Dispersed camping in Georgia

Can you camp on Georgia state land?

Marked sites only. Nothing on state land lets you camp freely or along a road. What the state does publish is 155 campgrounds on wildlife management areas. Every state, with the rule behind each answer: dispersed camping on state land, state by state.

Where is dispersed camping restricted in Georgia?

Our records hold no National Forest restriction on dispersed camping in Georgia. That is not the same as having none, so check the forest's own alerts page before you camp.

Each restriction, cited and dated: where dispersed camping is restricted.

How the rank works

We divide the known dispersed campsites in a state by its land area, in square miles, and multiply by 1,000. The rules above sit beside the rank but never change it. The count includes only sites that public sources map, so mapping effort affects the result. Roadside camping corridors and the points we place inside state wildlife and forest areas are not counted.
