Many people are fleeing the coming Hurricane Florence in an effort to save their lives and those of their loved ones. Large areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia are being evacuated mandatorily, and many thousands will be left without shelter in the wake of the storm.

Contact or call us today to make your reservation and secure place of increased safety from the storm.

Fires Creek picnic area and hiking trails are a haven for many people who visit (or live in!) the mountains of Western North Carolina. The area features a creek that runs right through the woods in the foothills, and from this the area takes its name (all except the Fires part… ;)).
This beautiful and peaceful place is equipped with many eating areas located at comfortable distances from each other, making it a great place to go — even if there are several others who have also decided to come out and enjoy God’s creation!
There are several hiking trails nearby that work well for beginners as well as those who are more experienced in their hiking skills. Perhaps the most famous would be the Rim Trail. This trail is a loop measuring nearly twenty-five miles, and is rated “difficult.”
And now for the best part: Fires Creek is in Haysville, NC – only an estimated 20 minutes drive from Peachtree Cove RV Park. It really can’t get much better than that, can it? We as a family have greatly enjoyed many holidays and outings out at the creek, picnic areas, and trails. We know from experience: Fires Creek is a wonderful place for your family to just be! You won’t want your blue-light devices out here – there is far too much natural beauty to enjoy. And better yet: the fall season is right around the corner, so the leaves in the mountains will be turning to varied shades of gold, orange, yellow, red, and garnet, contributing a wealth of autumn splendor to the already-pleasing atmosphere. Fires Creek is calling; What are you waiting for?

Many people don’t realize that Peachtree Cove is located a comfortable and lovely hour’s drive away from Blue Ridge, Georgia. This mountain city is nestled in the heart of the lovely North Georgia mountains. Each year, hundreds of people flock to the North Georgia mountains to enjoy the beautiful scenery, tour the quaint historic downtown Blue Ridge, and soak up hours of relaxation up in the heights.
Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of touring in the North Georgia mountains is that, while many thousands flock for a visit each season, the area rarely, if ever, takes on the feeling of a major tourist attraction with all of the entailed chaos and traffic. There are also many activities to help make the most of your vacation and family time, including the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, floating down the Toccoa River, horseback riding through the mountains, scenic driving for motorists, hiking, and more! And the best news of all? You can visit during any season: all year ’round!
There are numerous restaurants scattered throughout Blue Ridge offering wonderful dining experiences to enhance your visit. Also, don’t forget about the many charming shops at which you can purchase scores of quality items to add that special touch to your home and life, or as gifts for the ones you love. From home furnishings and décor to old fashioned candy and everything in between, you can build up your vacation to the highest notch possible when you take advantage of all Blue Ridge has to offer.
If you think you need to stay in Blue Ridge to benefit from all it offers, don’t be mistaken. Peachtree Cove RV Park is ready and waiting to welcome you to the mountains. And besides, what could be better than basking in the beautiful Smokies of Western North Carolina at night, while still making the most of a North Georgia experience?
Still hesitating about the right destination for you? Check out our Attractions page for more information, and read about other attractions in the area here. Contact us today to make your reservation at Peachtree Cove!

It’s time to build some new tables for Peachtree Cove RV Park. Some of the old ones are still in use, but after years of enduring weather, we decided it was time to retire the old and replace with new. After all, could the camping experience be complete without a picnic table? 🙂 We found a pattern for the tables that uses synthetic decking, which would prove to be more weather resistant. It’s been a great project for the guys at our house, and they’ve been enjoying the process!
