Fishing, swimming, and riverside camping draw visitors to River Campground, LLC in Lakemont, Georgia, where sites sit directly alongside the Tallulah River. The campground accommodates a range of setups: RV sites with full electric, water, and sewer hookups, primitive tent sites, covered tent shelters that hold up well during multi-day rain, and cabins positioned on the riverbank. Bamboo and pine trees fill the grounds, and a recreation building and playground add infrastructure for families.
Water access is the consistent draw here. Multiple reviewers mention swimming and fishing in the river, and campers report that riverside sites go fast, so booking early makes sense. The campground also sits roughly three miles from Tallulah Gorge, which provides hiking trails and sightseeing within a short drive. Sarah R. notes "clean bathrooms and showers," and the facility includes both indoor and outdoor shower options alongside a dump station and WiFi.
The campground hosts events on some holidays, including live music and fireworks on the Fourth of July, so expect more activity and crowds during peak holiday weekends. Rates run from $20 to $95 per night depending on site type, and pets are allowed. Reservations are available and worth making ahead of time, particularly for summer stays, given the campground's proximity to Windy Sky RV & Cabin Rentals and other options in the area that compete for the same seasonal traffic. Those exploring camping near Lakemont will find this stretch of the Tallulah River corridor draws a steady crowd through warm months.
