The best river, stream, or creek glamping sites near Sandy Springs guide

Where to go

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area

Just 25 minutes from Sandy Springs, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is the spot to take a leisurely stroll by the water or jump into a guided rafting tour. Plenty of trails in the area offer riverside and forest hiking as well as pet-friendly spots for walking and picnicking. The surrounding forest features an array of group and dispersed campsite options, including remote spots for tents, RV camping, and cabins with showers, electricity, flush toilets, and water.

Stone Mountain Park

With 3,200 acres of nature to explore, Stone Mountain Park offers outdoor activities like fishing, biking, hiking, and golf. Take the walking trail up to the top of the mountain for stunning views of downtown Atlanta and the North Georgia mountains—or ride the cable car for an accessible scenic excursion. Cabins, yurts, RV parks, and tent campsites make it easy to stay right near the park—just book early to score tent and pop-up sites with hookups for water and electricity.

Morgan Falls Overlook Park

Featuring 30 acres of riverside views, Morgan Falls Overlook Park includes fire pits, boat docks, hiking, and a playground for family fun. Paddleboard, kayak, and canoe rentals are open seasonally, while hiking and self-guided options are available year-round. Book a campsite near the park or reserve the group pavilion for larger outdoor gatherings with family and friends.

When to go

Georgia’s mild climate is great for a long outdoor season—spring, summer, and fall are ideal for all types of camping, and September and October often see fewer crowds than in summer. These months are also slightly cooler at an average of 77°F compared to the peak months of June and July, which can reach 87°F. Winter camping is available, though it’s recommended to have some winter camping experience for mountain sites, as weather can change quickly. It’s also advisable to call ahead and check whether amenities are available during off-seasons.
