Roosevelt (Pine Mountain), Don Carter (Lake Lanier), Sweetwater Creek (Lithia Springs), High Falls (Jackson), Fort McAllister (Richmond Hill) and Red Top Mountain (Lake Allatoona) state parks. Grab that leash and watch your pup’s tail wag!

Now you’ll be able to request your favorite campsite number and be sure it’s still available when you arrive at four state parks. The entire campground at James H. Floyd (Summerville) and Richard B. Russell (Elberton) are now site-specific, while select sections of Reed Bingham (Adel) and Laura S. Walker (Waycross) are site-specific. All Georgia State Park campgrounds welcome tents, trailers, RVs -- and even the family dog.
