    Paradise Meadows

    Enjoy comfort, luxury, and great hospitality in a small space

    The Tiny House is one of several rental options on this property. (Others include a huge glamping tent and a farmhouse). This review focuses on the tiny house where we stayed for two nights but I have included a few photos of the glamping tent, which was not open when we were there (opens in April). 

    A lot is packed into a small space with so many creative touches. There is a full-size loft bed and a pull-out couch so while you could sleep four people, it would be a bit crowded inside. There is also a screened-in porch with two swing seats, and a table so you could eat outside. 

    Lyn (the owner)’s hospitality is second to none. The tiny house is stocked with a microwave, toaster oven, electric kettle, Keurig, and an induction burner plus dishes, flatware, and just about everything else you would expect in a fully stocked kitchen. There is also a table grill that can be set up on the table on the screened porch. There is a great selection of tea and hot chocolate plus pancake mix, and syrup. 

    There is a full bath with a flush toilet, sink, and shower with fluffy towels. 

    There is a fire pit available to use. 

    This would make a wonderful couples retreat, a mother-daughter getaway, or a place for solo reflection. Chattanooga is located just 25 minutes away and there is a fully stocked gourmet grocery store just down the road.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Go to the website for more information on this and other options at this property.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Backcountry Camping That's Nicely Balanced

    One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay. Our backcountry campground had a fire pit and even a picnic table, and was nestled beside a babbling brook. We set up our tents, hung our hammocks and got cooking as soon as we arrived. The next morning, the sun's early rays could be seen from our tent opening, making for an epic start to the day. There are outhouses nearby and the visitor's center is only a few minutes' drive away if anyone in your camping party desires running water. A great balance! All the hikes around Cloudland are winners, and you can easily spend the weekend there.

    Greeter Falls Campground

    Nice campground in the woods

    Booked two rv sites for this past Labor Day weekend for my wife and I and her sister’s family. Very easy to get to, paved roads. Saw some class C motorhomes in there. I did not check out the entire campground so not sure how big an rv can fit so best to just call.

    This campground is a little over a year old. We stayed in Area C (sites 41 & 42) which is considered the Main Campus, has the camp office and bath house there. Our rv sites were gravel, required some leveling, had FHUs. 50/30/20 amp service, water and sewer of course. All worked great, no issues. Site included a trash can, fire pit with affixed grill and a picnic table. My camper is 23 ft long and tow vehicle is an F150. I unhooked and had just enough room to park off to the side in front of my camper. The spots are very spaced so if you don’t have room like that you may be able to park beside the site like my in laws did.

    While we didn’t use them, they have an activity room, saw a projector screen in there and a table, they had an area behind the activity room, kind of like an outdoor hangout, lights, fire pit , chairs. Bathhouse is code locked and was clean. They have a fenced in dog park area centrally located in area c, seemed of good size with lots of trees. They have a little sand pit area for kids to play in.

    The staff are very friendly. They have a small camp store just down the road from the entrance to the campground. Just past the camp store is the trailhead to the water falls.

    Unfortunately my back wasn’t feeling great and my wife recently had surgery on her foot. We did hike back there some. There are 4 waterfalls according to their map. Unfortunately it was pretty dry so there wasn’t much waterfall action. The upper falls was pretty cool. We couldn’t make it to all of the falls.

    They do have free wifi available but I can’t speak much on it. The signal for it at my campsite wasn’t very good so I didn’t use it. I have Verizon and had 3 bars and LTE and the data signal was strong for me. Was able to stream, FaceTime, pretty much whatever I wanted. Of course, I’m not sure if it’s like the everywhere in the campground, but where I was it worked great.

    Overall, very pleased with our stay and definitely want to come back when we’re doing better to check out all the falls and do some swimming.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Those views tho

    Incredible views at a great state park! Stayed three nights over Easter Weekend in the East Rim. The East Rim is located on the main park road and about 5 minutes walk from the Trail Heads. Your camper is on display for all the day trippers but TOTALLY WORTH IT for the majestic views! Your afternoon stroll includes 2 waterfalls, multiple overlooks, woodlands, and gorgeous canyons. We drove over to the West Rim and it was much more woodsy and secluded, but we were there for the walking so did not mind the activity and open sites of the East Rim.

    Bathhouse was tidy, stocked, and heated. Could use a deep cleaning, but nothing that was unsanitary. Super hot showers! Washing machine had been removed but did have a sink to hand-wash and a dryer. Each bathhouse in the West Rim was supposed to have laundry as well so could drive over if necessary.

    Our site did have plastic and debris scattered around including inside the fire pit, so we left it cleaner than we found it.

    Loved the fact that they had aluminum recycling!

    The surroundings absolutely deserve 5 stars, just docking one for the trash left at the site. Will be back to tackle more of the trails!

    Fairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park

    Great lakefront campground

    We stayed in lot 59 which while not lakefront, it’s situated in a triangular spot right at the entrance with plenty of space for full setup. Picnic table and campfire grill also on site. Bathhouse was clean and the dogs had plenty of shoreline to run on. Would return!

    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    Great Campground

    We love camping at Fort Mountain. Its usually a good bit cooler due to the elevation, and the private wooded campsites make tent camping in Georgia’s summer heat much more enjoyable. Good hiking and things to do nearby.

    Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

    Clean, well-maintained, phenomenal scenery

    Some sites are a bit close together, others are more private. We were on 29. A bit close to neighbor. Separate fire pit area with separate grill was a nice feature. Very nice to have electric and water on site. So many hiking trails. Very well maintained and marked but lots of stairs. Trail maps however not the best. Cherokee Falls is beautiful.

    Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA

    Nice but not welcoming

    This is a nice spot with decent sites. It has a large although dated pool with minimal seating and no shade, there is a pavilion with shade on the other side of the pool fence. The dog park is large but all gravel with no grass or dirt. There is a jump pillow which the kids enjoyed. The real downfall to this KOA is the not welcoming and unfriendly staff. The check in process felt aggressive and any encounter with staff that I was involved in or witnessed was not very friendly at all.

    Chester Frost Park

    Waterfront Tranquility

    Our stay at Chester Frost was amazing. We stayed on site 172. We could not be happier with our choice. The campsite was very spacious, quiet and one of the best views! The sites that are waterfront are spread out really well. This is the most quiet campground we have ever stayed at, at one point we talked about feeling like we were the only people there. We were not the only people there, it was quite full. The campground provides so many recreational opportunities. They have a frisbee golf course, playgrounds, walking trails, beach, easy access to the water and fields to start up any activity you desire. We read about uneven campsite but ours was pretty flat. Bathhouse were fabulous. They have individual shower rooms, and the restrooms are up to date with contactless toilets, sinks and hand dryers. The showers and bathrooms were cleaned frequently. The sites do not have a grill but have a picnic table and a fire-pit. The wildlife is very active! The first morning we woke up to deer on our campsite, no better way to wake up! The raccoons scavenging spooked us too one night. There were ten right outside our trailer when I stepped out one night 🤣.

    We definitely we stay here again with no hesitation. We loved it and it has moved to the top of our list of places to stay again!


Guide to Rising Fawn

Cloudland Canyon State Park Yurt Village provides elevated glamping accommodations on ten wooden platforms arranged in a dedicated loop. The yurts measure 20 feet in diameter with canvas and wood construction, offering electricity and heating during cooler months. Each unit contains furniture including beds with mattresses, futons, tables, and chairs, allowing visitors to camp without extensive equipment. Outside, each yurt features a deck, picnic table, grill, and fire ring where guests can prepare meals and enjoy the surrounding forest.

What to do

Hiking the West Rim Trail: Set aside 3-4 hours to complete the 5-mile West Rim Trail loop, which offers panoramic views of the canyon. At Cloudland Canyon State Park, "the trails are moderate to strenuous because of elevation gain and roots/rocks," according to a camper, who adds that "the West Rim campground is VASTLY superior with tons of privacy, tree cover, great terraces at most sites."

Explore backcountry camping areas: For a more secluded experience, hike to one of the backcountry sites located 1-3 miles from parking areas. "One of my favorite campgrounds in Georgia is at Cloudland Canyon State Park. A small hike from the parking area, there's plenty of space in these woods for a quaint and quiet stay," notes a reviewer who appreciated that "our backcountry campground had a fire pit and even a picnic table, and was nestled beside a babbling brook."

Visit nearby attractions: Plan day trips to Chattanooga attractions just 30-45 minutes away. "Close to Cloudland Canyon & Lookout Mountain & Chattanooga! Clean facility and friendly staff," writes a visitor at Lookout Mountain-Chattanooga West KOA, adding "we wished we had more time! Could spend 4-5 days here and have a lot to do!"

What campers like

Platform camping options: For those seeking alternatives to standard glamping in Rising Fawn, the park offers raised wooden platforms for tent camping. At Fort Mountain State Park, a similar platform setup impressed one camper who noted, "We chose Fort Mountain for the variety of camping options they had, specifically the platform sites. As one of our primary requirements for camping is privacy and a place our kids can run around without bothering anyone else, having a place slightly off the main road sounded perfect--and it was."

Walk-in site privacy: The secluded walk-in sites provide a more traditional camping experience with added privacy. A Cloudland Canyon visitor explained, "Love the tent-only serenity of the walk-in sites. There is a separate parking lot at the back of the park for the walk-in sites, which are a short distance away (easy to haul your gear). The sites have a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring, and lots of privacy as the sites are very far from each other."

Waterfront options nearby: Multiple campgrounds within 30-45 minutes offer lakeside camping. A visitor at Chester Frost Park enjoyed "beautiful views, waterfront sites, good fishing" and noted they were "staying on the lake front and watching the sun set."

What you should know

Limited shower facilities: While glamping accommodations at Cloudland Canyon include access to bathhouses, these can get busy during peak seasons. "We were near the showerhouse which is newer, two showers, two sinks, three stalls, doors propped open, bugs flying about," reports one camper who also noted "there are laundry facilities in the same building."
