Best RV Parks & Resorts near Helen, GA

Tent camped here in April while mountain biking at Tsali. Campground at Tsali had not opened and this was a great plan B. Camped along the creek, all the spots had a fire pit and table. Bath house was clean and in good shape. There is also a separate section with RV hook ups and small cabins / huts for rent. Helpful and friendly host, also have a good selection of basic sundries in the office. And free WiFi near the office. Would stay here again for sure.

Unicoi is a really nice campground. They offer Zipline adventures, hiking, swimming, playgrounds, paddle boats and more. The are just minutes away from Helen Ga which offers tubing adventures down the Chattahoochee, great restaurants and shopping. Our family loves to visit. There are a limited number of full hook up sites, and they are first come first serve. When you make your reservation you are guaranteed a specific site type, but not a specific site number. Most of the sites will accommodate a 38' -40' rig. Backing them into the spot is tight because the road is narrow. Sites are very spacious and level.

Hands down, the best Thousand Trails campgrounds I’ve been to. I have visited several since we got the membership and I had been hugely disappointed...until now.

It has such a family feel and beautiful grounds, beautiful lake, and easy hook up camp sites. I had no trouble getting into our spot. We visited over the 4th of July weekend and they had all sorts of activities going on. Bingo, parade, fireworks, hotdogs and more!

This Georgia State Park is in Gainesville on the Chattahoochee where it meets up with Lake Lanier.  It was very easy to get to from the Atlanta area.  We originally chose site 8 on the map but found it was pretty exposed and got direct sun all the time.

The park was very clean and still had a "new" feeling.  We had a site with full hook ups.  There wasn't WiFi, but the cell service was good.  They did have cable.  There is a beach with kayak rentals.  We enjoyed a double kayak outing on the lake.  We kept pretty close to shore and didn't have to fight rough water or strong currents.

Some campsites are on small hills that flatten out for your camper but then the terrain falls off.  Biking trails weren't very flat.  We also had to be aware of ants.  Couldn't leave our dog's dish or bone out without being invaded.

Don't miss the Mountain Fresh Creamery almost 8 miles away for ice cream.  Also not far from Helen, GA and wineries.  Always great to spend time in the beautiful Georgia mountains.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Foxfire of Murphy RV Park for our second visit, and it continues to exceed all expectations. The breathtaking views, serene atmosphere, and the pride the owners take in maintaining this gem make it a standout choice. Conveniently located in Murphy, NC, it's also close to TN and GA. The spacious full hookup sites provided plenty of room for our travel trailer plus two vehicles, and the reliable WiFi ensures you stay connected. The dedicated dog area and well-kept walking trails make it a haven for both two and four-legged guests. Impeccably clean bathrooms and laundry facilities add to the overall comfort. Foxfire of Murphy RV Park is a true haven for RV enthusiasts seeking a peaceful and charming getaway. We will definitely be back and have already referred several of our friends too!

Small Creek runs behind Rv but road noise from highway is louder than the sounds from the creek All sites back in.

I have camped across the US in tents, camper, or just the back of my truck. I have been a campground host at Ralph Andrews Park for several years. This is one of the best campgrounds that I have ever stayed in. It is small, only 38 campsites. It has a few full RV hookups, 10 or so el/water sites&12 or so primitive. Campground is located on Glenville Lake (aka Thorpe Reservior) which is the highest elevation lake east of the Rocky Mts. The Lake is a TVA lake built in 1941 and is 4 miles long The gates are locked from 10pm until 8am which reduces any drive-through traffic and increases safety. The staff are helpful and friendly and the campground is well maintained. Reservation for coming season (2019) now open

So, we are here for 3 weeks. We are under a WiFi pole and have good signal and usable internet. It was actually worth paying for. There is a boat launch but, it is hard to get to and down a large, steep incline. I wouldn't bring anything sizable down that hill, no real marina.
It is a functional park and what I have come to expect from a Thousand Trails park. The lower section of the park is tight and can be difficult to get into a site, roads are very narrow. The laundromat was nice, facilities are numerous though I can't say exceptional. We will use this place as a stopping point for a night or so but can't say I would stay here for a few weeks again unless we need to be in the area.

This is a quiet, friendly place to stay. 80 percent of the campground is long term campers. The owners are amazing. Our only “issue” was the smell of the water in the showers, rotten egg sulfur smell. The trout pond is well stocked and tasted great. We will definitely come back again to unplug from the world.

Beautiful views at nearly every site! You can tell they are working on updating things and taking better care of the park this year. Sites have narrow parking areas but most have big outdoor living areas with fire pit and table. Then even off some long term parking. We loved that you could bring your boat and leave it docked at your site. Also great swimming areas!
