Best RV Parks & Resorts near Winder, GA

My husband and I called the Atlanta South KOA campground to make reservations for the night on October 16, 2020, as we were traveling across country to sell one of our homes. We felt safer driving, rather than flying, due to the Corona Virus pandemic. We made 2 round trips back and forth, from Florida to Oregon to accomplish this. We told the man at the desk, who took our reservation, we had a 22’campervan and we would be in about 7:30 PM. We told him it was a Pacifica, and when asked about what class it was I told him I had no idea. He apparently wrote down that it was class b, as that is what appeared on our receipt. We told him we had no sewer hookup and would prefer to be close to the bathrooms, and if they happen to have a back in site we would prefer that also. We paid the$45 and completed the reservation. Our van is a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica with the conversion in it to create the campervan as stated here: https://www.contravans.com/chrysler-pacifica-details We arrived on time and just wanted to get right to sleep, to begin the last day of driving in the morning. At 11:30 PM we were awoken by the manager and one other man beating on the window saying“we lied” and need to be out immediately. My husband calmly asked him what he meant. He said we weren’t in a campervan and need to leave now. The manager was holding a 20” metal Maglight flashlight that he was pounding in his hand to intimidate us. We felt he was ready for a George Floyd incident, although we are white. I went out of the van and asked him how we had lied. He said there is a campervan named the Pacifica also and ours was not a campervan. I have since looked this up and the Pacifica RV is a HUGE motorhome. I never implied to be anything close to that Pacifica. He said a campervan needed a toilet attached to the floor, although the camper right beside us was a mini 4’ high trailer and didn’t have one. The conversation escalated because we were dumbfounded this was happening and very afraid of what he was forcing us to do. We are senior citizens and peacefully traveling across country to get business done and he was telling us to leave after driving 12 hours that day. He said we were to go stay in a Walmart in Atlanta, Georgia, in the middle of the night. He was totally unreasonable, rude and threatening. He ended up calling the police to have us escorted out, but we chose to leave before they arrived, but saw three police cars drive by as we were leaving. We have never experienced anything like the treatment we received at the Mcdonough, GA RV park, and we have used KOA campgrounds since 1977. We felt in extreme danger being expelled in that part of town in the middle of the night without enough sleep, and if we would have had an incident of any kind we would have sued both Altanta Sound RV Resort and the Good Sam Campgrounds for endangering us, with a high probability of success. We did not tell any lies, but apparently he presumed something and decided we needed to pay for it. These two were like thugs and I will be placing this review on every venue I can find to get it into. We have read other reviews about the behavior of these tyrants and it is similar to what we experienced. He even said he has control over the reviews so he didn’t care about anything we had to say. The most aggressive one had long white hair, and the other one had short white hair, just for some degree of identification.

What a great park! Situated at the far north end of Lake Lanier, this Georgia state park is awesome! One of the best things about it for RV/trailer camping is the huge distance between camp sites! Had a spot about 35yds from the shore next to a wooded area. Super clean everywhere around the park. There is a beach and equestrian center, boating, fishing and a bunch of trails for hiking both dirt and paved. About an hour from where I live and I’ll be back!

Beautiful views at nearly every site! You can tell they are working on updating things and taking better care of the park this year. Sites have narrow parking areas but most have big outdoor living areas with fire pit and table. Then even off some long term parking. We loved that you could bring your boat and leave it docked at your site. Also great swimming areas!

This campground is ok to stay at on the road just for an evening of rest to catch up on grocery or amenities for the trip ahead and maybe a quick dip in the pool, showers were clean . Campers are very close and alot of long term live ins like I said a good close to hwy overnight cause your tired nothing for kids but the pool and a lil playground

Ashley here with The Dyrt! We're excited to welcome this property owner that shares 48 acres of tent camping to our community. There are also 2 full hook up RV sites available. Ten miles from Jackson Lake and canoeing opportunities along Ocmulgee River. Give them some love and try them out!

Located on Lake Oconee, North Shore Landing is a KOA/TRA campground. There is a dock to fish from, and a boat launch if you want to go out. There's some very large catfish in the lake, 30+ lbs. There's also bass, blue gill and crappie. The campground is per friendly, full hook-up, with WiFi (pay for premium). There is a pool, clubhouse and 24 hour laundry that's $3 per load, w&d. There's a dog park, basketball and cornhole. Propane fill and dump station.

This park is located  just south of Atlanta an d is a great place to overnight on your way to a destination, or for more long term stay for out of town workers. Lots of shopping and good restaurants nearby

Great staff,  grounds very and clean neatly kept.  A little snug getting in and out with a big rig, but absolutely doable.

A great place to pull off of I75 and get out of the traffic . Sleep in and then take off when traffic is not so heavy!!

The 5 star reviews are perplexing. We're not new to RVing and have stayed in plenty of lovely mom& pop parks. This is a family owned campground, but it is basically a parking lot with hookups for people who live there long term. Our site was on the side of a road about 50 yards away from the Dump Station. It was referred to as a premium, pull through rather than what it is... a pull to the side of the road. There was no grass or picnic table. I'll post pictures that show the condition of our site and how close the spots are to one another. The pictures online and YouTube videos of this park are very deceiving. The grassy areas beside and between the lakes can only be accessed by walking though other camper's sites.

** Use caution navigating the park because the roads at the back have no way to turn around if you get back there.

Due to the ongoing apocalypse, we have had plenty of time to camp lately! We have stayed here, in the park, multiple times over the last month.

As always, the park is clean and well-maintained. Although most of the facilities are closed right now, the park staff and volunteers were constantly working to ensure everything is clean and working properly.

Both of the camp hosts, Pam and Sue, were constantly riding around checking on guests and were more than helpful if you needed them.

On this particular visit, we stayed on site # 2 (full hook up) and there was plenty of room to stretch out! We stayed in our 26’ travel trailer.

We were able to walk off of the back of our site and onto the trail system, which is perfect because we are avid hikers.

Thanks for another great stay! We will be back!
