Risin' RV

6 sites · RVs2 acres · Atlanta, GA

Our 501(c)(3) Non-Profit campsite has soft opening under way! This means we don't have many frills, but we are by far the closest RV site to central Atlanta, and the only one on MARTA public transit (right outside the gate). We are a rare gem in this city. One of the last areas that have been allowed to return to nature after being farmed until the 1960s. We are surrounded by 100s of acres of parkland, and yet are only 5 minutes drive from almost everything you will need. You will see the hand cut terraces put in by the farm workers and then the forest has spent the last 50 years taking it back. Still lots of old growth trees around though. The county just purchased/swapped 50 more acres to go with the hundreds more under it's watch. There is a 14 mile concrete trail that runs behind the property and all the way out along the south river. Quite the hike or bike if you fancy a good walk. There is a 18 hole golf course, sports fields, public pool and YMCA type community center all along the trail and walking distance from the campsite. We are a 501c3 non-profit church that is still in the early days of it's mission. Your donation to our site helps fund our mission and keeps the lights on. We are massively focussed on permaculture as the only sustainable way of life and rapidly moving towards being totally carbon neutral. You will be up close on our early days and see our Solar Roof Cabin (a total of 300 panels and 70kW output when completed). We make a lot of our infrastructure from windfallen and site development trees that are cut and shaped on our own electric sawmill. Much of the rest of the renovations are done using upcycled and donated materials. We are working towards: Total energy and water independence Total structural material independence Food independence via aquaponic farming Providing solar powered refrigerated space to local food distros Providing local kids (and adults) access to training on permaculture and living with minimal impact on the planet. Teaching people so they can teach others and pay it forward. Come support our mission by staying with us. Help out with your building or farming or engineering skills if you like. Naturally tax deductible financial donations are always helpful and help speed our progress.

Burton's Beautiful Hollow

2 sites · Tents30 acres · Cave Spring, GA

This creek property was probably used by the Creek and then the Cherokee as a campsite because of the abundant water and wild life. Later is was farm land and in the 1920's had approximately fifty mules working the land. The Old barn and blacksmith shop are still here. In 1977 the government planned to put a four lane toll road through here but was stopped by the oil embargo which caused the right of way to be auctioned. We were able to buy 200 acres for a small amount of money and have been raising cattle and camping on it every since that time. As a Scout Master I have been using this site for camping for the past 15 years. Time to let others enjoy. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent or hammock in a grove of hardwood trees in a nice meadow on the banks of Lake Creek with old timey swimming hole. It is about 8 feet deep in center going to about 4' at sides and 20 feet long. Big stone grill is provided as well as large fire pit. Kindling and firewood is provided. ten minute walk to the main house for potable water and other needs. 37 acre farm with hills and a wide variety of wildlife and plants to inspect. Camp is in rural area couple hundred yards off county road but secluded. Plenty of deer, turkey, geese, wild ducks, beaver and other wild life in the area. A secondary campsite is provided down the creek with area for tent near creek. Fire pit and firewood is provided.

Aquino acres

5 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Stockbridge, GA

I have 2 large fields that rarely get used so I thought it would be fun to let others use them. I don't have any hookups but 1 field has a well on it. I wouldn't drink from the well but it could be used for other things. Very safe quiet area. Its just a mini hobby farm but you're more than welcome to check out the chickens and my pig Peppa. If the chickens are laying good I will get you some fresh eggs.

The best camping near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park guide

Overview

About

About 25 miles north of Atlanta marks the spot where 160,000 troops met in battle at Kennesaw Mountain. Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston and his troops stalled Union Gen. William T. Sherman on his march to Atlanta. History buffs can view the dramatic landscape as southern troops tried one last gamble, in vain, to prevent Sherman from reaching Atlanta.

Within the park itself, see nearly 11 miles of earthen works that deterred advancing troops. Confederate forces slowed Sherman's troops down with these walls, but they couldn't stop the massive columns of men maneuvering to take Atlanta.

Living history demos and guided tours happen throughout the year to give you a sense for what happened over a two-week period in the summer of 1864. Park rangers and volunteers show you monuments on the grounds of the park that commemorate the men who gave their lives here.

Kennesaw Mountain has more than just history awaiting you and your family. If you start at the visitor's center, you can hike 1.4 miles up the road and another 1.2 miles on walking trails to reach the summit of the peak. The actual change in elevation is 700 feet. There is a road that goes the mountaintop that's open on weekdays if you want to motor to the top. On weekends, a shuttle service takes you to the peak.

Feel close to nature with 17 miles of interpretive trails on the grounds of the park. A paved road provides a great bike trail. Feel free to walk your leashed pooch as long as the leash is less than 6 feet long. Picnic areas let you enjoy lunch while visiting, and grills allow you to prepare a hearty meal for a summertime getaway in this day-use park. Colorful foliage in the fall makes for beautiful scenery.
