We are currently staying in Stone Mountain Park, nice campground, views of the lake and mountain. Nice sites, cable TV and WiFi (know that it may be important for the kids ;-) ). It's about 30 minutes away from Atlanta (Aquarium, Coca Cola, CNN, Centennial Park). There are many things to do right here in the park, especially in the nicer weather. Senoia (Walking Dead filming location) is about an hour away. If you choose to venture further east Savannah is a great place to visit and we really liked staying at Skidaway Island State Park Campground - it's very nice, large sites, a well appointed park. While there take a trolley tour throughout the Savannah downtown, you can park in the Visitor Center and book whichever tour you decide to take right there. I'd recommend to start out early in the day to fully take advantage of the tour experience. The Bonaventure Cemetery is worth a visit, several interesting grave sites to see, pick up a map in the office. If you visit Savannah you may want to see the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" prior to going. It gives you a little feel for the city and the murder referenced in the movie actually occurred in Savannah and is mentioned on the tour.
