Welcome center is nice, but the roads and asphalt sites are crumbling. We had a back in site that was fairly level. No real privacy from neighboring sites.

"The cabins are definitely the highlight here with great amenities including running water and electricity," one visitor noted. Banning Mills Treehouses offers another unique option with elevated accommodations featuring picnic tables, electric hookups, and toilet facilities. Most glamping sites include picnic areas, fire rings, and proximity to clean shower facilities, allowing guests to experience nature without sacrificing comfort.
Trails ranging from easy river walks to more challenging forest hikes connect many of the glamping resorts near Sargent. Chattahoochee Bend's 14 miles of hiking trails and 3.5-mile water trail provide excellent daytime activities for glampers seeking outdoor adventure. The observation tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding forest and river. According to a camper, "It's a great place for star-gazing since it is a dark park." Nighttime astronomy is particularly rewarding at these secluded glamping locations where light pollution is minimal. Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park offers additional luxury camping options with year-round availability and access to historic sites. Most glamping accommodations require reservations, with peak seasons filling quickly during spring and fall when temperatures are most comfortable for enjoying the outdoor setting alongside glamping comforts.

ScoutCamp Comet Campground - Silver Comet Trail
Overtaken by homeless and wanted criminals
This campground use to be a good hold over spot or a good spot for beginner campers. The homeless in the area have taken it over and have completely destroyed it. Trash all over the place and used needles and foils scattered about. The police routinely check this area as it has become a known hideout spot for wanted people. Would not camp here. Back when I was a kid we would ride our bikes and stay out there for days at a time. Not anymore. Would avoid

Camp commit
Very quiet,has porter potty in parking lot, cell service, free camping.
Lisa M.ScoutFranklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground
Site 204 Sep 9 to Sep 14
Site is a good size located on the shore of Lake Delano under trees. Great view. Fire ring and picnic table equipped. The temp is still hot and humid but there is a breeze which makes it bearable in the daytime, nights are cooler and comfortable. Plenty to explore with Pine Mountain Trail close by. Would stay here again. This site is water and electric only with dump station at entrance.

Beautiful views with lake front camping
Campsite was the perfect lake front spot for our dog’s last camping adventure with us. The resort felt super safe for 2 females traveling with their dog and all campsites and bathrooms were super clean.

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.

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.
Nancy W.LegendR. Shaefer Heard Campground
Nice COE Campground
This is a typical park where not all sites are created equal. Some are paved, some are gravel. Some have 50 amp, some are 30-amp. Some are perfectly level and some have really steep grades. Some sites are pull-thru, some are back-in. Some are really long, some are much shorter. The roads in the campground are paved, free of potholes, and fairly easily navigable for big-rigs. All sites are pet-friendly and have water and electric. There are no sewer sites. Campsites 1-27 and 85-106 have 50-amp electric while the others are 30-amp. Some sites (40, 47, 50, 52, 65, 80, 84, 87, 89, 101) are “double-unit” (or buddy) sites which is reflective in the $60/night price. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the campground in each loop but there are only two shower houses in the entire campground. Sites 1-16 are perfectly level as are a few others. Reservations can be made online and the website has pictures and descriptions as well as length of site. The campground is very dark at night with the only lights being at the bathrooms. We love dark campgrounds where the moon and stars are bright. Unfortunately, numerous campers left their lights all night which we find really annoying. Our Verizon phone was very spotty and not reliable. We were able to use our portable Dish satellite to get television. There is a dump station located conveniently on your way out which is quite busy on Sundays at check out.

What to do
Zipline adventures: At Banning Mills Treehouses, visitors can access one of Georgia's most extensive zipline networks. "Banning Mills has 2 parks. 1 that central based are ziplines...90 of them. Great place for the kids or adults who are still kids," notes Richard M., who also mentions they have "the tallest man made rock climbing wall...over 100ft tall."
Kayaking and water activities: Mckinney Campground offers direct lake access for paddlers. "We always stop here on our trips down to florida and we always stay a couple days as we love to get a waterfront site," says Robin M., adding "we love to fish and we always catch several kinds of fish but the crappie are so delicious."
Historical exploration: Within a short drive from Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground, visitors can explore significant historical sites. "Close to Callaway Gardens and little town of Pine Mountain," mentions Liz H., who appreciated the park's proximity to historical attractions alongside its natural features like "lots of hiking trails, pool, can rent canoes and paddle boats on the lake."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the secluded nature of Mckinney Campground, where sites offer good separation. "Sites are large and well placed. Many sites with lakeview to choose from. Always see deer and other wildlife," reports Susan H., highlighting the campground's natural setting.
Platform camping: The elevated camping platforms at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground receive consistently positive reviews. "Platform sites are super nice. Short walk into the sites, right beside a river. Not much privacy between platforms but every time we have been it hasn't been full or crowded," shares Jessica D., describing this unique camping option.
Family-oriented amenities: Campgrounds often include features specifically designed for families. "There's a kiddie pool and a big kid pool, a jump pad and an inflatable slide, a nice playground, and a small arcade that's affordable," notes Randy B. about Yogi Bears Jellystone Park, adding that "the office staff is great and helpful."
What you should know
Gate closure times: Several campgrounds enforce strict gate policies. At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, "They lock the gate at 10, sharp, and tend to have some trouble with sewerage during rainy seasons," warns Jan P., which is important for campers planning late arrivals.
Bathroom conditions vary widely: Facilities range from excellent to basic across different campgrounds. "The bathrooms were cleaner than my bathroom at home," reports Joey P. about Chattahoochee Bend State Park, contrasting with experiences at other locations where maintenance may be less consistent.
Train noise: Some campgrounds experience significant railway disturbance. "The only drawbacks are the loud train that runs through town that goes all day and all night," mentions Randy B. about Yogi Bears Jellystone Park, an important consideration for light sleepers.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Select sites near play areas for convenience with children. "We stayed in site 185...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," shares Hunter K. about Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Junior Ranger programs: Some parks offer educational activities for children. "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!!" reports Cheryl C. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
Water features: Campgrounds with splash zones provide relief during hot months. Pine Mountain RV Resort features "a playground, pool, hot tub, and fun mushroom splash pool," according to Jamie M., offering multiple ways to keep children entertained and cool.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Many campsites require significant adjustment for RVs. "Backing in was not difficult even though we had to raise the right tire 3" to be level," notes Erin C. about Sweetwater Creek State Park Campground, describing her experience with a 21-foot Lance travel trailer.
Power requirements: Be prepared for potential electrical issues at some locations. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," warns Brittany about Pine Mountain RV Resort, suggesting travelers with larger RVs should confirm power capabilities before booking.
Campground road conditions: Access roads within some campgrounds can be challenging. "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," cautions Brock D. about Red Top Mountain State Park.
