If you’re thinking about taking your motorhome up to Georgia, you’re in for a mix of mountains, coast, and city vibes. The state packs everything from the Appalachian Trail to vibrant Savannah streets, and it’s surprisingly friendly to big rigs if you know the shortcuts.
Most UK‑based renters start in the south and head north on I‑75. It’s a straight shot from Atlanta to the Great Smoky Mountains, and the highway is well‑marked for RVs. For a coastal vibe, jump on I‑95 and swing down to Savannah – the road hugs the Atlantic and offers plenty of pull‑over spots for a quick stretch.
Georgia’s campgrounds are a mix of state parks and private sites. Cloudland Canyon State Park has roomy pull‑through sites, modern hookups, and easy trail access. If you prefer the beach, Tybee Island Campground puts you a short walk from the sand and offers full‑size electric and water connections. For a city break, try Atlanta Campground at Stone Mountain – it’s just 20 minutes from downtown and has a quiet, leafy setting.
When you book, look for “full‑size” or “large vehicle” flags. Those sites usually have wider drive‑ways, higher ceilings, and stronger dump stations. A quick call ahead can save you from being turned away at the gate.
Don’t forget the free‑spirit spots. Some national forests, like the Chattahoochee‑Oconee National Forest, let you set up in dispersed areas without a fee. Just follow the basic rules: stay out of private land, keep a clean campsite, and pack out any trash.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
All these spots have Wi‑Fi, so you can post your sunrise pics straight from the road.
Before you roll out, double‑check the height clearance on bridges – the Appalachian stretch has a few low overpasses. Also, fill up on fuel in larger towns; rural pumps can be sparse.
That’s the core of a Georgia motorhome adventure. Pick a route, snag a campsite that fits your rig, and enjoy the blend of nature and Southern charm. Happy travels!
