Pick a campground. More than 2,700 campsites are offered at 41 parks, providing ample opportunity for campers to find just the right spot to set up their camp. Campgrounds feature tent, trailer and recreational vehicle (RV) sites. Electrical and water hookups are available and all campgrounds offer dump stations. Some campgrounds even offer cable television hookups.
Spend the week in a cottage. Cottages are available at 29 state parks and feature one to three bedrooms, depending on the park. Cottages offer beds, full kitchens, bathrooms, heat, air-conditioning and comfortable living areas. Some cottages may have televisions, DVD players, screened porches or decks, fireplaces or wood stoves. A complete listing of parks offering cottages and campgrounds is available at the Georgia State Parks website link located in the Resources section.
Plan a family reunion at a Georgia State Park lodge. Lodges are large buildings that contain dormitory sleeping areas, bathrooms, kitchens and dining rooms all in one building. Lodges can sleep up to 50 people, depending on the park, and are available at Cloudland Canyon, John Tanner, George T. Bagby, General Coffee and Magnolia Springs State Parks.
Sleep in the state park system’s only eco-lodge. Hike Inn at Amicalola Falls State Park is reached by hiking a five-mile trail. The lodge features 20 rooms and a bathhouse with showers and composting toilets. Inn buildings sit on stilts, which reduces damage to the surrounding soil. Guests rely on cooling mountain breezes rather than air-conditioning and can pile on blankets at night if temperatures drop.
