About Amicalola Mountain

Campground in Georgia.

Nestled in the heart of Georgia's stunning natural landscape, Amicalola Mountain offers RV campers an authentic outdoor experience where mountain beauty meets accessible camping convenience. This public campground serves as an ideal base camp for exploring one of the Southeast's most treasured regions, where waterfalls cascade through lush forests and hiking trails wind through pristine wilderness.

The location puts you in proximity to some of Georgia's most iconic natural attractions. Amicalola Falls, one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River, creates a breathtaking backdrop for your camping adventure. The falls plunge 729 feet down the mountainside, and visitors can experience them from multiple vantage points along well-maintained trails. Whether you're an experienced hiker tackling the challenging trails to the top or prefer a leisurely walk to the base of the falls, the natural splendor here inspires awe in every visitor.

Beyond the immediate waterfall attractions, the surrounding area offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. The Appalachian foothills provide a network of hiking paths suitable for various skill levels, from gentle nature walks to more demanding backcountry treks. Mountain biking, fishing, and wildlife watching are popular activities that draw outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year. Each season brings its own character to the landscape, from vibrant wildflower displays in spring to the spectacular fall foliage that paints the mountains in brilliant hues of gold, crimson, and amber.

This campground attracts a diverse range of visitors. Families appreciate the accessible nature of the main attractions and the variety of activities suitable for children. Serious hikers and backpackers use it as a jumping-off point for longer wilderness expeditions. Nature photographers find endless inspiration in the dramatic landscapes and changing light. Retirees enjoy the peaceful mountain setting and manageable day trip distances to major attractions.

The area's small towns and communities nearby provide charming places to explore, with local shops, restaurants, and services that cater to visitors. The location offers that perfect balance between being immersed in nature and having convenient access to the supplies and services you need during your RV stay.

You, your camper and the mountains…. Great place just to sit and be within nature. The campground is very steep to get to so be prepared. I love that we were within the park so we were able to see the Falls and hike without having to go far. It gets pitch black at night. There is a laundry room that’s very convenient for anyone who needs it, they are pretty clean. Make sure to take enough food as... You, your camper and the mountains….

There is a laundry room that’s very convenient for anyone who needs it, they are pretty clean. Make sure to take enough food as any restaurants are pretty far away from the campground. The host has firewood available for purchase. The playground by the visitors center was nice for our toddler. The views from the falls are worth every step from the bottom. Campsites are very spacious and private from the rest. I’d stay here again without a question. We didn’t see or encounter any wildlife while we were here but there were signs everywhere to be aware.

We recently stayed Amicalola Falls Campground, it was such a wonderful experience. Our Camp Host Fallon, was incredibly helpful. She offered so many great suggestions to seeing all the park had to offer. We were blown away with the beauty of the park and all the amenities it offered. It was impeccably maintained, everything was spotless at the campground and throughout the park. We definitely will...

Wow wow, this camp ground is so well kept. Very quite, clean and plenty of space between each site. They offer glamping tents as well. The bathrooms and showers areas were very clean. It's pricier than normal state park camping sites but, every spot has water and electric, grill, fire pit. Will definitely visit again.

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).

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.

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.
