Redan RV parks sit within Georgia's Piedmont region where gently rolling hills meet pine and oak forests at elevations around 1,000 feet above sea level. Summers bring high humidity with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, while winter nights occasionally drop below freezing. Most campgrounds remain accessible year-round with seasonal rate fluctuations during Atlanta's peak tourism periods.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: The small lake at Twin Lakes RV Park offers convenient fishing without traveling far from your campsite. "There are several swings overlooking the lake for a very relaxing view. You're allowed to fish in the lake, but no swimming or kayaking," notes Alanna W.
Hiking trails: Located 15 miles west of Redan, Stone Mountain Park Campground offers extensive hiking opportunities. "We saw a lot of beautiful wildlife while hiking," reports Jennifer T., making it suitable for nature observation and photography.
Golf courses: Several campgrounds provide easy access to local golf courses. Stone Mountain Park features an on-site golf course, with one camper mentioning, "The campground offers everything you would ever need. There are tons of things to do from Golf, hiking, zoo, laser show, food."
What campers like
Private wooded sites: Many RV parks near Redan feature tree coverage that provides privacy between sites. At Atlanta-Marietta RV Park, a reviewer mentioned, "It was beautifully wooded and offered plenty of space/privacy from other campsites."
Proximity to Atlanta attractions: Campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring metro Atlanta. Mike N. chose Atlanta-Marietta RV Park "strictly for sporting events as it's close by and is relatively quiet considering how close it is to the highway."
Family-friendly environments: Pine Lake RV Campground receives consistent praise for its cleanliness and management. "Beautifully maintained and Super clean! The staff is so friendly and the manager and campground owner both live on site," reports Chris O.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most Redan area RV parks require advance booking, especially during baseball season and summer months. At Atlanta South RV Resort, a camper noted, "We stopped last minute here on Christmas they were almost booked out."
Site spacing considerations: Site proximity varies significantly between parks. Susan & Kevin W. described Atlanta South RV Resort as "definitely an RV park, not resort. No frills and packed tighter than sardines, but easy and convenient for a one night stay."
Limited tent camping options: Most facilities near Redan primarily accommodate RVs rather than tent campers. At Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve, a reviewer pointed out, "The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. You definitely won't sit outside for the scenery."
Tips for camping with families
Find parks with playgrounds: Limited play facilities exist at most RV parks. One camper at Atlanta South RV Resort mentioned, "There aren't a lot of spots open, at least during our stay. They seem to be pretty level spots, not much of a yard space. Pool was clean and good size."
Consider day trips: Stone Mountain Park offers numerous family activities beyond camping. A visitor shared, "There's all kind of activities for the kids. They have free transportation within the park/campground area."
Ask about noise levels: Highway proximity affects sleep quality at some locations. At Jones RV Park, a reviewer noted, "It's pretty close to the highway so at night you can hear the cars. Everyone is really nice, neighbors help each other if needed, and it's very quiet too."
Tips from RVers
Check for specific RV restrictions: Some parks have limitations on RV types. Kay M. reported about Atlanta South RV Resort: "I called to ask if Skoolie's were allowed on the property and the nice lady that answered the phone said that the owner does not allow them."
Confirm utility connections: Hookup placement varies between parks. For Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve, one RVer warned, "Forget the fact that water and sewer were on wrong side. Forget that water and sewer were gross and almost touching each other."
Note road conditions: Park access may present challenges for larger rigs. Jason E. appreciated Atlanta South RV Resort because "The sites here are a little close, but it's big rig friendly, and so is the staff."
