Nice park. The bathroom light is on a timer but if you walk in when the light is on you wouldn't know this. So my husband was in the shower when the lights went out. Please upgrade to motion...

We stayed in site 112 Lakeside but you can't see the lake at all. They've let it get overgrown with trees and brush. The worst part is only the camp hosts have sewer hookups and there's no dump...

We rented a yurt for the weekend and it was a cool experience. It was 5 of us: two adults and three kids. Indoors was big enough for us to be comfortable within our personal space(s). Everything is as described. That's the best way for me to sum it up. The staff was very friendly and the bathrooms were well kept. Received a nice surprise at check in... Thank you! Overall, it was a lovely stay.

It's a beautiful and well maintained park with ample parking space. The entrance fee is just $5 and they only accept cash so make sure you have that before planning your trip. Attached to the park is beautiful trail around 2 miles long. Trail is a bit difficult for beginners but not for regulars. Beautiful views halfway around the trail and a few benches along the way. Park has the best views of waterfall and lake. But it's not allowed to swim in the water. Overall amazing experience!

The park is beautiful! Gorgeous waterfall. Small play ground for children. Must pay a state fee to enter or if you live near by buy a yearly pass. You can fish, boat, picnic, camp, hike so much to see and do. There are shelters you can rent for any event,. we did family reunions and the last time there was a wedding and they took pictures by the falls!! Go and visit the outdoors.

We stayed at the beautiful High Falls State Park in Jackson Georgia to do some hiking and lay over for the night. Pulling a rig our size through what I assume is the original tight and curvy section to get to the section for larger units is NOT for the faint of heart! But, it is doable if you take your time and are very, very careful. Our site was easy to get into and long enough that we didn't have to disconnect since we were only here for the night. It included a little fenced area, with a fire pit and a picnic table. There is only electric and water at the site but if you need to dump they have a well laid out station. The park is large and beautiful with a number of hiking trails. We did a four mile hike along a gorgeous falls and river. There is nothing level here so this isn't the easiest walk, but it's well worth it. We enjoyed the park and will probably come back some time to do more hiking and sightseeing.

Nice campground and trails. Bathrooms decent. Men's has 2 showers, toilet and urinal. Spot 50 was great. Almost perfectly level, just across from bathhouse. Loop A looks over the main entrance road, about 25' above. Spots on loop A next to entry road are level, those on the opposite side are steep front to back. Loop C was loud well past quiet time and several spots had more than 2 cars per site. The upper loop D had some shorter sites for 50amp but are almost all level front to back and side to side. Loop C had a number that are off side to side (level). Inside loop B looked decent as far as level. We would stay again, but try for loop D. Some sites has concrete picnic table, but most had metal. The initial sites on the entry road were nice and level as well. Gate was closed the entire time we were there. Verizon has 1 bar service. Txt and phone work, but data slow to none, mostly none. Loop B was able to get 2 bars and some data.
