RV Rental Riverdale, GA

You don't have to venture far to get in touch with Clayton County's green side. The Reynolds Nature Preserve in Morrow is 15 minutes away by Riverdale camper rental and typifies Georgia’s rolling hills. The preserve welcomes locals and visitors alike into its almost 150 acres of mixed woodland (oak, hickory, and pine) made more relaxing by spring-fed ponds, wetlands, and a three-mile hiking trail. See how farm life was like in the late 19th century when you visit the barn within the preserve dating back to that period.

Though almost a fifth of Reynolds Nature Preserve’s size, the Newman Wetlands Center hosts a population of more than 130 species of birds. In the past, the land was used for timber harvest, cotton farming, and a Boy Scout camp. Today the half-mile Boardwalk Trail gets you closer to the wetland’s residents. Spy a heron stalking fish, or spot a muskrat swimming.

Half an hour away by Riverdale motorhome rental lies one of the Atlanta area's monadnocks, or bare rock outcrops, that rise abruptly from the surrounding landscape. Unlike Stone Mountain and Arabia Mountain, Panola Mountain never saw large-scale quarrying and was therefore mostly left in its natural state. Launch a boat or wet a line on the surrounding park’s lake, hike the granite outcrop independently, or join one of the ranger-led tours to access the mountain's restricted zones where unique ecosystems thrive.

You may not have to leave town for the nearest RV campground if all you need is a place to stay for a night or two.

Don’t worry, there are dozens of gas stations in town so you can go on your search with a full tank.

Look farther beyond, and other options come up. With a couple of exceptions, the campgrounds (including one for military families) you'll encounter offer full hookup sites, restrooms, and showers.

Find a safe parking space for your travel trailer rental in Riverdale and take the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) commuter bus to get around Clayton County, and more important, for Gone with the Wind fans and history buffs, Jonesboro's historic district. Join a historic bus tour to cover more ground and learn more about the various locations and homes that were immortalized in the novel. Don’t miss the Road to Tara Museum to see Margaret Mitchell's china and reproductions of Scarlett O'Hara's famous dresses.

You don't have to imagine the novel’s setting when you get to the Stately Oaks Plantation. It’s a preserved 1839 Greek Revival antebellum home that represents the time period when "Tara," the heroine's family home, would have stood. Follow a costumed docent to see the interior, or listen to pre-recorded audio as you tour the inside of the home and the grounds.

Take your Riverdale RV trailer rental with you for a day trip to Atlanta and explore its wealth of cultural, historical, and artistic attractions.

NASCAR fans might want to see some action at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Animal lovers of all ages shouldn't miss visiting the massive aquarium and zoo while art aficionados would want some time in front of exhibits hanging at the High Museum of Art. This being the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr., a visit to Atlanta won't be complete without stepping inside the birth home of the iconic Civil Rights leader.
