Best Campgrounds near Monticello, GA

Perfect time and very quiet this time of the year

After reading previous review I can say they do have showers and bathrooms. A little away from where you park but not too far. Great park, nice sites, full hookups. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. They also have a laundry facility.

I recently got back into camping and, now engaged, decided to go with my fiancée. After spending two nights and three days at Stone Mountain Park, I can confidently say it's one of the best places for first-time campers. We chose the Primitive Tent option and appreciated the spaciousness of each site. Originally booked for spot 188, we noticed 200 was open and seamlessly switched for $14.45—highly recommended for its stunning view. However, it offers less space, with campsites closer together, and we couldn't fully secure one of our tent stakes (So if you go for the best view get ready to make a few sacrifices). Conveniently, all campsites are near the bathroom and showers, making accessibility easy.

My fiancé and I went tent camping here this past weekend. The bathrooms were walkable and clean! The lady’s bathroom had some cute hanging plants as well as a heater since it’s cold out.

The area we were had a great view of the mountain. Even with other campers the place felt peaceful.

We were by the lake, which was incredibly nice. Due to the time of year there were many geese, which was quite fun. But they sure were noisy that first night!

Overall it was very nice for us to unwind and enjoy our time together.

The park offers many more activities than we participated in! The employees were very friendly and kind!

Perfect for tent camping. Must have a hunting or fishing license or a land use pass.

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.

This is my second time here, first was a scouting trip and stayed only a few days.  This trip I brought my family and stayed 9 days.  Autumn is beautiful but we were probably a week or two early for the full color change of the trees.  The weather was a little warm for Oct./Nov. but we're from Florida and anything cooler and less humid is welcome.The trails have been maintained and new markers put in place.  Bath houses were clean and tidy and the camp crew kept everything neat , they even blew the leaves off of the road every morning.  Kudos to Georgia Power for keeping such a great campground with large spaces between campers and still remaining cozy.

While the camp hosts were very nice and the bathrooms were clean, that’s where the good ends. The sites are on top of each other in the inner loop and very much out of level. There is no place to dump trash in the campground. The only places were at the boat ramp and beach. Worst of all was the dump station was overflowing and could not be used when we were leaving.

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.

Tons of things to do train rides, gondola ride to the top, hiking and fireworks. Stayed in a safari tent a little worn down with duck tape on the screen. However, clean bathroom/showers and fun pool. A couple of crazy squirrels visit us every morning.

On my way back from Florida to the NC mountains, I spent a night at the KOA campground on Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. I was in a full hook-up pull-through site#44. As you can see from the photos, the campground is right on the lake and has many campsites. The campground staff was accommodating during check-in and when getting to my site. However, the campground itself is pretty worn. Roads are poor. Decking at sites needs repair. At $108.90, for one night, there is little reinvestment in the campground grounds and facilities. The local area is proliferating with many upscale homes and businesses. I expected a more updated set of facilities. Site#44 has a lake view, which is nice, but it is one of 3 sites butted up end to end on the side of the road, with the site to my left currently unusable with some repair work going on. The site has a sizeable two-tier deck, grill, and firepit, but it had not been cleaned off in some time, with chairs and tree debris strewn around. I would skip this campground if I were back in the area.

I was debating on whether or not to leave this stellar review, knowing that once the word was out, the crowds would come.  This park operated by Georgia power and light is one of the nicest cleanest and well cared for parks. I’ve been in.  Most state parks could take a lesson from the operators of these parks.  First off the RV sites are large and spaced out enough so that your neighbors are not in your backyard.  Plenty of trees and Flora  To keep the park looking natural.  If you like trails, there is an abundance and some are multi use so bring your mountain bike..  They have some black diamond mountain bike trails as well for the more experienced.  Some of the walking trails have  signs along them for historical markers, or just descriptions of the local flora and fauna.  All of the roads are paved and access for my 30 foot RV were easily negotiated.,  The lake is very large and welcomes boaters of any kind, including jet skis.  There is a small swimming beach, of course no dogs allowed but if you walk around the edge of the lake, you can find plenty of spots to take a splash with your pup..  joe is the park host along with his wife and I’ve been there for 11 years super nice fellow very accommodating. The showers and restroom facilities are the cleanest I’ve ever experienced, hot water was abundant. The only thing that may be lacking or hooks to hang your towels.. If I could give it 10 stars, I would,

Clean bathroom, very nice employees

Great little place to camp. Beautiful lake. Bathrooms and showers are on site.
