RV Park Scoop - Harvest Moon RV Park (Adairsville, Georgia)

Getting an early start is essential for us when travelling home. However, we are not the type of people that get up at 4 am and on the road at 4:15. We’ve all seen it. Most mornings I’m up at 5 making coffee, doing a few chores around the rig, and then I sit and enjoy the sunrise.

Our days drive was pretty much unremarkable. This year we decided to take the 285 around Atlanta instead of going right through it. That proved to be a wise choice. Not that we weren’t up for the challenge, you know me I’m always up for an experience. We have driven through Atlanta twice before and really didn’t care for it or should I say the drivers. Going around is maybe 10 miles longer but proves faster since there are no slowdowns.

People always ask me where I stop for diesel. Most RVers know that you just can’t pull into any gas station but non RVers don’t realize this. I usually hit the Flying J’s or Pilots. Where ever I see transport trucks getting diesel that’s where I can go. Then you have to watch the drivers pulling into the station as you’re pulling out because you know they are going to cut you off as they jockey for position to get gas. Sure enough Susan just got the words out of her mouth and someone cut me off. People, do you not realize I’m bigger than you are! Obviously not! Anyway we are back on the road again no harm no foul.

This trip home we are living dangerously. Why! Well, we decided not to make any reservations ahead of time just in case we wanted to travel at little further. Generally our rule of thumb on travel days is around 300 miles give or take. Our destination Harvest Moon RV Park is just over that mark. We have been here before and I have blogged/scooped on this campground so I won’t bore you again. I will say that nothing has changed since we were here last. We chose a pull-thru with 50 amp. Cable and Wi-Fi is included in the price which had a Good Sam’s discount. Cable worked great, Wi-Fi not at all. All in all a great park about a mile from the highway. We would definitely stay here again. 

RV Park Scoop-River Park RV Park, Valdosta Georgia

Our next overnight destination was River Park RV Park in Valdosta, Georgia. Here is my review or scoop on the park. The park is just off 1-75 at exit 18 in Valdosta, Georgia.  I chose this park because of its easy off easy on access to the highway. I hate venturing miles and miles away from the highway for just an overnight stop. Many KOA parks are like that and I guess that’s why we don’t stay at them.

We called ahead to make sure they had a site and sure enough they did. However, the woman was unsure as to where she was going to put us. Upon arrival the park looked virtually empty. Not sure what she was thinking. Oh well, she was not the most friendly person on the block. She gave me the entire rundown of do’s and don’ts which took a good 5 minutes. I almost felt like asking “can I go now”.

The Office

All interior roads are paved and in great shape. The sites are all paved but very very narrow. It was tough trying to get all four tires of the rig on the site. One side was on the other was off and sloping downhill. It took a few tries but we finally got it.  We also had the only site with overhanging tree limbs. What a pain….

All services (water, electric 30/50 amp, and sewer) were within easy reach of the rig. Cable TV was provided at no extra cost and worked great. I think we got close to 65 cable stations. The park also provided free Wi-Fi and I have to admit it was the best park internet I have seen.


 After we set up I went for a walk around the park. This is not a destination park although there seems to be a lot of permanent people here from out-of-state. At the back of the park is a large pooch park and the only bathroom/laundry room. The laundry room was clean as was the bathroom and shower area. The scary thing about the bathroom was the rat running along the floor when I walked in. Not good!

The park was very clean with lots of tree. Of course like every park their are trailers and then their are trailers.

Hard times 

Pretty park

Nice gardens

Because the park was close to the I-75 there was a lot of traffic noise. It did quieten down much later at night. Would I stay here again, probably! In saying that, there are other parks just north of Valdosta that look as good.
