Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve North Georgia mountain campgrounds 4-6 months ahead for October weekends, as fall foliage season books solid at popular parks like Black Rock Mountain and Vogel.
  • 2For coastal wilderness camping at Cumberland Island, secure ferry reservations simultaneously with camping permits, as both sell out during comfortable fall months.
  • 3Pack layers for mountain camping—morning temperatures can dip into the 30s while afternoons reach the 70s, creating 40-degree temperature swings.
  • 4Bring quality rain gear as fall occasionally brings frontal systems with brief showers, though precipitation is generally Georgia's driest season.
