Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bishop, GA

Pine Lake RV Campground sits directly in Bishop, Georgia, offering full hookup sites with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service for recreational vehicles. This highly-rated park features pull-through sites that accommodate big rigs, with gravel pads and picnic tables at each site. Just north of Bishop, Team RV Park provides a smaller, more basic option with 20 RV-specific sites, though it lacks electric hookups and sewer connections. For those seeking year-round RV camping options, Riverside Estates RV Park in Covington (about 30 miles southwest) and Madison RV Park to the south both offer big-rig friendly sites with full hookups. "Mixture of pull thru and back in sites. Been coming here for years and can't say enough great stuff about the staff and the site. Clean shower houses, laundry facilities, full hookups," noted one Pine Lake RV visitor.

Cell service quality varies throughout the region's RV parks, with most locations reporting adequate coverage for remote work needs. Dump stations are available at Pine Lake and several nearby parks, though Madison RV Park does not offer this service. Most RV campgrounds in the area welcome pets, with North Shore Landing in Greensboro (approximately 25 miles east) featuring 100 sites with both 30 and 50 amp service options. Some parks have seasonal restrictions, particularly during winter months, so advance reservations are recommended. Propane fill services can be found at select locations like North Shore Landing. RV travelers should note that while most parks accommodate large motorhomes and fifth wheels, some sites may require leveling blocks due to uneven terrain, as mentioned in reviews of other nearby Georgia RV parks.

    Shoal Creek Campground

    Beautiful lake front AND lake view camping spots; friendly staff

    This was our first RV camping experience -- testing out a new pop-up camper during a two (2) night stay. Reservations were made through Campspot -- about $120 with fees. Communication with the main number for the campground went through the Margaritaville Campground nearby. Separate direct lines to the camp office and security were provided after arrival. Overall communication was good with both, and the staff were always polite.

    We skipped our first night reservation due to high winds. We had concerns about damaging the pop-up roof during first-time setup. We decided, instead, to visit the campsite we'd reserved and pick up our paperwork. Site 56 was our first choice, and we were NOT happy with it. I selected the wrong size on the Campspot website -- a 20' campsite. It was not big enough to park both the camper AND the tow vehicle, AND the camper would've been facing away from the lake anyway with water and electrical hookups.

    The next morning, we called to arrange for a different site. The camp office was very accommodating and blocked off four (4) available sites to choose from. We moved to site 55, which was a large circular pull through. Probably too big for our pop-up camper, but also probably too close to trees for a larger trailer or even a 5th wheel. The campsite was large, with the picnic table, fire ring and sand pit away from the camper. There was lots of room to set up and enjoy the beautiful lake views.

    Electric and water hookups worked just fine. The camp office lent a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter free of charge. We had no issues with either service. The showers and bathrooms were about 2-3 sites down and up the road from 55, and they were reasonably clean for what they were.

    I WAS disappointed that the main gate was broken, and the key code locks on the showers and bathrooms were duct taped shut. However, I did not feel that the campground was all that insecure, and there did not appear to be a lot of traffic coming through. Security DID come through overnight on Sunday morning -- probably due to some noise at 1-2 of the campsites across the cove from ours. Things quieted down after. The camp host was cleaning bathrooms on Sunday morning, and he was very polite when we talked. I saw him regularly coming through to check on campsites and clean up.

    Overall, we liked this campground and will be going back. I will likely request to scout out some different sites in person before selecting one, as I don't want to be in a position to have to give up my spot when it's very busy.

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    One of the BEST!

    We were back at HLC this past weekend and, as always, top-notch park! We have tent camped for several years but recently upgraded to a new (to us) pop up and we had a blast!

    We camped at site 26 (one of the newer sites) and it had full hookup (our PUP does not have a bathroom but does have a galley). The site has electric (50 amp and 30 amp service) as well as free cable TV!!

    The sites at HLC are well spaced and the bath houses are spotless!!

    The park staff is amazing and the camp hosts are always cleaning up and are available if you need anything!

    HLC is our go-to spot for a weekend getaway because of the above-mentioned reasons and it is close to home!!

    Twin Lakes RV Park

    A place to park with no bath, no amenities and mostly long term residents

    The 5 star reviews are perplexing. We're not new to RVing and have stayed in plenty of lovely mom& pop parks. This is a family owned campground, but it is basically a parking lot with hookups for people who live there long term. Our site was on the side of a road about 50 yards away from the Dump Station. It was referred to as a premium, pull through rather than what it is... a pull to the side of the road. There was no grass or picnic table. I'll post pictures that show the condition of our site and how close the spots are to one another. The pictures online and YouTube videos of this park are very deceiving. The grassy areas beside and between the lakes can only be accessed by walking though other camper's sites.

    ** Use caution navigating the park because the roads at the back have no way to turn around if you get back there.

    Watson Mill Bridge State Park Campground

    Great little state park

    Real friendly staff. Nicely laid out, but I guess could be challenging for really big rigs. W & E with dump station and pretty good facilities

    Cell coverage a little challenging but managed to get enough download for Visible to stream Netflix. Too many trees to break out Starlink

    Trails are a fun walk.

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Love the view from our site 13

    Really nice state park located at north end of Lake Lanier. Site 13 was great. Had woods and lake view. Paved pull through site with gravel pad for picnic and fire pit area. Plenty of room for camper, cars and boat trailer. Bathroom facilities were extremely clean, well lighted, no spiders or bugs, etc. Enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Nice beach and swim area, boat docks and 2 boat launch sites, playground, etc. Saw lots of deer and enjoyed walking some of the trails. Will plan a trip in cooler weather fall or spring. Camp hosts were helpful and visitor center staff were very nice. Great cell service too.

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Nice state park close to Atlanta

    This park is one of the newest in the GA state system and it shows based on how new the facilities look. The we camped at site 10 of the walk-in camp sites. There was one bathroom facility with flush toilets, but no showers. It looked like one could use the beach showers, but they were still close for winter. Site 10 was a nice spot with a decent distance from other sites. We were there at the beginning of spring. Once the tree coverage grows back in the site would be more secluded. There are many miles of hiking trails that are interconnected so one can make the a long challenging hike if so inclined. Overall this park was a nice basic state park, but seemed to be more of a day use park for locals than a destination park like many of the other GA state parks.


Guide to Bishop

RV camping options surround Bishop, Georgia, a small town located in Oconee County approximately 15 miles south of Athens. This area features rolling hills and pine forests with elevations ranging between 700-850 feet above sea level. Most RV campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, with average summer temperatures reaching 90°F and winters rarely dropping below freezing.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Lake Oconee provides excellent fishing spots near several RV campgrounds Bishop, Georgia visitors frequent. At North Shore Landing in Greensboro (25 miles east), campers can fish directly from the property. "There is a dock to fish from, and a boat launch if you want to go out. There's some very large catfish in the lake, 30+ lbs. There's also bass, blue gill and crappie," reports camper Alisha B.

Hiking trails: The area offers several walking paths suitable for families. A one-mile trail circles the lake at Twin Lakes RV Park in Cumming. "They have a really cool trail that goes behind the lake that's a mile long," notes Alanna W., who enjoyed the peaceful setting.

Mountain activities: Currahee Mountain provides outdoor recreation opportunities within a short drive. Brett D. writes about staying at Currahee RV Park: "Overall a nice and quiet campground in the North Ga mountains. 5 mins from Currahee Mountain and 10 mins from downtown Toccoa."

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate lakeside camping spots throughout the region. At Currahee RV Park, some sites feature creek views with added amenities. Derick B. recommends: "If you are anywhere near Taccoa, Ga you HAVE to stop here. No excuses! Oh and get site 17 if you can. It's the most secluded spot and has river access and a balcony."

Clean facilities: Campgrounds maintaining clean shower houses and laundry facilities receive consistently positive reviews. A camper at Georgia RV Park (formerly Country Boys RV Park) shared: "Clean pet friendly park with very nice, helpful and funny staff. New sod in between the large gravel sites. Bigger park than I expected."

Privacy levels: Some parks offer more secluded camping experiences than others. Regarding Stone Mountain Park Campground, Dalhya L. noted: "We camped with my parents in the RV section of the campground, it was beautifully wooded and offered plenty of space/privacy from other campsites and was still a short walk from the bathhouse."

What you should know

Site limitations: Some campgrounds have restrictions on vehicle sizes or specific site characteristics. At Twin Lakes RV Park, Clare P. advises: "Use caution navigating the park because the roads at the back have no way to turn around if you get back there."

Seasonal considerations: Insect activity increases during warmer months at some locations. At North Shore Landing, camper Jenna M. reported: "Mayflies are hatching but don't seem to be bad."

Office hours: Operating hours vary between RV parks near Bishop. Grant B. warns about Jones RV Park: "Who closes a RV camp on the weekends? Phone number reaches answering service. Pick a site."

Noise factors: Highway proximity affects some camping experiences. Regarding North Shore Landing, Mitch notes: "The noise from I20, which is very close, comes over the weekend after to flood the campground with truck and traffic sound 24 hours."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Some parks offer limited recreation for children. Carey R. from Pine Lake RV Campground advises: "If you're traveling with kids though-there's not much to do other than bike through campground or fish in the pond. But locally there are parks & playgrounds."

Swimming options: Only certain parks permit swimming in their water features. Angela V. mentions North Shore Landing has "beautiful lake views, RV sites with patios and bbqs. Fishing, boat ramp, pool, charming train theme."

Themed camping: Unique accommodations appeal to families with children. At North Shore Landing, Robert W. shares: "Being next to railroad tracks it has a railroad motif you can actually stay in a renovated caboose. If that's not your thing there's plenty of tent sites, cabins, RVs, and RV sites."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Prepare for uneven terrain at some locations. At Riverside Estates RV Park, located in Covington about 30 miles southwest of Bishop, Corey G. reports: "There are 4 areas, and one is a flood zone. They are still upgrading the park slowly but they are."

Sewer connection challenges: Some campgrounds have infrastructure limitations. Brett D. notes about Currahee RV Park: "Only issue with the site is that the sewer drain is much higher than the pad and camper."

Long-term options: Several parks accommodate extended stays. Corey G. adds about Riverside Estates: "Most people in here are long term week+... It is gated and there is a fob for everything for safety. It is a great place the manager here is awesome. Been here over a year now."

Payment methods: Some RV parks have limited payment options. Campers should note that certain facilities like Twin Lakes RV Park accept only cash or check payments.
