    Every site has a great view

    Last minute we realized we buttoned up our businesses for the holidays and we're looking for different sceneries. Booking a site is extremely easy and organized with their online tool. I cant speak for an RV perspective but for the primitive sites I don't think you can go wrong selecting a site. What is primitive? No it's not Naked and Afraid where were gallivanting with no shelter or tools. It's also not in the luxury of an RV or electric shelter; just plain ole tent camping. Our family is used to no amenities, no bathrooms, and especially no service. That can also be why my review tends to sway on the positive side. That being said it is pricier than a 12.00 state park donation. With a pool, facilities, hot showers, recreational activities, and 30 minutes from beautiful Hot-lanta (Atlanta) you cant pay enough for the convenience and safety. At the campgrounds you can expect trash pick up, friendly service, and a scenery that will remind you God made this Earth. Overall this is definitely a must camp area!

    We LOVED our stay! Beautiful view (we were on M), clean, so easy to get around the park, lots of trees and animals.

    Do NOT stay in the yurts. We camped here last year with RV's and saw the yurts while walking around the campgrounds. Horrible idea. They are so far from the bathrooms so it got old quick having to make that hike every time. The heat hardly worked which we were forewarned upon check in so it was a guessing game trying to get it to work and to what temp it would reach. The beds. Wow. Prob the original mattresses from when these things were built. So old, warn down, thin, uncomfortable, loud & squeaky. There are only 4 outlets total inside the yurt so I'd recommend bringing an extension strip with extra outlets. The fan blades are warped and the fan didn't work not that we needed it. We made the best of it and enjoyed our stay but I do NOT recommend the yurts.

    Camping at Stone Mountain during Covid-19 did offer a different experience than one would normally expect in some ways. The attractions were shutdown which dramatically reduced the crowds even though it was Memorial Day Weekend, it was great that there were no crowds but kind of a bummer that there wasn't much to do inside the park but camp which was fine by me, I came here to view the sights of course but didn't look forward to the amusement park atmosphere a normal non-covid camping trip would of provided here. This campground apparently sets it's overnight camping fees based on the popularity of the park not its amenities, it's seems a little expensive for the condition of the camp sites, access roads and over-all appearance. We has to be relocated several times due to poor condition of the sites we originally picked when we booked the trip. The extreme elevation issues were a little more than a challenge, it was nearly impossible to level our 38 foot motor coach even after relocating three times. The staff was very helpful and apologetic admitting they do recognize the issues and told us the park's planned renovations will address these types of issues (this would of been nice to know at the time we booked, especially since we submitted our Motorhome specifications and they matched to specific sites to our camper). Oh it wasn't all bad by any means - this campground provided a home base allowing us to explore things outside the park although the cramped site we ended up in still was disappointing but we dealt with it. The site was on the top of a hill and shady which provided some protection when the torrential rains came through one late afternoon, I think those below us may have experienced some issues with the Georgia red clay laden water streamed toward the tent sites, thankfully we didn't have to deal with that. The sections we were in was fairly quite (site 252) this trail seemed to be filled more with longer term campers and some sites almost looked like full time residential and a bit trashy honestly. Speaking of trash - the staff routinely made rounds to pick the trash which you only needed to place near the entrance of your site (the squirrels are everywhere and the have the run of the place so beware they will shred your garbage bags and strewn it's contents everywhere). The park does offer some beautiful settings for hiking along the lake and it seems everyone was out each day taking advantage of this. I don't think I'd return although it's a nice green space in close proximity to the Atlanta urban sprawl. The pricing verses amenities makes this a been there done that type of place for me...

    The park is beautiful. The people are nice. However, the site we had (and at least half of the others) were very unlevel. The asphalt was broken and there was a large useless slab of concrete in the way of our steps. Some of the people staying there seemed to be long term residents, according to the amount of trash and things in their yards. Some of the roads also were very unlevel, with pits and bumps that will jerk the vehicles around. There were some loops that were better than others, but be very careful when you choose sites.

    I'm on a cross country road trip and Stone Mountain Campground was my first stop. After driving 10 hours I needed a place to stop, I was expecting much but I was not expecting such a great campground. I couldn't have planned for a better first stop. Not only was this my first stop but this was also my first time camping in a camper, I've always camped with a tent. The campground has wifi and they RV sites with full hookups like electricity, water, cable, sewage, and sites with only electric and water which is where I stayed. They also have tent only sites and they have Yurt rentals. Wifi? Yes Pets? Yes Full Hookup? Yes Tent only sites? Yes I was here for 4 nights and stayed in blue site 397 on Trail O Here's what I loved about the campground. It's beautiful and it's clean, clean clean, The grounds, bathrooms, showers and laundry room where very clean. Everytime I walked into the bathroom it appeared as if someone had just cleaned them and the washer was literally sparkling. There are plenty of activities like kayak and SUP rentals, there's also hiking trails. I hiked up to Stone Mountain to watch the sunset and that was the highlight of my stay ( other than clean bathrooms.) If you want to walk from the campground it's an 8mile round trip. There is however a parking lot across the way from the walkup trail and that hike is only a mile up. If you don't want to hike you can take the cable car to the top of the mountain. There are restaurants inside the park as well and they have a free laser show that might be great for families, the laser show was not my thing. If you're on their website trying to decide where to stay i'll give you a brief overview. Tent only sites: I walked by and they were all great, they all had a lake view. Blue Sites: These are for RV's of all sizes and they have back-in as well as pull through sites. These have water, electricity and wifi. They are the furthest from the entrance/ pool area so they're more quiet and peaceful. Tail O has many sites with a lake view. Some of my favorite spots: 389,391,414,415,416 ( all back-in) Red Sites: For Rv's of all sizes with pull-through and back-in sites. These have full hookups. Trail M site 341, 340 are some of the best ones if you want a view of Stone Mountain and the Lake. Lime Green Sites: For Rv's of all sizes with pull-through and back-in sites. These have full hookups. Purple Sites: These are for RV's of all sizes and they have back-in as well as pull through sites. These have a wooden decks, gas grill with propane included, full hookups. Close to the entrance and close to the pool, volleyball courts, playground and campground store. These and the orange sites would be my last pick because they are the busiest. I prefer to be as isolated as possible. Orange Sites: : These are for RV's of all sizes and they have back-in as well as pull through sites. (these sites where my least favorite) I posted a youtube video with a tour of the campground where you can get a better idea of the place.

    We walked around the park to check out all of the campsite loops. I will be honest, I am glad that we were staying in site 150. I think the loop behind the office is the nicest loop. There are some sites on the other loops that are closer to the lake and a little more secluded, but our road was a lot smoother than the others and we were up on a hill which allowed us to see the lake and the top of Stone Mountain. Our site was also across the street from a comfort station which was nice. The campground has a pool and a small playground. There is a lot to do in the park. There are plenty of hiking trails. I recommend taking the trail up to the top of the mountain, if that is too strenuous, take the gondola up and then hike down. Take a ride across the covered bridge and walk around Indian Island. Take a bike ride around the outside loop(7.5 miles) of the park with some nice uphill and downhill sections. The campground was well taken care of, unfortunately the park is showing some signs of age and not being kept up. There are some areas of the park that could use a little TLC. Overall it is a nice campground and I would stay here again if I was visiting the park.

    You are jam packed in here. Its a big park and they have a bunch of RVs here. Check in was easy, general store was sufficient. You have to pay $20 to drive into the park, after that you do not have to pay any more bit still, I thought that was double dipping by Stone Mountain Park. Site had a grill, firepit and a bench. Trash was picked up on schedule and WiFi is nonexistent.

    Landscapers raining wood chips and saw dust on my tent.

    Tree cutters woke me up at 8am, rained wood chips all over my tent and hit me with them, and got saw dust all up in my tent and eyeballs. Front office refunded $25 for this. Rangers were not rude or invasive this trip. Nice weather. Great lake and mountain views. You can come and go any time day or night.

    We had time to kill so decided to take a walk in the woods!…read more We paid our fee at the front office and parked to hike on the trails, Loved stopping by the creek and watch the kids fishing and a couple throwing fetch toys for their dogs in the creek. We walked some of the trails and it was so peaceful. There is something about walking in the woods that always brings inner peace. We circled back to the creek and watched the kayakers come through. Looks like a nice trip on the water! Would come here again it is really a nice spot to get away and enjoy nature.

    I'm a yes and no kinda person when it comes to this campground. Yes, it's beautiful. Situated right…read moreon Lake Lanier this campground offers many beautiful views. No on that it's not a great campground. It needs A LOT of work. Sadly I don't think it's owner, Margaritaville, is interested in investing in it. It could be a wonderful place to spend a week camping but it has a long way to go. Luckily they have a great start in choosing the camp hosts that they have! Josh and Tessa were wonderful to us during our stay. You see...it snowed! This rarely happens but they were very helpful during this tragic event. This is Georgia. We don't do snow! Especially in a 30' Class A with a slide out! They had the perfect solution to protect our slide out awning from this hideous white powder substance that has no business traveling south of the Mason-Dixon Line - beach balls! Ok the campground. That's what your here for after all. So there are a lot of great spots to camp here but it truly is hit or miss. You can't choose a good site from their terrible website. It lies. We started out at site #56 which we chose off of said terrible website. Do not chose this site. It is a broken ankle or back waiting to happen. The asphalt is all chewed up and stepping out of your camper is an accident waiting to happen. Honestly it's like this on many, many, many of their sites. We immediately asked to move. Not only was this site a hospital visit in the making but our Rig didn't fit. We would've been filing a claim with our insurance when someone came around the bend too fast. That would have been quite the rude awakening! I wanna go in my sleep but not THAT way! So we moved to site 67 which was WAY better. Still needed a lot of work but I could sleep! We initially booked here for one week. This one week turned into 4 weeks due to snow, our granddaughters's birth, a dead battery in our Toad and a flood in the house we own in FloweryBranch. So....Josh and Tessa....Angels here on Earth! They helped us with the costs by recommending weekly rates, Sams Club discounts and much much more! I seriously can't tout them enough! They were great! We ended up spending the majority of our stay here on site #78. We had a beautiful lakeside site with a picnic table, fire pit and lantern hook. We didn't use any of these since it was even too cold to sit by a fire! The site itself is in need of repair but it was level and quiet and the campsites are really spaced out well. You have plenty of privacy! This site needed new railroad tie steps and the asphalt the camper sits on needs to be redone. This is pretty much true of every site here. The bathhouse near us wasn't working due to a tree falling on it. There are a LOT of downed trees here. There are also a LOT of deer! And the deer aren't super shy either. Maybe it was the weather....who knows. I'm giving this campground 3 stars because of the staff. There was another couple there running the campground who we didn't get to know but were friendly and helpful as well. But here's my overall opinion on just the campground: Uncared for. This could be a wonderful retreat if only the owners cared just a tiny little bit. All of the sites need new drives. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Every site needs new railroad tie steps. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Trees are down EVERYWHERE making the campground look unkept. The roads to the campsites are all in terrible shape. I seriously think the owners have just turned a blind eye to this gem on Lanier. They are all about Lake Lanier Islands "Margaritaville " overpriced cookie cutter campsites. I hope they don't eventually turn Shoal Creek into that crap but they could at least wave a few dollars at it. I hate to say it but I actually think the Government did a better job running this campground. Pick site #80. Best site on the grounds! (Still needs work!)
