Absolutely love this campground. Clean restrooms and plenty of warm water and shower pressure. Some of the sites are huge which we absolutely loved. Plenty of camp hosts to help. You can buy fire wood from them for $7. Fire pits and picnic table. Loved hiking to both falls and doing the west rim trail. There isn’t a laundry close besides one in Trenton that has a 2.7 star rating for a reason. The... Absolutely love this campground. Clean restrooms and plenty of warm water and shower pressure.

We’ve camped at several state parks in AL and TN. This was our first GA state park and it has by far been the nicest state park we have stayed at. We had site #39 and it was level and spacious for our RV. The campground is super clean. The bathhouse was very clean and nice. There was a good size playground for kids. We have no complaints.

The bathhouse was very clean and nice. There was a good size playground for kids. We have no complaints. This was among our favorite places to camp and we hope to come back soon. Highly recommend commend the West Rim trail. It can be accessed by a trail from the campground. We took a left at the tee and not a right. Right leads to hundreds of stairs. Left leads to the loop. It was a great trail that went along the rim. Beautiful views!

Great state park. we camped in April with our travel trailer and has been great. The camp sites are spread out and relatively private. They have just put sewer in for a bunch of the sites west rim loop. Our site was pretty level, nice grill and fire ring.

My parents took me here, and I had one of the best times of my life. I got to do two things that I love. Spend time with family, and hike through nature! So, you park and walk down into the canyon where you see lots of beautiful scenery as you can see in the pictures. It's an awesome hike. Some natural, and some boardwalk. I highly recommend coming here if you like this kind of thing
