Fair Harbor RV Park & Campground

The idea of Fair Harbor RV Park was conceived in early 1997 when I and my friend/manager of a nearby propane business decided we were not happy in the propane business and wanted to start a new business “from scratch”. We settled on the idea of an RV Park in either Byron or Perry. Perry won out because of the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter and the “perfect” property that was shown to us on our visit to Perry. Ironically, the property had been a campground in the early 1970s but had been abandoned since it’s closure in 1973. With the property so overgrown, it was hard to get around just to look, but still, it was the obvious choice. With the purchase of the property in mid 1997, completion of the site plan, purchase and rental of much heavy equipment, construction began in the fall of 1997 and continued through 1998. Fair Harbor RV Park and Campground opened January 1, 1999 with 103 sites. “Fair” came from the Georgia National Fairgrounds and “Harbor” was chosen because we wanted visitors to envision a safe place. There have been several additions since and FHRV now offers 200+ RV sites, camping cabins, horse facilities, inside, outside, sheltered storage and self storage units. And, FHRV is, as far as we know, the only RV park in Georgia generating significant amounts of solar energy.
