About Fort Yargo State Park
A state park campground in Winder with water/electric sites, 30/50 amp service, bathhouse facilities, showers.
Between Atlanta and Athens, Fort Yargo State Park gives Winder visitors a lake-centered getaway with trails, paddling, and a historic log fort close to camp. The park’s location between Atlanta and Athens makes it accessible, but the campground still feels like a real outdoor break. Visitors can paddle, fish, bike, hike, swim seasonally, or explore the park’s namesake fort. With campsites, cottages, and yurts, Fort Yargo works well for families and weekend travelers who want outdoor variety without a long drive.
