Providence Canyon State Park - Lumpkin HJ Cox: Having visited the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon, I know this canyon can’t really compare—but it has its own unique charm and stunning scenery. The blend of red and white tones is absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t find the trail that leads down into the canyon, which was a bit disappointing, but the hike itself was amazing. You can park just past the gate and enjoy the view or take photos right away, but I highly recommend doing the hike. The trail is incredible. Be sure to wear waterproof hiking shoes and long pants—you’ll be walking on a muddy trail for quite a while. My husband and I wore regular sneakers, thinking it would be an easy hike, and our shoes got completely soaked. Also, don’t forget to watch out for snakes—we saw a black one on the trail. It was a little over a 4hour drive to get there, but totally worth it. I’d love to visit again someday if I get the chance. There’s a $5 entrance fee per car, and a visitor center where you can buy snacks or small souvenirs.

Site # 11 is actually a pull thru with a spacious concrete slab near the bathhouse and group pavilion. The non-equestrian area for RVs and tents is near the fire tower and has been recently renovated with all new pedestals, nicely arranged mostly pull-thru sites with well leveled gravel surfaces. Some sites are ADA compliant with concrete surfaces and thoughtful arrangements of sidewalks for wheel chair accommodations. Ice and Firewood available from campground host for a fee. Bathrooms are newly renovated and VERY clean. Trees are well trimmed. Plenty of green / grassy areas and several playgrounds within the park - one in near the fire tower another larger playground near teh office. Two lakes available for fishing. Pontoon paddle boats available for rent. Small store. The nearby historic site for the A.H. Stephens home and museum is a nice site and worth a visit. Due to renovations, my Impressions changed from Nice in 09/2020 to Preferred campground 04/2025.
