Think RV camping, relaxing in a cabin and getting away to the lake are only for summer? Think again! Winter at Lake Lanier unveils a whole new side of adventure, where peaceful mountain views meet snowy fun. As the crowds thin and crisp air settles over the landscape, Camp Margaritaville RV Resort at Lanier Islands transforms into one of Georgia's best winter destinations—boasting lakeside relaxation with a twist of seasonal excitement.
Winter's Best-Kept Secret
While Lake Lanier hums with activity during the warmer months, winter unmasks its quieter, more intimate beauty. A winter escape to Lake Lanier means peaceful mornings enjoying a steaming cup of coffee, watching the sun sparkle on the water before setting off for a day full of adventure along the lake's 692 miles of shoreline.
Does it snow in Georgia?
At License to Chill Snow Island, it does! And when you stay at Camp Margaritaville, your RV site or cabin on the lake is just minutes away from this true winter wonderland. Zoom down Blizzard Mountain, Georgia's longest snow tubing hill, or glide across Frosty's Ice Rink on a pair of skates. Whether you choose a Day Pass or a Winter Fin Pass for fun all season long, you can enjoy snowball fights, carnival rides, lively libations at Tipsy Snowman bar and more. As day eases into evening, grab a s'mores kit from the Glacier Cafe Bakeshop and cozy up around a campfire back at your RV or cabin on Lake Lanier.
Scenic Winter Hiking Trails and Indoor Fun
Psst...did you know winter is actually one of the best times of year to explore Lake Lanier's hiking trails? With fewer hikers on the trails, you can explore at your own pace and discover the splendor of Georgia's winter wonderland. Laurel Ridge Trail offers scenic winter views of the lake and Buford Dam, while the paved Woodland Loop provides a gentle, family-friendly route.
If you're wanting to take a break from the chill, head indoors to the Game Changer Arcade, where ax-throwing, virtual sports and a thrilling escape room experience await.
Beyond the Lake: Winter in Northern Georgia
RV camping at Lake Lanier puts you within reach of North Georgia’s most magical winter spots. Take a trip to Helen, a charming Bavarian-style village, or visit the vineyards in Dahlonega, Georgia’s wine country, for some wine tasting. For nature lovers, Amicalola Falls offers breathtaking winter views of the state’s tallest waterfall.
