With spring in full gear and summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect weather for camping. Pack up your gear and fishing rod (and don’t forget the smores) – and enjoy the outdoors of northwest Georgia!
Kingston Downs
You may never want to sleep indoors again after you’ve experienced this luxurious campsite; camping doesn’t get any better than Kingston Downs. Enjoy fishing or a paddle trip down the river that runs through the property.
Cedar Creek Park
Relax by the river at Cedar Creek Park in Cave Spring. They offer fun amenities including canoe-kayak rentals, fishing, hiking, biking and driving range.
Another Cave Spring camping option is the Cave Spring RV Campground located in the historic downtown, where you can walk to shopping and dining.
Lock & Dam Campground Park
Whether you brought your RV or a primitive tent, Lock and Dam has you covered. Select sites feature direct sewer hook-up and river views. Bask in the sun while fishing and exploring nature trails.
Rocky Mountain Recreation Area
Sporting two lakes and a total of 559 acres, Rocky Mountain Recreation Area offers a beach for swimming, lakes for fishing, biking trails and archery.
Brushy Branch Campground
Located on the back waters of Lake Weiss, this campground offers all the amenities you need with easy water access to the lake for fishing.
Rome Tennis Center at Berry College – RV Camping
If you love tennis, Berry’s tennis center is sure to serve as the prefect RV campground. This is the only campsite not located on one of Rome’s rivers, but it is only 3 miles from the nearest boat ramp at Heritage Park.
The Pocket
The Pocket, formally the Civilian Conservation Corp Camp F-16, is a great place to camp and immerse yourself in nature. Take a stroll on the 2.5 mile (walking only) trail and view the landscape and forest of the Ridge and Valley area of northwest Georgia.
RV Dump Stations
Many campgrounds offer a dump station including Cedar Creek Park, Lock and Dam Park, and Rocky Mountain Recreation.
For the other sites, a dump station is located nearby at the Georgia’s Rome Welcome Center. This dumpsite is for recreational vehicles only (commercial vehicles are not allowed) and is open Monday to Saturday; you must stop by the Welcome Center to get a key to dump.
