campgrounds

[Jaidyn]

Is anyone familiar with campgrounds outside of atlanta. Do not want to travel the Atlanta highways. Daughter lives in Buckhead so we are looking for the closest campground we can stop at without getting in the city.

Thank you
Jaidyn

Hi Jaidyn -

Buckhead is effectively in the city so all campgrounds are 45 minutes at least away. For ease of navigation, I would stay at one of the Lake Lanier campgrounds as it is an easy drive down Ga-400 to Buckhead - as long as you don’t drive it in rush hour. Good luck!

We have driven to Atlanta before with a Class A motorhome and really don't want to do it again. We are looking for the easiest route for a motorhome. Was looking into Lake Lanear which is about 45 miles from my daughter in Buckhead.

Atlanta Marietta RV Resort Park just outside Buckhead.

coming from the Atlanta area, I know it well, but, yes, you'll have quite a drive in to see your Daughter in Buckhead - but that's o.k. if that is comfortable for you...

here's some decent/good/*fine options, depending on where you want to be:

A)*Stone Mountain Park Campground, of course...
B)Stone Mountain HEIGHTS RV Park, near Stone Mountain
C)Ghost Hill Campground, near Stone Mountain

D)Jones RV Park, I85 NE near Norcross

E)*Sweet Water Creek State Park campground, I20 southwest

F)Sweet Water Creek RV Preserve, I20 northwest, old Alabama Rd
G)Atlanta West Campground, I20 northwest, old Alabama Rd

H)Atlanta Marietta RV Resort, I75 northwest, Cobb Parkway

I)*Alatoona Landing Campground, I75 northwest, old Alatoona Rd
J)*McKinney Campground(COE), I75 northwest, Glade Rd
K)Holiday Harbor Campground, I75 northwest, Groovers Landing rd

L)Twin Lakes RV Park, US19/400 North, Lake Rd
M)*Bald Ridge Creek Campground(COE),us19/400 north

these are just a few, if you GOOGLE MAP with the term 'campground' in the area you wish to 'camp', you'll find plenty of options....zoom in or out and you'll see even more : )


been there, done that! Especially at McKinney Campground ... a little ways 'away', but everything is just about right on the water, especially if you can get site #110, on the peninsula, all by yourself!
