Cloudland Canyon Campground has two campgrounds; east rim and west rim. The east rim was closed during my visit, but the west rim is the most private and roomiest of the two. The overlook into the canyon is near the east rim campground and is not within walking distance of the west rim campground. It is worth the drive to see it. When checking in, the personnel were very helpful, professional, and friendly. They did not require me to report back to them which site I was to occupy, just told me to put the signage on the site post, which eliminated having to make another trip back to the check in. There are about 10-12 miles of trails here and the west rim trail is very scenic. The trip to the waterfalls is very difficult- not going, but coming back up out of the canyon is a thigh burner! The waterfalls to the left at the trail junction are easier to get to. The path to both falls are steps, not trail and there are a lot of 'em! The restrooms were very clean, the showers had plenty of hot water, and the laundry room was very clean as well. I liked the park and would recommend it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The road up Lookout Mt. was beautiful, with switchbacks, but pulling the 5er up was a breeze. They were closed when we got there, and although we had a reservation, they do not assign sights. Ranger told us to just go pick a sight and sign in, in the morning. We chose West rim (thanks to this sight), and it was beautiful. The pads are leveled...they are like rustic patios with railings, so that our sight could hang over a small canyon. We chose # 107. All sights on outside of circle have these "patios". There are some on the opposite side that also really hangover the little canyon. There are also plenty of sights with level ground beside and behind for kids to play. The hiking trail is about 2 miles each way from the west rim. We did one way each day. We also hiked down to the waterfalls. Brochure says it is difficult...but it is not at all. There are stairs down (open grill type) and our beagle was afraid to step on them....so we carried her all the way down and up...and well worth it. Just to note...we got excellent TV reception with just our antennae. Rock City, Ruby Falls and the tram, are about 20 minutes on up the mountain. We only did Rock City...they allow dogs, but would have loved to do them all. Very picturesque campground.....didn't use their facilities, and pumpout was easy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our first camping trip with our new camper. So on Labor Day weekend we decided to load up and go somewhere close by. Cloudland Canyon was the local destination we decided on. Their is 2 areas to camp, The west rim and the east rim. When we checked in the west rim was full so we needed headed over to the east rim and quickly found a nice level site across from the playground. We hooked up to water and electric with no problems. We had a stone picnic table and we also had a lantern hook. Our kids (10 AND 14) went to explore and they quickly found the canyon overlook and some friends to hang with, rode their bikes, and played football in the grassy area near the small pavilion and bath house. The next day we drove over to the west rim to take a look around and quickly found out that the area was bigger with more trees per site. (a lot more private but for us not as kid friendly.) No grassy area for Frisbee or football. We had a wonderful 1st camping experience. We would go back in a heartbeat. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because the bath house needed to be updated. (although clean) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were in site #48, a very long PT site.There are 2 campgrounds: east rim and west rim. The west rim has the longer sites, although by the end of summer all sites are supposed to fit up to a 40 ft RV. Sites had fire rings, separate grills, lantern poles and picnic tables. All sites were gravel except handicapped ones. They also have separate walk in and back country sites for tent camping. Park has 40 person lodge, tennis courts, disc golf, hiking trails, playgrounds (total of 3, 2 in camping areas), store in ranger station, wildlife observatory tower, 2 dump stations (easy to get in and out of), and several grey water drains in the camping areas. No TV or cable-way too many trees for reception. 5 PT's in west loop, 2 in east loop. We had perfect weather for the mountains, about 60 at night and 78 in the daytime. Restrooms were very clean but also very old. Need updated. All playground equipment was new and bathhouses had new paint and shingles. The only bad thing I can say about this park is that there were a LOT of stinging insects in the camping area. Not sure if it is a favorite place to nest or what, but come prepared with bite sticks and repellent. Rangers offered our child a JR Ranger book and she finished it while we camped and earned 3 badges. We were able to see deer, and many different kinds of birds in the park. We also discovered a fabulous restaurant right outside the park called Canyon Grill. It's a little pricey but everything is homemade and wonderful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A top notch GA State Park. Good hiking a very clean campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful campground! We stayed in the West Rim Campground. The sites were very private, level, and had a wonderful pad setup with fire ring, lantern holder, grill and railings. Even though on top of a mountain, the drive was not too bad. The only thing that would enhance this campground would be sewer hookups and cable...but you can't have it all. A pool would also be nice. The scenery from the canyon rim was spectacular. However, don't believe anyone that says the hike to the falls are not strenuous! My family is in pretty good shape, but we quit counting steps at around 700...and it was hard. It's not a very kid-friendly campground, but my wife and I would have been perfectly content enjoying nature by the campfire! Happy Camping! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice mountain-top state park. The road to the park is steep with switchbacks but we did just fine with a 35 motorhome and toad. The sites are wooded. Lots of hiking trails in the park. We will be back to this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A beautiful State Park, with nice sites, old but clean bathrooms. The hiking is terrific. Great place to get your teen "back to nature". We'll do it again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our favorite park for a mountain visit. We prefer the west rim over the east rim area as the sites are more secluded. Beautiful park with gorgeous views, the campground hosts and DNR rangers are exceptionally nice and helpful. Only a short drive (6 mi.) down the mountain to supermarket. The pull up the mountain is not a terrible climb. We will return again (and again)! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park has some of the most beautiful scenery of any park in the Georgia state park system. The West rim of the campground is far more private and has larger sites than the East rim. The campground is very shady and while you cannot reserve sites, each site has either a piece of red or green reflective tape beside the site number. The rangers give you a color coded card with your name on it when you register. The red sites are for smaller rigs or tents and the green sites are for larger rigs. You are free to pick your site but the strip of tape on the site number must match the color on the card you are given. All sites are shaded and contain a picnic table and a grill. Fire rings are located near each campsite. The rangers are very friendly and helpful. The only reason I did not give the park a 10 is because the dump station is located in a very inconvenient place. You must go outside the campground to get to it. However, we loved the park and we will return again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is the third or forth time we've camped here. However, we haven't been in several years. This is still a very nice park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in the west rim camping area. The sites were large, private, and well maintained. Although the bathrooms were old, they were immaculate. There was a laundry room located at each comfort station. Camp hosts and park rangers were helpful and friendly. The east rim sites were smaller with less privacy and suitable more for tents and pop-ups. Chatanooga and Chicamauga were both within easy driving distance. We will definetely be returning to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wonderful campground. We prefer the "west rim" campground. Hardly a bad site to be had. Was not full even though it was a holiday weekend (Labor Day). Great scenery, far enough away from the city but close enough to be handy and options for things to do. Will definitely go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was the nicest scenary we have ever had for a long weekend of camping (Fall Colors were spectacular). The park is located on top of Lookout Mountain, and the pull up the mountain was fairly easy. The East Rim campground is the nicest, but get there early on the weekend. Gray water drains are located at various places around the park, and a dump station is available. If only they had sewer at each site, they would have gotten a 9. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Great place to camp if you enjoy being in the middle of nature. Excellent hiking trails and senic views. This park offers a city style campground and also a wooded style campground to choose from. Make your reservatons early because this park fills up quickly. We camped there in the fall of 2002 with two children and planed to return in 2003 but could not get reservations because they were full. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
