RV Camping in Southern Georgia
TL;DR: Southern Georgia offers RVers scenic camping spots with Harvest Hosts. Explore Adel, Valdosta, Kingsland, Albany, Brunswick, & Jekyll Island for diverse experiences.
“The Peach State” is appropriately named for its production of 3-5% of the nation’s peach crop, but southern Georgia is even sweeter than peaches. It is situated right above Florida and has several lakes scattered throughout the area, the Atlantic Ocean to the East, and a weather average of 70-80 degrees during March and April, making this the land of opportunity for RVers. The opportunities are even greater with a Harvest Hosts membership since there are many camping locations in southern Georgia with no camping fees. Want to see more? Find RV camping in Georgia here.
1) Adel
This southern town is known as the “City of Daylilies” and even has an annual daylily festival each May. One of the most popular attractions is the South Georgia Motorsports Park that has weekly events throughout the spring and summer and attracts people from all over the area. If you’re looking to enjoy the nice weather, head to Reed Bingham State Park for some hiking, fishing, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. After a long day of exploring, head over to Horse Creek Winery which is just over five minutes away from downtown Adel. Anyone can take advantage of sampling some of their award-winning wines on a tasting tour, but only Harvest Host members get to stay the night in their RV!
2) Valdosta
Valdosta has always had rich ties to the soils of the area which allowed the town to flourish into what it is today. This town became known as “South Georgia’s Regional City” and continues to produce peanuts, pecans, cotton, sweet potatoes, and more. Raisin’ Cane is a farm located in Valdosta and features a market and a restaurant that offers take-home items, such as casseroles, for folks at home (or in an RV!) to bake themselves for an easy dinner alternative.Visitors can also take one of Miss Kate’s Deep South Tours in order to be acquainted with the best foods and wines that Valdosta has to offer. Families will enjoy spending the day at Wild Adventures Theme Park. This park has roller coasters and hundreds of exotic animals for a unique theme park experience. Less than twenty minutes from downtown Valdosta is Lake Park Campground where RVers can enjoy paved sites with full hookups, and access to a catch-and-release pond on-site. They also rent paddle boats and have a playground, making this the perfect end to a family day.
