Full RV hookups

Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at all sites.

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.

Under construction but $ + location

22 ft campervan · With pets ·

Rustic Chic RV site (Emory)

Appreciated the location, the fenced in security and was able to access water & the 15 amp power. Our surge protector wouldn’t work w/the 50 amp as it showed as not grounded, & the rv dump locations were too far away for us to reach w/our Travatos set-up & hose length. Hopefully with the future construction plans will build out this location even further… still worked out great for our quick two night stop to visit the Georgia Aquarium w/a quick Uber. Owner Rik was quickly responsive & promising of future development since it’s still early days… we would be comfortable staying again just understanding things are still be finished on-site.

Rustic Chic RV site (Avondale)

The listing looks much better in pictures than the actual site and it is in a bad area of town. When we arrived, the gate was closed with no information how to get in. We called the number on the listing and it went to a wrong number. We finally got in after waiting for about 20-30 minutes. Some of the hook ups worked and some didn’t, we had to use other sites hook ups and only 120V worked. The host let us know that we could get a code to enter and leave but the code didn’t work on the door. This site has potential but needs lots of work to be in good condition

Camp near downtown Atlanta.

Rustic Chic RV site (Avondale)

This camp is very convenient to Atlanta attractions. Grant Park, the Zoo, Mercedes Benz stadium, and downtown Atlanta all very close. Easy back-in spots with plenty of room for my 33' 5th wheel. The owner/host, Rik, was very attentive to my needs. Oh yeah. You can't beat the price.

Atlanta’s Hidden Gem!

24 ft Class B ·

Rustic Chic RV site (Emory)

Risin’ RV was very impressive in an understated way. They have hand-built most (or maybe all) of the lumber on a massive lumber mill out back. The bays are perfectly level and have very cool log dividers. Rik is super-friendly. and accommodating. I got a very pleasant feeling on the property. Will certainly stay here again!

Rustic Chic RV site (Emory)

I stayed overnight in my motorhome because I had an event in Atlanta. The site is under construction which they made clear when I booked. I feel these folks are building something special here. They are super friendly and accommodating. I’ll come back to see the finished product if I’m ever traveling through again.
