Stone Mountain Campground

We camped here over a year ago. Our site, which was full hook-up, was also on a slant and we had a hard time both getting into it and getting our RV level. We had to get the coach inches from a retaining wall.

The surroundings are quite beautiful, with lots of large trees and a lake. The sites are variable, and some are level, others have great views of the lake.

The laundry facilities were fine, I didn't use the restrooms, showers nor the swimming pool. There's also a children's playground and a sand volleyball court.

The park is just over 30 minutes from the city center, but is one of the closest RV campgrounds to the city.

Stone Mountain Theme Park is enormous, offering a myriad of activities, especially for children. The Confederate Memorial Carving, the largest relief sculpture in the world is a must see with laser and fireworks shows between March and October.

In and around Atlanta, there really aren’t very many RV parks or campgrounds with full hookups for us to choose from. Amongst them, Stone Mountain RV Park Campground has proven to be both one of our most and least favorite campsites at which to stay. We love the location and the setting, but unfortunately, connectivity here is so shoddy that it’s difficult for us to “work from home,” making this campground a less than ideal place for us to stop for any more than a few days at a time.

If you travel with pets, the campground also offers plenty of places to walk your dogs, both in the campground and also around the larger park. The park is also extremely bike friendly (if a bit hilly), and there are myriad activities, shops and restaurants within the park ground.

Still, despite it's beautiful setting and abundance of activities within the park, it's a pretty expensive place to stay and a 30+ minute drive to most of Atlanta's good eats and entertainment.

We camped right next to the lake and were surrounded by huge trees. Even though we were minutes from Atlanta, it felt like we were in the wilderness. There are many amenities at this park, including a pool, playground, fishing docks and boat rentals. It is truly a resort and for an extra fee there are rides and obstacle courses. We will definitely be back. The only draw back is the price. We paid $57/night without sewer hookups.

We read a lot of reviews of this campground complaining about sites that aren't level, so we asked specifically for a level site when we booked. We asked about pull throughs, too, but the woman told us, "we have pull through sites....but they're not level." We ended up in a premium site in the purple loop, with full hook ups including cable and a private deck with a gas grill. I went back and forth about the star rating; we had a great experience here and no real complaints, so I went with five, but I suspect I would have rated it a bit lower if we'd been in a different loop. Our site was very spacious, level, and easy to get into it (we had a little trouble, but only because the campground was very busy (Columbus Day weekend) and there were extra cars parked on either side of the narrow road when we were trying to back in). We were very close to the well stocked store, a pavilion, a big open field, playground, and pool. We walked a bit in a couple of the other loops and the sites were much more cramped (and, yes, many looked not at all level) and not close to any of the amenities. Some of the other loops have sites along the lake and are more heavily wooded, though, so it depends on what you're looking for. We loved that we could let the kids run across the street to the field and playground.

The campground is huge, and there was a ton going on while we were there. A shuttle runs (at least on Saturdays--maybe all week during the summer?) from the campground to the attractions at Stone Mountain Park. Tons of kids running around and riding bikes. They had some activities during the day on Saturday (a magic show and a wagon ride, I think), but we didn't arrive in time for those. Bathrooms were nice and were cleaned several times a day. Campground was well maintained and nicely landscaped (and decorated for fall/Halloween); they came around and collected trash every day (multiple times a day it seemed like, even). They advertise wifi, but we couldn't get it to work at all, even though we were right by the office. Our T-mobile signal was decent, though.

We were there to visit the park, and of course it's the perfect base for that. We felt the rate was reasonable given the location inside the park, but if you're not there for the mountain and attractions, it's a little high. But overall we had a great experience and will likely be back.

We have stayed in this campground a couple of times since getting our camper. Online you have to reserve 2 nights minimum, but at 8am on any given day they will let you reserve one night and check-in immediately. This is nice for a little weekend get away for us. We prefer the O-P loop because it is more remote and quiet. However, there is no sewer or cable on these sites. The bath house is nice at the M&N loop exits. We prefer sites 284-287, 289 and 291 because they have nice space and access to the water. 284 is a pull through which is nice, the others are back-in. The pavement is a little rough in some sites and I have mentioned this to the campground. The sites closer to the store/office seem to have been maintained better and have full hook-up, but you will be more crowded with other guests and will pay more. There are various activities going on in the Stone Mountain Village area all year. We saw fireworks each night from the site because of the Christmas shows that were happening and enjoyed hearing the Christmas train whistle and watching it make it's loops around the mountain. Lots of trails, kayaking, and fishing available if you'd rather lay low.

Clean campground, spacious sites, great lake view. Will definitely camp (in this loop that we were in) again. We probably wouldn't camp in the other loops as we wouldn't fit and they aren't as nice. Great, friendly staff too! Close to Atlanta to do all the fun things and also lots of attractions and things to do inside Stone Mountain Park, too.

Lets start with the good. Nice staff and easy check in. Beautiful veiws of Stone Mountain and Lake at some sites. Lots to do in the area. Many things closed due to Covid. Cable, Full Hook-ups at our site. There is a pool and playground. They are currently closed due to Covid. We didnt use comfort station so no idea what they were like. We stayed in Purple site 149. Now the bad. The park is run down !! Its in need of a major renovation. With that being said, they are in the process of updating the park. Orange section has been updated and nice with new gravel and paved sites. There are only a few paved sites with a covered patio. Looks like all new electric and water has been installed. You see construction going on at other sites loops so im assuming the entire park will be updated. Ok back to the bad which is 95% of the park. Roads are in bad Shape need repaving, sites were not cleaned before check in, firepit was a joke, the decks are old and need replacing. The gas grill was old and needed replacing and the grass around the park has not been cut in a while. WiFi was a joke. Ok I know that most RV parks have bad WiFi and I understand with so many campers trying to download shows etc, its usually boggs it down. But there is only about 10 campers here and the WiFi is a total joke. I used my hotspot on my phone. There are quit a few full timers here. I love meeting full timers, they have the best stories and adventures to tell. But I dont like seeing full timers that junk up the sites. Seems they have no rules for them here. With that said, my kids had a blast here and at the end of the day, thats all that matters. I would give it a year until the park is all updated and try it again, I am sure once its all complete it will be a great place.

We needed to visit friends in Atlanta so we stayed here for 2 nights and then left it for the rest. No major issues. I picked site 431 because a previous review stated it was level. It was not but workable. The level site is 431a. Beware of the sewer as ours didn’t screw on. Let’s just say it was a disaster dumping tanks.

SITE: Pretty spot among many pine trees so feels private. You can see the water from the site and it's a great area to get around and walk outside. Our site was pretty level, we just needed a little boost on one side. Our sewer hose didn't fit in the hookup and it's higher than the ground so you had to assist your hose when dumping. Some of the asphalt getting to the site was really messed up so you have to dodge pot holes, but if you go slow it's perfectly doable - just bouncy. It froze 3 of the nights we were there so had to plan accordingly with our hoses.

AMENITIES: We were right across the way from Comfort Station #10 so to use the laundry room was really convenient. Daily trash pick up at site was very handy. $2 for both washing and drying. The dryers didn't work that well for us - had to run the cycle twice on towels. It's a very quiet and peaceful location.

WIFI / CELL SERVICE: Wifi would occasionally load emails, but was not reliable and very slow to load basic searches, if at all. AT&T was 2 bars, but it worked fine at the site for calls and video calls.

You do have to pay a one time fee of $20 for your car entry into Stone Mountain on top of your RV park fees. Stone Mountain has great areas for walking and biking!

I am a social media mgr.
I wanted to get away with my husband from all the hustle & bustle
Our first couple nights were great, quiet, relaxing...Then came the chaos that simply totally ruined the rest!
2 families of 8 ( 2 adults- 6 children in each yurt#) no care for anyone elses privacy. I'm sorry but 8 ppl in a yurt with children who would literally scream at the tops of their
Lungs. Running through our space. Swimming in the lake torturing the wildlife.Like unkempt wild children with no supervision! So that was 16 people all together yelling, tearing everything in their path! I'm disgusted at the lack of caring from staff. I had to call host at 10:30..They kept up till 1a.M. Got no sleep only to be awoken at 6 a.M. By screaming kids going crazy everywhere. I understand this is a family place, but when it disturbs your peace in every way ..Totally unacceptable!!!!! Even people who had at least 20 in their party were respectful n complained- they were 5 yurts away! Quiet time or not they were a nuisance to all around! Control your kids! It's called respect! But the campground doesn't care ..It even says in their clause after quiet time or if others are impeding on your experience! Call!

Lady at the office on weds hung up on me after stating she would have a mgr call me! I had to pack all our stuff and move to another yurt on the other side
Guess what- you can hear them from here! Never ever again!!! Y'all need a peaceful area where adults can just be and a family area. Nobody wants to listen to unkept children yelling screaming, going wild all day n all night ...Period.. They could have offered us a night free in the new location, that would have only been right! No ...They care about the $$ more than the people!
Beware adults who want peace. You won't find it here!
