Aquino acres

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents3 acres ¡ Stockbridge, GA
I have 2 large fields that rarely get used so I thought it would be fun to let others use them. I don't have any hookups but 1 field has a well on it. I wouldn't drink from the well but it could be used for other things. Very safe quiet area. Its just a mini hobby farm but you're more than welcome to check out the chickens and my pig Peppa. If the chickens are laying good I will get you some fresh eggs.

There are hiking and biking trails, 2 lakes for fishing, kayaking on the South River, or have a lazy day in the woods. So much to enjoy for outdoor lovers.

We do live on the property and the bathroom area is shared with others. Welcome!

The best camping near Panola Mountain State Park guide

Overview

About

Located fifteen minutes from Atlanta, this park is an easily-accessed, family-friendly retreat. There is plenty to keep you busy: angling, boating, hiking, and biking.

Check out the park's range of organized activities, with everything from tree-climbing to archery. Trails through the scenic forest allow you to keep fit and explore.

While in the area, you can explore the wider Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. Take a hike on this iconic mountain, spot some wildlife, and visit a historic monastery.

In the park itself, you can wander around the 100-acre outcrop of Stone Mountain. Try to spot some rare plants, birds and other wildlife as you go. If you're a beginner, there are ranger-led hikes to show you the best stuff.

The park offers five primitive campsites, all of which boast scenic, natural locations close to the lake. Two of the campsites share a fire pit for outdoor fun, and all have picnic tables. At busy times of the year, you should book in advance.

When to go

The best time to visit Panola Mountain State Park is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery but can be hot and humid, while winter provides stark beauty, though some activities may be limited.

Know before you go

  • Reservations are required for ranger-led hikes to explore the mountain's unique ecosystem.
  • Leashed dogs are welcome on select trails, but not in the conservation area.
  • Check the park's event calendar for special activities and educational programs.
  • Remember to bring $5 for vehicle parking, or consider an annual pass for frequent visits.
  • For your safety, always stay on designated trails and follow park guidelines.
