Big Oak RV Park – Tallapoosa, GA
2LTE, $350/month, 50FHU (by Andy)
Cheapest stay in proximity to Atlanta. Quiet and well-kept. Tight and hilly access.
This park has a separate area marked ‘extended camping,’ but I believe most of the units throughout are there for at least the season, if not the year, or decade. They have a few pull-thru spots for overnight use. We stayed for the month with 50amp FHUs. Price includes tax and electric.
Our site was a nightmare to get into. It was by far the most difficult backward maneuvering I’ve done in my 5 months of full time travel so far. A local park resident was summoned by the park host to help me achieve this maneuver. He suggested that I pull forward and then back the trailer at a 90-degree angle, up a steep hill, and then cut it the opposite 90-degree angle to get into the site. It was a ‘Z’ maneuver, but with a steep hill with several trees and large rocks in the middle.
It took a while, and I broke one of the support wheels under my rear bumper because the incline was so steep, but we eventually got the trailer parked.
There is a laundry room onsite with 2 washers and 2 dryers. Bathrooms ‘close’ at 7pm, but we didn’t use them anyway. No Wifi.
Easy access to I-20. Several travel stops/restaurants nearby, including two 24hr restaurants.
There was also a cute little hill behind the park that led to a small body of water. Great for (on-leash) dog walking!
