RV campgrounds around LaGrange, Georgia sit within the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains approximately 70 miles southwest of Atlanta. The region's rolling terrain features elevations ranging from 600 to 800 feet above sea level with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot summers and mild winters. Most campgrounds in this area experience heaviest booking during college football season and spring months when visitors come for Callaway Gardens' seasonal events.
What to do
Kayaking on local waterways: Tallapoosa River RV and Outdoor Center provides direct river access for water activities. "We had a blast kayaking. Great stop! Well kept sites," notes Brandi P., highlighting the convenient river proximity.
Strawberry picking: Lone Oak RV Flower Farm offers seasonal fruit picking opportunities in spring. "Visit in the month of April & May so you can pick strawberries & blueberries," recommends Ashley F., who appreciated this unique agricultural camping experience.
Farm animal viewing: Bar-W RV Park incorporates farm experiences into camping stays. "A herd of Angus with a Longhorn thrown in, a pond with ducks, geese flying over, cool!" shares Tim G., describing the working farm environment that surrounds campsites.
What campers like
Swimming options: Pine Mountain RV Resort offers multiple water features for different ages. "The pool area has a kids pool and hot tub along with the regular inground pool," reports Aaron C., who found the recreational facilities particularly appealing during hot months.
Spacious grass areas: Sites with ample green space allow for outdoor activities. "We ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought," shared Hunter K. about site 185 at Pine Mountain RV Resort, noting it was ideal for young children.
Private shower facilities: Auburn RV Park provides individual bathroom units. "There is a convenient bathroom for the night time and a large boathouse by the office with four family style bathrooms with showers and all the needs," explains Lisa M., appreciating the privacy and cleanliness.
What you should know
Seasonal rate variations: Several campgrounds implement payment policies based on time of year. "There is only one thing I find as a negative. There new policy of full (non-refundable) payment is now required when you make your reservation. Unless you want to pay an up charge for your nightly rate," explains Larry M. about Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Site leveling challenges: Not all sites are equally level across campgrounds. "Our lot was covered in ants. Since we arrived late at night we didn't realize the amount of ants until we woke up to them crawling all over our camper," warns Brittany about sites in the lower section of Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Cell service variability: Coverage can be limited in some campground locations. "We commuted to Thomaston for two weeks which was about a 30 min drive. The roads are easy to drive and the area here in Georgia is peaceful and lovely," notes April S., who stayed at Ramsey RV Park while needing to maintain connectivity.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Campgrounds with play areas provide additional entertainment options. "Clean RV campground with a playground, pool, hot tub, and fun mushroom splash pool," shares Jamie M. about Pine Mountain RV Resort, highlighting amenities specifically designed for children.
Wildlife observation opportunities: Select sites near water features for nature viewing. "I like this as no one ever parked in front of me so I had green views from three sides which is nice as I like to have the windows and blinds open," explains April S. about her experience at Ramsey RV Park.
Proximity to attractions: Several campgrounds serve as convenient bases for family outings. "Nice camp ground well taken care of! Near Callaway Gardens and Wild Safari," notes Cynthia S., emphasizing the location advantage for regional attractions.
Tips from RVers
Electrical capacity considerations: Ensure your site's power supply matches your needs. "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances," cautions a reviewer about Pine Mountain RV Resort's lower sites.
Site spacing variations: Campgrounds offer different levels of privacy between sites. "The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out," describes one reviewer about Ramsey RV Park, where most "spots are spaced for privacy. Some are shaded."
Advance reservation timing: Some parks have limited availability during peak seasons. "This is a popular RV campground for football fans coming to Auburn Games in the fall," explains Anna R. about Auburn RV Park, indicating when to expect higher occupancy.
