Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- Bookings can easily be secured online or by phone, up to 13 months in advance.
- Reservations can fill up quickly. Campers planning to arrive on weekends should book in advance, especially for summer visits.
- Any sites that have not been reserved are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
When to Go
Due to its proximity to Macon and Atlanta, the park is a favored weekend getaway for city dwellers, so it’s a good idea to make advance reservations for weekend visits, especially in summer. Summers tend to be hot and humid (with temperatures typically in the low 90s), but the park has the advantage of water-based activities to keep you cool—note that the swimming pool is only open from May through September.
Know Before You Go
- For stocking up on supplies, Jackson (10 miles away) is your best bet.
- Boats and canoes are available for rent from the park office.
- Pets are welcome, as long as they are kept on a leash and out of buildings and swimming areas.

Combine nature and history at this Georgia park.
High Falls State Park gets its name from its biggest attraction: the multi-tiered, tumbling cascades of High Falls, fed by the Towaliga River, which winds through the park. Visitors can take in the view from the park’s bridge or follow an easy hiking trail to the falls. In total, 4.5 miles of trails run through the park, leading from lush forest to historic sites that date back to when the area was a prosperous industrial town. Paddling, boating, and fishing are other popular activities, as is swimming in the seasonal outdoor pool. High Falls State Park Campground has 106 campsites for tents, trailers, and RVs. One paddle-in campsite sleeps up to 25, while six yurts offer glamping options.
