Perfect for bike packing

The Chief Ladiga Trail is a rails to trails bike path running from Piedmont, AL to the Georgia state line then continues almost to Atlanta as the Silver Comet Trail. My wife and I decided to try out bike camping on this trail since the wide flat paved path makes it easy to carry a bunch of gear on the back of your bike. The paid campground is located a couple miles before you hit the state line and makes a great spot to sleep at after 1 full day if you start at the Alabama trailhead. The campground is in the middle of the Talladega national forest and when you arrive it has a path directly off of the trail. When we were there in mid April the campground was only about 10 percent full so we had a lot of privacy which was really wonderful. Most of the sites are fairly spacious but there is no trees or other dividers since they are mostly organized in an open field. The nice thing is though the sites are along a little stream that is large enough to go swimming in and helps to cool off after a long day of biking. The facility also has bathrooms and showers if you prefer though they were a short walk from where we stayed. The people at the campground were super friendly and didn't have an issue with the fact that we didn't pay till the morning after we camped. The cost was $25 which was on the more expensive side for a campground but would be worth it if you bring a group since the cost is not per person. Another advantage to this campground is its proximity to the Pinhoti trail.
