Discover Nelson RV rentals for memorable road trips

Abraham Lincoln's statue at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many federal monuments that were sculpted from Georgia marble. Marble slabs were quarried in Pickens County, where one of the longest marble veins in the world can be found. In the mid-19th century, the Georgia Marble Company brought to Nelson many stonecutters from Italy and Scotland, earning the city the fitting nickname "The First Georgia Marble City".

A Taster Tour of Appalachia

Rent a motorhome in Nelson and you’ll find yourself in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest at Amicalola Falls State Park, less than an hour's drive out of town. Measuring some 800+ square miles, the park features its namesake highlight, the 729-foot Amicalola (Cherokee Indian for “tumbling waters”) Falls you can approach on an easy drive to the top and equally easy hike down to the base of the falls. If you have the energy, try the almost 10-mile Hike Inn Trail for gorgeous sunrise and mountain views. Linked by an eight-mile approach trail to Springer Mountain, the park also offers a convenient jumping off point for a legendary hike-through on the Appalachian Trail.

Where to Park Your RV

No campsites are available within the city limits, but if you’re willing to try a state park experience, simply find an RV site at Amicalola State Park. There are water and electric hookups, a dump station, and comfort stations. From here, you’re also a short ride to the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway and various outdoor activities such as whitewater rafting and horseback riding.

Picking Your Way Around Pickens County

Nelson’s Marble Museum is a fitting introduction to appreciate the city’s history and Georgia’s marble legacy. Admire the marble sculptures, read the interpretive panels on how the earth’s natural forces created a massive marble vein in Pickens County, and understand how the mining history shaped Nelson as a city.
