If you’ve ever looked at a giant slab of granite and thought, “I wonder what’s up there?”—Stone Mountain Park has the answer. This place isn’t just a rock... it’s an entire day of surprises, especially if you're rolling through Georgia in your RV, passing nearby Atlanta, or looking for a fun day trip.

We didn’t expect to find so many things packed into one park, but wow—Stone Mountain serves up scenic views, southern charm, and high-tech shows all in one epic stop.

🚐 The Stops

Stone Mountain Park is RV-friendly with camping options onsite, though we just spent the day exploring. Parking is ample, and the grounds are easy to navigate—even with a dually or big rig.

🧭 The Stories

🚂 Ride the Scenic Railroad

Start with the Stone Mountain Scenic Railroad—a relaxing 5-mile loop around the mountain. It’s an open-air train (which is always a win), and it’s the perfect way to get your bearings. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, it’s a solid way to kick things off.

🚠 Summit Skyride

Not up for a hike? No problem. The Summit Skyride whisks you straight to the top of the mountain in a cable car. Once you're up there, the views are absolutely breathtaking—you can even spot the Atlanta skyline on a clear day. This was a favorite for sure.

🏨 The Lodge (Stone Mountain Inn)

We wandered over to Stone Mountain Inn to soak in a little southern hospitality. It’s a charming old-school lodge with rocking chairs and sweet tea vibes. Even if you’re not staying there, it’s worth stopping by to rest your feet and enjoy the quiet.

💥 Drone & Light Show

End your visit with the epic Drone & Laser Show. This is not your average fireworks display—think Disney meets high-tech. Hundreds of drones fly in sync to music while lasers dance across the mountain’s surface. Bring a blanket, camp chair, and popcorn. It’s the kind of experience that makes you say, “How did I not know about this!?”

🧠 The Stuff We Wish We Knew

The Drone Show gets crowded fast, so grab a spot early.
There’s way more to do than we could fit in one day—mini golf, paddle boats, hiking trails, and even a confederate memorial carving for history buffs.
There are annual passes if you're local or plan to visit more than once—might be worth it.
If you're in an RV, book early for the on-site campground—spots fill fast on weekends.
