What to do
Kayaking adventures: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center provides paddling access with kayak rentals and sales. "Kayaking is one of the main activities. Kayak rentals and sales. Friendly staff," notes a camper who appreciated the water-based recreation options.
Hiking trails: The Beautiful Rock Campground connects to walking paths for nature exploration. "We spent the whole day covering about 35 miles on our bikes with gear on the back having an amazing time. We were even able to stop for lunch in Rockmart and take a nice break," shares one visitor who enjoyed the Silver Comet Trail access.
Fishing opportunities: Twin Lakes RV Park offers shoreline fishing with dedicated areas for anglers. "They have several swings overlooking the lake for a very relaxing view. You're allowed to fish in the lake, but no swimming or kayaking. They have a really cool trail that goes behind the lake that's a mile long," explains a camper who spent Memorial Day weekend at the property.
What campers like
Quiet locations: Twin Lakes RV Park impresses visitors with its peaceful setting. "Pretty campground to sit and relax at," notes one reviewer who valued the tranquil atmosphere and lakeside swings.
Full hookup availability: Atlanta-Marietta RV Resort Park provides complete utility connections in a convenient location. "While it lacks amenities of my favorite RV parks it has everything I need for when I visit. I use this park strictly for sporting events as it's close by and is relatively quiet considering how close it is to the highway," shares a visitor who appreciates the functionality.
Outdoor recreation access: Cedar Creek's streamside setting enhances the camping experience. "We parked our 22ft travel trailer at site 30 which was bounded to the north and east by the tent camping area. The nice gurgling stream (Big Cedar Creek) bounds the campground to the east and is a nice walk through a mowed/maintained field," explains a camper who enjoyed the natural surroundings.
What you should know
Reservation policies: Winding Waters RV Resort uses a convenient but different check-in process. "Everything was handled via text and email messages before I arrived. Once on-site, I never saw an employee or an office. Had I needed anything, I had been instructed to call/text Jonathan. He was sure prompt in replying before I arrived," reports a visitor who noted the remote administration system.
Site spacing considerations: Some campgrounds place units close together. "The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the sites looked to be occupied by long-term residents but all of the units looked to be in good repair," observed one camper describing the density at a local park.
Road conditions: Access roads vary greatly between properties. "The roads for sure can be improved... a lot of bumps and a rough rode, so be careful when driving," warns a reviewer about Cedar Creek's entrance, while another visitor mentions "the pavement is so deteriorated that it is almost moon craters" at another property.
Tips for camping with families
Entertainment options: The Beautiful Rock Campground organizes the grounds by usage type. "It was set up to have several different campground areas divided for different purposes. 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."
Weather planning: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, requiring hydration and shade. "Wowzzzzaaaa Georgia is amazing!!! This camp ground is great, the roads for sure can be improved... a lot of bumps and a rough rode, so be careful when driving. Other than that nice camp ground surrounded by trees and an amazing park right across the way with huge grounds to run your dogs."
Nearby attractions: Local state parks complement RV campgrounds. "Only a couple miles away is Sweetwater State Park which is well worth a visit and has some wonderful hiking trails," mentions a visitor who found additional recreation opportunities nearby.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve accommodates various vehicle sizes. "When I made my reservation, I could not get a 50A site so reserved a 30A site. I called Sweetwater Creek and with no fuss, they rearranged things so that I could have a site with 50A. Wonderful service!" shares one RVer who appreciated the flexible accommodation.
Utility access: Water connections may need inspection. "The water and sewer were gross and almost touching each other," notes one camper, suggesting travelers check hookup placement and condition upon arrival.
Shopping proximity: Multiple RV campgrounds near Dallas, Georgia provide convenient access to stores. "Located very close to convenience stores and grocery stores as well," observes one reviewer, while another mentions "They have a lot of grocery stores and restaurants pretty close so you don't have to travel far if you need anything."
