RV Rental Fort Yargo State Park, GA

Hikers and mountain bikers are going to love this park. The park's four trails measure out to over 20 miles. Fort Yargo campers have the luxury of walking the tranquil Bird Berry Trail and get a glimpse of the park's bird species. Birders have been known to catch glimpses of white egrets, blue herons, and Canadian geese. You might even see some rabbits or a deer. Or, go sightseeing on the seven-mile loop which wraps around the lake.

Leave your hiking boots back at the RV camper and traverse the Mountain Bike Loop. This course is ranked moderate to difficult and is only open to bikers because of its speed and bumpy terrain. Each section of the trail is its own adventure. Climb steep hills, pedal past an old graveyard, and coast along the pristine Fort Yargo Lake.

Whether you’re a first-timer or an expert disc golfer, you're in for a treat. Fort Yargo State Park has an 18-hole disc golf course that winds through the woods and banks around the lake. The scenic views make for a great backdrop that will leave you feeling good, win or lose.

Fort Yargo also has tennis courts where you can practice your backswing and an amphitheater where you can finally put on that one-man Shakespeare play. There are a couple of pavilions where campers can host get-togethers and a gift shop so you can take a souvenir home with you.

RV campers at Fort Yargo State Park have their choice of 40 RV sites, all with water and 30- and 50-amp hookups. Some sites are pull-through, while the majority are back-in. The park can accommodate motorhome campers up to 50 feet long, so make sure to book the site that fits your needs.

The campground has plenty of amenities to keep you happy and comfortable, including hot showers, public restrooms, a dump station, and a fire ring at each site.

Visit the Fort Yargo Living History Society during your stay and learn about the rich history of the area.

The horticulture fanatics among you should head to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which is part of the University of Georgia in Athens. Classes are available for students, kids, and adults who are interested in learning about local plant life, ecology as a whole, and how to protect the planet.
