What to do
Creek exploration: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center offers kayaking as one of its main activities, with rentals and sales available. "This place is so quiet and peaceful. We fully enjoyed be able to relax by the creek and watch the water flow by," notes Katie D. The gurgling stream bounds the campground to the east, providing a natural backdrop for relaxation.
Waterfall hiking: Little River Canyon National Preserve is located near Little River RV Park & Campground. The canyon features multiple waterfalls and hiking trails. "Little River Canyon park which makes it worth it. The canyon is gorgeous and provides for some amazing views especially if you drive the entire scenic road and stop at all the lookouts," explains Asher K.
Cycling adventures: The Beautiful Rock Campground serves as a convenient stopping point for cyclists exploring the Silver Comet Trail. "There is a huge field right along the main entrance that is designed for groups of bike campers where you can set up wherever then use the picnic and gazebo area for cooking and hanging out," according to one visitor.
What campers like
Streaming-friendly connectivity: Unlike many rural campgrounds that struggle with internet access, some locations offer surprisingly strong connections. "The internet was more than capable of streaming with AppleTV," notes Paul L. from Cedar Creek. At 1776 RV And Campground in Mentone, visitors appreciate the "great wifi access so husband could work from camper," according to Lisa M.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds provide direct water access. At Diamond Lure Campground, visitors enjoy "a tranquil lake on the property" where they can fish from the shoreline. One camper describes the approach: "Upon driving up, you see the office and the big lake behind it and it's breathtaking. There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing."
Dog-friendly amenities: Several RV parks cater specifically to four-legged campers. Diamond Lure Campground goes beyond basic pet acceptance with specialized areas: "They even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, etc)." This allows travelers to fully include their pets in camping activities.
What you should know
Site spacing varies significantly: Campgrounds in the region have different approaches to site layout. At Wills Creek RV Park, "sites are level and easy to access" according to Doug and Terri C. However, at others like Little River RV Park, reviews note that "sites are unlevel and tight."
Seasonal infrastructure challenges: Weather impacts facilities differently throughout the year. One Wills Creek visitor noted, "Gravel roads and pads (thankfully, as everything around was standing in water from the recent downpour)." Heavy rainfall can affect site conditions, particularly in spring.
Varying bathroom quality: Facilities range widely across RV parks near Armuchee. At Cedar Creek, one visitor noted: "Bath house, nice and clean and adequate but definitely needs an upgrade." Other campgrounds like Hawkins Pointe RV Park don't offer shower facilities at all, requiring self-contained camping.
Tips for camping with families
Dog policy verification: When traveling with pets, confirm specific campground rules. While most allow pets, Winding Waters RV Resort offers a dedicated dog run but has "a bunch of extra fees for weird things" according to Christina H. Always check leash requirements and designated pet areas before booking.
Playground access: Cedar Creek offers play areas, though one visitor observed they "really wasn't age appropriate for our 3 year old twins very well." Diamond Lure Campground is noted for being "Fun, Family oriented and Family owned" with multiple family-friendly amenities.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds include water access for cooling off. Diamond Lure provides "a little beach to swim in," while Winding Waters RV Resort features "a lazy river pool" that's popular with families during summer months.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Several campgrounds have uneven terrain. At Winding Waters, one RVer noted their site was "the TIGHTEST pull thru site we have ever booked. We could barely even squeeze our tow vehicle (10ft bed dually) into the designated parking spot without sticking out."
Maintenance services: For RVers needing repairs, Hawkins Pointe RV Park offers convenient access to service providers. "If you need work on your rig, there are lots of places real close by as well as camping world," notes Missy C. This can be crucial for travelers experiencing mechanical issues.
Water pressure considerations: RVers should monitor water pressure at hookups. Sites at Cedar Creek were observed to have variable water pressure, which can affect RV plumbing systems. Some campers recommend bringing pressure regulators when camping in the area.
