Andersonville RV Park
Overview
Andersonville RV Park serves as a peaceful retreat for those looking to explore the deep historical roots of Sumter County, Georgia. This park is not a high-activity resort but rather a quiet home base designed for reflection and convenience. Located just a short distance from the village center, it offers a simplified camping experience that allows the surrounding history to remain the focal point of your visit. It is an ideal spot for those who appreciate a no-frills environment while traveling through the heart of the South.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated in a charming rural setting characterized by the slow pace of life in Southwest Georgia. Surrounded by whispering pines and open skies, the location is adjacent to the historic town of Andersonville. Travelers will enjoy the authentic small-town atmosphere, where historical markers and vintage buildings tell the story of the region's past. The environment is notably calm and provides a stark contrast to more commercialized travel hubs, making it a restful stop for weary road travelers.
Amenities & Park Features
Functional and well-maintained, the park features level pull-thru sites that cater to various rig sizes, including many big rigs. Each site is equipped with full hookups, offering 30- and 50-amp electricity, water, and sewer connections. For added convenience, the park provides access to on-site laundry facilities and clean bathhouses. These essential amenities ensure a comfortable stay for both overnight guests and those planning an extended historical pilgrimage to the nearby national monuments and museums.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The crown jewel of the area is the Andersonville National Historic Site, located only minutes away. Visitors can spend hours at the National Prisoner of War Museum or walking the hallowed grounds of the historic prison site and National Cemetery. Within the village of Andersonville, you can explore the Drummer Boy Museum or enjoy seasonal local events like the Pioneer Harvest Festival. The proximity to Americus also allows for quick trips to see Victorian-era architecture and local dining favorites.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is perfectly suited for history buffs and veterans who want to pay their respects at the national cemetery and museum. It is also an excellent choice for full-time RVers seeking a quiet, respectful location to rest during a long journey through Georgia.

Melissa G.
Nice park with reasonable prices. Miss Kay,camp host, is very nice and helpful with things to visit in the area. The park was mowed nicely but we had a large apple tree hanging down to our camper which was a little tricky to navigate. I didn’t check out the restrooms but they are only a short walk from anywhere in the campground. This is a good location to get the national park.

A nice park, well maintained. Concrete pads for some of the sites. Easy in and out access. And calling distance to the historic spots. Relatively close to shopping in Americus, and an easy drive to and from Plains.
Karen Hickok
A very simple, unassuming RV park with full hook-ups. The site was narrow and we did not have a picnic table, but it was not a problem for us. The camp host was delightful and we enjoyed our stay.

County ran RV and tent campground. Very nice stay, quiet at night. Ms. Kay helpful and friendly. Bathroom clean. Would recommend for anyone, great area. Walkable to historical area; Drummer boy museum, small store with restaurant.

Nice, very quiet little park right in town. Has full hook ups but the sewer connections for two sites are next to each other. This means the person in one site will be able to hook as usual but the other will have to run his “slinky” hose beneath his camper to use the connection. Also the sewer connections in the pull through sites are near the front of the site—this doesn’t work well if your RV, like ours, has the dumping connection near the back of the camper. We ended up buying a 60 foot garden hose at the Tractor Supply in Americus to dump our gray water. Dumped sewage on the way out—pulled forward and used the slinky hose. (Tractor Supply also sells propane by the gallon with no tank exchange. Just take your tank. The many historical sites in Sumter County were amazing! In addition to the National PIW Museum in Andersonville the Jimmy Carter National Historical areas in Plains were enjoyable and *do not* miss the Rural GA Telephone Museum in Leslie. Overall I’d recommend this campground because it’s quiet, centrally located, and inexpensive. No playground or other activities. Lots of critters visited—chickens and a huge gobbling Turkey as well as four friendly cats.
