TravelerBeautiful off the grid campground
Unfortunately this campground is closed due to owner's health.
This is a beautiful off the grid campground. The grounds are well maintained with a clean bathhouse. A beautiful stream runs through the campground. The sites are large with a picnic table and place to build a fire. There are no hook ups and cell service is spotty. You are in a remote peaceful valley with hills all around. The Chief Ladiga bike trail runs by the property so you have easy access to biking or hiking. Great spot to get away from the stresses of modern life and enjoy nature.
ScoutSimple, clean, convenient
Lots of open space, trees, by a river. Clean bath house with hot showers. Right on Chief Ladiga Rail trail about 6 miles west of AL/GA border. We road east, will come back to ride west segment. Dark at night for star gazing. Friendly folks.
GuideNice primitive campground.
This campground is so peaceful no matter what time of year you go.
