CAMPING
hether you are a first-time camper or an experienced backpacker, Georgia's state parks have a campsite for you. Forty-one parks offer more than 2,700 campsites, including tent and trailer camping, RV pull-thru sites, wa lk-in sites, primitive camping, and pioneer and group camp facilities. Most state parks have laundry facilities and sell camping supplies. Campgrounds are open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. year-round.
TENT/TRAILER/RV CAMPING
All tent/ trailer/ RV campsites offer electrical and water hookups, grills or fire rings, and picnic tables. Modern comfort stations with
hot showers, flush toilets and electrical outlets are within easy walking distance. All campgrounds have dump stations. A few state parks
offer cable TV hookups.
WALK- IN SITES These quiet campsites provide a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring, but no water or electricity. While they are more remote than tent/ trailer/ RV sites, they are within easy walking distance of a comfort station and central parking area.
PRIMITIVE BACKPACKING Backpackers will enjoy the solitude of these designated but undeveloped sites. All camping gear is packed in and out by the hiker.
PIONEER CAMPING Organized groups can pitch tents in these semi -remote camping areas with water spigots and pit toilets. Pioneer campsites will not accommodate RVs or trailers.

GROUP CAMPS Group camps and lodges are available for organized groups, prov iding sleeping quarters, kitchens, dining/ assembly rooms , restrooms, activity areas and swimming facilities.
COTTAGES
onages with one. two or three bedrooms are available at nearly all state parks. They are fully equipped with stoves, refrigerators, kitchen and dining utensils, bed linens, blankets and towe ls. All cottages are heated, and most are air conditioned. Many cottages have porches or decks and woodburning fireplaces or stoves (firewood not provided) . Since many state parks offer group camps, cottages are not available to church or civic groups, fraternities or sororities, school groups, youth groups, etc.
The oneof-a-kind Burnham Cottage at General Coffee State Park is elegantly decorated with rice-carved beds, chandeliers, Persian rugs and hand-stitched quilts. The
park's quiet location makes the Burnham Cottage a perfect choice
for romantic getaways.
