Georgia’s geographical diversity creates stunning backdrops for outdoor activities. From islands to soaring mountain ranges to the dramatic waterfalls found along the Appalachian Trail, the Peach State has it all. The state’s subtropical climate means campers can enjoy the outdoors during most of the year. They can do so in a wide range of glamping rentals, such as treehouses and yurts. You’ll also find bell tents, geodesic domes, and RV parks located in Georgia’s state parks.
Depending on the campground and type of accommodation, there are Georgia glamping options at every price point. For example, reserving an RV in Sweetwater Creek State Park or Chattanooga Valley yields comfort on a budget, while a luxury tent with the comforts of home provides a unique experience that might cost a bit more.
