What you should know

Weather considerations: The region experiences occasional severe storms that can impact camping plans.

Tips for camping with families

Local attractions: The region offers numerous family-friendly destinations within short driving distance. "Close to quaint Mentone and majestic DeSoto Falls," notes Lisa J., providing options for day trips from campgrounds.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose carefully based on your rig size and preferences. "We opted for the creek view and you should too!" advises Katie D. at Cedar Creek, suggesting the slight inconvenience of backing in is worth the improved setting.
Leveling preparations: Many sites in the region require adjustment for proper leveling. "The sites weren't particularly level, all gravel and the grass appeared hastily sown over unleveled soil with large clumps of clay and rocks present," warns Randy G. about Wills Creek RV Park, recommending bringing additional leveling blocks.
Water pressure management: Some campgrounds have variable water pressure. "Water pressure was slightly over 40 psi which made my water pump run continuously until I just shut it off," reports Michael about Cedar Creek, suggesting bringing a pressure regulator for RV camping near Mount Berry, Georgia.
