Update to Rocky Mountain Recreation Campsite Reservations

Starting Dec. 1, you will need to make a reservation at the Rocky Mountain Recreation and Public Fishing Area campsite before you arrive – either online, with the Go Outdoors GA app, or by phone, says the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

Use of the reservation system for Rocky Mountain Recreation and PFA will allow visitors to make reservations up to 13 months in advance of their desired visiting date and will ensure that they have a secured location before traveling. This reservation system allows Rocky Mountain to become consistent with the system used at other state PFAs offering campgrounds.

The campground consists of 36 electric/water hook-up campsites ($30/night for single sites, $60/night for double sites). Additionally, there are nine tent-only sites ($12/night, no electric or water). The campground area has a comfort station with restrooms and a shower facility, a playground and a beach. Make your camping reservation at Reservations.GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com.
