Red Top Mountain State Park Campground accommodates pets in tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, yurts, and glamping options. Stone Mountain Park Campground similarly welcomes pets with on-leash policies throughout their campgrounds. Most pet-friendly sites around Milton feature standard amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to showers and restrooms. Campgrounds generally require pets to remain leashed when outside vehicles or camping units, with typical leash length restrictions of six feet. Sweetwater Campground and Bald Ridge Creek provide water access where many campers allow dogs to cool off during summer months. Sites with full hookups typically charge $30-50 per night, with potential additional pet fees depending on the campground. Several campers note that while some campgrounds advertise as pet-friendly, spaces between sites can be limited for pets requiring room to move.
Lake Lanier's Sawnee Campground offers multiple pet-friendly campsites with lake views where dogs can enjoy shoreline walks on leash. The campground features concrete pads, water and electric hookups at each site, with rangers enforcing pet policies to maintain a family-friendly environment. Several campgrounds in the region maintain beach areas where pets must remain outside designated swimming zones. Bald Ridge Creek provides lakeside camping with morning and afternoon shade at specific sites, ideal for summer camping with pets. Many camping areas connect to hiking trails suitable for leashed dogs, though owners should watch for wildlife encounters. Twin Lakes RV Park includes a mile-long trail behind the lake that accommodates leashed dogs. Campground hosts at most locations enforce pet waste cleanup rules, with failure to comply potentially resulting in fines or being asked to leave. Multiple reviewers note that Sawnee Campground provides an especially serene environment for overnight stays with pets.

GuideWe love camping at Fort Mountain. Its usually a good bit cooler due to the elevation, and the private wooded campsites make tent camping in Georgia’s summer heat much more enjoyable. Good hiking and things to do nearby.
RangerThis campground has a beautiful mountain view behind the lake. There is also a beautiful waterfall to hike to. They offer paddle boards, kayaks, peddleboats, and aqua cycles to rent for the lake. They also offer bike rentals and putt putt course. There is a general store in the visitor center. There are hiking trails for the extreme hikers too that go into the mountains on the Appalachian trail. The campsites are pretty close together, but we had a premier spot that was larger and a pull-through. The bathrooms were clean, but old and dated. This is one of the oldest campgrounds in the state. They offer cottages and cabins for rent. There was a dog parking loud constantly that was so annoying. We have dogs and many people camping there did, but our dogs don’t bark constantly. I would say this isn’t the campgrounds fault, but this irresponsible pet owner was literally between two campground hosts. Had it continued late at night past 10pm we would have had to call someone. It’s hard to relax by the fire with a dog barking constantly. The campground needs to add more signage. People are driving around looking lost. Here’s the problem ... if you have an RV or camper and park in the RV spaces when you pull out on the far end to the right you cannot see the directional signs. We pulled to the right and it was a dead end at the cottages. It was very stressful trying to the turn around hauling a camper. People in the cottages told us we weren’t the only ones to pull down there and have to turn around. Lots of cars were turning around down there, but with a camper it’s a nightmare. I paid extra for a pullthrough only to deal with that nonsense at the start. I suggest adding a sign at the far right exit of parking lot that has directions. Add another sign that says “Cabins only - Dead End”. If our camper had been an inch longer we couldn’t have turned around. Not impressed by the swimming area at the beach.
GuideCampground is next to SR 411. Excellent facilities and staff. We stayed for 3 days and had an enjoyable time. Fished in the pond played corn hole. Ran our dogs every day at the dog park. Will definitely head up there again
ScoutThis Campground is amazing. The woman in the office is so nice and very helpful. They have workers escort you to your site to make sure everything is OK. The man who escorted us was very nice, and made sure we knew where everything was (even after being told at the office). I loved that. The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, ect). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!
TravelerGreat for an overnight stop while traveling.
Not so great for a fun weekend.
No firepits or tables at many of the sites.
Bathroom seriously dated.
Dog park looked clean, if small. Playground had some "old school" equipment great for older kids.
ScoutThis is a great place to camp, we enjoy staying here they also have some tent sites, wifi is a bit spotty which is to be expected since everyone is trying to use it so either use your hotspot or a mobile internet provider and you will be fine, dog park was well kept, playground has plenty of options for the little ones, the splash pad was a hit for our little ones as they enjoyed it, check in was a breeze as the office folks are very informative as to the surrounding place’s you can visit all really at a relatively short drive…your close to your neighbor but not to close “if that makes since”….will definitely stay here again
GuideLived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.
GuideAwesome hiking. Extremely pet friendly, lakeside campsite
GuideSeveral options available. RV hook ups, camp grounds, and yurt rentals. I did not rent a yurt but have heard good things from friends who have. Very clean camp grounds, if you don't mind a familes close by. Can set up next to the lake. Pet friendly and several children and families around. Ton of activities around stone mountain park.
Milton sits near the foothills of North Georgia with average summer temperatures reaching the high 80s and mild winters rarely below freezing. The area's proximity to Lake Lanier and Lake Allatoona provides campers with access to water recreation from March through October. Campgrounds in this region range from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV sites with concrete pads.
Hiking at Amicalola Falls: Explore Georgia's tallest waterfall at Amicalola Falls State Park, which features a challenging trail system. "Besides camping this park also accesses Len Foote Hike Inn one of Georgia's only backcountry lodges," notes reviewer Fain H.
Boat access: Many sites at Victoria Campground provide direct water access. "This place is well conserved. Lots of sites are waterfront or has access to the lake, that is a plus. The lake area is tranquil and quiet," according to Adriana C., who appreciated the easy lake access.
Explore Stone Mountain: Just 30 miles from Milton, Stone Mountain offers unique geological features. "There are tons of things to do from Golf, hiking, zoo, laser show, food and you can hike the mountain or take a ride to the top. There are bike trails and plenty of entertainment for all," explains Holly B.
Fishing options: The region's lakes offer varied fishing opportunities. As one camper at McKinney Campground noted, "We love to fish and we always catch several kinds but the crappie are so delicious."
Lakeside views: Bald Ridge Creek provides premium water access and views. "This is the best campground on Lake Lanier. Nearly every site is on the Lake, with access to the water. The sites are very well maintained," shares reviewer Pam.

Camper community: Dog friendly campgrounds near Milton often have welcoming atmospheres. One camper at Red Top Mountain State Park shared: "This is close enough to metro to make for a quick getaway. 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."
Clean facilities: Many reviewers mention well-maintained bathhouses. "The bathhouse was an uphill hike probably 300 ft away but was modern and clean with hot showers and good water pressure."
Access restrictions: Some campgrounds enforce strict gate policies. At Shady Grove Campground, "The gate worker was super intense! Wanted to know every detail of everyone in our party, and my husband came late and I have to give notice for him to join us (the campground is gated)."
Alcohol policies: Rules vary significantly between campgrounds. "Shady Grove is a wonderful gem of a campground. It is owned and run by Forsyth County and is beautifully maintained... There is a strict no alcohol policy in the campground and it is made very clear by signage in the park," explains Chris H.
