    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☝️

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    Stunning Cabin!

    Nicest state park cabin I’ve never stayed in! The furnishings were beautiful and the screened porch was amazing. I really appreciated that the bedding and towels were plush and extremely comfortable-very unlike most state parks or other rental cabins. It was also impeccably clean, AND the bathrooms had handcrafted local soaps!

    As a side note, my husband is a wheelchair user and this was the most accessible vacation rental we’ve ever encountered (and we travel a lot). The picnic table had a seat cutout, the fire pit and grill were on a level surface, and the kitchen sink was roll under! 10/10 thank you HLC for the thoughtful attention to accessibility.

    Lake Sinclair Campground

    Beautiful Campsites!

    Very spacious camp sites complete with a gravel square to set up your tent, plenty of trees to hang hammocks, a charcoal grill, fire pit, hanger for trash, picnic table, and beautiful views of the lake and surrounding forest. Restrooms and showere near most camp sites too. Will be returning!

    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.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Manicured but nice!

    This place is great if you still want some of the comforts of home. Water spouts are dropped around the sites and there is a bathhouse with showers and hot water accessible to all who camp there! The sites for tent camping are fairly close together-you can definitely see the next site because there aren’t a whole lot of trees but still far enough away to feel comfortable. The tent spots have gravel that is hard to get tent states into but also include a picnic table and a fire pit. Wood can be purchased for $5 from the host but you can also forage from the fallen trees on site. You may have to search around a bit but it worked well enough for my crew.

    The lake was so beautiful even in the middle of winter and was such a great spot to camp. Some hikes are close by but none are big for elevation changes or waterfalls or anything like that. Still lots of places to go and get off your campsite. Maybe the best part of this park is the disc golf! My crew enjoyed the course and spent a few good hours there!

    I would definitely come back and maybe try out one of the tent sites in the woods for a bit more privacy.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Walk in tent site 44

    Nice large gravel site. Water access but no swimming allowed at campground. Parking lot is a short walk to campsite. Bathhouse is at the parking area. Picnic table and fire pit at site.

    Wooded area but not secluded, limited shade on table. Will need a canopy for daytime table use. Neighbors lights will definitely be seen.

    Nice site but probably won’t stay at this site again.

    Dames Ferry State Park Campground

    Great Park!!

    We stayed in site #16. I gave it 4 stars just because of the road noise

    Pros:

    • Spectacular view of the lake
    • Clean bathhouse
    • Site is partially fenced and the pad is level.
    • Very friendly host
    • Not far from hiking trails in
    • Cell phone service (spotty in the campground. 4+ bars on the site with t-mobile)
    • Plenty of room for chairs, gear and a fence for the dogs
    • Firepit down by the lake
    • Easy to get kayaks into the water
    • 20 minutes from major retailers (Lowes, Walmart, etc.)

    Cons :

    • Not a lot of shade covering our site
    • Road noise as others have stated. Not a deal breaker. There are grooves on the shoulder of the road and when you drive over them it makes an annoying sound
    • Site is closer to others than I care to be
    • Quiet, but it's winter. I imagine it's more active in the summer
    • I'm not sure about the quality of the water. There is a GA Power plant close by and I read an article about possible contamination from the smoke stacks. Do your research.

    Overall we had a great experience and we would definitely come back again. Many of the sites are on the lake and I haven't seen one I would not stay in. They do have some construction going on near the dump station. Whatever they're doing they're quiet about it.

    Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

    You won't be disappointed

    Chattahoochee Bend state park is located about 30 minutes west of Newnan, GA. It's located on the Chattahoochee river and is a surprisingly large area. The park has a number of trails for hiking and mountain biking. There are cabins and tent camping sites separate from the rv sites. Rv camping area has large, level gravel sites with water, 30/50 amp electric and cable. Two dump stations help eliminate waiting in long lines when you're ready to hit the road again. Bath house looks like new and is well cared for. On site host is keeping the place in tip top shape. We'll definitely be returning to this park. Highly recommended. Only negative - no cell service while we were there.
