Never gone camping in a state park before? Or has it been awhile since your last camping trip? This is your opportunity to go camping at Red Top Mountain State Park for a night and see what it is all about. Fun activities, use of camping equipment, 1-night camping accommodation, and ranger guidance is provided. Call Mon-Thurs to register.

Brush up on your camping skills as we guide you through campsite and tent set-up. Then, participate in activities such as wilderness survival, stargazing, and hiking. Of course, no camping experience is complete without a campfire with s'mores. Cost is $30 for a group of 1-6 people plus a $10 program fee per person. Program runs from 1 pm Saturday to 1 pm Sunday. Spaces are limited. Register and pre-pay to reserve your group's spot by calling the Park Office Mon - Thurs 9 AM to 5 PM. Email redtop.programmers@dnr.ga.gov with any questions.
