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 High Falls State Park for a night and see what it is all about.

Spaces are limited. Register and pre-pay to reserve your group's spot by calling the Park Office 8 AM to 4 PM. Email redtop.programmers@dnr.ga.gov with any questions.
