Stone Mountain Park, Ga and campground

My family and I stayed at Stone Mountain Campground (site 339) for a week during the July 4th 2014 holiday.

First the bad: Our rig is a 27' R-Vision Trail Lite Sport TT with a slide out. Even though we went as far as possible to the edge towards the utilities, we still couldn't open our awning all of the way. It must be said that these sites are raised and you can only go to the edge of the raised border. The sites are awkwardly set up; many of the sites have the fire pit situated right next to the trail (road). Some of the sites are quite difficult to get into; we saw a fifth wheel eventually get into a spot, only due to the cooperation of a couple of neighbors being willing to move their vehicles.

Now the good: The park was very quiet. Nearly all of our neighbors were really nice people. The site was level. We were on the lake facing the mountain and the view was awesome. We moved the fire pit down to the lake; this is where it should have been in the first place. Access to the park was a major plus and having a shuttle during the July 4th holiday was a life saver. The amenities were quite adequate for campers, including laundry facilities. Bicycling was nice, but some of the hills can be challenging, especially for those who are looking for a leisurely ride. The park was great and we really enjoyed hiking up the mountain (earning those high calorie meals).

Overall, it was a great experience, but I would ask around to see which sites are appropriate for your rig. The site can make or break your camping experience.
