The best camping near Fort Mountain State Park guide

Overview

About

Thickets of blueberries, hardwood forest, streams, and winding pathways characterize Fort Mountain State Park, where some of Georgia's finest scenery create the perfect setting for outdoor adventure. Hike, pedal your bike, or ride horseback along one of the many trails, and keep an eye out for an 855-foot wall believed to have been built as a fortification by Indigenous people. Don't forget to pack swimming gear, as the park’s lake offers the chance to cool off after checking out the trails. The 70-site Fort Mountain State Campground serves tent and RV campers and offers four tent-only, walk-in campsites and six walk-in platform campsites.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Reservations can be made at the Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites website or by phone.
  2. Booking in advance is recommended. Reservations can be made 13 months ahead of time, but be aware that some sites are only open seasonally.
  3. Campsites that have not been reserved in advance are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 
  4. If you plan to bring a trailer larger than 38 feet, call the park before making your reservation.

When to go

Tugaloo State Park is open year-round and is at its most appealing in summer when visitors can enjoy a lake swim to keep cool. On the other hand, the hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails tend to see the most traffic in fall when it’s cooler. Summer temperatures are typically between the high 70s to low 80s, dropping to the 60s in fall and spring and the mid-40s in winter. 

Know before you go

  • Cell phone service is very limited throughout the park.
  • For supplies and gear, visit the nearest town of Chatsworth, around a 15-minute drive away. 
  • Bears are sometimes seen in the woods, so be bear-aware.
  • All pets must be on a six-foot leash and continuously attended. Pets are not allowed in swimming areas or in any buildings.
