RV Lot In North GA Mountain Resort

3. RV Lot In North GA Mountain Resort

Ellijay, GA · 2 sites
Great RV lot in North Georgia mountain resort with electric, sewer and water. The turn to get the RV into the lot is very tight with two ditches on both sides of the entrance. So, only experienced drivers suggested for this lot. Fishing lakes, kayak, pool, tennis (amenities available for extra fee). The lot has a built in fire pit and grill. RV up to 36’ but would accommodate smaller RV better. This is a gated resort community and has several full time residents. So quiet hours are enforced. No tent camping allowed.
