Camping near Ellerslie, Georgia
Ellerslie sits in Harris County in west-central Georgia, part of the Columbus metropolitan area and a short drive from the Pine Mountain ridge. The community works well as an RV base for trips into F.D. Roosevelt State Park, Callaway Gardens, and the Chattahoochee River corridor along the Alabama line. Terrain rolls gently, with pine and hardwood forest, small fishing lakes, and low mountain vistas surprisingly close to the coastal plain.
RV renters have a mix of options within roughly thirty minutes: a state park campground, a Georgia Power reservoir park, and several private RV parks. Lake Pines Campground and RV Park and Sawyer's Mobile Home Estates and RV Park sit closer to Columbus, while Pine Mountain RV Resort, FD Roosevelt State Park, and Blanton Creek Park Georgia Power lie north and west toward the ridge and the river.
The area is open to camping year-round, though the shoulder seasons of spring and fall bring the most comfortable weather for outdoor cooking, hiking, and lake activities.
Things to do near Ellerslie
The main outdoor draw is FD Roosevelt State Park, Georgia's largest state park, which covers more than 9,000 acres along the Pine Mountain Range and includes the 23-mile Pine Mountain Trail, two small lakes for fishing and paddling, and the CCC-built Liberty Bell Pool fed by cool springs. Dowdell's Knob offers a well-known overlook of the valley below, marked by a life-size sculpture of the president.
History travelers can pair the park with Roosevelt's Little White House State Historic Site in nearby Warm Springs, where President Roosevelt sought treatment for polio. Callaway Gardens, closer to Pine Mountain, adds display gardens, a butterfly center, and a beach on Robin Lake, making it a strong pick for families.
Columbus, roughly a half hour south, adds a whitewater course on the Chattahoochee River, the National Infantry Museum, and a walkable Riverwalk.

West-central Georgia has a humid subtropical climate with four seasons. Summers are long, hot, and humid: average July highs sit near 91°F, and heat index readings can climb well above 100°F on afternoons with high moisture. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, so shaded, wooded sites at FD Roosevelt State Park or Blanton Creek Park Georgia Power are worth booking early.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots. Spring warms quickly after the last freezes of early April, wildflowers bloom along Pine Mountain, and lake levels are typically high. Fall brings drier air, cooler nights, and hardwood color on the ridge, with September standing out as the driest month of the year for the Columbus area.
Winters are mild but variable, with average highs in the upper 50s and lows in the low 40s. December is actually the wettest month of the year in this part of Georgia, and freezing nights do occur. Snow is rare, averaging less than an inch across the year.

How to book a campsite
FD Roosevelt State Park uses the Georgia State Parks reservation system through ReserveAmerica, with site-specific booking that lets renters choose a specific pad in advance. Popular lakefront and full-hookup loops fill early for spring weekends, summer holidays, and fall color, so booking well ahead is advisable. A daily ParkPass parking fee applies and is separate from the site reservation; overnight guests pay it only once per vehicle for the stay.
Blanton Creek Park Georgia Power takes reservations through the Georgia Power camping system on the Middle Chattahoochee reservoirs. Private parks such as Lake Pines Campground and RV Park, Pine Mountain RV Resort, and Sawyer's Mobile Home Estates and RV Park book directly through the park office or their own websites, and often accept longer stays.
What to expect on the ground
Sites at FD Roosevelt State Park are wooded, with gravel pads, water and electric hookups, and modern bathhouses within walking distance; a trading post sells firewood and basic supplies. Some loops sit near small fishing lakes, and rigs from small trailers up to Class A motorhomes are common. Backcountry sites along the Pine Mountain Trail are primitive, permit-only, and require checking in at the visitor center before dark.
Private parks in the area lean toward full hookups, level pull-through sites, and longer-term guests, which suits RV renters who want easier setup. Cell coverage is generally reliable near Ellerslie and Pine Mountain but can drop in the state park's interior loops.
Pack for humidity, biting insects in warmer months, and afternoon storms. A leveling kit and surge protector are useful at older private parks.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ellerslie, GA
How much does an RV rental in Ellerslie, GA typically cost?
Good news: an RV rental in Ellerslie, GA fits a wide range of budgets, with travel trailers often starting around $90 to $150 per night, campervans landing in the $125 to $200 range, and larger Class A or Class C motorhomes typically running $200 to $350 per night. Hosts in Harris County set their own rates, so you'll see price drops mid-week and during shoulder seasons like late February or November. Use the price filter and sort by lowest price to spot a cheap RV rental Ellerslie option, then message the host about weekly discounts. Pro tip: booking a delivered trailer parked at FDR State Park can save you fuel and stress on your first trip.
gastateparks.org/FDRooseveltDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Ellerslie, GA?
Great news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Ellerslie, GA. The Georgia Department of Driver Services confirms that recreational vehicles used for personal travel are exempt from commercial driver's license (CDL) requirements, so your standard Class C license covers Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and the vast majority of Class A motorhomes you'll find on RVezy. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid license, and ID is verified inside the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're ready to roll toward Pine Mountain.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Ellerslie?
You're covered from the moment you book. Every RV rental in Ellerslie, GA includes an RVezy renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on US-27 or a dead battery at FDR State Park is just a quick phone call away. The protection plan helps cover damage to the vehicle during your trip based on the tier you select at checkout. RVezy offers multiple coverage levels so you can match protection to your comfort zone. Pro tip: review the coverage details before confirming so you can budget your trip with total confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Ellerslie RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy makes it low-risk to lock in your dates. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every booking (not the host), and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can commit with confidence. After that, refunds depend on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. You'll see the full policy on the checkout page before you pay, and if a host cancels you're eligible for a full refund or travel credit. Pro tip: message the host first if your dates are flexible. Many will happily shift your reservation rather than cancel it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Ellerslie?
Absolutely, the Pine Mountain area is one of Georgia's most dog-friendly corners. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see every pet-friendly RV rental Ellerslie hosts offer, then check the listing for any pet fee or cleaning add-on. Once you're rolling, your pup will love the leashed-dog trails at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, the open lawns at Callaway Gardens (leashed dogs are welcome in outdoor areas), and the wide shoulders of the Pine Mountain Trail. Pack a collapsible water bowl since Harris County summers run hot and humid. Pro tip: message the host about their pet policy before booking so you arrive knowing exactly what's covered.
gastateparks.org/RulesRegulationsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Ellerslie?
Yes, and it's the easiest way to start your trip. Many Ellerslie hosts offer RV delivery Ellerslie service straight to local campgrounds like F.D. Roosevelt State Park, Pine Mountain RV Resort, or a private property in Harris County. The host parks the rig, levels it, hooks up water and power, and walks you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees are usually based on mileage from the host's home base, and you'll see the option clearly on the listing. Pro tip: for a stress-free first time renting an RV, filter for Delivery and pick a host who offers full setup. You'll arrive to a campsite that's already trip-ready.
gastateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/f-d-roosevelt-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=GA&parkId=530153How far can I travel on an Ellerslie RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You have real room to roam. Many hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and a growing number offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for an RV road trip from Ellerslie covering more ground. From Ellerslie you're 20 minutes to Columbus, about 30 minutes to Pine Mountain and Callaway Gardens, 45 minutes to Warm Springs and FDR's Little White House, roughly 90 minutes to Atlanta, and around 2 hours to Macon. Each listing clearly shows the mileage policy and overage rate. Pro tip: if you're planning multi-state loops into Alabama or Florida, filter for unlimited mileage to keep your budget predictable.
visitcolumbusga.gov/Where are the best campgrounds to stay near Ellerslie, GA?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Ellerslie include F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain (Georgia's largest state park at over 9,000 acres, with 140 wooded sites, water and electric hookups, hot showers, and lake views), Pine Mountain RV Resort just off US-27 (full hookups, pool, and family-friendly), Lake Pines RV Park south in Midland (quiet, shaded sites close to Columbus), and Standing Boy Creek State Park's day-use area for paddling adventures. For RV camping Ellerslie travelers also love, FDR's Lake Delano loop fills first. Pro tip: state park sites at FDR open for reservations 13 months ahead, so book early for spring wildflowers and fall color.
gastateparks.org/FDRooseveltWhen is the best time of year for an Ellerslie RV trip?
Almost any season works, but locals love March through May and September through November most. Spring brings 65 to 78 degree days, blooming azaleas at Callaway Gardens, and dogwoods lining Harris County back roads. Fall delivers crisp 50 to 75 degree afternoons and Pine Mountain Trail foliage that peaks in late October and early November. Summer is warm and humid (mid-80s to low-90s) but great for lake swims at Lake Delano, while winter stays mild (40 to 60 degrees) and quiet, which is perfect for solitude seekers. Pro tip: book a Callaway Gardens Fantasy in Lights trip in December for a magical RV camping experience.
weather.gov/ffc/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay starting in Ellerslie?
You'll do great, and Ellerslie is actually one of the friendliest places to learn. The roads through Harris County are wide, traffic is light, and US-27 and GA-315 give you long, gentle straightaways to get comfortable behind the wheel. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering driving tips, leveling, hookups, the awning, and the bathroom, so you're never left guessing. You can also message the host any question before you book. Pro tip: choose a Class C motorhome or a delivered travel trailer for your first time renting an RV. They drive like a large van and remove the parking learning curve entirely.
fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/driver-safety/cmv-driving-tips-following-too-closelyWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat on GA-85, run out of fuel near Hamilton, or have a battery issue at your FDR campsite, help is a quick call away. Your host is also a text away for questions about how the generator, water pump, or slide-out works, and RVezy's support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number to your phone before you pull out of the driveway, and snap a photo of the RV's VIN. It speeds up any service call.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Ellerslie RV rental on a multi-state road trip?
Absolutely, and Ellerslie's location near US-27 and I-185 makes it a perfect launchpad. Popular RV road trip from Ellerslie routes include heading south to the Florida Panhandle beaches (about 4 hours to Panama City), east to Savannah (around 4.5 hours), west into Alabama for Cheaha State Park (under 3 hours), or north to the Blue Ridge Mountains (about 3.5 hours). Cross-border travel within the US is generally covered under your RVezy protection plan, but trips into Mexico are not permitted. Pro tip: message your host before booking if your itinerary leaves Georgia. Most are excited to help you plan and may waive mileage caps for longer routes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Harris County RV trip?
Easy to plan, and gas in Georgia is among the cheapest in the Southeast. Expect roughly 7 to 10 miles per gallon for a Class A motorhome, 10 to 14 mpg for a Class C, 16 to 20 mpg for a campervan, and 12 to 16 mpg for your tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. Regular unleaded around Ellerslie and Columbus typically runs noticeably below the national average, with stations along US-27 in Pine Mountain and I-185 exits offering RV-friendly pumps. Pro tip: use GasBuddy to spot the lowest prices near Hamilton or Columbus before you leave, and fill up before heading into FDR State Park since options thin out on GA-190.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Ellerslie?
The sooner the better, especially for F.D. Roosevelt State Park. Georgia State Parks open reservations up to 13 months in advance through the Reserve America system, and FDR's lakeside sites at Lake Delano fill quickly for spring break, summer weekends, fall foliage, and the Callaway Gardens Fantasy in Lights season. Private parks like Pine Mountain RV Resort book 2 to 6 months out for peak weekends. Aim to lock in your campground before you finalize your RV rental in Ellerslie, GA so dates align perfectly. Pro tip: weeknight stays Sunday through Thursday almost always have availability, even in peak season, and they're often quieter and cheaper.
gastateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/f-d-roosevelt-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=GA&parkId=530153What are driving conditions like around Ellerslie?
Easy and scenic, which makes a motorhome rental Ellerslie experience genuinely enjoyable. US-27 (the main north-south corridor) is a wide, well-maintained four-lane highway running right through Harris County to Pine Mountain. GA-315 and GA-116 are calm rural two-laners with light traffic. The biggest things to watch for are afternoon thunderstorms in summer, occasional deer at dawn and dusk, and the winding climb up GA-190 into FDR State Park, where you'll want to take it slow and enjoy the ridgeline views. Pro tip: avoid Columbus rush hour (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.) on I-185 if you're heading south, and you'll have a relaxed drive all the way to your campsite.
dot.ga.gov/DS/TravelWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Ellerslie?
More than you might expect for such a peaceful area. F.D. Roosevelt State Park offers 140 sites with water and 20/30/50-amp electric hookups, hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, and laundry in the comfort station. Pine Mountain RV Resort adds full sewer hookups, a swimming pool, and Wi-Fi. Most Harris County campgrounds have potable water fill stations and at least one centralized dump station, so where to park an RV in Ellerslie is rarely a logistical headache. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank before leaving the campground each morning. Some FDR sites are water-electric only without sewer, so plan a quick dump-and-rinse on your way out.
gastateparks.org/FDRooseveltWhat's typically included inside an Ellerslie RV rental?
Pretty much everything you need to camp comfortably. A typical campervan rental Ellerslie or motorhome includes a queen or king bed, dinette that converts to extra sleeping, a kitchen with stove, fridge, microwave, sink, and cookware, an air conditioner (essential for Georgia summers), a furnace for cooler nights, and a bathroom with shower and toilet. Most rigs sleep 4 to 8 with seatbelts for travel. Many hosts add a generator, outdoor speaker, awning, camping chairs, and a Smart TV with streaming. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities tab for Wi-Fi hotspots and bedding kits. They're popular add-ons that turn your RV into a fully stocked home on wheels.
nps.gov/articles/rv-camping.htmWhat add-ons and pickup options can I expect?
Plenty of flexibility, which makes customizing your trip easy. Common add-ons on Ellerslie listings include delivery and setup, generator hours, propane refills, bike racks, kayaks, bedding and towel kits, camping chairs, outdoor grills, fire pits, and even pet packages. Pickup is usually from the host's property in Harris County or nearby Columbus, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough covering every system. Mileage policies vary from 100 free miles per night to unlimited mileage, so check before you book. Pro tip: ask about an early pickup or late drop-off as an add-on. An extra few hours on either end is usually inexpensive and gives you breathing room on travel days.
usa.gov/state-travel-and-tourismHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
It's straightforward and secure. You pay your booking total through RVezy's protected payment system using a credit or debit card. Hosts may also require a refundable security deposit, which is held separately from your booking payment and released after the RV is returned in good condition. Deposit amounts vary by RV and are clearly listed on each listing page before you book. To avoid any holdups, return the RV on time, with the agreed fuel level, and free of damage. Pro tip: take quick walkaround photos at pickup and drop-off. It protects both you and the host and keeps your deposit refund moving fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat's a local insider tip for an Ellerslie RV trip?
Here's a gem most visitors miss: drive up to Dowdell's Knob inside F.D. Roosevelt State Park at sunset. Sitting at 1,395 feet, it's where President Roosevelt himself used to picnic, and the sweeping view across Pine Mountain Valley is one of the best in middle Georgia. Pair it with an early-morning swim at the historic Liberty Bell Pool (open seasonally and spring-fed), a barbecue stop in the town of Hamilton, and a drive-through visit to Wild Animal Safari just up the road in Pine Mountain. Pro tip: pack camp chairs and dinner. Dowdell's Knob has picnic tables, very limited cell service, and one of the darkest skies in the region for post-sunset stargazing.
