Wonderful place to horse camp. Easy parking with water and electric. Nice roomy stalls where the horses can see each other. Great well maintained marked trails. Bring shavings.

Absolutely one of the most favorite state parks to go to in Georgia. Best time to go is around Christmas time where they have the park all decorated for Christmas. They have a large open field where all of the businesses decorate a small area that is Christmas theme. They play the Polar express and have hot chocolate. The museum is open with guided tours. It’s a must see.

5 Stars My wife and I just spent a week camping at A.H. Stevens State Park, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest park staff—helpful, kind, and always willing to chat or lend a hand. We also met several fellow campers throughout the week who were just as welcoming. It really added to the overall sense of community and peace that the park offers. We spent our days walking the peaceful trails and exploring Liberty Hall, the beautifully preserved home of A.H. Stevens. It felt like stepping back in time, and the history was fascinating. Spring is a magical time to visit—the azaleas were in full bloom, and the dogwood trees and flowering bushes were absolutely stunning. The natural beauty of the park is breathtaking and made every walk feel like a scene from a painting. We’re already looking forward to our next trip. If you’re looking for a relaxing, beautiful place to camp with great people and a touch of history, this park is a gem!
