Camping Reservation Information:

Contact Us
During normal business hours, citizens need to call City Hall at (770) 963-4002 to make reservations. There will be a common file that both the Police Department and Parks & Leisure can access for reservations. After hours and weekends, citizens will need to call the Police Department for reservations.

Procedures
To check in, campers need to go to Parks & Leisure during business hours, or the Police Department in the evenings or on weekends. The common file will be accessed to verify reservations are in order. (Reservations may be made on the same day if there is availability.) The camper needs to check in, fill out a reservation form, sign a release form, and provide payment in advance. After submitting the forms and payments, campers will then receive a list of the rules for the campground. There will be up to 2 parking permits issued for vehicles and a campsite card to be placed at the park.

What you Do With your Card
Once at the park, campers need to put their campsite card on the board. The card will have their last name and the date they will be checking out. The board will be in the parking area near the bridge. When the campers have selected their site, they need to put their campsite card on the board for the site they selected.

At the Park Campsite
Each campsite needs to have a small identifying post so that campers know which site they’re occupying. (A,B,C, or D). Each vehicle needs to have a parking permit on the dashboard or review mirror.
