Ellijay is a small town nestled in the north Georgia mountains on the fringes of Chattahoochee National Forest. It is the perfect destination for those seeking to escape into the wilderness and reconnect with nature for a while. Glimmering rivers and gentle streams pour out of the mountains and flow through luscious valleys and down into rich and prolific bottomlands.

Because of its fertile soil, Ellijay and the surrounding areas are home to several wine vineyards and apple orchards. In fact, Gilmer County is often referred to as “The Apple Capital of Georgia,” producing over 30 different varieties each year. Whether you come for the apples or the outdoors, Ellijay is the perfect place to plan your next vacation. Surrounded by pristine wilderness yet not too far from the modern conveniences of the city, an RV rental from Ellijay is a great way to get your next adventure started.

Discover Ellijay


The Great Outdoors

While in Ellijay, outdoor enthusiasts should check out Springer Mountain. This popular spot is known for being the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Rising 3,780 feet above sea level, Springer Mountain gives those who reach its summit the opportunity to view the Blue Ridge Mountains from a spectacular vantage point. Even if you don’t plan on making the 2,200+ mile trek to Mount Katahdin in Maine via the Appalachian Trail, Springer Mountain is worth a visit next time you rent an RV in Ellijay.

Another place to visit is Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawsonville, Georgia. The park’s namesake, Amicalola Falls is the tallest cascading waterfall in the eastern United States. Visitors can enjoy views of the surrounding area from the parking lot situated at the top of the falls, but for the most spectacular scenes, hike down the 600 steps to the overlook bridge. From there, visitors will be rewarded with a thorough view of the 730-foot falls, which cascade over the rock in multiple tiers. The park boasts several miles of hiking trails, including the Appalachian Approach Trail to Springer Mountain. If you rent a motorhome in Ellijay, you can also enjoy camping at the park’s full hook-up campground.

Another state park near Ellijay is Fort Mountain State Park in Chatsworth. Less than half an hour's drive outside of Ellijay near the Cohutta Wilderness, this Georgia state park is home to a wall that spans over 800 feet in length. While experts don’t agree as to whether the wall was used by Native Americans as a fortification against more hostile tribes or if the wall played a role in ancient ceremonies, visitors to Fort Mountain State Park can likely all agree that this state park boasts some of the most beautiful trails in Georgia. The trails meander through hardwood forests speckled with blueberry thickets and cross multiple streams, marking Fort Mountain State Park an astonishing place to experience. You can also camp at one of the 70+ full hook-up campsites with the Ellijay motorhome rental.

Other amenities include hot showers, flush toilets, a playground, a boat ramp, and a dock. Bring your pets, too, because they’re allowed at Doll Mountain Campground.

Exploring the City

Ellijay is located near Georgia’s wine country and there are several vineyards in and around the area. The vineyards, nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, provide the ideal environment for growing quality wine grapes. Enjoy tasting local wine while soaking in magnificent views of the north Georgia mountains.

Besides being a large producer of Georgian wines, Ellijay is known for its apples. Spend a few hours picking apples in one of the town’s orchards or cuddle up with your favorite book in the shade of an apple tree. One of the local orchards has a bakery featuring freshly-made apple products, a petting zoo, and other activities for guests to enjoy. Another orchard in the area has been in operation since 1947 and has over 60 acres of apple trees and 10 acres of peach and nectarine trees. Come to the farm to pick some fresh fruit or sample some of the homemade products at the orchard’s store.

Ellijay is just an hour's drive away from Atlanta. In Georgia’s capital city, you will find everything you expect from a sprawling city. Home to the Mercedes Benz Stadium, the historic MLK house, and one of the largest aquariums in the world, if you’re up for a little road trip when you book a camper rental in Ellijay, Atlanta should definitely be one of the stops on your list.
