Best Campgrounds near Whitesburg, GA

Great place well kept.

No cell coverage, has fire pit, mostly tent and car campers. I went with a travel trailer.

Our family had a great time camping… we are locals and this was a trial run with our new camper. The camping community here is great! The facilities are definitely dated but we didn’t have to use them so I can’t say what they were inside. The playground was fun for my kiddos although it really wasn’t age appropriate for our 3 year old twins very well. I’m not sure if it was just because it was 4/20 weekend but the only drawback was the pretty regular smell of the devils lettuce… I used to partake myself so I’m not downing any ones way of relaxing. We probably will not be back as I enjoy a little bit more family friendly environments these days.

I have been to Red Top Mountain countless times, but haven’t ever camped here until today. The campground is nice, signs are easy to follow, camp sites are in nice shape and the bathrooms are clean. Over all great campsite

This was my first time camping at this camp site, I chose a spot off their map and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations, just beautiful, enough privacy between campers but not so secluded for a solo camper, the employees were nice the bathrooms an showers were clean, I will definitely be back in summer or fall when there is no pollen lol!

Just called the park they are no longer nightly or weekly they only do long-term.

I always enjoy staying overnight and enjoying a fire in the provided fire /cooking circle.

 There is plenty of room for all my fishing tackle, coolers, and chairs in each spot. The area is very well kept and far out from large roads  so it is always quiet enough to hear the birds. Almost every time I camp here i see a bald eagle flying over the river.

Red Top Mountain State Park is an incredible spot for a camping getaway. I love campgrounds that offer both nature and comfort, good hiking trails, a peaceful lake, and hot showers are definitely a win. The fact that they have rental cottages and yurts makes it a great choice for people who want a more relaxed camping experience too. The only thing I’d be cautious about is those narrow roads, but once you're set up, it seems totally worth it. If anyone needs to sort out travel plans to get there, you can always call Avianca customer service for flights.

Clark Creek was the third campground we stayed at. And being that I had spent the most part of my teens and early twenties living literally in the neighborhood across the road it felt like home. We will be back there soon.

This the second campground that we stayed in Woodstock Georgia. Payne on Kellogg Creek Road was another great experience. We will be returning soon.

This isnt for backpackers but for camping with your family, its good. They have water and outlets and very very clean bathrooms. Like cleaner than a Publix bathroom. Kid friendly.

First time I came here, I was about 12 years old. I returned when I bought my first camper at 34 years old and wanted to test it out for the first time. 3rd time, I brought my wife to show this amazing place. Great camping spots with lots of trees and a creek running through. Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area. The visitor center has a real cool shop and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Will certainly return again.

Place is really quiet and the pond is full of fish . DNR comes through every week to check permits and talk . Really good guys down there but have your permit to be on property.

We love camping here. Staff are friendly and helpful. Campground is clean and really nice. We love it!

Red Top Mountain State Park is beautiful and Lake Allatoona is large.  Campsite 50 is a premium tent only walk-in site (a few dollars more).  It sits on a point that sticks out in the lake.  There is no shade or tree cover, so it's not "private".  There are 3 other sites near by on the walk-in area and there are no boundaries or barriers between so your neighbors are in full view.  There is no electric near the tent pad, the electric pole is 150+ feet away near the parking area.  You probably could run 175 feet of electric extension cord... but it would have to run past the three other sites... so don't plan for electric.  There is water right by the pad with a ton of pressure.  The tent pad was large but extremely hard to drive tent stakes into... smaller stakes worked better.  The bathhouse was an uphill hike probably 300 ft away but was modern and clean with hot showers and good water pressure.  The park is clean and scenic.  The staff is very courteous, friendly and helpful.  There are plenty of opportunities to hike, fish and boat.

This park is about 30-40 minutes outside of Atlanta right off of I-75.  If you are in a tent... you will hear I-75 traffic all night so keep in mind, that while it looks like country, you are not deep in nature... the drone of the highway will remind you.  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.  The winding roads through the park outside the campground also seemed to be very popular with motorcyclists who like loud pipes.

The name Red Top Mountain is derived from the red soil in the area that was popular for the mining of abundant iron ore.  But don't look for "mountains" here... you have to travel further north for more dramatic elevation.  

Overall, a nice park, pretty scenery but not as secluded, quiet and relaxing as expected for tent camping.

We did an overnighter to check this out after doing a separate hike on the primary trails from the other side of the park in the morning. 

Getting to the campsite was simple enough and it is the quoted 3/4 mile walk in. It was great to see some families utilizing the space. There is good cell reception (T-Mobile)

Very peaceful and even had the sounds of a vibrant coyote pack.
