Stone Mountain GA Camping?

Anyone ever camped at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta? We went to Stone Mountain, Braves game, and Six Flags on vacation about 10 years ago. I'd like to go back and stay in the camper this time. Camp ground looks pretty nice from web. Anyone ever camped here????

  • It's a nice campground, and you'll enjoy it.

    Don't be surprised at their one time "gate fee" of $15 when you enter the park.

    Be sure to use the correct entrance. Info from their welcome email message below:

    In addition, please be aware that you will encounter a "low clearance underpass" with a minimum clearance of 12 feet if your GPS directions route you to the "West Gate" of Stone Mountain Park via James B. River/Memorial Drive. To avoid this low clearance underpass, you should enter the Park using the "East Gate" via Exit 8 on US78.

    Georgia Parks have got the NITS (nats) These little buggers crawl in every hole in your head, your eyes are favorite places. They can ruin being in the
    outdoors down there. They are not always there, check for season that they
    are visiting the park and stay away.

    The "gnat line", as it's called around here, is actually well below Atlanta and shouldn't be an issue at all. However, travelnman is correct, areas that have gnats can be very unpleasant as the weather warms up. Probably not terrible right now, but in a few weeks you won't want to camp anywhere south of Macon without some serious bug spray!
  • At the 2014 Tampa RV Show we won 2 nights free camping at Stone Mountain. First time we ever won anything from an RV Show vendor raffle. We ended up going this past January for their Snow Mountain attractions.

    The campground was relatively quiet. It got below freezing both nights and being on the lake it was pretty windy (it was windy enough the first day that the cable car didn't run). We were at site 335 on Trail M. It was a great site, right across the lake from the mountain itself. It was a pretty level site, good enough that we didn't bother leveling for a 2 day trip. Since it was free, we were happy with it. I think it would have been close to $50/night with taxes, etc.
