RV camping near Perry, Georgia provides convenient overnight options for travelers along I-75, with locations situated both directly in town and in neighboring communities within 30 miles. The mid-Georgia climate averages 89°F in summer months and mild 50-60°F winter temperatures, making year-round camping viable. Most sites accommodate everything from small trailers to large Class A motorhomes on level, gravel or concrete pads.
What to do
Local exploration: 20-minute drive to historic Milledgeville from Scenic Mountain RV Park. "Not a lot of light but if you have your fire pit going and your flashlight you'll be good. There are some nice short trails and a small dog park with agility equipment. Milledgeville is close by and your campground hosts have compiled a list of nearby places to visit AND a list for emergencies, to include a Veterinarian which I thought was pretty awesome," reports one visitor.
Fishing opportunities: Stock ponds on property at several parks. "Hiked the trails around the ponds and caught a few bass," mentions a camper at Scenic Mountain RV Park. The facilities typically don't require Georgia fishing licenses when fishing on private property.
Children's activities: Splash pad and playground available at Love's RV Stop-Cordele. "The splash pad is great for the kids. They have one pickleball court and a very short 'trail.' This is a perfect place to arrive late, hookup, sleep, eat breakfast and peace out. Fast and easy," notes a camper.
What campers like
Clean, accessible bath facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms. At Twin Oaks RV Park, "The showers were spotless. We will be visiting Twin Oaks again," a reviewer commented. Another noted, "The distance between sites (that are easily identified with posted numbers) makes you feel like your not sitting on top of your neighbor."
Dog-friendly amenities: Designated pet areas at numerous locations. "There was a fenced in dog area which was really nice for those of us traveling with pets," explains a Twin Oaks visitor. Love's RV Stop offers "dog park with a side for large dogs and another for small dogs. They had a little splash park playground and a pickleball court."
Digital connectivity: Most parks provide reliable internet access. "We got 4 bars LTE on Verizon. Currently, there are no mature trees near any of the sites, so satellite would not be a problem. Their Wifi worked okay," mentions a camper at Love's RV Stop.
What you should know
Late arrival procedures: Many parks accommodate after-hours check-ins. At Fair Harbor RV Park, "We received an email the day before confirming our reservation and to call if we weren't in by 6pm. Our arrival was at 9 so the early call left our check-in info posted and easily obtained upon arrival."
Seasonal travelers impact: Winter brings increased occupancy. "Most parks in the region appear to have a mix of overnight and longer-term residents. "It seems like this park is half long term folks and half overnighters. We stayed for 6 days and took advantage of the area to relax, explore and take care of things like scheduled auto maintenance and supply shopping," notes a Twin Oaks camper.
Bug awareness: Red ants can be an issue in summer months. "Keep in mine this is Georgia so check for red any's. A couple spots we decided not to take as the ants were right next to water/electric hookups. You can see they try and keep the any population down, but if you lived in the south you know that's an everyday chore," warns a Southern Trails RV Resort visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly parks: Several locations offer dedicated play areas. "Our 1, 3 and 5 year olds loved the playground. We were the only ones on it and it is in great shape. Dog run looks great too. Bathrooms very clean. Not a destination but an excellent place to stop," mentions a Twin Oaks reviewer.
Swimming options: Seasonal pool availability varies. "Clean and beautifully maintained facilities and grounds," notes a Scenic Mountain visitor, where an in-ground pool operates during warmer months.
Entertainment amenities: Recreation options for different age groups. At Perry Ponderosa RV Park, there's "propane fill station, WiFi, laundry room, shower house, bathroom's and a small playground. Easily accessible right off the highway, level sites, 30 & 50 Amp, Water & Sewer and many pull through sites."
Tips from RVers
Level sites important: Most parks maintain flat, stable spots. "This has to be the easiest check in and set up ever! We made a reservation and they were ready with our map and site. The site was both long enough for our rig AND level..a rarity in our experience," explains a Fair Harbor camper.
Easy access for larger rigs: Wide access roads accommodate big vehicles. "Very easy check in and great price through Passport America," notes a Southern Trails visitor. Another reports, "The pull through full hook up sites are small but adequate but do not give much room for parking your tow rig."
Water pressure considerations: Brings pressure regulators. "The water pressure was good at around 51 psi," notes a Love's RV Stop camper. Most parks maintain consistent water quality but pressure can vary by site location.
