This is one of the few state parks in Georgia with yurts and also has a great flat biking trail. The lake allows for kayaking and boating and some yurts are actually right on the lake. A good glamping destination.
Guide
Very shaded sites with many being waterfront. We were in site 15, 14, and my parents used the Georgia glamping company in site 16. More photos and details on the link. https://imaginecamper.com/2019/05/30/shady-grove-campground/

This is a nice spot for “glamping”. Very beautiful view of the lake and the spots are always kept up. Spots for tent, pop-up, and even RV camping.
Scout
This is a cute eclectic glamping ground that has a lot of character. There are 2 bell tents in the area. One setup with a king bed and the other a twin bed. The amenities are mind blowing…….top tier linens, mobile power units, lighting, movie projector, movie speaker and yes a wood burning stove in your tent. There is an outdoor shower, port-a-potties and sanitary wipes to handle business. Their indoor bathroom facility is under construction. This place is awesome! Get in before the prices go up☝️
GuideLived in Georgia my whole life and yet my first time to Stone Mountain was literally three years ago. Now we have an annual pass and go all the time. This place is world renowned for its fireworks and laser show but you have to go off the pavement to truly fall in love with Stone Mountain! This place is great for everyone. I mean everyone, from free runners to hikers and all you folk that like to “camp” in your RVs. Visit this place anytime of year and you will not be disappointed. Apparently it’s rated #1 as the best place to camp in Georgia. I’m more into the nature only kind of camping but that’s not everyone’s cup a tea. Stone Mountain has something for everyone.
GuideWe had a few nights in the yurt and a few nights camping at a walk in site. I preferred the walk in campsite directly on the lake over the yurts. The yurts were tightly packed and not very private.
TravelerFort Yargo is a bit of history for Georgia, restored cabin from 1792. Boating, hiking, camping and cabins with another area that is a private resort. Lots of room 1816 acres, 16 cabins, 6 yurts. Many tent and trailers spots. #34 has full hookups. There is a nice pavilion and a fairly new welcome center. It is easy to get to and there is playgrounds for the young ones.
GuideSeveral options available. RV hook ups, camp grounds, and yurt rentals. I did not rent a yurt but have heard good things from friends who have. Very clean camp grounds, if you don't mind a familes close by. Can set up next to the lake. Pet friendly and several children and families around. Ton of activities around stone mountain park.

My girlfriend and I stayed in a yurt here for our first anniversary. We absolutely loved it. Not only was it our first time at High Falls, it was our first time in a yurt. We basically had a little yard to ourselves where we grilled dinner and set up cornhole and ladder ball and just had fun. We also did a Twilight canoe tour which was gorgeous.
TravelerFort Yargo is a nice park with campsites, yurts and cabins. We camped by the lake and enjoyed ourselves.
GuideFort 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.
ScoutIt has history. A beautiful lake with many activities. Great primitive camp sites as well as spacious pull through lake front spots for RVs. They also have cute yurts on the lake with a movie night for kids!
LegendThis was a cool place to stop and visit for a little while. The campground was fantastic with yurts and rv sites. They have two campgrounds. Lots of sites were drive through too which help tremendously. The hiking was great too.
TravelerThey have alot of options to camp from a tent to a camper, to renting a yurt, safari tent or travel trailer. The bath houses are great and clean. There are so many things to do in the campground and the park. I love visiting as often as I can.
GuideEasy to get into with any type of camper or tent. There are multiple bath houses, playground for the kids and all the amenities for the lake. There is hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, kayaks rentals and the trails are well marked and easy. You can also rent yurts and other stuff to camp in.
TravelerWe camped over the Labor Day weekend. The park was a little pricey but the lake is nice. There is a pool, a playground & a gathering area. There are a lot of sites as well as Yurts. On top of the $70 a night you must pay a $20 parking fee. The full use of the state park is $39.95 a day.
TravelerThe staff were able to get me added and discounted my staff which was nice. The place is broken up with many cottages, yurts and other tent areas to reserve. We took to the path ways with our dog and enjoyed the many animals roaming through the woods. I wasn't able to get on a raft this time, yet saw many enjoying the fishing and lake. Overall a quiet place with good facilities. Accomodations for every camper were available.
TravelerMyself and 2 friends stayed in one of the 5 Yurts on the lake. Every morning we watched the sun rise over the trees, to start our days. Every evening, we gathered on the back deck to watch the sun setting. Let me tell you, absolutely breathtaking!
Plenty of room inside the structure for 3 adults, but only 2 outlets inside and 1 covered, out front.
The walking paths (over 11 miles worth) were excellent and well maintained.
We saw several does, lots of squirrels and a small flock of domestic ducks.
We were also graced with some beautiful owls, and a young eagle.
LegendStayed in site #253. Ok campground. Sites are small and uneven. Premium price but not premium site. Our site was on loop with a lot of shade. Camp has mostly full hookups including cable. Pool at campground and store. Yurts, rental campers, premium tents are also available. Lots of activities in this park. Very touristy but that's what I expected. Stone Mountain can hike or take sky tram to top. Many other options to do especially for kids. The laser show is a must see!! Many trails in the park for hiking, biking, running, walking. We kayaked the lake. In July it's very hot. Within 45 minutes to Atlanta. Good campground to enjoy many activities. Will return in fall/winter to enjoy some hiking.
LegendHigh Falls State Park is named for the cascade waterfall that flows from the lake in the park. It is a pretty good waterfall, on the Towaliga River. There is a campground with over 200 sites, with water & electric, 30/50 amp, Some are pull-thru, and a pioneer camping spot. There are also 6 lakeside yurts, with a small deck & picnic table. There is a small store and a dump station. You can rent kayaks, canoes and paddle-boards. There us also a small playground and a mini golf. The park also has swimming pool. Fishing is supposed to be big here, but I didn’t fish. Boat ramps are available.
You can hike along the edge of the waterfall, and there were people sunning and playing in the pools below the falls.
LegendWent to High Falls State Park in January. site number 27. We stayed 8 nights There are two campgrounds- lakeside and River camping area. Lakeside is by High falls Lake and is closest to the falls. River camping is across the street we stayed in River camping area. Nice sites but open to neighbors. Sites included table, fire ring, lantern hook. Some sites are 30 amp some 50 amp and had some pull through sites. After the weekend we were one of only a few in the campground in January. Weather may change this time of year we had a lot of rain one day and freezing temperatures overnight but mostly it was good camping weather. Camp hosts were awesome!!! This park is not far off i-75. Dollar general was a few miles other than that not much around. Very easy hiking trail to waterfalls and several trails along Towaliga River, ruins of an old Mill. There is no swimming in falls or river. Afterr rain falls were flowing very fast. This park also has a swimming pool, mini golf, yurts, boat rentals all were closed in January. Bathhouses were well maintained and had laundry facilities. Phone and TV reception we're good at this park. 8 days was too much here I would recommend 4 to 5 days or as a stopover point but would definitely return here.
GuideOne of the best camping areas in Georgia.

Another Winner from Georgia.... Great camping and pretty easy to get in and out of you have a medium to large rig.... A little harder if you have 38ft or larger but Overall one to visit...
TravelerThis park it just beautiful. If you love large wooded spots with great lake views and lots of deer to watch....this is your park. Located in a very nice part of Georgia with so many places to go and see. Or just relax and soak up mother nature's beauty.
LegendWe escaped Hurricane Irma last year in florida. We went to Georgia and stayed in HFSP. We had a wonderful time! There were so many lush trees, and wonderful people. Our site was perfect! There were 9 of us and two rv’s. Campground host was awesome, and stopped by several times. They knew we were trying to outrun the hurricane. We just made plans to come back this June.....for lots of fun!
Guide
We tent camped here..we were up on a steep hill, but it was beautiful!! The bathrooms were close to the site. We had a great family time here!! Deer were roaming thru the campsite.. so many!! I loved the fresh Georgia air and the atmosphere was just so relaxing!! I do know there is a whole other area for RV camping.. looks fun and nice in that area as well!!
GuideThis is a great state park located in Flovilla, Georgia. If about 10 miles off I-75.
We arrived after dark so the main entrance was hard to see. We had to make a u-turn however getting to the sight was clear once in the gate.
The campsite host was very friendly and helps us park the camper. There are no street light in the campsite loops. Which is good to see stars but tricky to park. We had a couple 1000 Lumen flood lights that really helped.
The bathrooms were clean and warm. They were not new, but clean.
The park was on a lake and had plenty for area to walk and ride bikes. We didn’t have chance to fish but it looked promising.
