Leisure Acres - Cleveland, Georgia

J.R.

Really need to reconsider the No Dog Fence prohibition. No easy drive from Florida, and the first thing we like to do after pulling in is set the pen up and let the dogs get out of the RV. They are out of the way while I set up outside, and the boss sets up inside. We both presently have mobility issues that make it hard to walk them. That's why we invested the money for the pen. And No, we do not leave them out there unattended. Other than that, Leisure Acres is a solid spot.

Very nice and well-maintained campground. There are a few shortcomings though. The main road going in and out of the park, which is gravel, is very hard to negotiate with a big rig, they either drag or just tires. The biggest drawback is it located right on a very busy highway, it’s busy day at night with lots of big trucks and heavy equipment, motorcycles, muscle cars, just a very noisy place. There’s not a tree in sight in The main part of the campground so I’m sure it’s very hot in the summertime. It was our first time there and I’m sure it will be the last time. That busy road and the traffic was enough to keep me from ever coming back.

We had a 5 day stay at Leisure Acres, 4 days on site 91 and one day on site 40. First of all if your looking for WiFi service it was nonexistent at this RV park you get good signal strength but no internet service. It comes and goes but never over 1 Mbps download speeds and no upload at all. So with no cable or internet service you’ll need to go somewhere else with service to download entertainment. On to the sites where way to small for most RV so you have to park sideways in front of your RV or you’d be sticking out in the drive! Both of the sites we stayed on were very unleveled so much so that my leveling jacks we’re unable to compensate. That being said the pond was nice with the ducks but the driveway going out had a hill that is way to steep so you end up spinning your wheels trying to get out. I’m hoping that this is a work in progress. There are other small things that need work but I guess for the price per night was ok.

I was there for the Freedom Festival with the Pyrotechnics team. It was wonderful. Family friendly, great show, people baptized in the lake, food & vendors. John & Peggy do it right. If your looking for a camping spot go check them out. Convenient to town & not to far from Helen or Gainesville.

I stayed here for a little over four years in both the short term and long term side. Over all was a great place to stay. Very nice views and plenty of things to do in the area. Throughout the years the staff changed. There was both good and bad during my stay. Lots of rules which is both good and bad. They do keep the place clean and quite as well as have several activities throughout the year. Most of the other campers were really nice people that are willing to help you out if you needed something. They have all the services onsite (showers, laundry, propane) as well as walking trails around a stocked lake. I would recommend this place to people looking for camping in the area, just make sure you follow the rules and everything should be okay.

We were here for a weekend get away and stayed for 2 nights in site 34. The site was very level. Others are posting reviews about unlevel sites, well every campground has unlevel sites. Do your research and pick your site.

Staff was friendly and park was well maintained and clean. They have a nice pond and dock area that you can walk around with benches to sit at around the pond.
The road going down the hill to our site was gonna be to steep for me to get traction in the gravel when coming out but the staff let me use the dam road around the pond to come out thru.
Bathrooms and showers were keep very clean. I would stay here again!

Of all my years camping I’ve never seen a park that doesn’t allow vinyl winter skirting. The 3 page list of rules fails to mention this. And the sites are tiny.

Stayed here in a 45' Class A Motorhome. The reservation process was easy. Payment by check or credit card (additional 3% fee), BUT campsites located on the side where the office is located are NOT well suited for large rigs---at least not the one that we were assigned---even after I questioned the desk attendant about being able to drive down the hill and make the sharp curve.

First and foremost, the roads are narrow and the hill to access sites below the pond is too steep for large motorhomes. While our coach actually sits higher than many other 45' rigs, the exhaust for our aqua hot dragged on the ground while trying to drive down the hill! Thankfully, we heard it and promptly stopped, so as not to cause any damage. We unhooked our toad to make it a little easier to get through the park and a gentleman working for the campground helped us navigate another way into our assigned site.

It is a fairly quiet campground, but I would not call the campers “friendly”. There is significant road noise---especially from tractor trailers using brake retarders.

We will look at the sites on the other side of the road tomorrow, but at this point, I caution anyone wanting to stay here to know the clearance under their unit. In my humble opinion, this campground is not Big Rig Friendly and better suited for small Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes, as well as small 5th wheel and travel trailers.
