Located 15 miles northwest of Dawsonville on Highway 52. Take Highway 53 west to Highway 183 north to Highway 52 east.
Great campground. The grounds were well kept. The bathhouse was very clean and always stocked. Bonus each bathroom/shower is heated. Campsites are fairly close to each other but not so close you feel you're on top of your neighbor. Plenty to do at the state park.
We recently stayed at the Amicalola Falls Campground. After checking in at the lodge we ventured up the mountain to the campgrounds (in low gear). It was quite a climb but once we reached the top it was great. The campgrounds are somewhat open but private enough. The sites were spacious, clean, level (gravel). We had good clean 30 Amp electric power, water, a picnic table, grill, lantern post and fire ring all in a raised fenced in area. We heard there was quite a bit of bear activity in the area but did not see any during our stay. The campground also had newer restroom facility with private showers, a shelter house and a small playground. There were plenty of bear proof trash containers as well. We had a great stay and highly recommend.
We love Georgia State Campgrounds. They are always the cleanest and best maintained. This campground was very nice and our site was nicely treed and felt private. The overall area is beautiful and we enjoyed the hiking to the waterfalls.
This place was amazing! We only came for a day and stayed at the campground but we'll definitely need to come back. The falls are absolutely gorgeous and there's a 400+ step staircase to get to the top. The view from the top is totally worth it though! Once you get there, you'll have access to all the trail entrances. The lodge hotel is beautiful and the food is really good. I was honestly surprised they had good prices too! The campsite was maintained so well and they have everything from glamping tents to full hookup sites to cabins. They also spend time planning activities for the people staying in the area. The night we stayed they had a campfire with the local tribes where you learn about their culture. You can really tell they put so much love in running this place. It was an absolutely amazing time, we'll definitely be back to enjoy all the activities and amenities they offer.
Amicalola Falls is gorgeous! You can access the Falls through 100s of stairs OR park where the walkway is which is about 1/3 of the way up - not at the bottom where the store is - but first parking on your right after you turn in front of the store.
Driving to and from the RV camp in an RV is a little nerve-wracking because of 25% grades... geeky like we were moving at a 45-degree angle. Check your brakes before you go!
