    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.

    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!

    Stone Mountain Park Campground

    Extraordinary Attractions

    Stone Mountain hardly needs another glowing review, but it is a pleasure to stay there. First, everything is contained and available. The views of the lake, and, yes, the mountain are gorgeous. There is a nice spacious check-in store. Your trash is picked up constantly from your site. Each site has a deck, a grill with a propane tank already attached, a picnic table, and a fire pit, electric and sewer hook ups. The sites are close together, but the decks are pretty private. If you bike, hike, run or like trails, boating and fishing, all are right there. It helps to have a car/truck, as the place is pretty immense, but my neighbors had a Class C and were throughly enjoying mountain biking to everything. Another neighbor with a gorgeous Class A was driving his towed truck to a neighboring Petco. There is everything. Deer roam in the morning and at night, and if golf is your sport of choice, Stone Mountain has a highly rated public course. The staff is very friendly. I liked the purple area near the playground and pool. The sites seemed a little more private. It’s not cheap, and I don’t know what discounts might be available. But, if you’re in or around Atlanta, this is the place to go. It will NOT disappoint.

    Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground

    Cabins are definitely the highlight here!

    The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like. 

    They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites). 

    There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)

    We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids. 

    2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

    Fort Yargo State Park Campground

    Walk in tent site 44

    Nice large gravel site. Water access but no swimming allowed at campground. Parking lot is a short walk to campsite. Bathhouse is at the parking area. Picnic table and fire pit at site.

    Wooded area but not secluded, limited shade on table. Will need a canopy for daytime table use. Neighbors lights will definitely be seen.

    Nice site but probably won’t stay at this site again.

Guide to Smyrna

Camping cabins near Smyrna, Georgia offer accommodations within several state parks and private facilities throughout the region. The area sits at approximately 1,050 feet above sea level with a moderate climate that allows for year-round cabin use. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, while winter lows rarely drop below freezing, making three-season camping comfortable without specialized gear.

What to do

Hiking opportunities: Red Top Mountain State Park features scenic trails around Lake Allatoona with minimal elevation changes. "This is close enough to metro to make for a quick getaway. The trail around the lake is good and in the winter it is not too far north has to be too cold to get outside in a tent," notes one visitor to Red Top Mountain State Park.

Water recreation: Lake Allatoona provides swimming, fishing, and boating options from multiple access points. At Holiday Harbor Marina & Resort, visitors can enjoy "peaceful and clean park" conditions with multiple water access points for day use or overnight stays.

Mountain biking: Fort Yargo State Park offers dedicated mountain biking trails for various skill levels. A visitor mentions, "Mountain bike trails and hiking trails inside park. When I have more time we plan to go back and take it all in. Close to the town of Winder for items you forgot. Less than a 3 mile ride," according to a Fort Yargo State Park Campground review.

What campers like

Platform camping: Some parks offer raised platforms ideal for tent camping near water. One Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground visitor shares, "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."

Spacious, wooded sites: Several campgrounds offer sites with good separation and natural screening. "We camped with my parents in the RV section of the campground, it was beautifully wooded and offered plenty of space/privacy from other campsites and was still a short walk from the bathhouse. Also had a little view of a lake down below," according to a Stone Mountain Park Campground visitor.

Clean facilities: Bathhouses are well-maintained at most locations. A camper at Chattahoochee Bend notes, "The bathrooms were cleaner than my bathroom at home. The dogs loved the hiking and the river is beautiful with the fall colors."

What you should know

Railroad proximity: Several campgrounds have nearby train tracks. A visitor to Marina Resort - Allatoona Landing comments, "Very nice lake campground, paved parking pads, lots of foliage, a good bit of lakefront sites, level pads with electric, water, sewer, picnic table, and fire ring. I noticed several permanent residences here, and yes the train is LOUD."

Reservation requirements: Weekends fill quickly during peak seasons (April-October). Sites with the best amenities or views should be booked 3-6 months in advance.

Military-only options: Several facilities restrict use to military personnel. One visitor to Naval Recreation Site notes, "This is only for military, you have to have ID to prove."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Multiple parks feature recently updated play equipment. A camper at Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground shares, "Lots of great hiking. 2 playgrounds were open. Playgrounds are brand new or at least they look brand new. I am 225 lbs and I played on all the equipment with my daughter."

Kid-friendly bathrooms: Facilities are typically clean and accessible. One Red Top Mountain visitor notes, "This isn't for backpackers but for camping with your family, it's good. They have water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly."

Seasonal programming: Several parks offer organized activities for children. "We had an amazing visit!! All the staff were extremely helpful and sweet. Shower house was clean, laser show fabulous and while hiking we saw a lot of beautiful wildlife!!!" reports a Stone Mountain Park visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds require additional equipment for leveling. A visitor to Atlanta South RV Resort states, "The sites here are a little close, but it's big rig friendly, and so is the staff. Donna in the office was very kind and helpful, and so were all of the guys working the grounds. This will be our go-to park when visiting Atlanta."

Hookup variations: Sites offer different utility connections, even within the same campground. A Red Top Mountain visitor cautions, "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."

Road conditions: Interior roads at some parks present challenges for larger rigs. Look for pull-through sites when possible, particularly for vehicles over 30 feet in length.
