Red Top Mountain State Park

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation

1. Booking in advance is recommended and can be easily done online or by phone up to 13 months in advance.
2. Arrive early if you’re particular about your site. Reservations can only be made for a certain site type, not specific sites.
3. You must arrive by 10pm—late-night check-in is not available.

When to Go

Red Top Mountain State Park is open year-round and great to visit any time. Summer is the most popular time to visit, although the heat can be unpleasant—fortunately, there’s a sandy swimming beach nestled in a cove that’s a great place to cool off. As this is an easy getaway for Atlanta residents, it’s a good idea to make advance reservations for weekend visits.

Know Before You Go

• Campers have to check in at the Trading Post to get the gate code before heading to the campground.
• No lifeguards are on duty at the lake.
• Pets are allowed except in park buildings, but must be on a leash no longer than six feet and cannot be left unattended.
