RV rental Fort Mountain State Park, GA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

South of the Cohutta Wilderness and west of Blue Ridge and Ellijay lies the majestic Fort Mountain State Park. Considering its mesmerizing beauty and mystery, the park rightly ranks among the top attractions in Georgia. Named after the ancient stone edifice, Fort Mountain State Park was once home to the Cherokee tribe. According to their legends, the wall was built by the “moon-eyed people” who called this land home before the Cherokee.

The park boasts more than 50 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails that wind through the park's breathtaking landscape. The captivating view of the neighboring Blue Ridge Mountains, paired with the glimmering and tranquil lake, makes the park an ideal location for a rural escape. The park's gorgeous wilderness stretches over 3,700 acres and is mostly dominated by a mixture of pine and hardwood forest and blueberry thickets. There’s never a shortage of activities here for those who love exploring, horseback riding, fishing, paddling, or simply observing wildlife and the natural environment. The biodiverse park is teeming with everything from forest critters to apex predators, so expect to see deer, eagles, raccoons, and even a bear or two.

Thanks to its proximity to the towns of Chatsworth (five miles) and Dalton (17 miles), Fort Mountain State Park offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy some state park RV camping. Make sure to stop by one of these towns and learn about their history as well as the surrounding natural area. Here, you can also rent an RV or purchase any necessary camping supplies.
