Georgia is full of incredible wilderness areas, backcountry parks, and massive lakes, so it's no wonder so many people flock to The Peach State when the weather gets warm. Hartwell is ideally situated near dozens of parks and recreation areas, so you and your Hartwell motorhome rental are in luck. Lake Hartwell is close to town, and one of the region’s best places for outdoor recreation. A large assortment of campgrounds, parks, and beaches can be found along the lakeside, like Hart State Park, also named for Nancy Morgan Hart. The park is lined with white sand beaches, lovely views, swimming areas, hiking trails, and tons of space to go boating, jet skiing, or fishing. There is a campground you can utilize when you rent an RV, as well as a small outdoor theater that puts on events and educational programs. Elrod Ferry Recreation Area and Long Point Recreation Area are also close by, with places to camp, fish, swim, and hike. Up to the north, Tugaloo State Park and Lake Hartwell State Park both sit on either side of the Savannah River in their respective states. Tugaloo State Park is located on the Georgia side of the state line, with 400 acres of wide-open land along the water’s edge. There are over 100 campsites where you can park your Hartwell RV rental, in addition to rental cottages, yurts, beaches, tennis courts, picnic pavilions, and boat launches. Lake Hartwell State Park is across the river in South Carolina, with much of the same activities and features. Rental cabins, playgrounds, swimming areas, fishing spots, boat launches, and camping areas are all part of this enjoyable park in South Carolina. The northern parts of Georgia are blanketed in lush forests and ancient mountain ranges, all part of the mesmerizing Chattahoochee National Forest. Chattahoochee National Forest is by far the largest nature park in the state, totaling well over three-quarters of a million acres atop the Appalachian Mountains. There are ten wilderness areas, dozens of recreation areas, and plenty of campgrounds to accommodate you and your Hartwell camper rental when you venture to this outdoor gem. Furthermore, you can explore thousands of miles of creeks, rivers, and waterways by means of kayaking or canoeing, and hundreds of miles of tranquil hiking paths.
