What you should know
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds have uneven sites requiring additional equipment. At Thousand Trails Carolina Landing, a camper reported, "Our site- A5- was super unlevel. I felt unsafe with our fifth wheel's two left tires up in the air after auto-leveling."
Sewer connection positioning: Some parks have awkwardly placed sewer hookups. A camper at Currahee RV Park noted, "Only issue with the site is that the sewer drain is much higher than the pad and camper."
Navigation difficulties: Many parks have narrow roads and tight turns. A reviewer warned about Carolina Landing, "The park also has lots of hills which can be a challenge for some RVs. There are also some very tight turns on these hills."
Site spacing variations: Density of sites varies significantly between parks. A camper at Carolina Landing observed, "The sites are very close together. Every turn is tight. This place is full of big rigs, however, it is not conducive to them."
Tips for camping with families
Look for playground access: While some parks have limited children's amenities, Twin Lakes RV Park offers family-friendly trails. A camper shared, "They have a really cool trail that goes behind the lake that's a mile long."
Check pool hours: Swimming facilities often have limited schedules. A visitor to Carolina Landing noted, "We had our grandson with us and the playground was closed off, and the pool closed at 4:30."
Consider seasonal activities: Holiday periods feature special events at some campgrounds. A camper at Carolina Landing mentioned, "We visited over the 4th of July weekend and they had all sorts of activities going on. Bingo, parade, fireworks, hotdogs and more!"
Verify tent options: Not all RV parks accommodate tent camping. At Country Boys RV Park, one camper observed, "The only tent sites they offer are primitive and it's a bit of a walk to the bathrooms."
Tips from RVers
Check electrical service types: While 50-amp service is common, Toccoa RV Park offers both 30-amp and 50-amp options for different RV needs.
Confirm big rig access: Many parks advertise big-rig friendly status but have difficult navigation. A Carolina Landing visitor warned, "When you enter the park make sure you stay to the left of the sign. We made the mistake of going straight our first time at this park and almost lost our 5th wheel at the turn around by the lake."
Consider dump station accessibility: Some parks have inconveniently located facilities. A camper noted about Carolina Landing, "They do have a dump station but it is not easy or ideal to move throughout the park once parked."
Verify campfire policies: Fire restrictions vary between parks. While Currahee RV Park allows campfires, Country Boys RV Park prohibits them entirely.
