We stayed here the weekend of July 4th and all in all, we enjoyed our time here. We liked the proximity to the wineries and Yonah Mountain Trail, and the quietness of the campground. We didn’t get to spend much time outside because there was a family of ducks walking around looking for food all hours of the day and they drove our dogs crazy. Owners are nice and all the hookups worked well, but aside from sleeping and cooking, we spent most of our time away from the campground.
Great, quiet park with lots of walking and biking trails nearby. All the sites are wooded and spaced out so you don’t have any issues with privacy. From what we could tell, all of the sites have direct lake access. We visited in July and because of the tree coverage, we were able to sit outside most of the day without getting too hot. This is definitely one of our new favorite parks!
The location is great..it’s less than 2 miles to the beach, grocery store and several restaurants/bars, but still seems secluded and has the true ‘camping’ feel. The amenities are nice (pool, ponds, gazebos, etc.) and the campground was well-kept. The sites are close but with all of the trees/foliage, there is plenty of privacy.
We stayed here in December to visit the lights at Callaway Gardens. You can’t book your site in advance, just the site type. We booked a premium pull-thru spot. When we arrived, there were a ton of open spots but they put us next to other campers.
The sites are long and ours was pretty level, but they are not in the best shape. The patio area was overgrown and essentially non-existent. The sewer hookup looked like it had been run over and was being held up with a rock.
At $70/night with taxes, the price is high for what you get.
We stayed in the River Camping Area - Loop D. The campground felt secluded and the sites were spacious. We enjoyed hiking Falls Trail with our two dogs and checking out some of the nearby cities - Jackson & Forsyth.
A few things to note: the internet is VERY spotty and the sites are not level. The entrance is very dark at night and the road is narrow and windy, so try to arrive before dark if you can.
We had a great weekend getaway here. We reserved an Orange Site overlooking the lake and highly recommend it. Every Saturday in December, there is a golf cart parade through the campground. The golf carts and RVs are decorated and everyone is in the holiday spirit. Plus, Stone Mountain has a whole Christmas celebration which provides lots of activities. Will definitely return!
