About Fishing Campgrounds in Georgia

Georgia offers some of the finest fishing camping in the Southeast, with diverse waters ranging from mountain trout streams to massive bass-filled reservoirs and coastal saltwater flats. The state's varied geography creates exceptional fishing opportunities across multiple regions - whether you're casting for rainbow trout in the North Georgia mountains, battling striped bass on sprawling lakes like Hartwell and Lanier, or pursuing redfish along the coastal islands.
