Get Away From It All At This Remote And Beautiful Campground In Georgia

Life can get stressful sometimes, and what better way to escape than to enjoy a weekend of camping in Georgia? There are some epic campgrounds all over the Peach State, and if you live near the state capital, you might think you don't have too many options for getting in touch with nature in an isolated spot... but you'd be wrong. The remote campground near Atlanta that we're featuring today may only be about 20 minutes away from the state's city, but it feels like a lifetime! Panola Mountain State Park is one of the most underrated state parks around. The natural wonder that shares the park's name is the most popular destination here, but many people don't know that the park has a small primitive campground with five campsites that are absolutely stunning.

The landscape at Panola Mountain State Park is quite unusual. The mountain that shares the park's name is a 100-acre rock that's 260 feet above the surrounding area.

Like the more famous Stone Mountain, Panola Mountain is a monadnock, an isolated mountain that is surrounded by virtually flat land. The mountain features a unique ecosystem that's virtually untouched.

You'll find plenty of great recreational opportunities at Panola Mountain State Park, including miles of hiking trails through the surrounding woods.

The park's two lakes span 35 combined acres, making for incredible water views and perfect fishing sites.

Many visitors aren't aware that the park has five primitive campsites available for rent.

These wooded campsites are gorgeous and perfect for time out in nature.

This is an incredibly stunning area, and the unique ecosystem will make you feel like you're on another planet.

Landscapes don't get much prettier than this, and it's the perfect place to connect with nature and spend time away from your worries.

Some people love hiking, boating, or otherwise being active on their camping adventures. As for me, I love kicking back and relaxing! One of the best spots to enjoy a bit of tranquility while connecting with the great outdoors is the GCI Outdoor Kickback Rocker Chair from REI.
