The best dog-friendly camping 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.

Chattanooga, TN · 18 sites
We have a working farm with sweeping views of Lookout mountain and only 12 minutes from all the comforts of downtown Chattanooga. Our expansive 120-acre property provides campers with the freedom to choose their camping spots anywhere on the farm. Farm animals include horses, cattle, hogs, chickens, goats, bees, stocked ponds, gardens and much more. We have strategically placed signs throughout the property to help you identify potential neighbors. If you desire the company of ducks, consider setting up camp near our picturesque duck pond. For those who prefer the rustic crowing of roosters to a phone alarm, we have four chicken coops dispersed across the farm. Our horses freely roam the front pastures. The cows enjoy grazing on lush grass and taking refreshing dips in the ponds. They also relish watching the sunset from the hill's vantage point, as it offers the best view on the farm. We are a working farm with staff tending to various jobs throughout the day. We have a map to show where the camping site sits on the property. We intentionally leave some of our fields uncut. In some fields, the grass can come up above the knees. We leave that to the animals to take care of. All of our staff are super friendly and happy to help guide you to the best camping spot and answer any questions. In searching for your campsite please note that there may be livestock in and around certain areas as we rotate pastures. Potable well water can be located from the blue spigot outside of the staff housing area, in between the orange and green tiny home, and outside the outdoor shower. Embracing farm life is not just an adventure but also a valuable learning opportunity, whether you're a family or an individual seeking a taste of the countryside lifestyle. We hope to see you soon on the farm!
