RV campgrounds near Peachtree City, Georgia offer various options for travelers seeking proximity to both nature and city attractions. The region sits at the edge of Georgia's Piedmont area with elevations ranging from 700-900 feet. Weather patterns typically bring humid summers with temperatures averaging in the 90s and milder winters, making camping feasible year-round with proper preparation.
What to Do
Hike Stone Mountain: Stone Mountain Park Campground offers easy access to hiking trails leading to the summit. "We loved these grounds. They were clean and there was easy access to bathrooms. The hike to the top was a challenge, but the views were worth it," shares Judy B., noting the rewarding panoramic views.
Visit nearby attractions: Pine Mountain RV Resort provides a convenient base for regional exploration. "Very close to Calloway Gardens, FDR State Park, and Animal Safari! Nice quiet and clean sites," reports Cari P. The campground itself offers recreational facilities for days when you don't want to venture out.
Water activities: Several campgrounds feature lake access for fishing and paddleboarding. One camper at Stone Mountain Park noted, "My husband and son enjoyed fishing and paddle boarding right behind our site. There was a lot to see and do at Stone Mountain."
What Campers Like
Convenient city access: Jones RV Park serves as a practical base for Atlanta visitors. "My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights due to work in ATL. Mostly long term tenants, but a handful of short term sites. We stayed due to the proximity to the city," explains Jenifer K., highlighting its functionality for business travelers.
Pool facilities: Many appreciate the recreational amenities at Atlanta-Marietta RV Park. "There's not much to say about this campground. It was loud because of the road noise. No amenities. You're paying for location to the stadium and to Atlanta," notes Michelle C., emphasizing that location is the primary draw.
Security features: Some campgrounds provide gated access for added safety. At ATL OASIS Campground, one visitor mentioned, "This place is a newly built hidden country like area near the airport and not far from the city. Great for parking your RV and camping out. With security entrance and all!!"
What You Should Know
Long-term occupancy: Many RV parks primarily serve long-term residents. South Oaks RV Park specifically has changed its policies, as Tammy T. points out: "Just called the park they are no longer nightly or weekly they only do long-term."
Price variations: Costs can vary significantly between parks, with some offering better value than others. At Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve, one camper complained, "We have just spent last five months traveling coast to coast and this was the most expensive park."
Office hours: Not all parks maintain full-time office staff. "Who closes a RV camp on the weekends? Phone number reaches answering service. Pick a site," noted Grant B. about Jones RV Park, showing the importance of checking operational details before arrival.
Tips for Camping with Families
Choose campgrounds with dedicated facilities: Stone Mountain Park Campground offers extensive family-friendly amenities. "There's all kind of activities for the kids. They have free transportation within the park/campground area. Helpful staff too," recommends Harvey B., though noting "the sites are close but they are not difficult to enter."
Consider site selection carefully: At Pine Mountain RV Resort, one camper with young children found strategic site placement helpful: "We stayed in site 185. While it was one of the more expensive sites in the park it was well worth it. The nice lady that answered the phone made the recommendation when I told her I'd like somewhere for my kids to run."
Check bathroom facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies between parks. One visitor to Stone Mountain mentioned, "The shower house was a little dirty, so that's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5," while another at Pine Mountain praised, "The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean."
Tips from RVers
Seasonal considerations: For RV travelers, understanding seasonal patterns helps with planning. At Ramsey RV Park, a long-term resident noted: "Full hook up's, salt h2o swimming pool, cable, bath house, camp fires allowed, pets allowed on leash, $700.00/month. Older rv and m.home park (1967) and bath house is dated but clean, laundry facilities."
Site leveling challenges: Uneven sites can create setup difficulties. "The only downfall was that the trailer needed a lot of leveling. But it was totally worth it. Our site was on the lake," reported Susan K. at Stone Mountain Park, suggesting bringing adequate leveling blocks.
Space between sites: RV parks vary widely in site spacing. At Atlanta South RV Resort, one visitor remarked: "Definitely an RV park, not resort. No frills and packed tighter than sardines, but easy and convenient for a one night stay on the way to somewhere else. The RV park equivalent to a Red Roof Inn."
