Why Choose Georgia State Parks for Your RV Getaway?

We know how simple it is to organize an RV vacation and wind up at cookie-cutter, generic RV resorts that are impersonal. Too many times you’ve got an open field grass parking lot, looking into your neighbor’s window. Or, Georgia State Parks can provide a welcome alternative. With low nightly charges and preparing your own meals, RV travel is already budget-friendly. There are big campgrounds with water and electricity hookups, and a few even have sewer hookups. Additionally, there are many facilities that are specifically designed just for RVers. Many include mini-putts, dump stations and ranger activities, camp stores and visitor centers. RV life is all about taking it easy, and the state parks in Georgia are designed for exactly that.

PRO Tip: Opt for off-peak visits to dodge crowds. Remember to inquire about senior or military discounts!
