Best Glamping near Sparta, GA

We camped here a few weeks ago on week long journey through Georgia and Alabama. This was one of best campgrounds we experienced. Large, clean, spacious campsites. Very friendly staff. Right on the lake. Great for photos and fishing. We will be going back.

We went near the end of August and had a nice little get away. This park is so peaceful and a great place to go to just sit back, relax and enjoy the views. We were in site 22 which was a pull through right on the lake. My only issue with the site was that it was very unlevel but it was very close to the water and right beside a small fishing dock which was great for my son who loves to fish. Sites have electrical hookups and there is access to a grey water dump but not full sewer access. This was fine since we were only there for the weekend. On this particular trip we didn’t use the bathhouse so I can’t comment on that but since our trip they have opened a new bath house. I took my kayak and enjoyed kayaking on the lake with my kids. We also went to the historic mill and museum that was onsite which was neat. Additionally while there was no swimming in the lake, the park ranger gave me a tip on a local swimming hole just down the road called the shoals and I took the kids there to play in the water and cool off for a while.

Nice place, kept neat and clean. Several spaces though fairly close together water and electricity, dependable small dump station easily accessible as well. 

Great place to camp. Friendly staff, great fishing, and new clean bathrooms. Been there several times and will continue.

Today was beautiful. We took the aqua cycle out. It can sit four people comfortably. Fished and walked around a little bit. Great customer service.

We loved this campground because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it was so peaceful. We stayed for a week during the kids’ spring break. Such a beautiful setting with nearly all the campsites on the water. There’s not interstates, trains, airports nearby so it’s truly a quiet getaway. There’s a new bathhouse that was nice and clean. Plenty to do with boats, kayaks, paddle boats to rent. The staff and Rangers were very accommodating and welcoming. Campsites were nicely shaded. Just so picturesque! Would love to come back!

Wonderful campgrounds. Very clean and well kept. New clean bath facilities. Almost all sites are in the water with half shaded. Highly recommend!

Lovely big mill pond with campsites right on the water. Quiet area, will definitely go back.

First time camping there. Beautiful site on the lake. Had a great time hiking and visiting the gristmill.

Wonderful views, beautiful sunsets, great fishing and a peaceful place to stay! We woke up to a breathtaking sunrise and enjoyed a cup of coffee with the view. Most sites have a few of the lake and are spaced out. It was quiet and peaceful, just what we were looking forward to. Easy to get in and out of site, check in was quick and easy. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. We will be back soon!

Very large sites. Very quiet. All but 3 sites are on the lake. Sites 1and 2 are primitive - water, electric and no water view. Site 3 has a view of the water but no direct access for your kayak or canoe. Sites 4-19 have sunrise views. Site 20 sits on the point by itself but has no shade. We stayed in site 21 that was private, shaded and had great access to the water. Sites 21-30 have sunset views. Sites 4-30 have direct water access. They have several buddy sites and several pull throughs. There is one bath house which is older but relatively clean. I never saw anyone else in the bath house. It does have a family bath/shower room. There is a nice shaded playground with a horseshoe pit. Very little to no outside traffic. There is a museum and gristmill and nice park office. If you want a quiet stay to fish and relax this is a great park. They do have 3 trails but we enjoyed the relaxation so much we didn't do them. Maybe next time.

reserved a site on spur of the moment after i found one on the water and 50amp. once arrived at the park determined all the sites, but 3 were good and on the water. the trails were good but the white trail needed some maintance. did a tour of the museum and grist mill which was very intresting. park staff were super friendly. lakews alot bigger than i expected but there are rulles about what motors are allowed. over all super nice and very quite park. support our state parks to help keep them maintaines and open.

Great get away for nothing but quietness. No internet, no nothing. Just a peaceful lake escaping reality. Almost every campsite is on the lake but 3 spots.

Beautiful level sites,most on the water. Nice playground for kids. Hiked the yellow trail (1/2) mile with a 4yr old, was wide and clean. Will return.

We went to Hamburg to try out our new rooftop tent and work out any bugs. It was early April and a bit colder than we anticipated, but still fun. We got site 27, which is absolutely beautiful with easy water access (probably good for kayaks and canoes, but the lake isn’t big enough for boats and there is no swimming allowed due to gators).

The walk from site 27 to the bathroom was a bit of a bear, especially in the dark. The way the park is laid out, I think all sites are about the same distance from the bath house (which was very clean the whole stay). Also, sites 4 and up are all water sites, though the layout of some of them is very confusing.

Be aware that there is zero cell service (of any kind) here, so if you’re looking to do any work or keep in touch, you’ll have to drive to a different part of the park for Wi-Fi at the main office.

The grist mill wasn’t open due to COVID but several folks were fishing in the area.

We recently stayed at Oconee Springs. The campground was very difficult to park in, as the spaces were right on top of each other. There’s not much privacy as you’re right next to the other person (which is fine if you’re camping with friends). The beach area was great! Our kids enjoyed the inflatables in the water and the park. Bathrooms were very clean as well. It wasn’t my favorite camping experience, but I would give it 3/5 stars.

My daughter and I have stayed here the last 3 summer’s. It’s officially a must for our summer camp trips. The serenity of the area and huge fields and beautiful trees. The air is just different. I find great peace here.

My parents stayed here and they had such a positive experience. The camping host (Miss Mary and Sophie) were very nice, welcoming, and even ran into town to get ice for them after a long day of driving. The grounds are well kept and overall it was a great stay. Thanks for the great hospitality. -Maria Quatse
