30 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Vogel State Park Campground and Trackrock Campground & Cabins welcome pets at their facilities in Georgia's scenic Blue Ridge Mountains. Both campgrounds accommodate various camping styles including tent, RV, cabins, and glamping options for visitors traveling with animals. The campsites feature picnic tables, fire rings, and access to clean showers and toilets while maintaining pet-friendly policies throughout their grounds. Trackrock offers additional amenities including a camp store where campers can purchase supplies and firewood for their stay. Sites at Georgia Mountain Fair Campground near Lake Chatuge occasionally experience overflow trash during peak periods, though the serene lakefront locations and mountain views compensate for minor inconveniences.
Bald Mountain Camping Resort's creekside sites provide a relaxing environment where pets can enjoy the sounds of flowing water. The resort features multiple pet exercise areas, a private fishing lake with catch-and-release policy, and recreational amenities including mini-golf, paddle boats, and two playgrounds. Leashed pets are permitted throughout most areas of the pet-friendly campgrounds near Young Harris, though some hiking trails in surrounding forests may have specific restrictions during hunting seasons or wildlife protection periods. Temperature fluctuations in the mountains require pet owners to prepare for cooler evenings even during summer months. Previous visitors note that Fires Creek Hunt Camp, while offering beautiful water access, sometimes struggles with site maintenance and may require campers to perform cleanup before setting up.

"The tent camp site was good, bathrooms and water were a close walking distance.
We picked this state park for all the activities. We took archery lessons and did the zip line course.""Perched on the side of the beautiful Georgia mountains, I feel as if you're 1,000,000 miles away from the madness."

"The only lakeside site available was #20. That was probably because it was small (~25' max). But the view was great. Sites are well maintained."

GuideLeft Pigeon Forge Tn. GPS took us on an adventure, route 129 The Tail of the Dragon 318 curves switchback and hairpins I was nervous but slayed it. Lol. Peachtree Cove RV Park is perfect for quiet camping. Dog run area stream or river at most sites. I had a reservation at Andrew’s Valley Railway Tour highly recommend both of these
ScoutI camped here with a friend last weekend and absolutely loved this place! It's a cute little site with a great host, clean bathrooms, free firewood, and super friendly dogs, goats, and people. I would for sure stay here again and recommend.
GuideParksville Lake RV Campground is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic stay here. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the sites are nice, spacious, and wonderfully shaded by the trees. We loved the layout of the RV loop, especially the outer section where a peaceful creek flows right past the sites—the sound of the water at night was perfect. The restrooms and showers were exceptionally clean and well-kept. I had Starlink connectivity at my site and my WeBoost cell signal booster gave me up to three bars on AT&T. The campground host was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful. It's a wonderful, relaxing spot, and I will definitely be back!
ScoutWe stayed for a week in late October. Quiet and secluded but right outside of Franklin. Very. Nicely decorated. Has small campstore, very nice laundryroom, and a guest event center. Rick, the campsite host, helped me get backed in and asked if I needed any more help. Some pull-throughs. Some sites are a little tight but others really nice. We will definitely come back.
ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
GuideA sign on the gate says that the area has been closed "due to vandalism and unauthorized activity".
GuideThis is one of several USFS campgrounds that are within a few miles of each other. The cost is only $8/night, first come first served. The sites are fairly large with about half of them on a wide, clear creek. There is no running water, but there are bear proof trash cans and vault toilets that were fairly clean, but didn't smell great.
There is free potable water and an RV dump station about a mile away at the North River Game Checking Station on River Road near the Spivey Cove campground..
The campsite was clean with picnic table, fire ring, and a lantern post. The fire ring was almost full of ashes and it appears that campers have to clean them out themselves.
The Green Cove Angler store is a couple miles away and has ice, firewood and other camper things.
Unfortunately, while we were there, it was bear hunting season and another camper had multiple barking and baying dogs that went on and on for hours.
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
