Stone Mountain campground

The loop I stayed on was rather steep and needed a LOT of leveling. On the other hand, the lakeside sites were great. The sites are also well-separated so you're not right on top of your neighbors. Bring a sense of humor, good levelers and excellent chocks!

Excellent advice! We have stayed at Stone Mountain many times over the years as we had friends who lived in that side of Atlanta and it was most convenient for visits with them.

I remember one time, a good many years ago, when we were assigned a site which required a great effort on my part to level our fifth-wheel. As I was struggling, a vehicle stopped on the roadway and a very friendly gentleman said, "I believe you could get a better site than that." I replied that I wished I could, but felt I should try the site to which I had been assigned. Turned out, he was the park manager and told me to to go back up to the office and get a list of sites that would be better from which I could choose. I remember the slip of paper on which those numbers were written. I took a look at those sites and selected one that was much better in every way from that original site.

Don't expect such an experience. It never happened again. But it helps to keep a good attitude and make the best of the situation in whatever park you are in. The need to level is certainly a part of the "character" of Stone Mountain, but it is still my favorite in the Atlanta area.
