Panola Mountain State Park Campground
Everything as promised
We did an overnighter to check this out after doing a separate hike on the primary trails from the other side of the park in the morning.
Getting to the campsite was simple enough and it is the quoted 3/4 mile walk in. It was great to see some families utilizing the space. There is good cell reception (T-Mobile)
Very peaceful and even had the sounds of a vibrant coyote pack.

Busy Campground
Good lake access/sunset views/boat ramp. Tends to be quite a busy campground, so getting a prime spot in peak season can be difficult. Management noted to be on the stricter side.

Sweetwater Creek State Park Campground
A quiet oasis away from RVs
There's only limited camping here. There's several yurts and 5 walk-in tent sites. Yes, some of the reviews here are confusing this park with another. There's NO RV or TRAILER camping here.
The Yurts look awesome but do attract gaggles of families so be warned that if you're looking for a quiet get away then you may find yourself in the middle of a large family reunion that has no care for other campers.
The camping is isolated from the bustling 'core' of the park too. That's a nice change from other parks in the area. But you will also need to drive to the trailheads more than likely so take that into consideration when packing etc.
The tent sites run a little parallel to each other. I didn't go any look at the lake views from 5 at the back but expected it to be partial if that. Site 1 and 2 would be my first choice when I go back.
There is also full cell reception given its proximity to Atlanta.
Update: - Something else to know is that the visitor center called for 'check in' before we arrived and organized a wood drop off service.

Excellent place to stay
We stayed in site 185. While it was one of the more expensive sites in the park it was well worth it. The nice lady that answered the phone made the recommendation when I told her I’d like somewhere for my kids to run. They’re 5 and 3. We ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought.
The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean. They were up to date and comfortable to shower in, etc. campground was the cleanest we’d ever been to and extremely easy to navigate.
We were in town for Callaway Gardens pumpkin event. We will definitely stay here again. Couldn’t have been happier honestly.

Great place
The campsite's proximity to I-20 makes it super convenient to get to. It's a great spot for a quick trip or a longer stay, and the friendly seasonal campers really add to the community vibe. By the way, I just bought a camper with the help of radiant credit union customer service. Their customer service was so helpful in sorting out the financial side of things, which means I can now enjoy camping trips to places like Atlanta West Campground hassle-free!

Indian Springs State Park Campground
More than expected...unfortunate noise pollution
This is a little gem of a state park. Indian Springs State park has a lot to offer. The camp sites are the other side of the lake from the group and public shelters/picnic areas etc so you feel away from everything. The park offers a museum, trails, kayak rentals and more.
The multi-purpose hike connects to the Dauset Nature Center trails and is worth taking the extra mile or so, at least, to go visit the nature center. The hike is rated as quite hard on All Trails and similar apps but, in reality, is fine for most levels. I am recovering from a back injury and this was my first 5+ mile hike in years. It was more than manageable.
One downside of the parks location is that you are close to Jackson and neighboring towns. There were some noises (e.g. loud cars) that could be heard from our site at night. It wasn't constant or overly intrusive. The main complaint was that other humans in the park seemed to not have consideration for their camping neighbors and enjoyed driving golf carts around while playing music at full volume. That can happen anywhere though and maybe shouldn't be a 'negative' for the park.
The park is well kept, comfort stations are fine and staff very friendly and helpful.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground
Maiden Voyage
We just bought our first RV and it was a 22 foot Class C. We decided to stay close to home to try it out, learn everything on it in a forgiving place. Chattahoochee Bend was perfect. Drive through spot for our RV with 50AMP, 30AMP, water and dump service. The place is clean, quiet and in great shape! Electric bikes made it all the more fun, since the single road in, out and all about is quite hilly. Plenty of hiking trails!

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.

Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground
Pretty state campground
We had some flubs with this campground. We put the wrong address in our GPS resulting in us arriving too late to use the pool. Then we neglected to pick up our paperwork and had to drive back to the main building to get it and we drove past the campground host on duty so we didn’t get firewood. Our campsite was pretty: flat, spacious, shaded with trees, but it was frustrating to drive past the even prettier spots right on the lake and realize that’s what I should have booked!! Several people were out enjoying evening fishing as we drove past to our more woodsy loop.
We were here all of 12 hours - it was a nice stopover on our route further south. Really quiet and absolutely spotless bathhouse! I really was bummed about not getting to the pool (it was not open the next day) - we will come back!

Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground
Nice site, well maintained
I am getting back into camping for the first time in a very long time. Went to FDR State Park because it’s only about 30 minutes from home. Booking site 111 was easily done online. I arrived after the office had closed but my reservation sheet with instructions was left in a box on the door for me to pick up. Great park with nice lake for fishing, kayaking, paddle boating as well many hiking trails. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Visited Dowdell’s Knob which gives a fantastic view…no wonder it was FDR’s favorite picnicking site when visiting Warm Springs. I would definitely recommend and will be back, but next time will be spring or fall because summer was just too hot.

a hidden gem
We found this campsite while looking for an overnighter while traveling. We are on a motorcycle so we checked with Raven to make sure we would be good. The roads are gravel but well maintained. We had no problems getting in. The spots are well maintained, no power or water, so be prepared. For the price, you won't find a better campground.

Beautiful and Clean Campground
Stayed in the 500 series camping area prior to Memorial Day Weekend for two nights. The staff at check in were extremely friendly and helpful. All camping/RV spots in 500 series were well spaced, the ones nearest the lake seem a little more congested. Easy to navigate with my Solis, but a large Class A or trailer would be challenging. The bathroom/shower facilities were some of the cleanest, well kept I’ve ever seen. Hiked to Cascade Falls with my wife and our two dogs (2 miles in/2 miles out). Will definitely go back.

McKinney Campground
Great spot at the water
Our last two nights we stayed at the McKinney Campground in Atlanta , it was perfect for the travel back to Atlanta to deliver back the rental Van on our last day.
We got there early afternoon from Nashville and weather was great and warm. Since we had both chill and snow over the smoky mountains and lots of rain in Nashville ,we loved this place.
We had a spot right out to the water , it was big enough for us and we could see and say hello to those around us,but did not feel tight at all.
We had electrical and water hookup
The bathhouse it was two toilets and shower ,they were big ,but had to time it when going into it otherwise wait to get in there.
We enjoyed the BBQ grill and the fire pit and the view of the water ,The girls swum in the lake

Llamas on the Loose Farm
Loved the Llamas!
We absolutely loved all the animals on the farm. We camped right next to the lower field with a llamas, a pot belly pig and goats. It was so great to be able to look out the windows and see all of them. The pig (Wilbur) got to know us and always came by looking for a few acorns to be slipped through the fence. We absolutely loved the farm and Natalie and Brian were amazing hosts. They offered water for the camper and leveling blocks upon our arrival and had a nice campfire in the evening. We enjoyed shopping in the gift store and buying some last gifts and even pumpkins for halloween.
