Reservation Policies

Reservations can be made up to 13 months in advance. Georgia residents may make reservations up to 14 months in advance.

Parking

A ParkPass is required for all vehicles. ParkPasses are not included in reservations fees and may be purchased at the Visitor Center at check-in. Overnight guests pay only one night parking fee for the duration of their stay. To buy an Annual ParkPass, visit any Georgia State Park office or buy a ParkPass online (please allow 7–10 business days for shipping).

1–12 passenger vehicles: $5 per day or $50 annual ParkPass
13–30 passenger vehicles: $30 per day or $75 annual ParkPass
31 or more passenger vehicles: $70 per day or $250 annual ParkPass
Georgia active duty military/veterans: $3.75 per day or $37.50 annual ParkPass

Payment Policy

We will now require a 50% deposit to confirm a reservation for most overnight reservables with the remaining balance due at check-in if you book 15 days in advance. Reservations booked 14 days or less will require payment in full. Group camps, group lodges and all day use facilities will require a 1 night/day deposit at booking and balance collected at check-in.

Guests with reservation that still have a balance are welcome to pay these before arrival. Payments can be made using your online account or with the new RA Camping app available in the app store, as well as by phone or calling park offices. Thank you for staying with Georgia State Parks!

No-Shows

An overnight reservation is considered a “No-Show” when it has not been checked in by noon on the day after the arrival date. Park staff should verify that the visitor is not onsite and attempt to contact the renter to determine whether the visitor is arriving later before marking the reservation as a “No-Show”. A reservation marked as “No-Show” will be treated as a cancellation and will forfeit 50% of the use fee. Once a reservation is marked as “No Show”, the reservation’s remaining days/nights are canceled, and the site is released in the system for new reservations to be made.
