    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several state parks with camping facilities surround Roswell, Georgia, with Red Top Mountain State Park Campground standing out for its shaded sites next to Lake Allatoona. Don Carter State Park Campground works well for families, with larger campsites and hiking trails that aren't too challenging for kids. North of Roswell, Vogel State Park Campground sits in the mountains with good trail access and cooler temperatures than the city. Most campers head to these parks during spring and fall when Georgia weather hits the sweet spot – not too hot or cold for outdoor activities. Summer brings heat and humidity that can make camping uncomfortable without proper shade and plenty of water. Winter camping is doable but requires warm gear for nighttime temperatures that often drop below freezing. Roads to most campgrounds stay in good condition year-round, though some backcountry routes might get muddy after rain. It's worth calling ahead during wet weather to check access. The campgrounds typically have clean bathrooms and designated picnic spots with tables and grills. Fishing is particularly good at Red Top Mountain, where bass and catfish are common catches from the lake shore. History buffs might want to add Memorial State Park to their itinerary for its historical exhibits and ranger programs about the area's past. Roswell's location puts campers within reach of both quick overnight trips and longer camping vacations at various price points.

      411 River Rest Campground

      A Summer Go-To for Young Families!

      This is an annual MUST for us. So many amenities — playground, gaga ball, ping pong, splash pad & pool, fishing pond, cornhole, basketball, mining, ice cream at the camp office. Agree with others that their golf cart delivery of firewood & pizza is the the cherry on top!

      We love getting site 43. Our kids are 4 & 5 but we can comfortably see them across the way at the playground while we rest at our site or prep for the next meal. So much love for this place and the memories we have made here!!

      Skeenah Creek Campground & Mill

      Quiet, Peaceful, Welcoming

      We had a wonderful stay at Skeenah Creek Campground. We stayed for three nights with our F250 and 30 ft toy hauler, and from the moment we booked until checkout, the experience was excellent.

      The drive through the Appalachian mountains is beautiful but definitely winding. The campground sent us detailed directions before our trip which helped us plan the best route for our rig. On the day we arrived we received a text letting us know they were expecting us along with a phone number in case we needed anything along the way.

      Brian and Mark were incredibly welcoming and made themselves available throughout our stay if we had any questions or needed assistance.

      The campground itself is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized. Everything is clearly marked. We especially appreciated the shaded community recreation area with ceiling fans, games and activities. It was the perfect place for our family to cool off during the hottest part of the day.

      One of our favorite moments was when Mark shared fresh tomatoes from the campground garden. Our toddler absolutely loves tomatoes, so it was such a thoughtful and memorable gesture.

      Bolding Mill

      Site 27

      This is our favorite lake Lanier campground. Our family loves to visit here a few times a year. I wish they would build the pier back and put some tlc into the bathrooms. Advice, don’t plan to arrive at closing. You’ll be greeted rudely by the gate house workers. I missed their call due to it being “potential spam” and well trying to get on the road. If you’re going to arrive after 6:30 call ahead bc I guess there’s not an after hours come through the gate and finish checking in the next day option. It’s 2026. Do you really need me to show ID and harass me for my tag number? This can all be uploaded online, right? Text? The check in for the army corp of engineer sites could use improvement. Then perhaps you wouldn’t have to employee as many people who are obviously unhappy with their job.

      Red Top Mountain State Park Campground

      Heavenly! Red Top Mountain State Park

      Spot #50 is perfection! Feels like you live alone on a tiny peninsula. Perfect place to explore trails, go fishing, enjoy sunset, and just be.

      Winding Waters RV Resort

      A Good Choice for Big Rigs Near Marietta

      We stayed at Winding Waters Riverfront RV Resort for four nights after picking up our new 5th wheel toy hauler from Three Way Campers in Marietta to thoroughly test all of the RV's systems while remaining close to the dealership if any issues arose. We followed the emailed arrival instructions, checked in quickly, and were escorted to pull-through Site 89 with full hookups. The staff was friendly, service-oriented, and very accommodating throughout our stay. We spent our first night in the pull-through before moving to a river-view back-in site. The staff initially suggested Site 190, but after we noticed it had very little yard space, they happily moved us to Site 193, which better suited our needs. The resort offers several unsecured Wi-Fi networks; we selected the strongest signal and averaged 82 Mbps download and 9 Mbps upload. We received two bars on both Verizon and T-Mobile, and our T-Mobile Home Internet worked well. We didn't bring Starlink on this trip, but with very few trees throughout the main campground, it should perform well in most sites. The pull-through sites are better spaced than many campgrounds of this type, although we still wouldn't describe them as spacious. We appreciated the PVC chairs and round tables found at many sites instead of the typical picnic table, and there are five"Paw Pen" pull-through sites with private fenced pet areas. The nearby dog park consists of two small fenced runs that are adequate for potty breaks but not really large enough to throw a ball. Although the water park and numerous family-oriented amenities are not typically what we look for in a campground, Winding Waters was an excellent place to shake down our new rig.

      Talking Rock Motorcoach Resort

      Definitely 5 Stars!

      Really nice newer RV park located in the mountains. They originally were a motorhome only resort, but since opened it up to towable units (still no tents). Many sites have great mountain views and the website has pictures of each site so you can decide what you want and how much you want to pay. They accept Passport America and give a 50% discount for up to a two-week stay which is why we stayed for two weeks. That discount made it a great place for a full hook-up RV resort with nice amenities. We loved the campground and the owners are super nice and helpful. Upon check-in, you get a nice welcome packet full of information about the local area and a loaf of homemade sourdough bread (which was delicious!!!!). Sites are basically a double site so where you park your camper and patio are both paved. They have “Solo” type firepits so you can move them wherever you want and not destroy the grass or pavement. Our site had two comfortable patio chairs and a picnic table.  Everything is paved so no dusty roads or dirty sites.  They allow you to wash your RV and car which was a big plus for us since they both needed it. The utilities worked well. There is a really nice swimming pool with lounge chairs and tables. The clubhouse is large and a great gathering place that offers free Nespresso coffee, snacks, and information. There are a couple of hiking trails on the property and they offer guided walks with staff. The nearby town of Talking Rock is really cute with restaurants, a brewery, shops, and a general store that sells a variety of items including firewood and pantry staples. We would definitely stay here again.

    Guide to Roswell

    Stone Mountain Park Campground offers tent and RV camping with electric hookups just 30 minutes from Roswell, Georgia. Sites sit along the 363-acre lake where fishing, swimming, and kayaking are popular during summer months. Winter temperatures drop to the 30s at night while daytime summer heat often exceeds 90°F with high humidity.

    What to do

    Hiking at Stone Mountain: The hike up Stone Mountain provides views from the summit. "We loved these grounds. They were clean and there was easy access to bathrooms. The hike to the top was a challenge, but the views were worth it," notes Judy B. who visited Stone Mountain Park Campground.

    Water activities on Lake Allatoona: The lake offers swimming, fishing, and boating opportunities. "These sites were amazing. Most of the sites are right on the lake. There is an abundance of wildlife around. The water is nice and cool. Perfect lake to boat and fish on," says Tracy L H. about Payne Campground.

    Trail exploration: Sweetwater Creek State Park features riverside trails with historic ruins. "This is a must for our family at least once a year. We love the water. We also love the historical trails that lead to the old civil war mill. It's a great hike," shares Elaine G.

    What campers like

    Lakefront campsites: Many campgrounds offer direct water access. "Our site is very private. We are in site 22 in case you were wondering. It is nestled along the shore of Lake Allatoona. The sites are clean, large fire rings, concrete picnic tables, asphalt vehicle and RV pad," Matt H. writes about Victoria Campground.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Deer and other wildlife are common sightings. "Always see deer and other wild life," notes Susan H. who stayed at McKinney Campground.

    Clean facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained bathhouses. "Shower house was clean, laser show fabulous and while hiking we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife," Jennifer T. reports from her visit to Stone Mountain Park Campground.

    What you should know

    Alcohol regulations vary: Some campgrounds strictly enforce no-alcohol policies. "If you enjoy having a beer while camping don't come here. Beautiful day, beer in a solo cup playing cards with my wife at a picnic table. We were not making noise, nobody complained about us. Ranger pulls up and gave us both tickets," warns Rick B. about Shady Grove Campground.

    Highway noise affects some locations: Proximity to major roads can impact tent camping. "This park is about 30-40 minutes outside of Atlanta right off of I-75. If you are in a tent, you will hear I-75 traffic all night," Jeff E. explains about Red Top Mountain State Park.

    Seasonal closures: Not all campgrounds operate year-round. Sweetwater Campground only operates from "March 15 to September 7," while others like Bald Ridge Creek are open "mid-March to mid-November."

    Tips for camping with families

    Beach access for kids: Several lakeside campgrounds include swimming areas. "Great family campground. The attendant's are friendly and helpful. Lots of nearby things to do," shares Malinda C. about Sweetwater Campground.

    Playgrounds and recreation: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "They have a nice playground that is walking distance from our favorite camp sites that the kids really love," explains Chris H. regarding Shady Grove.

    Junior ranger programs: Some parks offer educational activities. "Friendly staff, with the Jr ranger program still going with the help of adult campers during covid. Still so much fun and so clean and beautiful," Cheryl C. shares about Red Top Mountain State Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Be prepared with leveling blocks. "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," Brock D. cautions about Red Top Mountain State Park Campground.

    Dump station availability: Some campgrounds have limited facilities. "Huge campground but only one dumpstation," notes Scarlett W. about Sweetwater Campground.

    Electric hookup options: Most campgrounds offer various amp options. "Sites have water and electric. A few have full hook ups," says Susan H. about McKinney Campground.
