North Shore Landing Resort

Lake Oconee — Georgia's longest lake, stretching 374 miles of forested Piedmont shoreline across Greene and Morgan counties — consistently ranks among the Southeast's most desirable recreational waterways, and North Shore Landing Resort occupies a 55-acre prime lakefront position just 90 minutes east of Atlanta in the Greene County town of Greensboro. What distinguishes the property immediately is the campus: 13 historic railroad cars, repurposed as resort amenities and unique rental accommodations, give North Shore Landing a one-of-a-kind character that no conventional campground can replicate. The railroad-themed campus sets the visual tone from the moment of arrival, and the resort's full-hookup RV sites and tent areas complement the repurposed-rail lodging options with more traditional camping infrastructure alongside the lakefront. Lake Oconee waterfront access provides boating, bass fishing, kayaking, and waterfront relaxation directly from the resort's shoreline, and the community-oriented atmosphere — where neighbors quickly become familiar faces across many seasons — gives the property a warmth that distinguishes it from purely transactional campground experiences. Pets are welcome throughout. Lake Oconee itself is a superlative natural backdrop: consistently clear water in a setting where the rolling Georgia Piedmont countryside descends to the shoreline in forested ridges and coves that create hundreds of sheltered inlets for boating and fishing. The lake's calm waters are ideal for pontoon cruises and wakeboarding, and largemouth bass fishing on Lake Oconee is among the most productive in Georgia, drawing tournament anglers and recreational fishers from across the region. The surrounding hardwood forests light up spectacularly in October, when the combination of lake views and fall color makes the resort particularly beautiful. Harbor Club on Lake Oconee, 15 minutes from the resort, is one of Georgia's premier lake communities, featuring a Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course, fine dining, and sweeping lake views that make the surrounding area worth exploring beyond the campground. The historic town of Greensboro, seat of Greene County, offers antique shops, local restaurants, and a genuinely preserved small-town Georgia downtown character. Reynolds Lake Oconee, one of the most acclaimed resort communities in the South, encompasses multiple championship golf courses and lakeside dining in the broader Lake Oconee corridor. North Shore Landing Resort is open through the camping season, with summer on Lake Oconee being the clear peak for boating and water activities. Spring and fall bring comfortable temperatures for exploring the lakeside community and Greene County's broader landscape, and the fall foliage window in October makes these months particularly compelling for guests who haven't seen the Georgia Piedmont in autumn. The fall foliage window in October adds a visual dimension to Lake Oconee that surprises guests who associate Georgia primarily with its coast or metropolitan areas — hardwood color reflected in the lake's clear surface creates a photographic opportunity that regional visitors travel specifically to experience each year. Reserve waterfront sites and railroad-car accommodations as early as possible — they are consistently the first options to fill each season, and for very good reason.

The Point RV at Lake Hartwell

97 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites, 4 Cottages

The Point RV at Lake Hartwell in Townville, South Carolina, offers 97 RV sites, eight cabin and cottage units, and six tent sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 55 feet. Premium 50-amp back-in and both 30 and 50-amp pull-through categories join water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, clubhouse, and direct lake access. Ninety-seven sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, premium back-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 55 feet. Confirm your tier — the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Eight cabins and cottages and six tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with the lake supporting fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating, and swimming. A clubhouse, walking trails, hiking, playground, volleyball, and basketball fill the grounds, with live music and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Lake Hartwell is one of the Southeast's premier reservoir destinations — 56,000 acres and 963 miles of shoreline on the Savannah River basin, straddling the South Carolina-Georgia border in the Blue Ridge foothills, with striped bass and largemouth fishing that draws anglers from three states. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall fishing strong and far easier availability. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends and holiday periods.

The deck and pavilion categories are worth requesting — genuine outdoor living space rather than a pad. Loops A and B are nightly sites; Loop C is for leasing. Cabins, treehouses, a tiny cabin, and tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with tubing, fishing, kayaking, and river swimming in the Tallulah's clear mountain water directly from the property.

Timberline Glamping at Amicalola Falls

6 Glamping Sites

Timberline Glamping at Amicalola Falls offers six luxury glamping sites inside Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawsonville, Georgia, at the foot of the state's tallest waterfall. Retro RV and furnished tent accommodations come with an outdoor pool, zip line, and full park access at 418 Amicalola Falls State Park Road. Six glamping sites make up the accommodations, including Retro RV units and spacious furnished tents — you arrive with luggage rather than equipment, which is the entire point. Restrooms, showers, laundry, a general store, and firewood serve the property. With six sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and a zip line anchor the on-site recreation, with sports courts, basketball, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, and a pavilion filling the grounds. A creek runs the property, with hiking, swimming, and picnicking from the site and wine tasting nearby. The waterfall is the reason to come. Amicalola Falls drops 729 feet — the tallest cascade in Georgia — and the state park serves as the approach trail terminus for the Appalachian Trail, marking the start of the 2,190-mile footpath to Katahdin. Watching thru-hikers set off in spring is part of the experience here. The setting sits within an hour's drive of the Atlanta metro, which makes this one of the most accessible genuine mountain glamping locations in the Southeast. Spring thru-hiker season and October foliage in the North Georgia mountains drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for both.

Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground

1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Smoky Mountain Meadows Campground in Bryson City, North Carolina, offers full-hookup RV sites, tent camping and cabin rentals across an open meadow valley four miles from the Deep Creek entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sites accommodate rigs up to 42 feet, and the campground's meadow setting — framed by forested ridgelines rather than enclosed by them — gives it a more open feel than most sites in the Tuckasegee drainage. Full-hookup RV sites take rigs to 42 feet, with a dump station available on the property. Tent sites serve campers who want the valley setting at a simpler price point, and cabins provide enclosed lodging with the same meadow outlook. A general store stocks camp basics and firewood, and bathrooms, showers and laundry cover the practical side of a longer stay. WiFi reaches the campground. On-site recreation centers on the meadow itself. A playground anchors the family end of the property, and basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and corn hole give guests something to do without leaving camp. A community fire pit provides the evening gathering point, and a covered pavilion handles group meals and rainy afternoons. Pets are welcome. Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Deep Creek entrance sits four miles north on Deep Creek Road and holds the most accessible waterfall cluster in the park — Tom Branch, Indian Creek and Juney Whank Falls all fall within a 2.5-mile walk of the trailhead, and the creek's calm Class I water makes Deep Creek the park's most family-friendly tubing run. Bryson City itself is the departure point for the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad through the Nantahala Gorge, and Harrah's Cherokee and the Museum of the Cherokee Indian are eight miles northwest on the Qualla Boundary. The campground runs April through October. Spring wildflowers peak from late March into May and fall color arrives in the Tuckasegee valley through October — the two busiest windows of the year alongside the summer national park season. Reserve early for October weekends, when Bryson City lodging fills across the board.

A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. The pet fee is $2 per pet per day. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, game room, arcade, pavilion, playground, dog park, lake, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, and fishing filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season, and a golf course is nearby.
