No Coast in Site (and this headline is true)
Before we begin, GA Coastal RV Park should not be confused with GA Coastal RV Resort (this latter spot is conveniently located just due east on highway 520 and runs adjacent to I-95). That said, if‘Coastal’ is in the name of your‘park,’ I think it is reasonable for folks to expect that you’re property is located on(or even quite near), um, the coast. So, we were disappointed to have booked a spot here at GA Coastal RV Park only to find that we would have to drive 30 minutes to reach water. As for the‘park’ I think it depends upon what your expectation is on this front, but if you are looking for anything more than simply a‘place to park’ than you will be sorely disappointed. Naming conventions aside, this gravel RV roadside parking lot is fairly new(a quarter of this place was under construction when we visited) and there is absolutely no nature(bushes, trees, shrubs or even grass) between you and your neighbors. In fact, the only nature you’ll find here is that which encases the place. The size of these grounds are about a single large city block, and apart from the 3 lanes or so that makes up the jagged maze-like outline of the RV depot, there’s just a small patch of actual grass that has a few picnic tables, volleyball court and tetherball– oh and the 2 single outhouses that you’ll regret visiting. Next to this is the office. There’s not much here in the way of amenities beyond flat ground, newly laid pebble and simple water and electrical hook-ups. The noise from the highway in front of this spot comes at no additional cost. Insider’s tip? The only silver liner to this locale is that it’s a stone’s throw from arguably some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life– Scott’s BBQ& Grill(ribs, pulled pork and potato bombs are to dia for!). Net-net, if you’re looking for an EZ location to lay-up for the night, and everywhere else is booked up, then this joint might not be a bad spot. Happy Camping!
