Just so beautiful and awesome. Camp host was lovely and our site could not have been more perfect. Internet said it was a walk up but it was a drive up. Site 52, I’m convinced it has to be the best one there. It adjoins via a mild staircase to 53 and would be perfect for two families to have. It’s right on the water and the sunset was phenomenal. Love it a lot. Electric and water, picnic table and fire ring.

We went over the Halloween weekend. What great fun. Lots of events for families and kids. Even us retired people got into the spirit! Sites were well maintained with space between sites. Bathrooms were clean all the time. Cell service was at best 2 bars on all networks. But that’s okay. Fall colors were abundant. If you had a small boat, canoe or kayak the lake is perfect for fishing or just enjoying. The only drawback was some road noise from Fairplay road. Otherwise I can’t say enough of how much we liked this park. Site 16 October.

Welcome center is nice, but the roads and asphalt sites are crumbling. We had a back in site that was fairly level. No real privacy from neighboring sites.

Not ideal for the primitive camper …
Way too many rules to have to abide by. It’s not a day use area, so you HAVE to camp over night or else they threaten to ban you from all FoCo campsites. Normally not a big deal, but there was supposed to be rain during our visit and that had me paranoid. We camped out, the rain held off, it was nice. Then day 2, I wasn’t feeling it anymore, but I didn’t want to be banned from camping 🙄 so we stayed the night and packed up at 5:45am the next day. No coffee or chilling. I just wanted to get out of there! I love camping out in the wilderness…no rules, no stress, no people, no RVs. Just nature.

Raven Cliff Falls
Off Grid and Creek Side
Very large dispersed campsites along the White Oak Gap Road. Very rugged road, AWD recommended but possible in some smaller vehicles. Creek crossings in some areas. Access to Dukes Creek Trail and Raven Cliffs Trail towards bottom of road. Vault toilets near trailheads. Great for large groups, our party slept 8 tents and several hammocks and there was still plenty of space.

Site 18: Don’t let the “hardest site to back into” reviews scare you! There’s a trick.
We stayed at Site 18, which has a reputation for being one of the hardest sites to back into. There’s definitely a trick to it! Pull your truck forward along the site, then pull out toward the site across from you, making an S-turn. From there, line it up and back in. It's tricky, but doable!
We loved this area and packed a lot into our stay. We visited BJ’s Apple Orchard, stopped at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm (where I somehow ended up with a 150-pound pumpkin 😂), had dinner at Cascades Restaurant, and took the easy way to see the falls.
The fenced-in sites were a huge plus, especially with our pups. It gave them more room to roam. The bathrooms and showers are individual rooms, which was nice, and the welcome center is one of the nicest we’ve come across.
And then there’s THE HILL. I was born and raised in the Smokies, so I’m no stranger to mountain roads, but the incline is no joke! The reviews are absolutely not exaggerating when they say it’s steep. Come prepared!
I have T-mobile and husband has Xfinity and we both have great service. Wifi in the campground gets the job done for Netflix at night.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful area, plenty to explore, dog-friendly sites, and a campground we’d visit again. 🏕️🥾

Beautiful views with lake front camping
Campsite was the perfect lake front spot for our dog’s last camping adventure with us. The resort felt super safe for 2 females traveling with their dog and all campsites and bathrooms were super clean.

Lakefront Overlook
We stayed at Site #45, and it quickly became one of our favorite campsites because it felt more like a wooded overlook, perched above the lake. The breeze coming off the water kept us comfortable enough to enjoy a campfire even on a hot August evening.
The site fit our 14x10 tent comfortably, but I wouldn’t recommend anything larger. There isn’t a true tent pad, and you’ll notice the slope while sleeping—but the view from inside the tent was priceless. We experienced a four-hour thunderstorm and didn’t have any standing water at our site afterward.
⚠️ The slope becomes much steeper near the shoreline, so I wouldn’t recommend this site for toddlers or anyone with mobility concerns.
🛝 Our 7-year-old loved fishing from the shoreline and thought the steep slope made the perfect slide to get back down to the water. Built-in slide + dirty shorts = happy camper. 😂
🔥 The site includes a clean fire ring with an adjustable cooking grate and a separate standing charcoal grill.
🦟 We didn’t have any issues with mosquitoes during our stay.
🚰 The shared water pump wasn’t working during our visit.
🚽 The bathhouse was spacious, clean, and only a short walk away.
🚗 A community wagon is parked near the bathhouse for campers to use when hauling gear between their vehicle and campsite. Loved that!
A few tips:
🪵 The Visitor Center sells $6 bundles of firewood and has a nice selection of souvenirs.
🐜 Plenty of flies and large ants, so keep your food put away and your tent zipped.
🪲 Cicadas were loud at night. I loved it, but our 7-year-old slept with his wireless headphones on. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to pack earplugs if you’re camping here June-August.
🎣 We caught more bluegill fishing from our campsite than we did from the fishing dock.
🌅 If you’re looking for one of the best views in the campground and don’t mind sleeping on a slight incline, Site #45 is well worth considering.
Guide to Suwanee
Glamping sites near Suwanee, Georgia typically operate within the Piedmont region at elevations ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet. The area experiences humid subtropical climate with hot summers reaching into the 90s and mild winters rarely dropping below freezing. Lake Lanier provides over 690 miles of shoreline across numerous camping locations where glampers have direct water access for activities.
What to do
Hiking trails with wildlife viewing: At Stone Mountain Park Campground, visitors can explore wooded paths while spotting local fauna. "We saw a lot of beautiful wildlife while hiking. Shower house was clean, laser show fabulous," notes Jennifer T., highlighting the combination of natural and entertainment options.
Mountain biking through woodlands: Fort Yargo State Park Campground maintains shared trails for bikers and hikers with minimal crowding. A camper observed, "Most of the trails are mixed mountain biking and hiking but when we were there, we only saw two mountain bikes." The park spans 260 acres with numerous activity options.
Fishing from shoreline sites: Many Lake Lanier campsites offer direct fishing access without needing to relocate. At Sawnee Campground, sites have easy water entry. "We had a site right on the lake. Did fishing, kids went swimming! Beautiful opening your door and seeing water," reports Lauren W.
What campers like
Waterfront site selection: Bald Ridge Creek offers prime lake access. "Nearly every site is on the Lake, with access to the water. The sites are very well maintained," writes one reviewer. Campsites feature paved drives with reasonable separation between neighbors.
Deer watching opportunities: Don Carter State Park Campground provides regular wildlife sightings, especially during early morning and evening hours. "I went to Don Carter mid week after a holiday and the place was pretty empty... deer were grazing in the primitive camp zones," reports Crystal C., noting the peaceful environment.
Scenic lakeside camping: Shady Grove Campground features sites with direct water views. According to Carey H., "Great state/county campground. Majority of the sites offer direct water access with many sites offering water front views and beach areas." The campground is well-maintained with upgraded facilities.
What you should know
Alcohol restrictions vary: Some campgrounds strictly prohibit alcohol with significant penalties. At Shady Grove, one camper reported, "Ranger pulls up and gave us both tickets... each ticket is $280.00. No warning." Always check regulations before bringing alcoholic beverages.
Train noise considerations: Areas near Stone Mountain and Lake Lanier experience periodic train noise. A camper at Red Top Mountain State Park Campground noted, "There is a train that blows its whistle that will wake you up 3 times each night and also remind you that you are not deep in the woods."
Seasonal availability challenges: Most glamping sites require advance booking, especially for summer weekends. Peak season typically runs May through September, with better availability midweek. As one visitor noted, "Stayed three times August-October with kayaks. Two times had nice lake proximity/view."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Many Lake Lanier campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. A Shady Grove camper mentioned, "There is a nice playground that is walking distance from our favorite camp sites that the kids really love."
Junior Ranger programs: Several state parks offer educational activities for children. At Red Top Mountain State Park, one visitor highlighted, "Friendly staff, with the Jr ranger program still going with the help of adult campers during covid. Still so much fun and so clean and beautiful!!"
Walk-in sites for privacy: Fort Yargo offers secluded options a short distance from parking. "If you're like me and appreciate a bit of privacy when camping, the walk-in campsites at Fort Yargo are the place to go. Just a short 1-2 minutes walk from your car and bathrooms, but you feel much more secluded than the campsites in the regular campground," explains Amalia K.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds feature sloping sites requiring adjustment equipment. At River Forks Park, a reviewer noted, "Only reason for the 4 stars is our site was not level, took some work to level our rig. Also our site needed a little TLC."
Narrow road navigation: Several campgrounds have challenging access roads. A Red Top Mountain visitor cautioned, "Heavily wooded sites that are not well maintained. Very narrow roads in the campground with lots of pot holes. Not the easiest state park to pull a travel trailer in."
Hookup placement issues: At River Forks Park, "Some have hookups on the opposite side of camper." Bring extension cords and hoses to accommodate varied utility locations, which may not align with your RV's connections.
