Best RV Parks & Resorts near Morganton, GA

Several RV parks surround Morganton, Georgia, offering varied options for motorhome travelers.

According to one visitor, "The sites on the middle level had a mixture of pull-throughs and back-ins with plenty of yard space for evening gatherings." Diamond Lure Campground offers year-round RV camping with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections on sites that accommodate larger rigs.

Navigation to mountain RV parks requires careful planning due to steep grades and switchbacks. One RV owner noted, "Coming up the mountain has some steep grades and a few switchbacks that you can't see around." Cell service varies significantly by location and provider, with Verizon generally offering better coverage than AT&T in most parks. Dump stations are available at several facilities, though some parks like Top of the World RV lack this amenity. Most RV campgrounds in the region are pet-friendly with designated dog areas at the larger resorts. Propane fill stations can be found at select locations such as Talona Ridge. Fall and summer represent peak seasons when advance reservations become essential, particularly for premium pull-through sites with lake or mountain views.

    Chattanooga North-Cleveland KOA

    Clean, Quiet, Friendly

    Friendly Staff, Clean Bathrooms, Convenient Location. No honeywagon for water and electric only sites, but dump station in campground. Some very nice private sites and none of the sites except maybe a few look very small or tight- pretty spread out. Lots of tent sites. You definitely hear the highway here, but not a big concern for us. Pet friendly with a very nice dog park. Pool for the kids. Playground is little more than a residential style wood swingset, but it kept the kids entertained.

    Persimmon Creek RV Park

    Convenient access with comfortable amenities!

    Let me start out by saying this was our first campground for our travel trailer.  I don't have a huge point of reference, but I can give you details on everything that was smooth

    • Location - Just off a 4 lane highway.  Convenient with easy access to your site.  Plenty of room to back in to your spot.  There were limited "pull-through" sites.  During the day you can hear highway traffic, but at night that road gets little traffic so it is quiet.
    • The owners are great!  This is a mom & pop operation but you can tell they put their heart into this place.  Both are friendly and accomodating
    • Sites are very spacious.  Our spot was freshly mowed, had a picnic table, fire pit, electric & water hookups.  We had a small stream behind and a pond in front of us.   The site we occupied had trees between our neighbors.  Just enough privacy to not worry if someone was looking in your windows.
    • While I didn't use their public restrooms, my wife said they were VERY VERY clean.  She worked in a hospital for a long time, so if she says they are clean, they are clean.  There were showers available but we did not use them.
    • They have firewood for $5 a bundle.  They encourage you to not bring firewood from other places in order to help prevent bug/disease spread (very common nowadays)
    • Two ponds for fishing.  One was closed till the weather is cooler.  I'm guessing they stock it with trout.
    • LOTS of hiking trails within a short drive.  We visited the Ocoee River and Copper Basin TN.  Easy day trip for hiking, biking, rafting, breweries, restaurants, etc.

    We will definitely visit this spot again.  It's about an hour and 15 minutes from our house but feels like we are further.  Very convenient and worth it for $30 per night. $30 was the RV rate, check their website for the most up to date pricing.

    Twin Lakes RV Park

    A place to park with no bath, no amenities and mostly long term residents

    The 5 star reviews are perplexing. We're not new to RVing and have stayed in plenty of lovely mom& pop parks. This is a family owned campground, but it is basically a parking lot with hookups for people who live there long term. Our site was on the side of a road about 50 yards away from the Dump Station. It was referred to as a premium, pull through rather than what it is... a pull to the side of the road. There was no grass or picnic table. I'll post pictures that show the condition of our site and how close the spots are to one another. The pictures online and YouTube videos of this park are very deceiving. The grassy areas beside and between the lakes can only be accessed by walking though other camper's sites.

    ** Use caution navigating the park because the roads at the back have no way to turn around if you get back there.

    Tallulah Gorge State Park Campground

    Incredible place to hike

    Took my boys after studying the 7 Natural wonders of GA and this gorge is one of them. Did not disappoint. The hike to the bottom is not for the faint of heart. And the steps back up will challenge the most fit among us. But the views and experience is well worth the pain. Campground while being big rig friendly is a little tight ( we have a 42ft motorhome). If your large try to book sites 34 or 35 pull through. No sewers, but easy to use dump station next to the exit. Make sure you add this stop to your Must see list

    411 River Rest Campground

    Very nice campground in N. Georgia

    For summer vacation, my family wanted to spend one day rafting the Ocoee River and one day at Six Flags in Atlanta. We picked this campground due to its location in between and within an 1-1.5hr drive of both activities. Turned out to be a great decision!

    Pros: VERY nice facilities (camp store, bath houses, playground), hospitable owners/staff, kid & pet friendly

    Cons: the provided Wi-Fi was unreliable on back edge of campground (AT&T cell signal was fine)

    Great views but...

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Love the view from our site 13

    Really nice state park located at north end of Lake Lanier. Site 13 was great. Had woods and lake view. Paved pull through site with gravel pad for picnic and fire pit area. Plenty of room for camper, cars and boat trailer. Bathroom facilities were extremely clean, well lighted, no spiders or bugs, etc. Enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Nice beach and swim area, boat docks and 2 boat launch sites, playground, etc. Saw lots of deer and enjoyed walking some of the trails. Will plan a trip in cooler weather fall or spring. Camp hosts were helpful and visitor center staff were very nice. Great cell service too.

Guide to Morganton

Morganton, Georgia sits at the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains at approximately 1,800 feet elevation. Surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest, this area offers camping options with access to Lake Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River. Winter temperatures average between 30-50°F while summer months see temperatures from 65-85°F with typical mountain humidity patterns.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The creeks at Whispering Pines Campground offer stocked trout. According to a family staying at Blue Ridge RV Resort, "kids loved playing in the creek that the owners have stocked regularly with trout, nice playground and pool for the kids, site has a soccer field also and Cornhole boards."

Hiking trails: Several walking paths connect campgrounds to nearby attractions. One camper at Parksville Lake RV Campground noted, "The campground is also in close proximity to a lot of outdoor activities." Many trails lead to scenic overlooks of the surrounding mountains.

Water recreation: During summer months, local lakes and rivers provide swimming and boating options. A visitor at Diamond Lure Campground mentioned, "There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing, etc. I went during Memorial Day weekend so every campsite was being used."

Apple farms and vineyards: Fall visitors can explore nearby orchards. According to one camper, "Diamond Lure is a hidden gem at the foothills of the N. GA mountains. It's in close proximity to multiple apple farms, vineyards and Amicalola Falls."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many rv campgrounds near Morganton provide adequate spacing. At Talona Ridge RV Resort, a guest mentioned, "We were on a very nice end site with plenty of yard space where our rally friends gathered for evening fires."

Mountain views: Several campgrounds offer scenic vistas. A camper at Top of the World RV described "Amazing views of the morning sunrise over the mountain tops" and called it "a true gem hidden in the Tennessee mountains."

Dog-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds have dedicated pet facilities. A visitor to Diamond Lure noted, "The grounds are super clean. There are walking trails, a lake, a beach, and they even have things for dogs! (Dog bath, dog beach, dog park, ect)."

Creek access: Sites along waterways remain popular choices. One camper at Whispering Pines stated, "You can camp along the creek and fall asleep to the running water," while another mentioned "a gurgling creek" adding to the appeal.

What you should know

Low bridges on route: Some access roads have height restrictions. When visiting Peachtree Cove RV Park, one RVer with a 43' fifth wheel noted, "I am 13'6" in height and there is a cable/power line over this site and site 16 that hangs a bit too low and my AC unit got acquainted with it."

Highway noise: Campgrounds near main roads experience traffic sounds. A Peachtree Cove visitor mentioned, "The only drawback we've found is the traffic noise, but this is a narrow valley in the Great Smokies so it can't be helped."

WiFi variability: Internet access quality fluctuates by campground. At Top of the World RV, one reviewer stated, "They have WiFi but not very fast," while another reported "great WiFi."

Seasonal crowding: Holiday weekends bring higher occupancy. A visitor to Diamond Lure reported, "I went during Memorial Day weekend so every campsite was being used, and our tents were a little close together. I'm thinking during normal times though, it might not be so crowded!"

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When selecting rv camping around Morganton, Georgia, look for sites with recreation facilities. One visitor to Blue Ridge RV Resort appreciated the "nice playground and pool for the kids, site has a soccer field also and Cornhole boards."

Swimming options: Campgrounds with water features provide summer cooling opportunities. A Diamond Lure camper mentioned, "There's a little beach to swim in or go fishing, etc."

Site selection: For family gatherings, request spacious areas. A visitor at Rivers Edge Mountain RV Resort noted, "This area had all of the amenities listed and was heavily used. Most sites did not have much shade, keep that in mind if booking a stay here during the hot months."

Hiking considerations: Trail options vary in difficulty near most campgrounds. A visitor to Parksville Lake RV Campground stated it was "convenient to the Ocoee River, the Ocoee Whitewater Center, Parksville Lake beaches and boat ramps, many miles of mountain bike/hiking trails and whitewater rafting."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Gravel sites may require additional equipment. At Top of the World RV, a camper observed, "Because sites are loose gravel, leveling can be a challenge if your rig does not auto level."

Tight navigation: Some campgrounds have limited turning space. A visitor to Parksville Lake noted, "Small Campground but perfect if rafting. We were in 35 foot trailer but some tight turns in camp ground. If large rig then call for advice on site."

Site selection assistance: Staff at family-owned campgrounds often provide personalized help. A Peachtree Cove RVer shared, "Management was very helpful and welcoming. Level gravel sites."

Advance reservations: For large rigs, confirm site dimensions when booking. A visitor at Talona Ridge RV Resort advised, "As our Brinkley G3500 is 13' 8" high, we routed to miss a 13' 7" bridge on a small portion of US-76 just off of US-411."
