Skull Shoals Park & Campground

1 Tent Site

Skull Shoals Park & Campground in Washington, GA, offers RV camping with full hookups alongside tent camping on 68 acres of pine-forested terrain. The published site record is thin — contact the park for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length before you book. A bathhouse with showers and WiFi serve the grounds, and pets are welcome. There's a playground on site. Creek frontage and picnicking fill the property, which doubles as one of northeastern Georgia's more versatile outdoor event venues — worth checking the calendar against your dates either way. Washington sits in Wilkes County, a historic community whose 18th and 19th century character as one of Georgia's earliest settlements is still visible in its antebellum architecture and courthouse square. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Call ahead to confirm hookups and your rig's fit, and ask whether an event is booked on your dates.

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.

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.

Timberline Glamping at Lula

6 Glamping Sites

Timberline Glamping at Lula in Lula, Georgia, is a modern outdoor accommodation experience bringing fully furnished safari-style tents to the North Georgia foothills between Atlanta and the Blue Ridge Mountains — a new-concept glamping property in Hall County with climate-controlled canvas tents, cozy beds, air conditioning and heating, and a Keurig coffee maker on each site in the rolling piedmont forest northeast of Gainesville. Lula's Hall County position at the southern edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest's Blue Ridge unit gives the glamping property the North Georgia mountain corridor access — Lake Lanier, the Appalachian Trail, Dahlonega's gold rush history, and Unicoi State Park — within a comfortable day-trip radius from a campground that serves the Atlanta metro's nature escape market without requiring the drive to the deeper mountain destinations two hours further north. Fully furnished safari-style tents with air conditioning, heating, cozy beds, Keurig coffee makers, and the ready-to-use setup that a true glamping property provides give guests the outdoor overnight experience without the equipment logistics that conventional tent camping requires — the format specifically serves the Atlanta market segment that wants the North Georgia mountain nature experience alongside the comfort threshold that makes camping feasible for guests without camping equipment or the inclination to manage a tent setup. The Timberline property's new-property investment in quality furnishings reflects the glamping market's premium positioning. Pets are welcome. Lake Lanier, the Chattahoochee River impoundment in Hall and Forsyth Counties immediately south of Lula, is the most-visited Corps of Engineers lake in the United States — a 38,000-acre reservoir with 690 miles of shoreline that sustains boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and the summer water recreation economy of the Atlanta metropolitan area's primary drive-to lake destination. The Lake Lanier Islands' water park, marina, golf, and resort complex on the lake's south shore gives the reservoir the full resort infrastructure that sustains it as a family destination beyond the boat-ownership market, and the Corps of Engineers' public recreation areas distributed across the lake's shoreline give non-boat-owner campers the swimming beach and fishing pier access that the private marina development otherwise dominates. Dahlonega, 30 miles north of Lula via U.S. 19 in Lumpkin County, is the site of America's first significant gold rush — an 1828 discovery that preceded the California Gold Rush by 21 years and sustained the Georgia Gold Rush as the primary driver of the southeastern United States' economy through the 1830s and 1840s before the California discovery relocated the national gold-seeking market. The Dahlonega Gold Museum in the 1836 Lumpkin County Courthouse, the working gold panning and tours at the Consolidated Gold Mines, and the downtown's mountain town commercial character give Dahlonega's day-trip the specific historical depth that distinguishes it from the mountain wine and craft tourism that now primarily sustains the Dahlonega visitor economy. Timberline Glamping at Lula serves guests year-round in Hall County's transitional piedmont-to-mountain climate, where the spring wildflower and waterfall season from March through May, the summer Lake Lanier recreation peak from June through August, and the fall North Georgia leaf season from October through November represent the three peak demand windows from the Atlanta metropolitan market. The Appalachian Trail's southern terminus at Springer Mountain, 50 miles north in Dawson County, gives the property the proximity to one of the most significant long-distance trail landmarks in the eastern United States for the through-hiking and section-hiking community that the North Georgia AT corridor draws. Reserve glamping tents well ahead for the fall foliage season and Lake Lanier summer weekends, when the Atlanta market's North Georgia drive-to accommodation fills at high volume.

River Falls at the Gorge

70 RV Sites

River Falls at the Gorge in Lakemont, Georgia, offers 70 RV sites along the Tallulah River with 30 and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 56 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance. River back-ins join premium categories including pull-throughs with decks and sites with private pavilions, 1.5 miles from the rim of Tallulah Gorge. Seventy sites span back-in river, premium, premium end, premium pull-through with deck, premium with pavilion, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 56 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. 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. A clubhouse, arcade, sports courts, basketball, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, and community fire pit fill the grounds, with a lake and wineries nearby. Pets are welcome. Tallulah Gorge is one of the most spectacular natural landmarks in the Southeast, and this is one of the only riverside RV campgrounds in northeast Georgia. Summer river season and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Fireside RV Park

26 RV Sites

Fireside RV Park in Woodruff, SC, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in three categories — premium 30/50-amp back-ins, premium 30/50-amp back-ins for short-term stays, and 30/50-amp pull-throughs for short-term stays — each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi and a fire pit. ADA-accessible sites are available. Splitting the categories between long-stay and short-stay guests means overnighters aren't parked in the middle of the monthly section, which matters more than it sounds. Laundry, a pavilion, and creek frontage are on the property, and pets are welcome with a dog park and a playground. This is a clean, no-frills full-hookup park rather than a resort — the amenity list is short on purpose and the sites are the product. Woodruff sits in the rolling Piedmont of Spartanburg County, five minutes from downtown and within easy reach of Greenville, GSP International Airport, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and a water park. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask which category fits your stay length when you book — it determines which section you'll be in.

from $55/night

Pine Ridge Campground

23 RV Sites

Pine Ridge Campground in Roebuck, SC, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in five categories — back-in, premium back-in, pull-in, pull-thru, and premium pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue, and ADA-accessible sites are available. One measurement note that matters: published site lengths cover the camper itself, not hitches or tow vehicles, and every site is designed to hold two vehicles. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills, a dump station, and golf cart rentals cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, a game room with billiards, a pond, a pavilion, a playground, a community fire pit, walking trails, horseshoes, paddle boats, fishing, and planned activities fill the grounds. Roebuck sits on the I-26 corridor in the South Carolina Upstate, a few miles from I-85 and within reach of Spartanburg, Greenville, and the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Measure your camper, not your whole setup, when picking a length.

Timberline Glamping at Unicoi State Park

6 Glamping Sites

Timberline Glamping at Unicoi State Park near Helen, Georgia, offers six luxury tent accommodations inside the state park, furnished with beds, air conditioning, heaters, and Keurig coffee makers. A lake, beach, walking trails, and full park access sit at 1788 Highway 356 in the North Georgia mountains. Six glamping sites make up the accommodations, and the furnishing list is what separates this from camping in name only — beds, climate control in both directions, and coffee in the morning without a camp stove. Restrooms, showers, a dump station, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and WiFi serve the property, with cabins also available. With six sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. The park does the rest. Unicoi's 53-acre lake sits close by with a beach for swimming, and walking trails, hiking, a playground, and a community fire pit fill the grounds. A creek and river run nearby, with birding across the forested mountain setting, planned activities through the season, and wine tasting and an amusement park nearby. The approach makes genuine outdoor immersion accessible to guests who do not own camping equipment or want to haul it — you get the state park's trail network and mountain setting without the logistics. Helen is the Bavarian-themed alpine village a short drive away, which gives the area an unusual combination of North Georgia wilderness and walkable town. October foliage in the North Georgia mountains and Helen's Oktoberfest drive the sharpest demand. Reserve well ahead for fall.

Ash Grove Mountain Cabins and Camping

Ash Grove Mountain Cabins and Camping in Brevard, North Carolina, nestles into the hardwood forests of Transylvania County, offering both rustic log cabin accommodations and traditional tent camping in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains where western North Carolina's concentration of waterfalls, old-growth forest, and wilderness trails makes it one of the most biodiverse and scenically rewarding outdoor destinations in the eastern United States. The property's understated, forest-immersed character attracts guests who prioritize natural setting over resort infrastructure, and its location between two major public land units gives it an unusually strong position for serious trail users. Guests choose between fully appointed cabins suited to families and couples seeking shelter and privacy or established tent sites set beneath a canopy of tulip poplars, white oaks, and second-growth hemlocks recovering from woolly adelgid damage that reshaped the forest understory in recent decades. On-site walking trails wind through the property's wooded grounds, and communal fire pits provide evening gathering spaces that encourage the quiet, unhurried social culture that distinguishes campground stays from hotel travel. The overall atmosphere is deliberately low-key—cell signal is limited, evenings are genuinely dark, and the sounds are forest sounds. The landscape surrounding Brevard is defined by the layered ridges of Pisgah National Forest, a 512,000-acre protected wilderness that encompasses more than 600 miles of hiking trails, multiple designated wilderness areas, and some of the best trout streams and single-track mountain biking in the Southeast. Transylvania County receives over 80 inches of rain annually—among the highest precipitation totals in the eastern US—feeding more than 250 waterfalls within the county boundaries, a concentration so extraordinary that the county markets itself as the Land of Waterfalls. Black bears, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and the occasional river otter inhabit the surrounding forest with a density that makes wildlife sightings a routine part of any extended stay. DuPont State Recreational Forest, just south of Brevard, protects the famous cascades used as filming locations for The Hunger Games—High Falls, Triple Falls, and Hooker Falls—all accessible from connected trail systems that allow visitors to link multiple waterfalls in a single outing without backtracking. The Blue Ridge Parkway's historic motor road runs along the ridge crests to the north, providing access to scenic overlooks, higher-elevation meadows, and the cultural heritage of Appalachian communities preserved along the route. Asheville's vibrant arts district, nationally recognized restaurant scene, craft brewery culture, and the Biltmore Estate's elaborate Victorian architecture are approximately 30 minutes northeast. Ash Grove operates from spring through late fall, with the summer waterfall season and October's hardwood foliage drawing the heaviest visitation. The property books steadily with hikers using it as a base for multi-day Pisgah Forest itineraries and families returning annually for cabin stays during Brevard's Music Center summer festival season. For guests whose primary goal is deep immersion in the forest landscape of the southern Appalachians, Ash Grove's combination of genuine woodland setting and strategic location between Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest makes it one of the better-positioned campgrounds in the region.

Timberline Glamping at Lake Lanier - Shady Grove

Timberline Glamping at Lake Lanier Shady Grove in Cumming, Georgia, provides a gated glamping and camping retreat on the shores of Lake Sidney Lanier in Forsyth County's northern metro Atlanta lake country, combining direct water recreation access on one of the most visited lakes in the United States with the privacy and natural character of a wooded shoreline setting that the lake's more developed commercial areas cannot replicate. Positioned on Lake Lanier's eastern shore just south of the US Army Corps of Engineers' Shady Grove Recreation Area, the property serves both local metro Atlanta day visitors and overnight guests seeking the Georgia lake lifestyle in a gated property away from the crowded public beach and marina facilities. The property's water recreation focus is evident in every facility decision: boat docks, boat rentals, kayak rentals, paddle boats, and paddleboarding access give guests multiple on-water options without leaving the property, and the gated entrance and shoreline setting provide the private lake access that Lanier's most sought-after properties command. A beach for swimming, general store, firewood, laundry, playground, showers, and dump station serve the practical needs of overnight guests, and the bird and wildlife watching available in the property's wooded shoreline complements the active water sports recreation with quieter natural observation opportunities. Wine and beer tasting options accessible nearby reflect the north Georgia wine country character developing in the Forsyth County hills. Lake Sidney Lanier is a 38,000-acre reservoir on the Chattahoochee River in the northern Georgia Piedmont, created by Buford Dam in 1956 and now one of the most visited US Army Corps of Engineers lakes in the country with approximately 11 million annual visitors. The lake's proximity to Atlanta—approximately 40 miles northeast via GA-400—makes it the primary lake recreation resource for the nation's ninth-largest metropolitan area, driving the boating, fishing, and swimming demand that makes summer weekends on Lanier among the most energetically social lake experiences in the American Southeast. The Lake Lanier Islands Resort complex on the lake's eastern shore provides the most concentrated public amenity infrastructure with a water park, golf course, and marina that complement the more natural glamping experience at Timberline's wooded shoreline property. The north Georgia wine country developing in the Dahlonega area above the lake, and the Gold Rush heritage of Dahlonega's historic downtown—where the nation's first major gold rush occurred in 1829, 20 years before California's—provide cultural and culinary day-trip destinations that extend the Lake Lanier visit beyond the water recreation itself. Timberline Glamping at Lake Lanier Shady Grove operates seasonally from late spring through early fall in north Georgia's four-season climate, with the summer swimming and boating season from Memorial Day through Labor Day driving peak demand for the boat docks and water recreation access that distinguish this property from inland alternatives. The lake's famous July 4th fireworks display, visible from the water, represents the single most competitive reservation period of the summer when boat traffic on Lanier reaches its annual maximum. Fall's Georgia Piedmont foliage through October and the cooler temperatures of September provide a more relaxed canoeing and paddleboarding experience on water with significantly lighter boat traffic than the summer peak.

Scenic Mountain RV Resort

4 RV Sites

Scenic Mountain RV Resort in Milledgeville, Georgia, offers 4 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, boutique shop, pavilion, pond, and pet washing station. Four sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. One consistent spec covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter, and nobody backs after a driving day. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, a boutique shop, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a clubhouse, pavilion, playground, dog park, pond, volleyball, fishing, hiking, and swimming filling the rest. Pets are welcome. A pool and clubhouse at four sites means you will essentially have them to yourself, which is the quiet luxury of a very small park. Milledgeville has a heritage most Georgia towns cannot match — it served as the state capital from 1807 through 1868, and the Old Governor's Mansion, the Old State Capitol building, and a substantial antebellum downtown all survive. Flannery O'Connor's Andalusia Farm is here and open to visitors, Georgia College anchors the town, and Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee are both close for boating and fishing. Atlanta is about 90 minutes northwest and Macon 30 minutes southwest. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable middle Georgia conditions, with summer drawing lake traffic. Reserve ahead for university and holiday weekends.

Stone Mountain Park Campground

263 RV Sites, 40 Tent Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 17 Yurts, 6 Onsite RV/Trailers

Stone Mountain Park Campground in Georgia offers 270 RV sites, 40 tent sites, and 20 glamping and yurt units inside the park's 3,200-acre property, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full hookup, super site, and cabled categories join a lake, kayak rentals, and pool, 16 miles from Atlanta. Two hundred seventy sites span full hookup RV, full hookup super site, and full hookup with cable categories, along with four- and six-person rental trailers, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Forty tent sites and 20 glamping and yurt units round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Cancellations more than five days before arrival are refunded less a $30 fee. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake supporting kayak rentals, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming. Sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds. Staying inside the park is the advantage — the mountain, the family attractions, and the natural spectacle that draw Georgia's visitors are all within the gates rather than a drive away. Pets are welcome. Summer and fall drive demand at one of Georgia's most visited destinations. Reserve well ahead.
