Stone Mountain Park Campground welcomes pets at all tent, RV, cabin, and glamping sites with no additional pet fees. Leashed dogs are permitted throughout the campground, with rules requiring waste cleanup and barking control. Several campgrounds around Lake Lanier, including Sawnee, Bald Ridge Creek, and Old Federal, also accommodate pets with convenient access to shorelines and walking paths. The sites at Sawnee Campground provide lake views from nearly every campsite, though some visitors report uneven enforcement of campground rules regarding pets and noise. Most Lake Lanier campgrounds maintain water and electrical hookups with fire rings and picnic tables suitable for camping with dogs.
Fort Yargo State Park Campground offers designated pet exercise areas with trail access for leashed dogs. Dogs are allowed to swim in designated lake sections away from human swimming areas, with waste stations positioned throughout the campground. Margaritaville RV Resort features premium amenities including full hookups and spacious sites that accommodate pets, earning perfect 5-star ratings from visitors with dogs. The Wesley Oaks RV Park charges an additional $50 monthly pet fee on top of the standard rates. When hiking with dogs at these campgrounds, visitors should be aware of wildlife and carry sufficient water, especially during Georgia's hot summer months. Veterinary services are available in Cumming and Buford, both within 20-30 minute drives from most campgrounds in the area.

ScoutThey have plenty of pads for pull behinds or the fancy RV. Plenty of hookups for all your needs. 2 pools, weight room, live music, restaurant, bar, dog park, dog bath, and close to all local stores.
RangerThis campground has a beautiful mountain view behind the lake. There is also a beautiful waterfall to hike to. They offer paddle boards, kayaks, peddleboats, and aqua cycles to rent for the lake. They also offer bike rentals and putt putt course. There is a general store in the visitor center. There are hiking trails for the extreme hikers too that go into the mountains on the Appalachian trail. The campsites are pretty close together, but we had a premier spot that was larger and a pull-through. The bathrooms were clean, but old and dated. This is one of the oldest campgrounds in the state. They offer cottages and cabins for rent. There was a dog parking loud constantly that was so annoying. We have dogs and many people camping there did, but our dogs don’t bark constantly. I would say this isn’t the campgrounds fault, but this irresponsible pet owner was literally between two campground hosts. Had it continued late at night past 10pm we would have had to call someone. It’s hard to relax by the fire with a dog barking constantly. The campground needs to add more signage. People are driving around looking lost. Here’s the problem ... if you have an RV or camper and park in the RV spaces when you pull out on the far end to the right you cannot see the directional signs. We pulled to the right and it was a dead end at the cottages. It was very stressful trying to the turn around hauling a camper. People in the cottages told us we weren’t the only ones to pull down there and have to turn around. Lots of cars were turning around down there, but with a camper it’s a nightmare. I paid extra for a pullthrough only to deal with that nonsense at the start. I suggest adding a sign at the far right exit of parking lot that has directions. Add another sign that says “Cabins only - Dead End”. If our camper had been an inch longer we couldn’t have turned around. Not impressed by the swimming area at the beach.
ScoutThis Campground is amazing. The woman in the office is so nice and very helpful. They have workers escort you to your site to make sure everything is OK. The man who escorted us was very nice, and made sure we knew where everything was (even after being told at the office). I loved that. The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, ect). I'd recommend this place 1,000 times over!!!
GuideLived 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.
GuideAwesome hiking. Extremely pet friendly, lakeside campsite
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.
ScoutWe are at spot 97 and was suppose to get 44. The host at the front office gave us a different spot that would be easier access to our 40ft 5th wheel. The view is fantastic. We brought 2 dogs which they enjoyed the scenery. They are firm on making sure pet owners have their leash on and do not free roam. A lot of deer just walking around. Bathrooms are in good shape. We plan on staying a week. No Wi-Fi so we are using hotspots on our cells. We have Verizon and showing 2 bar LTE.
LegendWe arrived and had an easy check-in since this was our third stay at Talona Ridge, again to attend an RV rally. After check-in, we headed to pull-through buddy site H-25 with full hookups in the lower level of the campground, which had three levels total. The cement pad was plenty long enough to position the rig for the sewer connection at the back of the pad, while still allowing us to put the patio down and park our F450 fully on the site. Water pressure was solid at 55–60 psi. Since this was a newer RV park, there were not many mature trees yet, so satellite connectivity was not an issue. We had 3 bars on Verizon and 2 bars of 5G on T-Mobile, and we chose to use our T-Mobile Home Internet instead of Starlink, which delivered 70.1 Mbps download speeds. The campground WiFi was above average as well, testing at 64 Mbps download. There was a shower house with laundry near this site, equipped with two large washers and dryers, and the laundry app made the process convenient. We enjoyed the large dog park, along with plenty of additional areas to walk our pups. Talona Ridge had a lot to offer and remained one of our favorite campgrounds—it truly felt like a resort.
GuideFort Yargo is in the Winder Ga area and is close to Helen, Jefferson, Athens and Atlanta. Entering the campground is a nice paved road and leads to tent camping, cabins, yurts and RV sites.
Very clean park and has Historical area, playground, tennis court, bike and hike trails. Not to mention beach and boating area.
Picnics, camping, boating biking and camping or just day use areas. Pet friendly and all around great park.
There is a small general store, but you are so close to everything if you need it, it's there.
Gread for the Georgia Bulldog crowd as its less then 30 minutes!
I recommend this park highly.
Campsites near Suwanee, Georgia sit along the shores of Lake Lanier, a 38,000-acre reservoir with 692 miles of shoreline created by Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River. The region experiences hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through August, while spring and fall offer milder temperatures in the 60-70°F range. Most campgrounds in the area open from March through November, with several Corps of Engineers sites offering lakefront access with concrete pads for easier RV setup.
Hiking opportunities: Fort Yargo State Park offers varied trail experiences for hikers with dogs. "Great hiking. Most of the trails are mixed mountain biking and hiking but when we were there, we only saw two mountain bikes. We took a picnic lunch with us and found one of the many picnic areas to have lunch and enjoy the lake views," notes Nancy W.
Fishing access: Bolding Mill provides excellent fishing opportunities directly from campsites. "Another gem on Lake Lanier with great views and good fishing. COE Campground. Easy access. Great host, very helpful and very polite," shares Mike K. The campground's proximity to deeper water makes it ideal for bass fishing.
Water activities: Duckett Mill offers multiple water access points for recreation. "Easy to get too. Great location on Lake Lanier. The sites are very large and trees between most sites. Lots of water view sites, some have easier lake access from your site than others for our kayaks. Has boat launch, huge beach area," writes Liz H., highlighting the various water options available.
Wildlife viewing: Stone Mountain Park provides opportunities to observe local wildlife in their natural habitat. "We had an amazing visit!! All the staff were extremely helpful and sweet.
