McIntosh Reserve Park's pet-friendly sites accommodate tent and RV camping on the Chattahoochee River with no designated sites, allowing campers to select their preferred spot with a fire pit. Pets must remain leashed throughout the 527-acre park while exploring the hiking and equestrian trails. Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground similarly welcomes pets at both their standard campground and riverside platform sites, providing clean bathroom facilities with showers accessible to all campers. Banning Mills Treehouses offers a more upscale pet-friendly option with cabin and glamping accommodations behind secure gated access. All three parks maintain clean grounds suitable for pets, though McIntosh Reserve's bathroom facilities receive mixed reviews for cleanliness and accessibility from the campsites. The splash pad and playground areas at McIntosh provide additional recreation options for families camping with dogs.
River access varies among the pet-friendly campgrounds, with McIntosh Reserve offering direct riverfront camping where dogs can explore the shoreline while their owners fish. The river's strong current makes swimming unsafe for pets and humans alike, with clear signage prohibiting water entry. Several miles of wooded trails throughout the parks provide excellent exercise opportunities for leashed dogs, with McIntosh featuring the 2-mile Eagle Loop Trail suitable for hiking with pets. Chattahoochee Bend offers 14 miles of well-maintained hiking trails through lush forest settings where evening fireflies enhance the camping experience. Campers should bring portable water bowls as water access points are limited at some dog-friendly campsites, particularly at McIntosh Reserve where running water is primarily available at the bathhouse near the old ranger station rather than at individual sites.

ScoutStaff is great and his campground allows campfires. Pet friendly with two dog parks. Great pool and has cabins and yurts to reserve. Less than three miles from Callaway Gardens and FDR Park. Town of Pine Mountain...two street lights...very quaint sidewalk shops! This place is a hidden treasure.
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.
LegendStayed at site 13, level gravel sites with picnic table on concrete pad, fire ring, FHU. Extended stays at the back of park and closer to hwy 20. There is a nice dog park, playground, covered pavilion, laundry room, dated bathroom, but clean. Shirley reserved our spot, and helped us pull through,and hook up, with our new RV! There is a little path/bridge, so We walked over to Camping World to get our bigger RV. The next morning, we had a few questions, so the Camping World service employee, came over (on a golf cart)to answer them. We decided to stay another night, and it was easy enough for Shirley to extend our reservation. If we were in the area again we would go back. There is a lot to do in the area….Talladega National Forest, Talladega SuperSpeedway and Cheaha State Park.T-Mobile was good, and paid about $30 night with Good Sam Discount. This Campground is also known as CWGS Campground of Oxford.
GuideAwesome grounds in a family and pet friendly atmosphere. Neighbors were kind and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful time. Walking the grounds was nice and hilly. There’s also trails in between areas and around the campground. If you like the water, bring your trunks, kayaks, and poles.
TravelerNice little lake to play on and around. Very family and pet friendly. Restrooms and showers exceptionally clean. Not alot of paid spots with water electricity and first come first serve so no reservations. Plenty of dispersed throughout the area though.
TravelerRed Red Top is one of my favorite spots when I need a quick Wilderness cat away from the city. It is always well taken care of, and the sites have easy access to the lake which is nice for sunrise, sunset and relaxing in a hammock. The sites are clean and easy to find, and the campground is only accessible with an access code in the evenings.
LegendOld Hwy 41 No 3 Campground is a COE campground on Lake Allatoona, about an hour North of Atlanta. The campground is only open May till September.

The gate is open from 7 AM until 10:30 PM. NO ONE gets in after hours!
