Accommodations

If you like roughing it, reserve a site at Fort Mountain State Park’s campground located at the top of the 2,800-foot high Fort Mountain. Amenities include electricity, water, shower houses with flush toilets and gravel camping sites with scenic views. Nearby Amicalola Falls State Park offers a smaller campground with similar amenities.

If camping isn’t your style, Fort Mountain and Amicalola Falls state parks offer spacious one- to three bedroom cottages with bathrooms. Cabins can also be found in nearby private parks.

Can’t give up the conveniences of modern living? Book a room with a panoramic view at one of the lodges nestled in the mountains at Amicalola Falls or atop Fort Mountain. Lodges offer casual dining and other hotel services.
