The best dog-friendly camping in Georgia

Name: Georgia
Address: Georgia
Rating: 4.8004999999999995

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.

Guild, TN · 23 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar-powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

Took a road trip up here for mountains and prettier weather. This site was perfect! We set up our tent in the shelter and it held up beautifully during some nasty storms and strong winds. We have a 6 person tent and it fit with room to spare. Only like a 20 minute drive to apple picking and blue ridge!

We love both of George's places. This was our first time on the cove and it was great. It feels very private and our dogs loved exploring the property. I enjoyed the sound of the creek as I fell asleep each night. We don't even bother putting up a tent, just set up our cots in the lean-to.

1 night at Rest And Relax Retreat

If you are looking for the ultimate peaceful getaway, this is the spot. Our stay was nothing short of amazing, largely thanks to the host, who was incredibly welcoming and genuinely dedicated to making sure we could completely unwind and relax from the moment we arrived. The campsite is nestled right along the flowing banks of Hothouse Creek. Waking up to the sound of water and spending lazy afternoons lounging in the hammock right by the creek was pure bliss. The site itself is extremely well-equipped—having a smokeless fire pit, a pop-up canopy, a charcoal grill, and zero gravity chairs ready to go made setting up camp a breeze. The 27-acre property strikes the ideal balance between remote wilderness and modern convenience. It’s quiet and private, yet just a short 15-minute drive into Blue Ridge or McCaysville when you need to grab supplies or grab a bite to eat. We also loved the indoor common house; having access to clean full bathrooms with hot showers and an air-conditioned den was a wonderful luxury. Nature lovers will love it here. We spent our evenings stargazing under wonderfully open skies—we really appreciated the thoughtful red exterior lighting designed to protect night vision. And as a bonus, we got to meet the property's three friendly goats, plus enjoy visits from a hummingbird and fireflies. This was our second straight year coming here and plan on fitting it in to our yearly hiking road trips. Thanks Ralph l!

What a wonderful stay at Rest and Retreat! I came as a solo female traveler with my dog and felt completely safe the entire time. Ralph is incredibly friendly and hospitable, he made me feel right at home and even started a fire for me every day, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can tell he takes real pride in his land. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and well cared for. I stayed in site 4, the most private site (and furthest from the bath house), and loved the seclusion. The site itself was set up so nicely with a pop-up canopy, hammock, smokeless fire pit, firewood, and a comfortable wood-chip ground. The showers and bathrooms are very nice and clean. The water is nice and hot, and they provide shampoo and soap that smell great, little details that make a big difference. Overall, a fantastic experience. Quiet, clean, thoughtfully run, and dog-friendly. I would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Rest And Relax Retreat

Great experience here! Ralph was very hospitable and you can tell he cares about your experience at his camp site. He reached out to verify the day I was coming to see what time I’d be there, and came out to say hello when I arrived later that night which I appreciated. The bathroom facility was very nice and clean not something you will get at most campsites! Just a quick note for people considering this site and I believe he may have posted this somewhere, I had limited/no cell phone reception, so if you need to be connected make sure you have some sort of contingency plan. Again this is to no fault of Ralph and it is the mountains of Georgia, but do be prepared!!
