variety of camping accommoda
tions. From the experienced back
packer to the novice camper, out
door enthusiasts can choose from
numerous campsites including tent,
RV, backpack and yurt. All Georgia
State Parks’ campsites are open
year-round. Because the upcoming
summer months are typically the
busiest, reservations should be
made in advance to secure a site.
Across the state, there are more
than 2,000 sites specifically desig
nated for tent and RV campers.
These well-maintained areas feature
electrical and water hookups, grills
or fire rings and picnic tables, while
the nearby bath houses provide a
taste of modern civilization with hot
showers, flush toilets and electrical
outlets.

Georgia and George L. Smith State
Park in south Georgia feature scenic
waterfront campsites that offer con
venient access to the park’s beauti
ful lakes. As a water-lovers haven.
Hart State Park offers swimming,
boating, water skiing and fishing on
55,590-acre Lake Hartwell, while
George L. Smith features a peaceful
refuge for serious anglers and
canoeists. For a less crowded camp
ground, guests can head to James H.
Floyd State Park in the northwest
corner of Georgia. It offers recently
renovated campsites with new pic
nic tables, grills and a bath house.
Surrounded by the rural countryside
and the Chattahoochee National
Forest, the park’s campground is
nestled on the tree-covered hill
sides.
“Georgia State Parks offer an
affordable way to be surrounded by
nature and outdoor activities,” said

More remote accommodations
such as walk-in tent sites or primi
tive backpacking sites offer hikers

nature. Walk-in sites provide a tent
pad, picnic table and fire ring, but
usually no water, electricity or
garbage containers. While they are
more remote than regular tent sites,
they are within easy walking dis
tance of a comfort station, water
spigot and central parking area.

mile vistas of the Southern
Appalachians, and several hiking
trails leading past wildflowers,
streams, small waterfalls and lush
forests.
Backpackers love the solitude of
these primitive undeveloped back
packing sites. All camping gear
(including water) is packed in and
out by the hiker. A few state parks,
such as Tugaloo in northeast Geor
gia and Ft. McAllister in southeast
Georgia, have primitive campsites
that do not require a long hike.
Visitors looking for a different
experience may prefer a facility not
typically found at state parks. Lux
ury-loving campers will enjoy the
yurts at Bobby Brown State Park.
Yurts, which are like canvas and
wood tents, provide comfortable
furniture inside and a grill and pic
nic table outside. The interiors
include electric heat and a ceiling
fan, heavy cedar furniture which
sleeps six, electrical outlets, four
large windows and two locking
doors. A water spigot is located out
side. All visitors need to bring are
sleeping bags or linens, a cooler
and food. The yurts are 20-foot-
diameter round tents with a wood
lattice frame and beautiful tongue
and groove heart pine floors. Each
yurt has a front and rear deck, as
well as a large gravel dining area
with a picnic table and grill. Red
Top Mountain State Park on Lake
Allatoona also has one yurt with
similar features.
State parks offer an array of
recreational activities ranging from
boat rentals and championship golf
to swimming and horseback riding.
Guests can enjoy rugged mountain
biking, hiking trails winding
through lush forests, canoeing on
tranquil waters, picnicking at some
of the state’s most scenic settings
and fishing at one of the many
streams or lakes. Whether you want
to relax by the lake or engage in a
vigorous hike, the adventure is built
right into your camping trip and
nature provides you with an endless
playground.

ural Resources operates the state
