Stone Mountain State Park is a beautifully maintained destination offering stunning mountain views, scenic waterfalls, and well-marked hiking trails suited for all skill levels. The massive granite dome provides a memorable summit experience, while peaceful campsites, clean facilities, and plenty of picnic areas make it easy to enjoy a full day or weekend outdoors. It’s a perfect spot for hikers, families, and anyone looking to connect with nature.

Beautiful park! While cruising down the parkway, we decided to check out this state park, so glad we did. The park is beautiful. Some steep roads to get to some places but we'll worth it. Lots of trails for all hikers and even a handicap road for folks in wheelchairs and electric chairs to reach the homestead at the bottom of mountian. We took the trails to the same spot, and it was an awesome hike. Well kept trails, and beautiful fall colors. The homestead was awesome and educational. Even a bathroom kinda tucked out of the way. The large dome mountian was beautiful. Even from our viewing point. There were more trails to take it all in, even a summit trail and climbing with permit. Our time was limited and we definitely plan to go back and hit the summit trail, and explore more of the park. If your in the area looking for some outdoor adventure, definitely check it out!

" A hidden gem with million-dollar views!" ,🍁🍂 This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the incredible view of the Stone mountain. It was mesmerizing and even better than the photos online. The whole place has such a lovely, cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The attention to detail in the decor and the overall vibe made me feel right at home. I can't wait to return and soak up that view again. Five stars!

Stone Mountain State Park is a true standout in NC’s state park system. It rewards hikers who are willing to work for views and variety. Yes, the loop is difficult in parts, but those who tackle it come away with a sense of accomplishment—and some of the best scenic moments the region has to offer. There are also many waterfalls to see as well. Overall gorgeous park to visit.

Beautiful state park with nice trails. Campground was very nice with significant space between sites & paved roadways. Some RV sites are paved, as well - in both full, partial, & no-hook-up areas. Other sites without hook ups are well-graveled & are separated for privacy with natural brush. Bathrooms & showers are good. Views in some places are stunning. We would stay here again.

This is a great hike with an amazing panoramic view. When we’ve been there we typically see many birds flying/hovering near the peak. This location will always be one of my favorites as my husband and I got engaged at the top of this mountain.

Great moderate hike with waterfalls and scenic views. About 5 mile loop with tons of stops along the way for beautiful views, creeks and waterfalls. Decent amount of people on the trails on a Sunday afternoon. Highly recommend!

Stone Mountain Park – Perfect Day Hike from Charlotte! If you’re looking for a solid hiking spot about 1 hour 40 minutes from Charlotte, Stone Mountain Park is a fantastic choice! We took the Stone Mountain Summit Trail (orange path), which is about 3.2 miles round trip from the parking lot to the top and back. It took us approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, with a moderate to tough difficulty level — especially the final stretch with some steep inclines. Be sure to bring plenty of water and a few snacks — the summit has breathtaking views that are perfect for a relaxing break. The trail is well-marked, the scenery is beautiful, and the reward at the top is totally worth the effort. Highly recommended for anyone up for a bit of a challenge and wanting to explore nature near Charlotte!

Very big state park with lots to do. State Rangers are very helpful and informative. Roads and hiking paths are kept up and clear. I am disabled and the rangers told us of the disabled access points, parking etc which was extremely helpful. I was able to see the Homestead because of the disabled access and parking. There is no cellular Wi-Fi unless you connect to the parks so be aware that cell service too is sketchy. We were only there for a day and really needed so much more time. It’s a beautiful park with lots to do. The history alone was worth the trip for me. The Blue Ridge area nearby is worth a week’s trip. There is plenty of wildlife too, a baby deer was found by hikers near the homestead when we were there. If you are into camping it would be an amazing place to stay. Definitely check into it if you are considering going to the area.

This is a beautiful state park. We tent camp but prefer to book a RV site due to them having water/electricity. The RV sites are large and leveled gravel and pavement. All include a fire ring ,picnic table and lantern post. We kinda like site 54 near the bridge and by the lovely creek. Some sites do offer more shade than others. The RV bath house is nicer than the ones in the tent areas. It has 3 toilets and 3 showers and sinks. Electricity also for hair dryers etc. The showers do have the push buttons and I hate those. Also when we were there it was hot so I would’ve enjoyed a cold shower but there isn’t any way to adjust water temperature. The park is huge and we enjoyed riding our bikes everywhere. There are many hiking trails and a huge picnic area outside of the campground. The campground checkin office does have ice and wood for sale. We’ve stayed here twice and both visits have been quiet and fun.
