Hi Karen,
Hopefully the information I give will give you some insite to Stone Mountain Campground.
We camped there last year and will again this year. We have spot 357 reserved this year. As to your questions, let me take them one at a time.
The campground is inside the park and when checking in, they will give you a park pass ($10.00) so you can enter and leave the campground without having to pay each time. Once inside the park, all parking is free.
They also have a shuttle going from the campground to the tourist side of the park.(I believe for an extra charge. We normally drive to the other side.) Walking there would take about an hour, however it is possible. They also have a golf course near the campground and fishing on the docks that are at the campground.
Riding bicycles is good exercise and you can cover alot of stone mountain with it. There are lots of trails and paths for hiking, riding etc, including a walking trail to the top of stone mountain (no bikes allowed) or you can take the skylift there. They also have museums and other sites, shops and if you have any children, they will enjoy the rope climbs and other games there.
Make sure you catch one of the laser shows. It will be the same show for the 3rd, 4th and 5th.
You can probably cover most of the sites in the park in a week and I wouldn't think a yearly pass would be needed. I live about 2 hours from there and I just get the pass as I need it.
Since you are using the campground, you can get a discount arm band for most of the things in the park. Saves a lot of money that way.
If you see me there, stop by for some coffee. Hope this helped clear some questions for you.
