Guide to Atlanta State Park

Best Campsites

For Families:The water-and-electric sites in the Wilkins Creek and White Oak Ridge areas put you close to camping amenities and the lake.
For Privacy:Sites in the White Oak Ridge area tend to be the most wooded and tucked away.
For RVs:Book the full-hookup sites in the Knights Bluff area first - the handful of sewer sites go fastest, and 50-amp options are limited.

When to Go
