What to do

Hike Currahee Mountain: 3-mile trail with 800-foot elevation gain just 5 minutes from Currahee RV Park. "5 mins from Currahee Mountain and 10 mins from downtown Toccoa," notes a camper who appreciated the convenient location to both nature and town amenities.
Visit downtown Franklin: Small town shops approximately 15 minutes from camping options.

What campers like
Creek access: Private waterside spots at Currahee RV Park offer direct water features. "We were lucky enough to get a spot overlooking a creek on the property. We had a little deck that was perfect to back our toy hauler up to and open the back. I loved sitting on the deck with our dogs, tea, and a good magazine," shares a visitor who extended their stay.
Connectivity: Reliable internet service for remote workers staying in the region. One camper at Willow Valley RV Resort notes, "Super fast WiFi so didn't need our tailgater and just used the smart TVs," making it suitable for those needing to balance work and recreation.
Quieter camping options: Peaceful sites away from busier tourist areas. "Nice quiet. Close to mountains. Highly recommend," states a review about Currahee RV Park, which offers a tranquil alternative to more crowded campgrounds.
What you should know
Site configurations vary widely: Some parks feature close quarters while others provide more spacious arrangements. At Carolina Landing RV Resort, "The sites are very close together. Also, our site was super unlevel. I felt unsafe with our fifth wheel's two left tires up in the air after auto-leveling."
Seasonal availability impacts amenities: Pool facilities typically operate May through September. "In-season, a pool" is available at multiple locations, but check operating schedules before booking summer stays.
Reservation requirements: Many parks require advance booking, especially during fall foliage season. "The whole check-in process is a little strange for this RV park, and the sites are first come first serve," notes a Carolina Landing visitor, highlighting the importance of understanding reservation policies.
Tips for camping with families
Playground availability: Multiple age-appropriate options for children at Creekwood Resort. Though one important note: "The park is however for adults only," making it unsuitable for families with children.
Activity planning: Schedule around facility hours to avoid disappointment. One camper reported, "We had our grandson with us and the playground was closed off, and the pool closed at 4:30. Our hope was to spend some late afternoon time at the pool, but that didn't work out."
Spacious common areas: Green spaces provide room for children to play. "There is a large green space in the center of the campground and a small creek accessible from most of the sites," notes a visitor describing the layout at Riverbend RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Pad surface considerations: Concrete and gravel options affect stabilization requirements. "Some sites are paved, and some are gravel. They are rated Economy, Premium, or Super Premium, although it was difficult for me to see the difference between some of these sites," explains a camper at Willow Valley RV Resort.
Size restrictions: Length limitations affect larger motorhomes and fifth wheels. "Definitely have smaller sites here. Use caution if you have a bigger rig," warns a camper about certain parks in the region.
Road challenges: Navigation difficulties on certain access routes. At River Vista RV Park, "We had a great spot with full hookups including cable TV," but others note that mountain roads leading to some rv parks around Turnerville require careful driving, especially for larger rigs.
