Best Cabin Camping near Marietta, GA

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Marietta, Georgia provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Red Top Mountain State Park Campground in Acworth offers cabins with electricity, running water, and basic furnishings. Amicalola Falls State Park features 14 well-equipped rental cabins in two different areas of the park, with five cabins located near Reflection Pond and nine positioned just below the campground. According to one visitor, "There's also a lodge/hotel on site with a restaurant, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley below." Stone Mountain Park Campground provides cabin accommodations with private decks, grills with attached propane tanks, and picnic tables. Most cabins in the region include heating and air conditioning systems, making them suitable for year-round stays.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. Pet-friendly cabins can be found at several locations including Stone Mountain Park, which one reviewer described as "extremely pet friendly." Chattahoochee Bend State Park maintains four cabins with running water and electricity that are particularly popular with families. Advanced reservations are essential, especially during summer months and holidays when cabins frequently sell out. Under the Hemlock Campground offers "a few rental cabins" in a location that's "less than a mile from Amicalola Falls," providing a quieter alternative to staying within the state park itself. Marina Resort at Allatoona Landing provides lakeside cabin options with access to boat ramps and water activities.

Most cabin rentals include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering full kitchens while others provide only basic refrigerators and microwaves. Fire rings or grills are common outdoor cooking options. On-site camp stores at locations like Stone Mountain Park and Amicalola Falls State Park stock essential items and firewood. Fort Yargo State Park has "a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there." Visitors staying in more remote cabins should plan to bring groceries and supplies, as options may be limited once at the campground. Many cabins include outdoor seating areas, fire pits, and access to shared bathhouse facilities with showers.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Relaxation in The Woods

    Fort Yargo is in the Winder Ga area and is close to Helen, Jefferson, Athens and Atlanta. Entering the campground is a nice paved road and leads to tent camping, cabins, yurts and RV sites.

    Very clean park and has Historical area, playground, tennis court, bike and hike trails. Not to mention beach and boating area.

    Picnics, camping, boating biking and camping or just day use areas. Pet friendly and all around great park.

    There is a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there.

    Gread for the Georgia Bulldog crowd as its less then 30 minutes!

    I recommend this park highly.

    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!

    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.

    Calhoun A-OK Campground

    Peaceful Campground Named Cedar Creek

    This campground has good shade and pretty surroundings.

    There is a dog playground, horseshoes, salt water pool, laundry, and A/C bathrooms. Our ate did not have sewer but there is a dump station. Pretty little spots throughout the campground. Very little traffic noise from highway and there is a campground peacock that can be heard.

    Only real downsides for us was that our campsite didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring. Would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    It all starts here...

    Ranger Review: Primus Micron Lantern - Steel Mesh at Amicalola Falls State Park

    Campground: Amicalola Falls State Park, GA

    "It" all doesn't start here...but for those desiring to begin the AT from the Southern Terminus Acces Trail it sure does. The Approach trail is 8.3 miles to Springer Mountain from the lower Amicalola State Park parking lot. So there is more history and lore here than meets the eye. This in and of itself makes this State Park unique...but there is much more.

    If you enjoy hiking, even the least little bit, Amicalola State Park is for you. http://gastateparks.org/AmicalolaFalls If you visit their website it sends you to Adventure Lodges, which then reveals all this State Park has to offer. Zip Line, Team Building Course, Fitness Trail, The Rock Climbing Wall, Birds of Prey, Survivalist Camp, campground, cabins, and a beautiful mountaintop Lodge.

    The Lodge is nice...very nice. Front desk personnel are very friendly and helpful, as is the ground crew (they always know the best places to go and how to get there). The entire back of the Lodge has long mountain views and faces West, so you can enjoy gorgeous sunsets from your room, the dining area, or an outside deck. We did not stay at the lodge, so I cannot comment on the rooms, but it appeared full from the parking lot.

    Even if you registered for your campsite online, you still go to the front desk of the Lodge to register and get your Park tag and site tag. At the time of this writing, I paid $30 which included a $5 Park fee.

    Just so you are aware, the road leading up the hill to the campground is a 25% incline. It's steep. So if you are bringing your bicycles and ride down the hill...keep it mind the climb back up. In fact, there is little flat terrain in this entire park. All foot trails go up or down...with the exception of one trail leading from a parking lot to the middle of Amicalola Falls (which is where most photos are taken). Interesting sidenote: that trail to the middle of the falls is made entirely from recycled tires...and I believe it is ADA accessible.

    There are several rental cabins (14 total) in two different areas. Five cabins on the lower entrance level, just below Reflection Pond and across from picnic pavilions and playgrounds. Nine cabins are on a roadway just below the campground. All the cabins appeared large and well-equipped.

    The campground has 24 sites...17 sites along the outside of the loop and 7 sites on the inside of the loop. The showerhouse/restrooms/laundry is to the right upon entering the loop, just past the host site (which was vacant during our visit). Absent a host, may have accounted for the unkept restroom and filthy showers (2 per gender). A small picnic shelter is located in the center of the loop, and there is basketball hoop oddly placed between two handicap parking spots. Horseshoe pits are between the basketball hoop and the picnic shelter.

    Staying at site 15 afforded us some privacy, as the campground was half full on a Tuesday night. The campground sites have been masterful carved out of the mountain...and are pretty near level. Each site has a parking pad, large enough for a RV/Camper...a picnic table, lantern post, a fire ring w/grate and a separate charcoal grill...a water spigot, electrical box and a tent pad. Well thought out. The parking pad and picnic/grill area was a fine gravel chip and the tent pad was a fine pea gravel. Because the sites are hewn out of the mountain, 3/4 of the site is surrounded by timber retention walls with a timber fence around the top...masterfully done, I might add.

    When choosing a site online...google earth the campground...this will give you a pretty good idea of the layout. Keep in mind the flow of the roadway, headlights shine directly into sites like 5 and 6 as people drive through. The campground was pretty quiet during the day and graveyard quiet (with the exception of owls hooting) and black as ink at night. Sleeping without a rainfly rewarded us with wonderful stargazing.

    If you are ambitious and enjoy vertical hiking, the Falls trail will meet your needs. However, if you want to enjoy the Falls with half the effort...simply drive to the three different parking areas with minimal walking to get plenty of photos. The Falls were beautiful in late August, but I imagine with spring rains it is more impressive.

    A great campground to visit and explore!

    Product Review: Primus Micron Lantern - Steel Mesh

    As a product reviewer for theDyrt.com, on occasion I am given products to test and evaluate...such is the case with the Primus Micron Lantern - (Steel Mesh). https://primus.us/products/micron-lantern-steel-mesh

    Primus actually makes five different lanterns, three burn butane and two are battery operated.

    I have owned and still own several large camp lanterns of various brand and fuel source...and back in the 80's owned what was, at the time, considered a small backpacking one mantle lantern...but none compare to the miniscule size of the Primus Micron Lantern.

    You can get the Micron Lantern in two models, one with frosted glass and this one with stainless steel mesh. Not being known as particularly gentle, I chose the Steel Mesh version. Weighing in at a diminutive 4.4 oz, it weighs nothing in your pack.

    I preferred the robust stainless steel mesh version over the frosted glass globe version. There are great reviews on the frosted glass globe version, slightlty heavier at 6 oz, yet puts out more lumens...but I would certainly be too rough for glass. Even though the steel mesh version of the Micron Lantern is more durable and can take a beating...the mantle is what can suffer. With that in mind, always carry a couple spares.

    Speaking of the mantles...you need to purchase additonal "two hole" or "two opening" mantles, which I found at a local big box store, and keep them as insurance. Tear a burned mantle, and its worthless...you must remove the fragments and put a fresh one on.

    I was pretty impresse with the durability of the Micron Lantern-Steel Mesh. It stuffed nicely into my backpack, and took as much space as a rolled pair of socks. I couldn't see it happening, but even if you could crush the stainless steel mesh housing...you can pick up a new one directly off Primus' site for a tad more than a Franklin.

    I will encourage you to read the provided instructions for operation and set up. Without doing so, you may fumble around a bit and waste time. After following the instructions, it is quite simple and straightforward.

    You will notice there is a conveniently, handy integrated piezo electric " Easy Trigger Ignition"...and it couldn't be any easier.

    Permit me to walk you through set up, if you will. I found it easier to attach it to an isobutane cannister to make it more stable and stand on its own. After attaching it to the cannister, observe that at the bottom rim of the steel mesh "globe" there are two symbols stamped into the metal...one of a closed lock and one of an open lock. You will also observe a small tab on the steel mesh...that is your position indicator, depending which symbol it is behind. The bottom rim with the stamped lock symbols is actually part of the base. I am assuming that the lantern has either just been pulled from the box or has not been operating...because you would be incredibly unwise to touch the steel mesh anytime soon after its operation. A trip to the hospital would be high on the list with third degree burns.

    By holding the base, twist the steel mesh globe in the direction of the unlock symbol and pull straight off...simple. You'll notice the "locking" cutouts on the rim. It is possible when reassembling the steel mesh globe back to the base to put the marking tab on the opposite side, thus foiling your indication if its locked or unlocked...though it'll still function that way.

    Once the steel mesh is off, take your time to slide the larger of the two mantile openings over the fuel post. You will have to use care in weaving the piezo electric starter wire through one of the small holes in the side of the mantle. If I could do it easily, you can too. There is a small rim on the fuel post for the bottom of the mantle to fit snuggly on...as there is one for the top mantle opening. Once into place, pull the sides of the mantle outward to make it as round as possible. Now you are ready to light the mantle and "burn it down." This may sound counterintuitive, if you have not done this before, but its just how its done. With a sturdy lighter, keep the flame on the mantle until it burns completely and uniformily white...and when 99% done, open the fuel valve which will ignite the mantle and light your world. Allow it to burn for a few minutes and then shut off the fuel. Reattach the steel mesh globe (properly) and twist it to the lock position. Done!

    Now you can turn on your fuel valve, "trigger" the piezo electric ignition and Bingo!..you have light. It is adjustable, if you want it lower for some abiance. While there are varying reviews over the lumens and wattage the Micron Lantern puts out, it appeared to me to be a little brighter than a 70 watt bulb in total darkness.

    The Primus Micron Lantern - Steel Mesh is a lightweight and packable light...worthy for both your backpacking adventures or your campground visits!


Guide to Marietta

Cabin camping options near Marietta, Georgia provide year-round accommodations ranging from rustic to premium amenities. Located in the Piedmont region with elevations around 1,000 feet, these cabin rentals experience mild spring and fall weather, hot summers with occasional afternoon thunderstorms, and relatively mild winters with occasional freezing temperatures. Weather conditions vary significantly between lake valley locations and higher elevation mountain cabins.

What to do

Lake activities at Allatoona: Red Top Mountain State Park Campground offers direct lake access for fishing, swimming and boating. According to a reviewer, "Lake Allatoona is large. There are plenty of opportunities to hike, fish and boat."

Mountain hiking trails: Amicalola Falls State Park Camping features scenic trails of varying difficulty. "This 730ft cascading waterfall is accessible by stairs and bridge from top to bottom. It's proximity to Atlanta can cause the area around the falls to fill up quick so the earlier or colder the better," notes one visitor.

Wildlife viewing: Many cabins offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. One camper at Fort Yargo State Park Campground mentioned, "Deer roaming everywhere. Mountain bike trails and hiking trails inside park."

What campers like

Lake views: Stone Mountain Park Campground offers scenic water views from certain cabin sites. A visitor mentioned, "We had a nice, spacious campsite with a nice picnic table and partial view of the lake even though we didn't have 'lake view' site."

Privacy options: Some cabin locations offer more seclusion than others. At Fort Yargo State Park, "If you're like me and appreciate a bit of privacy when camping, the walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo are the place to go. Just a short 1-2 minutes walk from your car and bathrooms, but you feel much more secluded than the campsites in the regular campground."

Clean facilities: Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing receives positive feedback for maintenance. "The bathrooms were pretty amazing compared to the last campground we were at which was also on alatoona lake as well," reports a recent visitor.

What you should know

Noise considerations: Some cabins experience periodic noise disruptions. At Red Top Mountain, a visitor cautioned, "This park is about 30-40 minutes outside of Atlanta right off of I-75. If you are in a tent... you will hear I-75 traffic all night... the drone of the highway will remind you. There is a train that blows its whistle that will wake you up 3 times each night."

Reservation timing: Holiday Harbor Marina & Resort and other popular locations require advance planning. High demand periods include summer weekends, holidays, and fall color season.

Elevation challenges: Winding Waters RV Resort and other properties may have challenging terrain. One visitor noted, "We booked one of their cheaper sites, a classic pull-thru site. To say the least, it was the TIGHTEST pull thru site we have ever booked. We have never had to adjust and shimmy around in a pull thru site before."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Red Top Mountain offers specific family-oriented programs. "This isnt for backpackers but for camping with your family, its good. They have water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly," reports a recent visitor.

Safe swimming options: Fort Yargo State Park Campground provides designated swimming areas. The park has "a 260-acre lake offers swimming, boating, paddling, and fishing" according to reviews.

Cabin location selection: Consider proximity to facilities when booking with children. One Marina Resort visitor advised, "The campground is really nice as well as the employees, we had a great time!"

Tips from RVers

Site selection guidance: For those with larger RVs, check site specifications carefully. At Red Top Mountain, "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in. Sites were very narrow."

Utilities and hookups: Verify which cabin sites offer full versus partial hookups. Winding Waters provides "lots of investment in 5G WiFi towers, but WiFi is not terribly good. I opted to pull out my StarLink for a better, high bandwidth connection."

Seasonal considerations: Winter visitors should check road conditions. A Fort Yargo visitor mentioned, "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."
