Nice campground to see the Fall leaves

We had the best site in this campground we were in site #50, a big site with water & electric hook up and pretty private, with cable and a dump station . Nice tall pines, maple & oak trees and we hit the leaf change just right this year on Oct 31st. There's nice trails in the park one around the lake & one to a small waterfall across the street. There is no cell service. You can drive up the road about a mile or so there's a cell tower & you can get service.  You can kayak there the lake is small but beautiful this time of the year. 

We took the trail to the old tower and stone wall. The wall is a mystery when and who built it? Legends say it was the  Cherokees early 1600's or the moon eyed people in as defense against the Cherokees. Beautiful view from the top of the tower.  

If your going to stay in several Georgia state parks you can buy the friends of GA family pass which get's you free camping it pays for itself. Georgia has some great state parks. About 2 miles up the road is a viewpoint you can pull over and watch a beautiful sunset. Ellijay is close by if you need groceries or want to shop.
