RV sites near Newnan, Georgia occupy mostly level terrain amid Georgia's Piedmont region where elevations average 700-1,100 feet. The area experiences moderate year-round climate with hot summers where temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through August. Cell service can be unreliable at several camping locations, with coverage weakest in more rural western areas.
What to do
Kayaking on the Tallapoosa River: Tallapoosa River RV and Outdoor Center provides direct river access for paddlers. "We had a blast kayaking," reports Brandi P., while Sam O. notes "Sites are right on the water and well cleared and maintained."
Safari adventure: Located south of Newnan, Pine Mountain RV Resort offers proximity to Wild Animal Safari. "Very close to Calloway Gardens, FDR State Park, and Animal Safari! Nice quiet and clean sites," says Cari P.
Sports events: The Atlanta area provides major league sports opportunities with convenient camping options. "I use this park strictly for sporting events as it's close by and is relatively quiet considering how close it is to the highway," explains Mike N. about camping near Atlanta.
What campers like
Private sites: Campers appreciate adequate spacing between sites at certain RV parks. At Pine Mountain RV Resort, "Our site had full hook ups to include cable TV and grass on both side of the RV which was great for our fur babies," notes Bryan D.
Family-friendly amenities: The Beautiful Rock Campground provides diverse camping options. "A great campground with sites for tents, RVs, and even cabins. Well organized so that different camping experiences have designated spaces making for better experiences for everyone," writes Asher K.
Seasonal U-pick opportunities: Some campgrounds offer unique agricultural experiences. "Visit in the month of April & May so you can pick strawberries & blueberries," recommends Ashley F. about Lone Oak RV Flower Farm.
What you should know
Long-term vs. short-term options: Some RV parks primarily cater to extended-stay residents. At South Oaks RV Park, "Just called the park they are no longer nightly or weekly they only do long-term," reports Tammy T.
Payment requirements: Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve uses a non-traditional check-in process. "Everything was handled via text and email messages before I arrived. Once on-site, I never saw an employee or an office," explains Art Z., adding "the site was clean and the utilities worked."
Reservation policies: Some campgrounds require advance payment with restrictive cancellation terms. "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," cautions Larry M.
Tips for camping with families
Look for dedicated play areas: Select campgrounds with child-friendly facilities. "We ended up spending more time sitting and watching them just play in the grass than we really thought. The restrooms near 185 were large and very clean," shares Hunter K. about his experience with children at Pine Mountain RV Resort.
Consider pool options: Atlanta South RV Resort provides multiple water features. "There is a really nice and well maintained pool, hot tub, and splash area for small kids," mentions one reviewer about recreational options.
Check site spacing: Family camping benefits from adequate room to spread out. "The RV sites near the pool are concrete pads and well spaced out," notes a camper, which provides space for children's activities.
Tips from RVers
Check hookup placement: At some RV sites, utility connections may be awkwardly positioned. "Forget the fact that water and sewer were on wrong side. Forget that water and sewer were gross and almost touching each other," warns one RVer about their experience at a local campground.
Be aware of seasonal rates: Monthly rates can vary substantially between RV parks in the area. "Rent went up to $750 for a 50amp site and $700 for a 30amp site for the month," reports Richard M. about one park, while another campground advertises competitive monthly rates with full hookups.
Self-sufficient options: Chattahoochee RV Park provides basic accommodations in a quieter setting away from Atlanta traffic. "Peaceful. I didn't hear a thing!!" reports Crystal G. about her stay at this more remote option.
