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
Lived 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.
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.
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/
GuideThis 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.
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.
RangerThis is a great, spacious campground and is very family friendly. It is convenient to all that Stone Mountain has to offer with convenient tram bus service to many areas of Stone Mountain Park.
There are a variety of sites, from nice upgraded sites to others right on the water. Many of the sites have plenty of shade. The campground is excellently maintained and the staff is super friendly.

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☝️
TravelerLove the convenience to the festivities of Stone Mountain Park!
TravelerWe have stayed at Stone Mountain Park campground three times now. We never run out of things to do. We bring our kayaks, and our kabota. You have the lake you can rent a kayak paddle board or a canoe, there is a golf course, stone mountain laser light show, trails to hike, an area for children to explore in adventure into, and much much more. The campground is great. We stay at lot 418. You get a lot for your money here if you’re looking for a great place for your family, This is it.
LegendPicturesque site on hillside overlooking Stone Mountain Lake. Paved site is bumpy and challenging to level. Large park with many entertainment choices.
GuideLots of things to do, we took the shuttle over to Stone mountain from the campground. Campsites are pretty close together but not bad.
GuideWe stayed at Stone Mountain Park Campground over Labor Day weekend. We were surprised by all of the things to do and see. We visited Stone Mountain Park to play putt putt, ride the train, visit the Dinosaur Exhibit and ride the Skyride. Our son loved it all! The 4D theatre was closed due to Covid-19. We visited the Rock Quarry and Grist Mill. The REI boathouse was also closed due to Covid-19 so you couldn’t rent paddle boards or kayaks. We saw plenty of people on the lake who had brought their own. There were great bicycle trails, we wish we would’ve had some to enjoy that aspect. We will be back, probably in the Winter for the events and tubing.
The campsite was nice and shaded. The lake views and Stone Mountain View was stunning! We didn’t visit the bathhouses. It is tight getting your camper backed in, you may have a line of trucks & campers behind you waiting while you unhook and move your truck. It was a little tense since we are still newbies to camping but everyone was nice, patient and understanding.
TravelerWe have stayed at this campground several times. Lots to do with the kids. Stone Mountain has so many free activities without going into the pay area.
GuideStone Mountain park campground was wonderful! Pretty as well clean and the staff there are so helpful! They have activities such as bingo and ice cream socials. We will definitely be back!
RangerThis campground is inside Stone Mountain Park. Stone Mountain Park has many attractions you can do. Most attractions cost extra, but you get discounts when you are staying at the campground. The laser show is free and there is a convenient trolley that takes you to/from your campsite. The campground has a pool and activities like an Ice Cream social. There are spots right on the lake. We brought our kayaks and put in right from our site. The lake is very peaceful to kayak because motorized boats aren’t allowed. Our site was very shady which helps with the summer heat. The bathrooms were clean, but we used our RV mostly. The site was very spacious. We did the Ride the Ducks attraction which picked us up from the campground. The staff at the campground is very helpful and friendly.
GuideGreat week. The only downfall was that the trailer needed a lot of leveling. But it was totally worth it. Our site was on the lake. My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site. There was a lot to see and do at Stone Mountain.
GuideThe title says it all. The grounds are excellent. Plenty of spots. Water, electric, sewer, primitive sites, cabins, drive thru, back ins, lake front, golf, stone mountain itself, washer/dryers, store, etc. Wow! Will definitely be back. We parked with a 41’ motorhome by the lake for 2 nights and absolutely loved it.
GuideWe had a large site in a new loop (orange) with views of East Lake and the side of Stone Mountain. Roads are nice and wide, easy to get in and out of the back in sites. Full hook up with cable. Camp store has reasonable prices for fire wood and ice.
ScoutThis trip was a stop along our way to Florida from Connecticut, we spent 2 days here, the grounds we amazing, great place for kids, the hike up stone mountain was memorable for the whole family... we would definitely recommend this place for families who love to hike.... we would change nothing about this camp ground or park
ScoutStone Mountain Park has a very large campground and there’s a wide range of sites and prices. The restroom and shower facilities are always clean. The main park is beautiful and has a really nice cycling and walking/running path around the mountain. There are also really good hiking trails, a lake with kayak rentals available and other attractions.
GuideWe had a great weekend getaway here. We reserved an Orange Site overlooking the lake and highly recommend it. Every Saturday in December, there is a golf cart parade through the campground. The golf carts and RVs are decorated and everyone is in the holiday spirit. Plus, Stone Mountain has a whole Christmas celebration which provides lots of activities. Will definitely return!
RangerI cannot list all of the things to do at this park. We rode the ducks hiked to the top of Stone Mountain and enjoyed a laser display at the end of the evening just to name some of the highlights. There are mutiple stores shopping restaurants and just so much to do and see the kids will love it!
ScoutThis campground is convenient to the attractions offered at Stone Mountain. The campsites offer an incredible view of the mountain and the lake. There are campsites directly on the water as well. The campground offers a pool and a camp store on site. Staff are quick to remedy any issues they are made aware of. The only drawbacks are campsites are extremely close together, and the bath houses need some updating.
TravelerStone 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.
TravelerThere's so much to do at Stone mountain from hiking, boating, glass blowing, festivals and the hike up and the views are stunning, lots of animal life and an amazing and helpful staff from the bottom to the top.The police/fire men are not only family but some of the best guys I've met in this state, always willing to help. As well as being Ancient Indian Land it is also near the beggining of the trail of tears. A very very special place!
GuideSITE: Pretty spot among many pine trees so feels private. You can see the water from the site and it's a great area to get around and walk outside. Our site was pretty level, we just needed a little boost on one side. Our sewer hose didn't fit in the hookup and it's higher than the ground so you had to assist your hose when dumping. Some of the asphalt getting to the site was really messed up so you have to dodge pot holes, but if you go slow it's perfectly doable- just bouncy. It froze 3 of the nights we were there so had to plan accordingly with our hoses.
AMENITIES: We were right across the way from Comfort Station#10 so to use the laundry room was really convenient. Daily trash pick up at site was very handy.$2 for both washing and drying. The dryers didn't work that well for us- had to run the cycle twice on towels. It's a very quiet and peaceful location.
WIFI/ CELL SERVICE: Wifi would occasionally load emails, but was not reliable and very slow to load basic searches, if at all. AT&T was 2 bars, but it worked fine at the site for calls and video calls.
You do have to pay a one time fee of$20 for your car entry into Stone Mountain on top of your RV park fees. Stone Mountain has great areas for walking and biking!
