Where are you wanting to go? Rev did a 50 states project to see what the official stance was for each state. I've stayed a several Ga parks and have never had a problem. It all derends on the campground managers. Here's what Ga replied.

Currently we do not have a specific hammock policy. Use of hammocks on trees at campsites is subjective and we are unable to say across the board where hammocks can and can't be used. It depends on the individual parks and their campsites.
To be suitable, the trees would need to be within the campsite area and not away in the woods or too close to a neighboring campsite. There are so many variables regarding using trees. We assume most hammocks using straps are non-damaging to trees. Hooks screwed or nailed into trees is prohibited. Free standing hammocks are allowed at any campsite.
Chattahoochee Bend is one of our parks that has platform campsites with hammock hangers. Also, sites with hammock hangers are in development at Tugaloo State Park.
It is advised to call an individual park before making a reservation for any type campsite that the intent is to use a hammock. Thanks,

Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!
Don Carter State Park allows them for sure.

It's not a sticky (yet) but it should be.
