Best Cabin Camping near Oakwood, GA

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Oakwood, Georgia provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Don Carter State Park Campground in Gainesville offers pet-friendly cabins with electricity, heating, and basic kitchen facilities. Fort Yargo State Park in Winder features cabins with screened porches, full kitchens, and private bathrooms. Amicalola Falls State Park provides fourteen well-equipped cabins in two different areas of the park, with five located near Reflection Pond and nine situated below the campground. Stone Mountain Park Campground includes cabins with decks, grills, and picnic tables. "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," notes one visitor about their state park cabin experience.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. Most state park cabins sleep 4-8 people, with bedroom configurations typically including one double bed and additional sleeping arrangements on futons or bunk beds. Tiny Cabin offers a more intimate setting for couples or solo travelers, while larger family cabins at Unicoi State Park & Lodge can accommodate bigger groups. Many cabins are pet-friendly, though additional fees may apply. Accessibility features are available at select locations, with one reviewer noting their cabin was "the most accessible vacation rental we've ever encountered. The picnic table had a seat cutout, the fire pit and grill were on a level surface, and the kitchen sink was roll under!" Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer months and fall color season when occupancy rates are highest.

Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As one Bald Mountain Camping Resort visitor noted, "You must bring ALL your own linens (towels, bedding, and so forth)." Kitchen supplies vary significantly between properties, with state park cabins typically offering more complete setups including refrigerators, stoves, and basic cookware. Private cabins may have more limited cooking facilities, often just microwaves or outdoor grills. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, though prices vary. General stores at Vogel State Park, Amicalola Falls, and Stone Mountain provide basic groceries and camping supplies. For more extensive shopping, the towns of Gainesville, Buford, and Winder offer full-service grocery stores within a short drive of most cabin locations.

    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.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Has it all

    RV/tent camping and cabin rentals. Campsites had wifi and pretty good tv signal. There's also a lodge/hotel on site with a restaurant, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley below. Camping sites are spaced well apart with electric, water and fire rings. The campgrounds also feature a bathhouse and laundry.

    Begin your Appalachian Trail journey here with 604 steps to the top of a beautiful waterfall.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Relaxation in The Woods

    Fort Yargo is in the Winder Ga area and is close to Helen, Jefferson, Athens and Atlanta. Entering the campground is a nice paved road and leads to tent camping, cabins, yurts and RV sites.

    Very clean park and has Historical area, playground, tennis court, bike and hike trails. Not to mention beach and boating area.

    Picnics, camping, boating biking and camping or just day use areas. Pet friendly and all around great park.

    There is a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there.

    Gread for the Georgia Bulldog crowd as its less then 30 minutes!

    I recommend this park highly.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    Beautiful State Park with roomy shaded sites, many of which are creekside. A large lake for fishing and swimming is at the front of the park and it offers canoe and paddle boat rentals. Lots to do on-site such as walking trails, hiking and fishing, playgrounds and a Conservation Corps museum. Trahlyta Falls is an easy walking path, and the park also offers nice cabin rentals. There are no sewer hook-up, but it does have an easy access dump station.

    Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

    First time visiting & it won’t be our last

    We’ve been wanting to camp here for a while, but every time we decided to go, it’s been all booked up.... that might have been our fault though, because we like to plan last min trips. 🙂 This time we actually planned it out a few weeks in advance and got a nice spot.

    I really liked the booking process, because it shows you exactly what spot is available and it even shows you a pic of the site you’ll be getting. Our site was only $35 a night + a $5 parking pass.

    The campground has a lot to offer! It has a boat access point, fishing, walking and biking trails, a small putt putt course, playground area for the kids and best of all it’s pet friendly! I can’t go without saying the employees are so friendly and helpful!

    Campsite wise, it has electric, water, cable, a huge picnic table & a grill/fire pit. The only negative was it wasn’t a full hookup. 😔Something else that I really loved was all of the huge natural rocks located all throughout the campground. Each campsite seemed to have their own collection of rocks and it really added to the experience. Another plus is that it has a dump station right at the exit, so on your way out you can take care of your last minute steps to finish up your camping experience. 😁

    If you’re in the area I would highly recommend this campground! You can’t go wrong!

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful hiking, large campsites

    We enjoyed a challenging 11-mile hike up and over 3 mountains from trail heads inside the park. There are shorter hikes that start here as well. My 9-year old loved exploring the mushrooms and nature growing in the very wooded campsites. The campsites are large with driveways, 1-2 tent pads, picnic table, fire ring and lantern poles at each site. The campground was very busy and you could see your neighbors around you. But this also means there are more conveniences like running water and hot showers. The campground also has a mini-gold course, lake and gift shop. There were lots of kids riding bikes and dogs are allowed, so while this so not a serene site, it's definitely great for families and groups that want to hang out!

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Great Motorcycle Only campground

    Two Wheels of Suchess campground is one of the best motorcycle campgrounds I've stayed at. Open tent areas, trees for hammock camping, cabins and a bunk house are also available. Meals are available Friday night through Sunday morning, as well as breakfast on Monday morning. Fire wood and ice available 24 hours. The paved parking lot in front of the main lodge is for motorcycles only, however there is a gravel parking lot for 4 wheel vehicles. The campground and cabin areas are accessable via a bridge that is purposely not wide enough for a car to cross, but Motorcycles an trikes can. The facilities are kept in top-notch shape. Showers were spotless the 4 days I spent there. Lots of awesome roads in the area available to ride. Inside the lodge is the restaurant and an area to lounge with a fire place, big screen TV, couch, recliners and hundreds of motorcycle magazines to read. A stream runs through part of the tent camping area and next to the parking lot by the lodge.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Perfect for Families & Groups

    While it’s often a bit of a shock to come to such a developed and highly manicured campground after having spent some time in the woods without all the amenities, it sure was nice to get a hot shower in a heated bathroom! Vogel State Park was perfectly situated along Hwy 19 in the north Georgia mountains for an easy spot for the night.

    In early March, this state park was extremely quiet, especially in the loop designed specifically for tents, vans, and small rigs like ours. Each site has been lined with fresh gravel, a firepit, picnic table, utility pole, electricity and water. A few of the sites are pull-through and some are conjoined with another site, making it a perfect place for families/groups wanting to have close-by sites. Throughout the park, there are plenty of sites for large RV’s, as well as some walk-in sites for tents.

    The bathrooms are clean, with wheelchair accessibility in one shower and toilet, but the one near our site doesn’t have a wheelchair ramp to the bathroom itself. 

    In addition to the campsites, this park offers a small lake, hiking trails, playgrounds, miniature golf, and some modern, fully-equipped cabins complete with a small deck, grill, and picnic table.  The closest town is Blairsville, GA, about a 10 mile drive with most of the basics you need.


Guide to Oakwood

Camping cabins near Oakwood, Georgia offer woodland retreats at elevations ranging from 1,100 to 2,500 feet above sea level. Most cabin rental sites experience moderate temperatures, with summer averages around 85°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 30°F. Several state parks maintain cabin properties with varying proximity to water features, with sites at Lake Lanier offering direct water access while mountain locations feature creek-side settings.

What to do

Fishing access: 1/4 mile walk: Primitive tent campers at Don Carter State Park can enjoy waterfront sites with fishing opportunities. "The tent sights are amazing, bring a cart because it's a 1/4 mile walk, the sights are super clean and easy access," notes Chad S. about the Don Carter State Park Campground.

Waterfall hikes: 730-foot cascade: Amicalola Falls State Park features Georgia's tallest waterfall with stair access from top to bottom. "This 730ft cascading waterfall is accessible by stairs and bridge from top to bottom. It's proximity to Atlanta can cause the area around the falls to fill up quick so the earlier or colder the better," according to Fain H. at Amicalola Falls State Park Camping.

Lake recreation: beach and boats: Fort Yargo offers water activities including swimming at a beach area. "Great swimming and hiking," Barbara C. mentions about the park, while another visitor details, "There is a playground and a beach area, which was not open when we were there."

What campers like

Private waterfront sites: Walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo State Park provide seclusion near the water. "If you're like me and appreciate a bit of privacy when camping, the walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo are the place to go. Just a short 1-2 minutes walk from your car and bathrooms, but you feel much more secluded than the campsites in the regular campground. The 12 walk-in sites are waterfront to the lake- perfect for kayaking or paddle boarding," shares Amalia K. at Fort Yargo State Park Campground.

Multi-activity parks: Stone Mountain combines camping with extensive recreation options. "The campground offers everything you would ever need. 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," Holly B. explains about Stone Mountain Park Campground.

Off-peak solitude: Visiting outside peak times provides a different experience at Don Carter State Park. "I went to Don Carter mid week after a holiday and the place was pretty empty. While usually that would be a bit weird this park made it one of the most amazing feelings on earth... I pulled in late afternoon, deer were grazing in the primitive camp zones... I would for sure suggest weekday stay here!!"

What you should know

Limited store access: Some parks have limited shopping options nearby. "As in most state parks, clean and friendly, restrooms and showers clean. Only bad thing is no close by stores make sure you have everything or be ready for a little trip to get it!" mentions Jim R. about Don Carter.

Site positioning considerations: Red Top Mountain sites vary in their position relative to the water. "Many sites are high above the water," explains Connie C. about Red Top Mountain State Park Campground. The reviewer adds, "Be sure to check the map carefully for terrain."

Road conditions: Some parks have challenging access roads. "Nice state park with good amenities. Loved the hike and waterfalls. Roads are extremely steep getting to the campground," Kevin B. cautions about Amicalola Falls State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Don Carter State Park provides chances to see native animals. "Do some animal watching or photography. From 6 in the evening and beyond you will find deer grazing in late summer and early fall, also raccoons and other small animals can be spotted roaming in some of the open areas," advises Crystal C.

Educational programs: Some parks offer ranger-led activities. "We went to a ranger program on raptors on Saturday which was interesting," mentions Joel R. about Don Carter State Park programming.

Playground access: Vogel State Park features multiple play areas for children. "Two separate children's playgrounds exist, not too far from one another. One near a small kids ball field...the other near a very nice volleyball court, permanent corn hole pit and state of the art outdoor exercise machine area," notes Dave V. from Vogel State Park Campground.

Tips for RVers

Site surface considerations: Different parks offer varying parking surfaces. "They classify them as RV sites, but they are parking lots. They have water and electric, and a dump station," explains Joel R. about Don Carter's paved sites, while another visitor notes these sites can get extremely hot in summer due to the asphalt.

Site width challenges: Some campgrounds have tight spacing between sites. "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in. Sites were very narrow," warns Brock D. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
