This is a very small campground, but don't let that stop you from camping here. The staff are very friendly. There are 2 small very stocked ponds for trout fishing - any child will be able to catch multiple fish. A small stream flows alongside the property that you can stand in at one end. A bigger lake provides a more challenging fishing experience and there is a paddle boat available. The area is super quiet (we were the only ones there). The campground itself is actually just in NC, but you get there from the major highway in GA. The only downside (if there has to be one) is that the sites are not the easiest to access. However, we were able to do just fine given that it was our first time ever camping. If you're looking for a cheap place to stay with a relaxing, friendly atmosphere give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
If this is the best Georgia has to offer then we are in big trouble! We were put in a spot in the front of the campground by the main road. Sites were very, very tight to say the least. It was difficult to get our 32ft fifth-wheel parked without overhanging the sloped hill in back part of the site. We had no room to park our Ram 3500 beside, or in front of our rig without blocking the entire road or parking right next to the neighbor next door. The roads are narrow single lanes only and are one way, for good reason. The sites are gravel which made it hard to level. About half the campground is privately owned lots which are kept immaculate. At least 1/3 of the 127 rental lots has permanent residents. There was a lot of noise late into the evening and constant traffic leaving the park. Speed limit signs were posted, however never enforced. We did enjoy the views and the children's pool was great: but we will not be returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our second visit to this park. Still, a good place to stay. During this visit, we were in one of the smaller sites near the front, which was a little crowded. Given that we were lucky to get a site on a holiday weekend, we can't really complain. The kids loved the pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was extremely clean and well maintained and the staff was friendly as well. There are several gas grills around the campgrounds that are available, making grilling out easy. All sites are level and are gravel (the gravel posed no problems). There are several rental cabins and permanent sites. Clean laundry facility too. Great view of the mountain and having Tallulah Falls, Glen Falls and Sky Mountain within just a few miles, what a great place to stop and stay. We stayed 6 nights and would highly recommend River Vista Mountain Village to our friends and family. We will stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The good things about this campground were the playground and the adult pool/spa. It is a square-shaped pool with benches along each side and lots of jets, so it feels like a jacuzzi. It is very nice! The bathrooms were very nice and clean, too. While we were there, a large camping group was there, and the Wi-Fi was spotty while they were there. When most left, it was great. My son-in-law on the site next to ours could never get online (only while camping group was there). The sites are gravel or sand. I thought it was a little over-priced. Also, there was not much shade. There are lots of young trees, though. There is a pitiful little stream that flows along one side, but I sure would not pay more to camp by it! We paid a weekly rate and got a discount. Check ahead for current pricing! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park setup in a valley; this is just such a beautiful area. The park was very clean and we were able to get a site that backed up to a "creek" for about $5 extra per night. The creek had no water to speak of, but being backed up to the green belt was still nice. If not against the green belt, there are a few trees in the infield, but not many. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
WOW! This place is the cats. In a stunningly beautiful area (north GA and western NC mountains, and as well kept a campground as I've ever seen. And in all our travels I've never seen a campground with an INDOOR POOL! It's heated and jets make it like a HUGE hot tub. I can't wait to come back in the winter (this place is open year round). The very clean outdoor pool also has a small hot tub connected, great! Sites are nice and level, good cable TV, great wireless internet with 3 separate networks to choose from so you will always get a strong signal. Don't tell too many people- we want to keep this one quiet and always available for us to use! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful and outstanding faculties. Indoor spa pool and outdoor pool both excellent condition and well kept. Showerrooms superior in cleanliness and areas around RV's clean and weed free. Picnic tables good and well placed for your arrival. Personell in office and on grounds friendly and very helpful. The area has much to see and do. Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground in a great location. The RV sites were easy to get into. The pool, spa, basketball court and playground were great. There was an area with an outdoor fireplace and comfortable rocking chairs that made for an excellent location to sit back and relax. The only negative I can think of is the lack of a grill or fire pit for each individual campsite. However, there was a community fire pit in addition to the outdoor fireplace and community grills. Will surely stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very beautiful park which is kept clean and well maintained. Swimming pool and whirlpool were clean with plenty of lounge chairs but was small. Sites were spacious and easy to get into with large rigs. The pads need more gravel and leveling up. Lots of channels on cable system and wi-fi worked great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The sites were very close together; reminded me of a parking lot. Kids were running all over the place; not a very peaceful park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean and nice place. The new pull-through sites are great. The pool is very clean with plenty of deck chairs. They are building a new indoor adults pool. Well manicured and well run. We will come back. Wi-fi works well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very clean and comfortable. Sites are not crowded but gravel areas need to be leveled and widened. Excellent facilities. One of North Georgia's best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is wonderful with breathtaking scenic mountain views. There are plenty of activities and places to sightsee nearby. The campground is very family friendly and the bathhouses are spotless! The pool is beautiful. The free pancake breakfast on Saturday morning was a nice touch. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Campground is in the North Georgia mountains with wonderful scenery. Some sites have plenty of room for big rigs; some sites are very short; and in some sites, the back of your RV hangs over the sites below. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice pool, recreation area. Very clean. A/C in shower. New construction in progress to double capacity. Some permanent occupants. Covenient access. We camped here in a camper.
