TIPS FOR RESERVATIONS

Because autumn is one of the busiest times to visit north Georgia, cottage reservations are almost always needed. Reservations are accepted 11 months in advance (to the day), which means most mountain cottages are already booked for October weekends. If you want a cottage for an October weekend, make your reservation the first morning that they are accepted. It is not unusual for the most popular cottages to be booked by that afternoon.
(Hint: mark your calendars to call THIS November for reservations NEXT October.)

Campsites and lodge rooms do not book as quickly as cottages; however, they are still in high demand. Make camping and lodge reservations as soon as possible.

To avoid crowds, visit during the week or explore parks in middle and south Georgia. Of course, cancellations do occur, so you might find a last-minute reservation by calling the park directly if you want to arrive in 2 days or less. If you are looking for accommodations more than 2 days in advance, call 1-800-864-7275.
