    Claystone Park Campground

    Very nice campground

    The campground is very nice. The sites are shaded and very clean. It is easily accessible and easy to get around in. The swimming beach is okay. It is a sand beach which is clean and easy to access the water, but I would not necessarily say the water is very clean. It is definitely better than many of the other lakes we have seen in Georgia, though! I would recommend staying here if you need a spot in central Georgia

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Really nice

    Nice huge state park with a lake and activities. There are two separate campground loops. We stayed in loop one, site #22. There are premium lake side sites, but we stayed in a normal site for $38/night, plus the $5 GA state parks entry fee, so $43 for a night- much too expensive but we needed to be near Atlanta for an early morning oil change the next day. Sites are nice and large, flat (we didn’t even need to get out our levels). They are arranged in a way that you don’t feel close to your neighbor. Free hot showers, firewood for $5/bundle, soda machines, dump station (sites have power and water). We stayed in early November and there were other campers here, but still plenty of availability. The campground was nice and quiet.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    The Best Spot For Beginners

    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.

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Peaceful and fun!

    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!

    Super for kids

    This campground is great if you have kids. The playground is centrally located. Trails are easy to get to and the falls are a nice sight.
