The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Georgia

Georgia is packed with natural beauty, from rolling Appalachian mountains to deep canyons, rushing rivers, and warm Atlantic beaches. No matter where you choose to explore, chances are you can bring your dog along for the journey. All Georgia state parks allow dogs, including popular destinations like Stone Mountain, Tybee Island, and Amicalola Falls. Best of all, campgrounds rarely require additional fees if you choose to bring your pets. Some state parks even have dog-friendly cabins available for rent, including those in Cloudland Canyon, Sweetwater Creek, and Black Rock Mountain. Be sure to follow pet rules whether staying in a public park or at a private pet-friendly campsite, as some areas require that dogs stay on leash and off trails. Some parks have restrictions in place to protect wildlife, so check local guidelines.

Just enough outside city and in the trees to feel remote. Had a safe feel. Easy access to everything needed. Short ride to airport. Some airplane noise but it didn't bother me.

This site was perfect! Ralph had everything set up for us in advance a canopy, chairs, hammock, fire pit, and all the wood we could need. Loved the trickle sound of the stream at night. Was surprised the price included all the extras. The common area was brand new and clean. We would definitely camp here again or in one of the cabins.

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

We loved staying on Robby’s land. He was friendly, and met us at the gate to give us some directions and details about the campsite. The campsite had 6 spots, and most of the were concentrated on one side of the field, so you may be close to others if you choose on of those. We had no one around us, and aside from the occasional train passing by, it was very peaceful. We had great views of the night sky and saw a few shooting stars while we were out. Plenty of space, good access to a bathroom. We had to walk out a bit to get some firewood, but that wasn’t a difficult endeavor. We all had a great time and would stay here in the future.

My dog and I had a perfect last second long weekend getaway. The property was easy to get to, close to so many awesome hiking trails, and was beautiful. The host, Robby, communicated well and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He brought us enough firewood to last the entire trip and offered multiple options in case the weather got too cold while there. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Highly recommend anywhere on his property and will hopefully be back sooner than later!

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

I had a great experience staying on Robby's land. I arrived late so it was dark and he made the process of getting out to the area and set up super easy. It was just me and my dog and I felt very safe and taken care of the whole time. He drove out to where I was going to be and was flexible with where I was able to set up. The second night he brought me firewood. The set up of the whole property was really great. There's walking trails, he mentioned an alpaca farm not too far away, there's bathrooms and potable water in some areas. I found the yurts super cool and there's "floating beds" set up at some of the sites in the woods, as well as larger tents. I will definitely be back again with my friends!

Ralph has put together the perfect camping spot. Falling asleep by a babbling creek beside the fire - under the stars - was the best way I can think of to end a day. We climbed the hill out back to the top where a picnic table was waiting. The smokeless fire pit was so neat.

I had a great time, resting and relaxing in my tent! Ralph, the host, was extremely accommodating. The views were absolutely spectacular! The fresh air was great! Waking up in the morning, drinking coffee next to the creek! Resting at night, creekside, beside a campfire was glorious! The common area was extremely clean and inviting. Being able to go over and take a hot shower, while recharge my power station was great! Thank you so much Ralph! I will be back very soon and… I recommend this place easily, to anyone who just wants to rest, relax, and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Go, and recharge your body, mine and soul!

Ralph is the perfect host. He provided us with free wood and had everything set up for us when we got in. Once we were settled he checked in to make sure we were pleased with the place, which we were completely! He walked his dog and checked the perimeter trail at night and keeps a quiet, clean, and peaceful place. We have camped many places but I will say this has to be my favorite. The bath house is the nicest I’ve ever seen. 2 full baths and an awesome living space to hang out in. We absolutely loved it here. Lots of privacy and right on the river. We got to sleep hearing the river flow all night. Perfect camping trip

We booked a campsite at another place and when people started acting shady we decided to leave for our safety and found this spot. We arrived after dark which I try not to do but we had nowhere else to go and with short notice Ralph was extremely welcoming and understanding of our situation. This experience was one of a kind. I've used hipcamp all over the country and this experience was something we will never forget. The campsites are spaced out along a beautiful piece of land with firewood, zero gravity chairs, hammock, picnic tables, canopy and amazing common area with very clean bathrooms that had showers with hot water! In the short time he had to get prepared for us he had everything ready for us and gave us a tour of where everything was. Ralph took us down to the site, got our fire going, gave us a lantern, and set up our chairs so we could set up camp again that evening. He even had towels and rags waiting for us to take a shower the next morning! If you want to truly rest and relax this man's goal is to make it happen for you. He has put a lot of effort into this place and it shows from the moment you arrive to when you leave. Don't pass this place up if you are looking for somewhere to camp in the area especially if you've been camping for several day's already like us and in need of a shower! We will be coming back for years to come and appreciate Ralph sharing this great place with us!

What an amazing stay! There are too many good things to say from the value to the quality and care put into this place. Ralph has thoroughly planned the camp sites ensuring everything is well thought out. The tall grasses create a great buffer for sound and privacy, and walking paths are very well maintained and lights are clearly directing you around the campus. New and spotless amenities! (Bathhouse, hammock, chairs, canopy, etc) very clean and even provided coffee in the common house. He even hand delivered wood and started our fire, AND setup a canopy over our hammock because of the rain prior to arrival. He was an amazing host. We were napping RIGHT next to the creek. The peaceful sounds were so soothing. I’m a pretty big critic and this place FARRRR exceeded my expectations. I only wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back! Places like this make me so grateful for Hipcamp!
