Someone tell me where to camp in west Atlanta ga, close to I 20

If you are looking for one between Birmingham and Atlanta off I-20 here is one I found that I liked. Very friendly owners and pet friendly if that is something you also need.

Nestled in the mountains and surrounded by the Talladega National Forest, Cane9Creek RV Park & Campground is a dog friendly owner operated business conveniently located off of I-20 at exit 205, midway between Atlanta and Birmingham. Our open meadows, abundant trails, and beautiful creek provide a peaceful oasis.
5002 Hwy 46 Heflin, Al 36264 256-463-2602

P.S. If you stay there ask them if they found my surge protector that I left on the ground! :B

East Atlanta is NOT a good neighborhood and unlikely you will find anything east of 285. Further west, past Six Flags on out toward Douglasville, there may be something - John Bleakley had a huge RV dealership there a few years ago and there should be something. I personally am not familiar with that area, other than I go through there fairly often.
East of 285 is neighborhood with dense population and lots of crime

OP is asking about WEST of ATL. There is a small cg at the Tallapoosa exit.

John Tanner Park phone #1-770-830-2222

there is an a wonderful rv paek called Sugar Mill Creek RV. IT is on Lake Burton, north of Atlanta. Great time

Check out the Yogi Bear Jellystone parks. Very family oriented andlots of amenities.

Atlanta isn't too far from the mountains of Georgia and North Carolina. I know you won't have the time on this trip, but I suggest checking out areas around Murphy, NC and Blairsville, GA.

My bad, I meant WEST Atlanta in the area around Sweet Auburn and west of the capital

Sweetwater Valley RV park is in Villa Rica about 5 miles off of I-20 and 20 miles west of Atlanta. I don't know of anything inside the perimeter.

Are you talking about inside I-285? Cuz there is no camping inside the perimeter, unless you want to sleep under a bridge. You'll have to go outside the perimeter at least 10 miles. Stone Mountain is due east. McKinney COE and Red Top Mountain SP are northwest about 30 miles up I-75. Lake Lanier has many COEs about 45 miles north. There really isn't much of anything south of the city, until you get about 50 miles away.
