What campers like
Privacy options: Despite being primarily an RV destination, some Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve sites offer more seclusion. "The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery," notes one camper, but adds the site was "clean and the utilities worked."
Swimming areas: Several campgrounds feature water recreation. "There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing," reports a visitor to Diamond Lure. Another campground, Winding Waters RV Resort, provides "a huge beach-style pool with a hot tub and even a huge waterslide."
Military facilities: For Department of Defense ID cardholders, Dobbins Lakeside Campground offers a secure option. "There is 30 amp electric and water. Sewage and grey water you must use the transfer station located near site #4," explains one visitor, adding "There is an Exchange with a Subway close by."
What you should know
Variable water pressure: Water connections can be inconsistent across campgrounds. At Talona Ridge RV Resort, "water pressure was good at around 50 psi. From talking to other campers in this area, some had lower water pressure and took their regulators off."
Limited bathroom facilities: Some campgrounds have minimal bathroom setups. One camper noted at Twin Lakes RV Park, "The bathrooms were useless. It wasn't a huge deal because we live a half hour away. We went home for a shower."
Reservation policies: Campgrounds have different booking systems. At Talona Ridge RV Resort, "You do not get to pick your site. You get to pick what style of site but not the exact site," which caused issues for one family bringing multiple vehicles.
Tips for camping with families
Dog amenities: The Beautiful Rock Campground welcomes pets with designated areas. Similarly, Winding Waters RV Resort provides "a large playground and huge dog run," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Activity planning: Campground amenities vary widely. Winding Waters RV Resort has "no shortage of activities for children" including "a huge beach-style pool with a hot tub and even a huge waterslide." One reviewer explains, "If you are looking for a fun family vacation spot to bring the kids, look no further."
Space considerations: Request sufficient room if traveling with children. At Talona Ridge, a family reported: "We felt not much thought was given especially after being there and seeing many sites available in our section that would have fit our trailer and vehicles. It became a hassle having to go back to the truck to get other supplies."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: When staying at Atlanta South RV Resort, experienced RVers recommend arriving early. "The sites here are a little close, but it's big rig friendly, and so is the staff." Another camper described it as "a great place to pull off of I75 and get out of the traffic. Sleep in and then take off when traffic is not so heavy!"
Parking dimensions: Winding Waters RV Resort pull-through sites can present challenges. One RVer described them as "the TIGHTEST pull-through site we have ever booked. We have never had to adjust and shimmy around in a pull-through site before, the whole point is to pull in once and bam you're set up."
Wind exposure: At Talona Ridge RV Resort, site location affects comfort. A reviewer observed that "the more premier sites on the top level however the downfall is if there's wind there's no wind block." Lower level sites may offer more protection from the elements.
