Atlanta
Dates
Atlanta has many vibrant neighborhoods that deliver experiences that are intertwined with dynamic southern culture. The famous Peachtree Street travels through Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead and is ideal for a camper van rental adventure.
If you are looking for outdoor excursions, exciting attractions, luxury shopping and exquisite delectable cuisines, we suggest Atlanta’s trendy neighborhoods on the Eastside and Westside. We recommend renting a camper van to visit the nearby cities of Sandy Springs or Decatur for an adventurous day trip. The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is an ideal place for a camper van rental vacation. We recommend Paces Mill Trail where you can hike or bike the trail that follows alongside the river or enjoy the water by shooting the hooch on a tube or in a kayak. Covering 185 acres of Midtown Atlanta, Piedmont Park is the city’s largest park and has been the site of family gatherings and celebrations for nearly two centuries. Head one hour north of Atlanta in a camper van rental to Amicalola Falls State Park in the heart of Chattahoochee National Forest. Located in the North Georgia mountains there are 829 acres of wilderness with several trails perfect for either a challenging technical hike or a relaxing stroll. You can take the 604 steps to see the magnificent Amicalola Falls waterfall. At 729 feet, it's the largest waterfall in Georgia and will impress you with its natural beauty and power.
When Atlanta was picked as the 1996 Olympics host city it beat out Athens, Toronto, Melbourne, Manchester, and Belgrade for the spot.
Atlanta is home to the Eastern Continental Divide, separating water that drains into the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlanta is the only city in the US destroyed as an act of war. General Sherman burnt it to the ground during the Civil War and only 400 buildings survived.
