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.

High speed, Nascar style outdoor adventure is so abundant at Talladega National Forest, we’re pretty sure Ricky Bobby spends his days here. Feel the wind in your hair on the Kentuck OHV or Sylaward Mountain Bike Trails. If you’re wanting more solitude, try hiking the challenging Odum Point where dwarf trees dot the landscape. Stunning laurels and huckleberry bushes will greet trail riders in the spring, and camping is as perfect as it gets with fall foliage greeting you in the autumn. Waterfalls, rugged ridgetops, and shady hollers ensure there’s no need to get hopped up on mountain dew; Talladega will have you hopped on adventure before you can say “shake and bake”!

Just enough outside city and in the trees to feel remote. Had a safe feel. Easy access to everything needed. Short ride to airport. Some airplane noise but it didn't bother me.

3 nights at Risin' RV

My husband & I spent 3 nights at Risin’ RV. This is a cozy, urban camping experience. Location is great because you feel as though you’re in the country, however you are minutes from downtown East Atlanta. The community here is at a soft open. There is some construction going on, however it really didn’t interfere with our stay at all. You need to be self-contained to stay here because there are no bathrooms or showers. However, there are full hookups for RVs/trailer camping. The camp has a cat & chickens wandering around & that was really fun. Communication with the camp hosts was easy. The camp is secure & safe. There are 2 security gates & we were given a code for the keypad so we could come & go as we pleased. There was a little bit of road noise, however not significant. We had a quite, peaceful stay at Risin’ RV.

The location, convenience, and safety of this Hipcamp is great. Easy access to bike trails, bike lanes, and the bus system into downtown Atlanta was the closest in the area. Adding and changing dates and times was easy. Having access to the gate codes made coming and going easy, also. The chickens and roosters added a hone spun touch.

Loved the location, we could ride our bikes all the way to the Atlanta Beltline bike trail. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The door to the street was very convenient, also. I loved the chickens and rooster visiting us, especially running to our RV when cooking and the smoke detector went off. Too funny.

Just like i love it. Lots of trees & shade. The host Darren was great. We actually chatted for a bit upon my arrival. My only draw back is i have a 5th wheel thats 13 feet 4 inches tall. Coming down the road to the entrance has very low hanging branches. I just had the rv flex armor roof put on. If i would still had the original thin membrane roof still on i would have had rips & tears in the roof. When i got on roof a nice size branch got caught under my solar panel and broke off. No damage though. If you have a travel trailer you will be fine, its not 5th wheel friendly with the branches. Overall i am pleased what Darren has done the the property. Thanks for the stay.

I stayed here for the Atlanta BladeShow at the Cobb Galleria. I loved the stay, the camp ground was really nice, and Darren was super friendly/ helpful. The drive to the Cobb Galeria was only about 30 minutes. I can't recommend this spot highly enough. Also, the location of power, water, and the septic hookup was very convenient!

Weekend Trip to ATL OASIS RV Parking & Campgrounds

This is truly an oasis. The area near the entrance has many spaces for RV/Campers. Up the hill is for tents, but I drove my Campervan up the hill and had a great spot for my van and awning. There's electric hookups all over. There's light posts, as well, for each area. The common area is what makes this place stand out! A bathroom house with washer, dryer, microwave, and coffee machine. A fire pit, grill, small playground, community garden, etc. I plan to return soon for an entire week, or longer.

Such a beautiful spot! We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re ever passing through. It was so peaceful—like a warm little woodsy, whimsical oasis. Felt like we were tucked away in a charming tiny community. Loved every minute of it! 🌼🏕️✨ For camper info - we got a 16ft travel trailer that backed up without a problem. Just make sure to have your tools to level it out.

If you have a 30 amp for your Rv you better bring a 50 amp adapter with you, in the site #1 that I stayed it was only a 50 amp outlet. The campground is clean and it has potential. Very close to the airport and easy to backup into the spot The campsite was very leveled and very quiet. I will stay there again.

My daughter and I only stayed for a night but it was a great spot and when I am in Atlanta, I will be coming back for another stay. The host Darren was clear with his instructions with approaching the property and getting in. He was extremely helpful and responded to questions in a timely fashion. The space was quiet and secure. We enjoyed a little fire before the rain storm came rolling in. I have already recommended this spot to some fellow campers and adventurers.
