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.

GuideHigh Falls State Park Campground
Pleasant...but was crowded. The loop we stayed in was filled with a family reunion . But for the most part. Very friendly and wasn't loud. The park is convenient to I-75 (9miles).
Very family friendly. Lots of free range children (weekend). The staff was very friendly. The bath house was clean and well maintained. Had a front loader washer and dryer x1. $2 apiece. Lots of trails. Three night stay. The cell phone service was the biggest downfall since we rely on a Verizon hot spot. At&t was a no data available. Verizon had two bars where we were at.

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.

Victoria Campground
may be surrounded by others, but all respectful and peaceful!
Honestly it was so super easy. Just reserve a spot in the recreation.gov app, pull to the entrance camp host gate, get your paper pass after checking in, and you’re good to go! Need to book longer? Go in the app and if your site is available just make a new booking and tell the camp hosts!

Family Park with Easy Access Convenient to Atlanta, Georgia
Wonderful park in the metro Atlanta area. Friendly staff willing to assist in many ways as you would expect from a family owned park. I found the lady in the front office friendly and willing to give local advice and assistance on some questions I had. Located less than a mile of 85 North, it is a great location to stay when visiting Atlanta, Georgia. Most spots are long pull-throughs, but some can be close together. Quiet despite being in metro atlanta. It could use a refresh of some landscaping but otherwise it was a nice place to stay.

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.

Do Not Recommend - Long Term Perspective
Since Google reviews are being removed, prospective tenants deserve to know the reality of living here.
The manager of 16 years up and left within days of a tenant's RV catching fire. This manager would threaten tenants and slap a fine on anyone who spoke up or stood up to his tyrannical behavior. He was a hot head with a criminal history. Multiple tenants attempted to contact management about a number of documented incidents with him. Now that he has left, they put another hot headed manager in charge who has threatened NEW TENANTS literally parking their RVs. Long term residents sent in multiple emails in favor of another resident to be manager as he helps everyone and can do everything. Management does not care about the tenants or property. The property is not maintained nor look like the images they post online.

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.
