I'm going to be moving to Hiram, GA in late September. I would like to camp in a tent as much as i can while im down here. Where are some of the better places to camp in a tent in Georgia, within a 100 mile radius of Atlanta?

Answer
I believe Stone Mountain has a campsite and that's right there in the Atlanta area. They are very touristy and more expensive than most - but it's probably the closest to the Atlanta area that I'm familiar with.

Also, check out the State Parks. Many offer camping and they usually are very clean and reasonable.

I think Red Top is just north of Atlanta and offers camping. Many of them offer camping, just not sure which ones are closest to Atlanta.

What are some great camping spots in Georgia?

I love the outdoors and I have been to some great spots, but I want to try somewhere new. I am looking for a place that is free to stay if you have your own tent. I need a great view, maybe some hiking trails, and a lake or a river would be fantastic for my kayak. Any suggestions? :)

Answer
Dispersed camping in the national forests is about as free as it's going to get and have trails to hike on. Walmart parking lots don't count.
