Sleeping Under the Stars
Nothing says summer like sleeping under the stars and waking to songbirds. Whether packing a four-pound tent or piloting a 40-foot RV, campers will find the perfect site in Georgia's State Parks. Pull-throughs make it easy to navigate larger rigs, waterfront locations offer spectacular views, and walk-in sites offer extra privacy. Cloudland Canyon, Red Top Mountain and Vogel are currently making campground improvements with upgraded utilities and easier access. Find the perfect campsite to enjoy before summer's end.
