Traveling from Charlotte, NC area on I-85 south on May 26 (Memorial day) to pick up I-20 west. Would appreciate any recommendations on campgrounds just north of Atlanta off I-85.

Thanks any info.

Click on the map showing the park locations.
Do it tonight. Many parks are already booked regardless of which state as Memorial Day weekend is the busiest time for camping.

Not many campgrounds on I-85 north of Atlanta except state parks and Corps of Engineers parks which will be booked for the holiday weekend. There is a Jellystone campground west of Atlanta on I-20 but they require 3 night stay on holiday weekend. You might try the Flying J, exit 147 off I-85 at Commerce GA.
There is also a Flying J west of Atlanta I-20 exit 19. Have a safe trip!

We used to stay at what was then a KOA at Commerce, GA, but that one had become very run down the last time we came through there.

For several years we have stayed in a little campground at Lavnoia, GA, just a mile or so off I-85. It would not be everyone's cup of tea, but it suited us just fine.

You might not like it as well as we do, but at least I thought I'd tell you about it. It is simple, quiet, rural with full hookups.

The name is Sunset Campground. Here is a listing:

I had thought that folks would be leaving Monday evening. Sounds like that is wrong. Thanks

A little jaunt off I-85, Fort Yargo, Winder, GA.

I would think that you are right,most weekend campers will be going home Monday night...traffic will be heavy but..campgrounds...empty..
From Charlotte , you should be pass Atlanta for a campground...and going out 0n I-20 from Atlanta , there are quite a few c/g's to stay in....Chuck

Lake Hartwell State Park SC. Exit 1 (last in SC) and turn west. About a mile or a bit less on the left. Would work fine for an overnite. Pretty place. Right on the Tugaloo river and lake hartwell.

Thanks to all. Not sure I'll get going early enough to get passed Atlanta but will look for CG's west on I-20
