Secure covered RV parking is the sweet spot for most Atlanta-area RV owners—providing meaningful protection at reasonable cost. Understanding what monthly rates look like across the Metro and how to evaluate facilities (beyond just reading reviews) helps you make a smart choice.

Standard covered parking:

• Metal roof structure overhead
• Open or partially open sides
• Protects from direct sun, rain, and hail
• Doesn't protect from blowing rain or extreme temperatures

What it costs you to skip covered:

• UV degradation of roof, seals, graphics
• Hail damage (potentially thousands)
• Accelerated interior fading/damage

Minimum security:

• Perimeter fencing
• Gated entry
• Adequate lighting

Better security:

• Individual access codes (not shared)
• Camera coverage
• On-site management presence
• Access logging

Location (biggest impact):

• Inside I-285: Highest
• Close suburbs: Moderate
• Outer suburbs: Most affordable

RV size:

• Under 25ft: Lower rates
• 25-35ft: Standard rates
• 35ft+: Premium rates

Covered vs. uncovered:

• Covered typically 25-50% more than outdoor

| Location | Under 25ft | 25-35ft | 35ft+ | |----------|------------|---------|-------| | Inside I-285 | $175-250 | $200-300 | $250-400 | | Close suburbs | $125-175 | $150-225 | $200-300 | | Outer suburbs | $100-150 | $125-175 | $150-250 |

Rates vary by specific facility and features

Typically included:

• Covered parking space
• Gate access
• Basic security features

May be extra:

• Electrical hookups ($30-75/month)
• Extended access hours
• Premium location within facility

Low volume: Most RV storage has few reviews—not enough for patterns

Selection bias: Mostly very happy or very unhappy reviewers

Different priorities: What matters to one owner may not matter to you

Consistent complaints: Multiple reviews mentioning same issue = real problem

Management response: How facility responds to complaints indicates professionalism

Recent vs. old: Recent reviews more relevant than old ones

• Whether space fits YOUR RV
• Your specific access needs
• Location convenience for YOU
• Current availability

Research:

• Confirm covered storage exists
• Get basic rate quotes
• Ask about availability
• Understand access hours

Questions to ask:

1. "Do you have covered spaces for [your RV length]?"
2. "What's the monthly rate?"
3. "What security features do you have?"
4. "What are your access hours?"
5. "Is there currently availability?"

Observe:

• Covered structure quality (roof condition, height clearance)
• Fencing (complete, good repair)
• Gate operation (smooth, reliable)
• Lighting (adequate coverage)
• Overall maintenance (indicates management quality)

Check your fit:

• Can your RV actually fit in available spaces?
• Is there maneuvering room?
• How far is the space from the entrance?

Talk to staff:

• Are they knowledgeable?
• Are they responsive?
• Do they seem professional?

Trust your gut:

• Did it feel secure?
• Did it seem well-managed?
• Would you feel comfortable leaving your RV there?

Good: Complete perimeter, 6ft+ height, good condition

Red flag: Gaps, damaged sections, easy to climb

Good: Individual codes, closes automatically, functions smoothly

Red flag: Shared codes, often stuck open, frequent breakdowns

Good: Coverage throughout, working fixtures, automatic operation

Red flag: Dark areas, many burned-out lights

Good: Visible cameras at key points, actually recording

Red flag: Fake cameras, cameras pointed at nothing useful

Good: Clean, organized, well-maintained, professional staff

Red flag: Neglected appearance, unresponsive staff, disorganization

Maximum security features + covered = highest cost

For most RV owners, the question is: where do you find the balance?

Essential:

• Covered protection
• Basic security (fence, gate, lights)
• Your access needs met

Nice to have:

• Camera coverage
• Electrical hookups
• Premium location

Prioritize based on:

• Your RV's value
• How often you access it
• Local crime considerations
• Your budget
