30 Acres of Mostly Wooded Land just outside Atlanta and convenient to the highway. We bought this property that borders our home about a year ago to stop it from becoming townhomes. We're working in the direction of building an event space and airbnb tiny home community but until then we have put in a few RV spots to start sharing this beautiful property. We have walking trails down to a creek and bridge with more to come.

The RV site was level and all the hookups were conveniently located and worked great. Her lakefront property is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed walking our dogs around the property and also taking some camping chairs down to the dock to take in the sunset. The firepit can hold a massive fire and I would definitely recommend buying some firewood from Debbie as it is perfectly seasoned and burns great. We really appreciated having the gas grill/charcoal combo grill on site to cook dinners on and there is plenty of space to play some yard games (cornhole, frisbee etc). We will absolutely come back!"

Our 501(c)(3) Non-Profit campsite has soft opening under way! This means we don't have many frills, but we are by far the closest RV site to central Atlanta, and the only one on MARTA public transit (right outside the gate). We are a rare gem in this city. One of the last areas that have been allowed to return to nature after being farmed until the 1960s. We are surrounded by 100s of acres of parkland, and yet are only 5 minutes drive from almost everything you will need. You will see the hand cut terraces put in by the farm workers and then the forest has spent the last 50 years taking it back. Still lots of old growth trees around though. The county just purchased/swapped 50 more acres to go with the hundreds more under it's watch. There is a 14 mile concrete trail that runs behind the property and all the way out along the south river. Quite the hike or bike if you fancy a good walk. There is a 18 hole golf course, sports fields, public pool and YMCA type community center all along the trail and walking distance from the campsite. We are a 501c3 non-profit church that is still in the early days of it's mission. Your donation to our site helps fund our mission and keeps the lights on. We are massively focussed on permaculture as the only sustainable way of life and rapidly moving towards being totally carbon neutral. You will be up close on our early days and see our Solar Roof Cabin (a total of 300 panels and 70kW output when completed). We make a lot of our infrastructure from windfallen and site development trees that are cut and shaped on our own electric sawmill. Much of the rest of the renovations are done using upcycled and donated materials. We are working towards: Total energy and water independence Total structural material independence Food independence via aquaponic farming Providing solar powered refrigerated space to local food distros Providing local kids (and adults) access to training on permaculture and living with minimal impact on the planet. Teaching people so they can teach others and pay it forward. Come support our mission by staying with us. Help out with your building or farming or engineering skills if you like. Naturally tax deductible financial donations are always helpful and help speed our progress.

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, A Peace of Heaven
Bill & Laura's hospitality was amazing! They made every effort to help us find a great spot right on the lake! Moved and leveled the picnic table while we enjoyed conversation. Communication details were very detail and a great help. The views were beautiful and serene, we even had access to a gazebo next to our camp. We slept in our tent and felt very safe. We caught two nice size catfish just before leaving which was great! I can't say enough about this private camp site, except we will be back again soon.

Great campsite with an awesome view! We were able to setup two big tents with plenty of room for everyone. Right after we setup an unexpected hail storm struck and we were glad to have the shelter to ride it out in. The shelter has a mini fridge, A/C, and an electric fireplace. Power, water, and the hot shower were nice luxuries. The walk down to the river was very easy.

We had the best time at Brooks Lake — it’s truly our happy place. The property is beautiful and peaceful, and it’s the perfect spot to spend time as a family. My son loved learning to fish and explore the outdoors, and we all enjoyed just slowing down and soaking up the quiet. Everyone there is so kind and welcoming — it really feels like home away from home. We can’t wait to bring our camper back for another weekend by the lake!

Beautiful property located in the heart of suburban Atlanta. To be honest, wasn't what I thought thinking this Aaron's land was further out of town? However, to Aaron's credit, he has chosen NOT to develop his gorgeous property and keep it pristine and instead turn it into an RV haven. Coming in from the highway with a large rig, it was a little nerve wracking coming in through town and into his property, but if I can fit ANYONE can fit. Lots of separation from others. Wonderful space.

30 Acres of Mostly Wooded Land just outside Atlanta and convenient to the highway. We bought this property that borders our home about a year ago to stop it from becoming townhomes. We're working in the direction of building an event space and airbnb tiny home community but until then we have put in a few RV spots to start sharing this beautiful property. We have walking trails down to a creek and bridge with more to come.

We have a wonderful bathhouse with restrooms, showers and laundry just a very short walk from our sites (maintained by the staff at the park). We're also pet-friendly and love our furry campers! Just add the pet fee for each pet in the extras section at check out or send us an email letting us know ahead of time and we will get that added. We just ask that you do not leave your pet alone in the tents at any time unless properly crated. You are financially responsible for any damage that is done to our accommodations by your pets.

The RV site was level and all the hookups were conveniently located and worked great. Her lakefront property is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed walking our dogs around the property and also taking some camping chairs down to the dock to take in the sunset. The firepit can hold a massive fire and I would definitely recommend buying some firewood from Debbie as it is perfectly seasoned and burns great. We really appreciated having the gas grill/charcoal combo grill on site to cook dinners on and there is plenty of space to play some yard games (cornhole, frisbee etc). We will absolutely come back!"

The best camping in Fort Yargo State Park, GA guide

Overview

About

Right between Athens and Atlanta, Fort Yargo State Park is the ideal destination for urban dwellers looking for an escape into nature. Hikers and mountain bikers can tackle some of the 20 miles of trails that wind through the park, then cool off with a refreshing dip at a large swimming beach that lies on the 260-acre lake, also popular with anglers and boaters. Visitors can also challenge themselves on the park’s wooded disc golf course and visit the 18th-century fort for which it’s named. The Fort Yargo State Park Campground features 12 walk-in campsites and 40 RV and tent campsites, as well as a selection of yurts, cabins, and cottages.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Booking in advance is recommended and can be easily done online or by phone and up to 13 months in advance.
  2. Go ahead and book if you see availability—reservations can be changed one time without penalty. Subsequent changes incur a change fee.
  3. If you can’t reserve ahead of time, it’s worth checking in person for late cancellations.

When to go

Fort Yargo State Park is open year-round and is a great place to visit any time of year. Summers can get uncomfortably hot, but you can quickly cool off in the park’s large swimming area. Winters are typically mild to cool and still offer plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking. Spring and early summer are possibly the best times to enjoy the activities on offer while avoiding the highest temperatures and biggest crowds. 

Know before you go

  • A ParkPass is required for all vehicles and is not included with campsite reservations. Overnight guests pay only one ParkPass fee for the duration of their stay. 
  • Pets are welcome, but must be on a leash no longer than six feet and accompanied by the owner at all times. Pets are not allowed in buildings or swimming areas.
  • The half-mile Bird Berry Trail is paved with a birding area, nature signs, and gazebo, and is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
  • Drones are prohibited in all of Georgia’s State Parks and Historic Sites.
