Black Rock Mountain State Park RV & Campground Guide

Georgia

Georgia’s highest state park is also one of its most spectacular, with the amazing scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains all around. Roadside overlooks share 80-mile vistas, hiking trails wander past wildflowers, streams, waterfalls, and forests. Camp surrounded by rhododendron and large oak trees, and fish in the lake. 

At 3,640 feet, Black Rock Mountain stays cool, and can close during frigid winter weather. In the summer, the average high in July doesn’t even hit 80°F. The park gets between 7-10 days of rain - no big surprise when you consider all the flora and fauna that thrive there!
