R Ranch In the Mountains
Overview

This unique destination operates as a member-owned resort that welcomes RV travelers looking for a more immersive ranch experience than a standard roadside campground. The property is defined by its rolling pastures, dense forests, and a sense of quiet seclusion that feels worlds away from the hustle of metropolitan life. It provides an authentic taste of high-country living with all the comforts of a modern resort.

Situated just outside the historic town of Dahlonega, GA, the park is perfectly positioned for exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains. The landscape is characterized by its high elevation views and lush greenery, providing a cool mountain breeze even during the humid summer months. The park’s layout takes advantage of the natural topography, offering secluded RV sites that feel integrated into the wilderness while maintaining easy access to the region's famous waterfalls and scenic overlooks.

Been going to R Ranch for years with family. It's a great place. Very relaxing. Dahlonega is a great town. There is an ownership issue - but this has been ongoing for years. We keep hoping the board and leadership will arrive at a sensible policy - because it is such a great, relaxing getaway. Plenty of hiking, there are horses for the trails, a lodge for gatherings, swimming, playgrounds for kids, and the staff are wonderful. It's a safe place to let your kids wander and explore.

We’ve been members for several years. It’s our home away from home! We love the ranch. Beautiful grounds, trails, small disc golf course, great pool, horseback riding, and great people! Fun events open to the public and a beautiful event/wedding venue.

Enjoyed our short time as owners. Views were incredible, sites were spacious and clean, and pool was awesome. Unfortunately, we are forever busy and didn’t visit as often as we’d like. We felt the annual dues, which kept increasing with time, were too expensive for us for only a couple of weekends a year.
