it again without hesitation.
RangerThe campground is well kept, but close to a busy road and therefore noisy
