What campers like
River views: Cedar Creek RV & Outdoor Center receives praise for its natural setting. "We parked our 22ft travel trailer at site 30 which was bounded to the north and east by the tent camping area...

What you should know
Variable site conditions: Some RV parks have uneven terrain. According to a Cedar Creek visitor: "The only bad thing…the flies! Bring fly traps." Another noted: "The sites are TINY.

Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: When booking at RV campgrounds near Rockmart, Georgia, choose carefully. "We booked one of their cheaper sites, a classic pull-thru site. To say the least, it was the TIGHTEST pull thru site we have ever booked," warned a Winding Waters visitor.
Long-term vs. overnight options: Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve has specific accommodations. "Sweetwater Creek RV Reserve is definitely urban. The sites aren't much wider than the trailers. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the sites looked to be occupied by long-term residents but all of the units looked to be in good repair," one RVer reported.
Weather planning: Seasonal conditions affect campground experience. "It was packed and they have so many sites... Since it's new there's no shade at all, so I can't imagine how hot it is in the summer and with all the big rigs blasting their a/c," noted a visitor describing summer conditions.
