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.

Rolling Meadows Family Campground

1 RV Site

Rolling Meadows Family Campground in Murphy, North Carolina, offers a water-and-electric back-in RV site alongside cabins and tent camping in the far western corner of the state, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 35 feet. A brand-new heated bathhouse, disc golf course, and laundry serve a Cherokee County property still finding its way onto the maps. The RV site is water-and-electric back-in, carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp service, sized to 35 feet, with a fire pit and picnic table. Plan around the hookups — water and electric rather than sewer, with a dump station on site — and note the 35-foot cap. Contact the campground for current availability of additional sites; the property is new and expanding. Cabins and tent camping round out the lodging. A dump station, portable toilets, and a new heated bathhouse and laundry handle the practical side. One navigation note the campground states plainly: the campground and its road are so new that many GPS applications do not have them yet. Try 195 Hampton Church Road — their radio station neighbor — and follow signs from there. A disc golf course, bocce ball, corn hole, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with boating nearby. Pets are welcome. Murphy sits at the far western tip of North Carolina where the state meets Georgia and Tennessee, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. The Hiwassee and Valley Rivers, Lake Hiwassee, the Tail of the Dragon, and Harrah's Cherokee Valley River are all close. Spring and fall foliage drive demand in the western mountains. Reserve ahead for October.

Every site is a creekside full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. Check-in is 3pm and early check-ins can't be guaranteed, though the center asks guests to reach out in advance if they need one. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, kayak rentals, and both RV and boat storage cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. Big Cedar Creek runs the length of the property, with a ball field, sport courts, volleyball, a playground, and walking trails, plus kayaking, boating, water sports, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. Cave Spring sits in the ridge-and-valley country of Floyd County, about 40 miles northwest of Rome in the northwest Georgia mountains. Rates for sites, the lodge, and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer creek season books first — and ask about early check-in ahead of time if you need it.

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.

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.

Jellystone Park™ West Georgia

36 RV Sites, 10 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Jellystone Park West Georgia in Bremen, GA, offers 36 full-hookup RV sites, 10 cabins, and 6 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in, pull-thru, and deluxe pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 100 feet the deluxe pull-thrus take anything on the road. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and golf cart rentals cover the practical side, with cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The recreation is the full Yogi Bear program: a water park with inflatable water toys, an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a craft room, sport courts, basketball, gaga ball, corn hole, horseshoes, a pavilion, a playground, a pond for fishing, gem panning, live music, and planned activities through the season. Bremen sits at the intersection of I-20 and U.S. Highway 27, putting Atlanta less than an hour east while the resort itself makes the city easy to ignore. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Deluxe pull-thrus and summer weekends book first.

Gorgeous Stays

5 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites, 2 Glamping Sites, 1 Yurt, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Gorgeous Stays in Bryson City, NC, offers 3 RV rentals, 5 cabins, 3 tent sites, and 3 glamping sites and yurts. The RV accommodations here are the point and they are not ordinary: a double decker bus called The Crown Jewel, a converted school bus billed as the Travel-Inn Skoolie, and a vintage Shasta camper. These are rentals rather than sites for your own rig — if you're towing, contact the property directly about hookups and fit before booking. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a community fire pit, and a pavilion serve the grounds. Pets are welcome. Glamping here means the conveniences of home without the distractions, and the property leans into that: billiards, ping pong, picnicking, planned activities, creek frontage, and fishing, with biking and a casino close by. Bryson City sits in Swain County in the western North Carolina mountains, minutes from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with the Nantahala, Fontana Lake, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad all nearby. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. The vintage rentals are one-of-one — book them early.

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.

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.

Ted & Tracy's RV Campground

23 RV Sites, 12 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Ted and Tracy's RV Campground in Washington, Georgia, offers 24 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 12 tent sites among mature trees on Upton Creek, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Creekside, camper van, and entrance-adjacent categories name exactly where each site sits, with a community fire pit and WiFi. Twenty-four back-in sites span 50-amp creekside, 50-amp camper van and small camper, and 50-amp closer to the entrance categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming a category by its position — creekside or near the road — is unusually candid and lets you choose with your eyes open, and the dedicated camper van tier right-sizes for smaller rigs rather than making them pay for space they cannot use. Twelve tent sites round out the lodging. A community fire pit fills the grounds, with the creek running alongside. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates accessible at a newly designed property. Extended stays are welcome. Pets are welcome. Wilkes County sits in Georgia's Upper Piedmont, and Washington is one of the more genuinely historic small towns in the state — an antebellum downtown with more than a hundred structures on the National Register, the Robert Toombs House, and Kettle Creek Battlefield close by. Clarks Hill Lake and Elijah Clark State Park are a short drive east, with Augusta and Athens both within an hour. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Piedmont conditions. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends, and ask about extended-stay rates.

Little River Campground

46 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Little River Campground in Fort Payne, Alabama, offers 46 full-hookup RV sites and a tent site at the edge of Little River Canyon National Preserve, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories sit in a forested setting with a clubhouse, creek, and pond on the property. Forty-six sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. A clubhouse, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Rates and policies are subject to change, and high-impact periods may vary. Pets are welcome. The forest setting is the draw. A creek and pond run the property for fishing, with hiking from the grounds into the surrounding plateau country. The campground works as a base rather than a destination, and its position at the preserve's edge is the point. Little River is one of the few rivers in North America that runs its entire length atop a mountain, and it carved Little River Canyon 600 feet down through the Lookout Mountain plateau — one of the deepest canyon systems east of the Mississippi. Northeast Alabama's Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain country delivers dramatic waterfalls, spring-fed streams, and outstanding fishing and hiking, with a state park and lake nearby. Summer and October foliage drive demand in the canyon country. Reserve ahead for fall color weekends.

Thirty-two cottages and 10 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, dump station, boat storage, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Pools and the water park run Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, with pool hours 9am to 9pm and the water park from 10am, closing after October 31. A water park, outdoor pool, splash pad, and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat rentals giving direct lake access for boating, fishing, paddle boats, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Mini-golf, a jumping pillow, gaga ball, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, golf cart rentals, walking trails, a playground, dog park, barn, pavilion, and on-site dining fill the rest. Pets are welcome. Weiss Lake is one of the most productive crappie fisheries in the Southeast, within reach of both Atlanta and Birmingham. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns & Campground

55 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 22 Tent Sites, 5 Glamping Sites

Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites at the entrance to a 5.5-mile guided cave system, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Compact and deluxe pull-through categories join rustic back-in sites, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-five sites span compact pull-thru, compact pull-thru max tow, deluxe pull-thru, and rustic back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The compact max-tow category is a thoughtful distinction for smaller rigs with a vehicle in tow. Nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Three policies to know: no hammocks or car camping on any site, no tents on RV sites, RVs manufactured before 2000 require photo approval, and you must be 21 to book. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, pavilion, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park besides. Sleeping beside the cave entrance is the singular draw — one of the Southeast's most accessible wild cavern experiences, with Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
