Forrest Street Partners has acquired Leisure Acres Campground, an RV resort strategically located in Cleveland, GA, just an hour north of Atlanta. The park is close to Dahlonega, Helen, Dawsonville, and Gainesville, and brands itself as the “Gateway to the Mountains.” This strategic move aligns with the firm’s vision to cater to the RV community by offering top-notch service and necessary enhancements in Georgia and the Southeast. Leisure Acres features 135 RV sites and one cabin.
Though the RV park has been maintained with high standards, the real estate firm plans to invest back into the park. Investments will consist of paving the roads, new dog parks, fencing, new branding, and completing general property maintenance/upgrades. Forrest Street plans to retain the existing staff, while also focusing on creating more operational efficiencies.
“Overall, the park is in great condition, so our focus is on the park’s infrastructure and operations as we train the existing team and continue to prioritize the guest experience,” said Forrest Street Partner, Todd Baldree.
Leisure Acres attracts both short-term and long-term campers and offers a variety of amenities for guests. These include a beautiful fishing pond with a new Trex-covered deck, a community center, pool, playground, laundry center, and an updated bathhouse with new heating and air. The park’s proximity to the Dahlonega wineries and Helen, which hosts Oktoberfest, gives guests many options to explore North Georgia.
“The town of Cleveland offers shopping and eateries and an opportunity to escape and relax in beautiful North Georgia. Its proximity to Dahlonega and Helen gives guests many tourist options, and Gainesville is a growing job center. We are confident that this park will remain a popular respite for both locals and travelers alike, while also providing a unique setting for guests working in the area,” added Baldree.
