Looking for an RV lot in Georgia
I was told If I File A Homestead Act in Ga. I can live on my own land in Ga..want to know if it is true & the in & outs.
I have a 2016 42’ Columbus Compass by Palamino 5th wheel. I need a reasonably-priced permanent lot for it in N Georgia, preferably around Jasper or Ellijay. We are retiring in 2 years and currently live in the Atlanta area. Will also consider selling it.
I appreciate the list, but I have found a better list of “retirement communities” for Rv’ers than this list. I investigated each one of your suggestions and most of them are like “parking lot” rv parks. Some don’t allow more than 2 week stay and only 1 of them is for adults only as a “retirement community or 55+” would offer.
Could you please share your list?
Hi Shelley,
My hubby and I are looking at this option as well. We are having a hard time finding viable options. Our rural home on 2 acres is getting to be too much to upkeep and with health concerns. Would you mind sharing the list that you made , with me?
I appreciate it, have a great day!!
Hi everyone!
Come stay with us at Made in the Shade RV Park! We are just a 30 minute drive from Augusta, GA in Waynesboro, Georgia. We have two on site managers for all of your needs.
We are an all ages community that is quiet and peaceful surrounded by shady oak trees. We have a lot of retirees and veterans as well as travel nurses and local contract workers. The park is pretty quiet day and night and stays very safe as we have a good relationship with the local sheriffs department and they drive through weekly and our managers live on property. There are plenty of small family owned restaurants and shops in town, local fishing and hunting spots, and of course great golf, shopping and restaurants in nearby Augusta, GA and Aiken, SC. A short 90 min drive to Savannah or Tybee Island for a getaway close to home. We also have community events so it has a real neighborly feel.
Our monthly rates start at $550 which includes WIFI and the first $75 of your electricity use and of course water and sewer.
We also have some larger sites with decks, large yards, and room for a storage shed available $600-$700.
We have no moving requirements for our monthly guests.
All of our sites are individually metered and can accomodate 30 and 50 amp hook ups. If you go over $75 of electricity, it is billed at 0.11/kwh which is the same rate the power company charges us. Â
Lot rent is due on the 1st of the month, so everyone receives their invoices at the same time. The invoice includes the breakdown of your electricity use for transparency. Â
We have air conditioned laundry room on site with 4 washers and 4 dryers which accept quarters and our managers have them available on site.
We have a restroom and showers in the same building as laundry. Â
And we also have a dog park and plenty of room to walk throughout the community with dog waste stations throughout. Â
We have mailboxes for each site so that you can receive your mail. Amazon, UPS and Fedex will deliver right to your camper.
We have a new vending machine with cold Pepsi products at the bathhouse available 24/7.
We are also currently adding a community area with fire pit, picnic tables, horseshoes, corn hole and a playground. In the fall we hope to add a walking trail.
If you have any other questions you can give our managers Ben and Chelsea a call or text at (762)333-2901 and they would be happy to help with any other questions you may have or they can text you pictures of any sites that are available.
