"Spent one night on the road here at a RV site on the lakeside camping area (they also offer additional entrance to river side camping.) Busy but courteous neighbors."
"The site has a good distance between the camper and it's "passenger" side so it's like not having a neighbor on that side."

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.
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.
ScoutI have been to FDR 3 times in the last 3 years and I hope to come more frequently. I came here multiple times over 50 years ago and I find it as enjoyable now as I did then. The check in is always easy. It is quiet there and there is so much to do. The trails are great for hiking. The facilities are always clean.
Georgia state parks are always nice but this is my favorite.
GuideNice updated CCC corp campground. Large sites,level full hookup. Most if not all have a view of the lake. We are here on a Monday but very quiet .We are in an Airstream 28 foot but several large rigs , class A and 5th wheels Not close to full but I expect very busy in the summer and weekends. I would definitely make a reservation just 90 miles from Atlanta
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.
ScoutUpdate: You need hunting, fishing, or land pass. No smoking or drinking allowed. Clean and cleared paths. All kinds of animals roaming about.
RangerGenerally speaking nice place to spend some time with nature, or good place for a free overnight stay while traveling. Watch carefully for the turn off the main road as it is easy to miss. The road into the camp is a bit bumpy but not too bad. A word of advice watch very carefully for the turn into the campground, it is hard to see and on the left off the dirt road. If you miss it, you have to drive all the way out, it's a long bumpy drive back out to the main road with no place to turn around. The camp itself is heavily wooded with plenty of room to find a secluded spot, so if you rely on solar finding a spot to get sun may be a challenge. On our night there were a small number of others there, but by no means crowded. Overall we liked it and would consider it again without hesitation.
