Campervans, Motorhomes and RVs for Hire in Georgia
You’ll be surprised at what a varied road trip experience Georgia offers! From the historic streets and Spanish-moss-covered squares of Savannah to the mountains and waterfalls of North Georgia, an RV gives you the freedom to experience the whole state at your own pace.
Pick up your RV from one of the many available depots and head towards Atlanta if you’re looking for big-city attractions. Then continue east towards the coast, or turn north towards the National Parks for hiking, stunning scenery and cute mountain towns. Georgia's compact size makes it possible to see just about everything in a single trip.
With your accommodation travelling with you, there's no need to plan every night around a hotel. Stop for a few days beside a lake, spend a weekend exploring a historic town or use Georgia as the starting point for a wider Southern USA road trip.
Why Explore Georgia by RV?
Georgia is gorgeously well suited to RV road tripping because there's just so much to see, and it’s all within manageable driving distance. You can move from city to countryside, mountains to coastline and historic attractions to outdoor adventures without once having to pack up your things to go.
The state also has an extensive campground network. Georgia State Parks alone offer more than 2,700 campsites across 41 parks, including RV sites with water and electrical hook-ups, pull-through pitches and dump stations.
For travellers who enjoy the outdoors, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, paddling, fishing and wildlife watching.
Choosing the Right RV for Your Georgia Adventure
Not every RV holiday looks the same, so choosing the right vehicle is an important part of planning your trip. Whether you're travelling as a couple, taking the family away or planning a longer road trip, our suppliers have a few different types of campervans and motorhomes to consider:
Compact Campervans
Compact campervans are a good choice for couples or solo travellers who want the freedom of an RV without driving a large vehicle. Generally easier to manoeuvre and park, these are particularly useful if your itinerary includes cities like Atlanta or Savannah.
You'll typically have a sleeping area and some combination of cooking and storage facilities, with the exact layout depending on the vehicle.
Family Campervans and Motorhomes
Travelling with children or a larger group? A family-sized motorhome gives you more room to sleep, cook, eat and relax, with some layouts accommodating four, five or even six people.
Larger motorhomes, including Class C Motorhomes, can also provide useful extras such as a proper kitchen, bathroom, shower, refrigerator and separate sleeping areas. They’re particularly suited to longer trips where having a little more living space makes life on the road easier (and more fun).
Larger Motorhomes
If comfort is a priority, a larger motorhome can feel like a small home on wheels. These vehicles typically offer dedicated sleeping berths, dining space and more substantial kitchen and bathroom facilities.
They're a good option if you're planning to spend several nights on the road at a time, especially when travelling with family or friends. Just remember to consider the vehicle's overall length and width when planning the route of your Southern adventure and campsite bookings.
Where to Go on a Georgia RV Road Trip
Trying to figure out the best Georgia road trip itinerary but aren’t sure if you should head to the Cumberland Island National Seashore or the Blue Ridge Mountain trails? Here are a couple of places we’d recommend checking out with Georgia RVs:
Atlanta
A trip through Georgia means you get to experience Atlanta - one of the South's most energetic cities. Explore its museums, restaurants, neighbourhoods and attractions before swapping skyscrapers for open roads. You can also check out Piedmont Park and the Georgia Aquarium if you want to see nature before getting out of the city.
We’ll also note that Atlanta is a particularly great starting point for exploring the rest of the state.
Savannah
Savannah, known for its gorgeous Spanish moss-draped oak trees, cobblestone streets, and historic public squares, is one of Georgia's most atmospheric destinations. Its historic beauty and thriving food scene make it an ideal stop for a few days. From here, you can continue towards the coast. Tybee Island is just a 20 - 30 minute drive and is the perfect place to head for beaches and a slower pace. Skidaway Island State Park is also around 20 minutes away if you head southeast.
North Georgia and the Blue Ridge Mountains
Head north, and the landscape changes dramatically. The North Georgia mountains, which include the Chattahoochee National Forest, offer hiking trails, waterfalls, forests, scenic drives and charming small towns. Amicalola Falls, Tallulah Gorge and the wider Blue Ridge region are particularly special for travellers who want to spend lots of time outdoors.
The Georgia Coast
If it’s beaches and coastal scenery you seek, head east. The Georgia coast offers a very different experience from the mountains, with barrier islands, marshes, historic communities and lots of opportunities to get out on the water.
Chattahoochee Bend State Park
If you're looking for a quieter stop close to nature, Chattahoochee Bend State Park offers plenty of trails and access to the meandering Chattahoochee River. It's the kind of destination where a camper rental really comes into its own: arrive, settle in and spend a few days enjoying the outdoors rather than rushing on to the next attraction.
Camping in Georgia with an RV, Motorhome or Camper
Georgia has plenty of options for RV travellers, from developed campgrounds with modern facilities to quieter locations designed around getting back to nature.
Georgia State Parks tend to offer dedicated RV and trailer sites, including pull-through pitches and sites with water and electrical hook-ups. Many campgrounds also have dump stations, showers and other practical facilities.
It's worth booking ahead if you're travelling during busy periods, particularly when visiting popular parks or coastal spots. Georgia State Parks currently allow reservations up to 13 months in advance, so you have plenty of opportunity to secure your space.
Best Time to Hire an RV in Georgia
Georgia can be enjoyed throughout the year, but we’d say that the best time for an RV road trip depends on what you want to do.
For outdoor adventures, spring is stunning, with comfortable temperatures and the landscapes bursting into bloom. It's a great time for hiking, sightseeing and exploring Georgia's parks before the hotter summer weather arrives.
Summer is popular for family holidays and coastal trips. The longer days make it easy to fit plenty into an itinerary, although temperatures can be high, particularly inland. If you're heading towards the east coast, booking campsites in advance is the way to go.
Autumn is an excellent choice if exploring North Georgia. Cooler temperatures make hiking and scenic drives comfortable, while the mountains become especially gorgeous as the leaves change colour.
Winter offers a quieter side of Georgia. The southern part of the state and the coast have relatively mild weather, while the mountain areas provide a completely different winter landscape. You could even go to Mistletoe State Park to pick some holiday mistletoe!
A Georgia RV Road Trip Doesn't Have to Be Complicated
One of the best things about travelling through Georgia by RV is that you don't need to plan a huge, ambitious itinerary. Pick a few destinations and give yourself time to enjoy them.
A week could combine Atlanta, North Georgia and Athens, while a longer trip could take in Atlanta, Savannah, the coast and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can also continue beyond Georgia into neighbouring states such as Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee or Alabama, turning your rental into a wider Southern USA adventure.
The important thing is to leave a little room in the itinerary. Some of the best road-trip memories tend to happen when you find somewhere worth staying for an extra night.
