5 Cabin Adventures at Georgia State Parks
Georgia State Parks offer fully equipped cabins at nearly 30 locations with spectacular views of mountains, lakes, marshes or hillsides. Make one of these cabins or cottages a basecamp for your next family adventure. After a day of exploring, you can cook dinner, relax on a porch to watch sunrise or sunset, then enjoy the fireplace.
Pets are family too, so bring Bailey along when you book your next trip. Make sure to reserve a specific dog-friendly cabin (not all are) and remember pet fees apply. These cabins book up fast, so book early!

Less than one hour north of Atlanta is Red Top Mountain providing a perfect getaway from the city. The park is on Lake Allatoona offering fishing, boating, and a newly renovated beach. More than 15 miles of hiking, biking, and ADA accessible trails traverse the woods and shoreline. You’ll want to relax at one of the new cottages or the shaded campground after a full day of exploring.
