The best camping near Sandy Springs with hiking

·

In Sandy Springs, hikers have over 260 camping options that put winding trails and dense woods right at their tent flaps. Average sites run $40 a night, with some as low as $15, so you don’t have to shell out much to snag a spot. Showers, pet-friendly grounds, and toilets are standard at most sites. Look for campsites along creeks or tucked just off the trail—prime territory for spotting deer or catching a dawn swim. Top picks from regulars include Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven (494 reviews), NW GA Farm Stay (106 reviews), and Goat Camp (65 reviews)—each one known for wooded paths, nearby water, and an easy jump to wildlife-watching. Bring good boots and expect your mornings to start with birdsong and the crunch of pine needles underfoot.

When I moved onto Windy Lane as a child in third grade, our road was a country dirt road. I have a lot more neighbors now, but my little piece of heaven has remained country.  My husband, Randy and I enjoy the peace and quiet we get and the plus of being close to the Interstate for when we need to make trips to Atlanta.  My land is still surrounded by a fence, now rusted, that my Daddy put up when I was a child. The property is big enough for us to enjoy and small enough for us to maintain.  My wildlife camera has captured photos of deer, coyotes, foxes, opossums, raccoons and an occasional dog and cat from the neighborhood.  We hope you will stop by and visit with us. Safe travels and may the road rise to meet you and the wind be at your back!Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent in your favorite spot on our 5+ acre lot. Our niche is privacy and our cute little Nigerian Dwarf goats grazing nearby. Once you are on our property, you will quickly forget you are just a mile from Interstate 75. We are located off Exit 205 and are 40 miles south of Atlanta and 35 miles north of Macon.We are just 5 miles from High Falls State Park and Indian Springs State Park (where kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, etc. are available). We are just 3 miles from Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary and 6 miles from Dauset Trails Nature Center.
