Coal Mine Ranch RV Park

Families with young children gravitate toward Coal Mine Ranch RV Park for its on-site water park, which operates during daytime hours and hosts evening movie nights on a projector screen. The private campground sits on gravel sites with full hookups for RVs, though shade coverage remains limited across the property. A mix of short-term visitors and long-term residents occupy the sites, with about half the campers staying full-time during winter months.

The facility includes restrooms, showers, and a bathhouse, though maintenance frequency varies by season. Pets roam freely throughout the grounds, and the small dumpster sometimes overflows between collections. Management operates with limited on-site presence, even during posted office hours. For additional camping choices, explore sites around Athens or consider Log Cabin City Park northwest of the area.

Many campers appreciated the excellent water park and family activities that kept children entertained throughout their stay. Visitors often highlighted friendly owners and clean facilities during peak season, though winter guests noted reduced maintenance and management presence.

No office help here.

We were here for two months in the winter. Looks like about half the campers are here full time. No management on site, even during posted office hours. Small dumpster is always full or overflowing. Seems like no one enforces the rules so dogs and unsupervised kids running amuck. Bathrooms need to be cleaned more than once a week. Not a bad property, could be nice in the summer.

Family Oriented Camping

My kids are already asking when we are coming back. The owners and staff are super friendly. The water park kept my kids happy the entire weekend. Only drawback was not open past 5 pm but I understand why (they do private parties). Plenty activities for kids. They set up a movie night on the projector. CLEAN BATHROOMS AND SHOWERS. Overall an amazing experience.

Nice little water park & full hookups!

There were some drawbacks to the sites, but the water area made it all worth it for us and our toddler! He had a BLAST. Nice clean gravel sites, though a little sandy & not a ton of shade. Full hookups, bath house, and a very nice little water park. They sell affordable food at the water area, though you’re not allowed to bring food in the water area. Super friendly owners. Family owned.
