Georgia State Guide

Georgia was a fairly Vanlife friendly state. The one thing I noted was that there were not a lot of options for rest areas. In fact, I think they’re only four highway rest areas in the entire state. Overall I found the climate to be Vanlife friendly, and the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in particular, was very friendly towards van lifers. Perhaps one of my favorite things about Georgia is that you can be at the beach in two hours or the mountains in one to two hours depending on where you start.

The mountain biking is world-class and top-notch. I feel, though I only scratch the surface of what was available to me in Georgia and I will definitely plan on making future trips there – a month simply was not enough time. If you find yourself in Atlanta, you are remiss not to visit the Georgia state aquarium. It may very well be the best aquarium in the world. The entrance fee is rather high, but when you go, you can make an entire day of it and feel very entertained and enriched for the experience. The whale sharks are amazing. The beluga whales are beautiful and breathtaking, and the shark exhibit is something to behold.
