Stone Mountain Campground

Stone Mountain Park continues it's upgrades to the campground that began last spring before the pandemic set in.  The completed areas give a true resort feel to the campground while retaining the primitive sites.   Posted pictures here will, hopefully, give you a feel for the improvements that were made. Sections of the road were repaved and restriped.  Most of sites now have new landscape timbers to edge the RV sites except for section L which has poured concrete edging.  Trails were added to allow travel between loops without walking campground roads.  And as you can see in the above picture, at least one pedestrian bridge was added.  

New loop signs were added as were loop names. Even the comfort stations have new signs to go with their numbered identification.  Campsites were also renumbered.  You'll want to review the new campground map online when making reservations if you've been a long time user of this campground. 

These renovated areas stand in stark contrast to the older sections.  When walking the older sections, the "rustic" feel really stands out to the point that these areas seem neglected.  All the complaints you read about this campground in Campground Reviews are still there in the older sections.  Unlevel is an understatement.  It does appear these areas will eventually be renovated.   

Except for family, there's no reason for Donna and I to visit Atlanta.  If fact, we hate Atlanta traffic and dread the thought of even traveling through it.  However, the Stone Mountain Campground remains a jewel of the area and a favorite campground of ours.  If you want to stop near Atlanta, we highly recommend this campground.  It's not Fort Wilderness (Disney World), but the newly renovated sections come close.  In our opinion, Stone Mountain could legitimately add the word "Resort" to the campground name.  Reservations highly recommend - pretty much required these days.  It's worth at least one overnight and the obnoxious Atlanta traffic just to see it.  #StoneMountainCampground #StoneMountainCampging

Safari Tents

These are sites 166, 168, 170, 172, 174 and give you some of the best lake views from the renovated section.  In the past these were not satellite friendly sites, but may be satellite friendly now.
