TravelerWe stopped in to check it out. But there is a burn ban at this time so we didn't want to take any chances. We will be back! I will give a better review then.
GuideEasy to get in as it's marked on the road. Fairly flat ground.
TravelerI stayed at the walk- in campsites with waterfront view and access to walk down to the water. There is no electric at site and water didn’t work. The bathroom facilities are well maintained and whole place is really clean. This site was right next to parking other 3 are close but wagon recommended to haul items to other walk on sites.
ScoutGorgeous campground on the lake with excellent facilities. Priority along the lake front is given to tent sites, which is nice. There's a mix of sizes for small campers and big RVs so it never feels crowded. Not a huge amount to do in the area except chill on the lake or at your site in the woods... which is fine by me. The one shortcoming was difficult lake access from the campground. There are plenty of beach areas when the lake is low but getting to them can be challenging. There's a public beach in another part of the park but we didn't go there.
GuideVery crowded campground, tight sites, and dated facilities. Stayed one night on a through trip, so they let me stay with my custom built RV but they have a rule against it if you’re staying more than one night. I am not sure why because this isn’t an RV resort, it reminds me of an over crowded KOA. Good for business stay or a quick overnight but if you have a family and want room for your kids to play, I’d look elsewhere.
GuideWe got a site with full hook ups and it was unusually expensive for a State Park. It was fairly level and gravel. It had a picnic table and small deck area that was in rough shape and needs replacement. It was just OK. At least it was quiet at night and the bathhouse was clean, though our daughter never did get hot water in the shower. There is a train ride that runs in a circle around the stone mountain area. The horn blasts all day long, but luckily not late at night. The biggest disappointment was that they say it's dog friendly on the web site, but dogs aren't allowed on most of the trails we tried to walk on, so we didn't get to see much of the park except by car. There are many activities, but they are not free. It's an expensive park for families. Bring your wallet!
GuideNo services, mostly level, fairly spaced spots.
