    Holiday Travel Park

    Sunny and Open RV Park

    Located just barely on the Georgia side of the GA/TN border, Holiday Travel Park has a community feel with its many full hook-up sites, most of which are extremely close together. 

    We are tent campers and there is not much here if you are not in an RV--they are nestled into the back of the campground, and have the benefit of a large grassy area so kids can run and stretch their legs, but quiet and privacy are still lacking. There is also a dog park located at the campground entrance so the four legged kids can run freely, and a playground next to the dog park, however it is in full sun so will be hot during the summer months--which is the perfect time to use the pool! Unfortunately due to COVID-19 both the pool and playground are closed at the time of this review, but it is good to know they are there once public spaces can open again.

    This campground has two sides; to the right of the main entrance is decidedly more shady while the side to the left gets more sun, and it seemed as though the shady side hosted many campers who were there long term. We even saw one set-up where it looked like someone had a couple of tomato plants growing in containers! These sites are all very close together but still had a peaceful vibe under the shady trees. The sunnier side (sites in the 100s) is where the playground, tent sites, and large grassy field are, so while the sites are still very close together there is a little bit more public space for larger groups or families. 

    There are three camping cabins that rent to groups of 2 people, and two camping cottages; a loft for groups of 4, or a one bedroom for groups of 6. Cabins and cottages have beds (you must bring your own linens), electricity, running water, grills, picnic tables, and the loft has a small kitchen. 

    This is a great stop for campers who want to see the Chattanooga/Chicakmauga area, and it has great amenities for families. However this is not a campground for those looking for a relaxing experience in nature due to proximity to the interstate and surrounding neighborhoods, and the small sites and lack of privacy from fellow campers.

    Amicalola Falls State Park Camping

    Has it all

    RV/tent camping and cabin rentals. Campsites had wifi and pretty good tv signal. There's also a lodge/hotel on site with a restaurant, with gorgeous views overlooking the valley below. Camping sites are spaced well apart with electric, water and fire rings. The campgrounds also feature a bathhouse and laundry.

    Begin your Appalachian Trail journey here with 604 steps to the top of a beautiful waterfall.

    Chattanooga North-Cleveland KOA

    Camping Cabins

    This was the second time staying at this campground. We used the camping cabins. The campground is nice. It has many things to do like a pool, cornhole, horseshoes. The cabins are ok. They have three beds. One double and a set of bunk beds. They have ac as well. They are small but do the job. The mattresses suck.

    Gorgeous Stays

    Cute place. Interesting Spots.

    Cute place. Interesting stays. Glamping tent, a bus, a tent pad, a few tiny cabins and more. Owners are nice and very accommodating. Shared gas fire area. It was a very cold night and they had our tent with heated blankets. It was definitely a Unique glamping area.

    Battlefield Campground & RV Park

    Woodsy Wayside

    Battlefield Campground is an extremely convenient RV park located right of I-75 about 20 minutes south of Chattanooga. It is very easy to get to, but part of that convenience comes with an absence of quiet; the interstate runs directly beside the campground, and is visible from the storage sites across from sites 11-24.

    This is an excellent place for long-term campers, and it includes a nice playground, a pool, and a camp store/clubhouse. We could not get close to the pool or playground as they were closed due to COVID-19, which was comforting that they are taking public safety seriously. Sites include 50 and 30 amp full service, and seven tent sites in the middle of the campground that also include electric. There are seven camping cabins spaced throughout the campground that have outside picnic tables and grills, and beds inside as well as electricity.

    Most of the sites here are nicely wooded, and as the area is slightly hilly there are elevation changes between several rows of sites which allows for a little more privacy than many RV parks offer. 

    Downsides to this park are the highway noise, and the campground roads are paved but in need of maintenance; the road is eroded in a lot of places. 

    Upsides are the sites are shady and well landscaped, and there are great amenities for families looking to stay here for extended periods of time, as well as the proximity to Chattanooga, Chickamauga Battlefield, and Ringold/Ft. Oglethorpe.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park

    Beautiful State Park with roomy shaded sites, many of which are creekside. A large lake for fishing and swimming is at the front of the park and it offers canoe and paddle boat rentals. Lots to do on-site such as walking trails, hiking and fishing, playgrounds and a Conservation Corps museum. Trahlyta Falls is an easy walking path, and the park also offers nice cabin rentals. There are no sewer hook-up, but it does have an easy access dump station.

    Vogel State Park Campground

    Beautiful hiking, large campsites

    We enjoyed a challenging 11-mile hike up and over 3 mountains from trail heads inside the park. There are shorter hikes that start here as well. My 9-year old loved exploring the mushrooms and nature growing in the very wooded campsites. The campsites are large with driveways, 1-2 tent pads, picnic table, fire ring and lantern poles at each site. The campground was very busy and you could see your neighbors around you. But this also means there are more conveniences like running water and hot showers. The campground also has a mini-gold course, lake and gift shop. There were lots of kids riding bikes and dogs are allowed, so while this so not a serene site, it's definitely great for families and groups that want to hang out!

    Two Wheels of Suchess

    Great Motorcycle Only campground

    Two Wheels of Suchess campground is one of the best motorcycle campgrounds I've stayed at. Open tent areas, trees for hammock camping, cabins and a bunk house are also available. Meals are available Friday night through Sunday morning, as well as breakfast on Monday morning. Fire wood and ice available 24 hours. The paved parking lot in front of the main lodge is for motorcycles only, however there is a gravel parking lot for 4 wheel vehicles. The campground and cabin areas are accessable via a bridge that is purposely not wide enough for a car to cross, but Motorcycles an trikes can. The facilities are kept in top-notch shape. Showers were spotless the 4 days I spent there. Lots of awesome roads in the area available to ride. Inside the lodge is the restaurant and an area to lounge with a fire place, big screen TV, couch, recliners and hundreds of motorcycle magazines to read. A stream runs through part of the tent camping area and next to the parking lot by the lodge.

    Fort Mountain State Park Campground

    Memorial Day Weekend was Awesome..

    We spent Memorial Day weekend at Fort Mountain and it was awesome. We camped in a Pioneer campsite #2 which is a 3 sided pavilion that would easily sleep 8-10 people if you were only using bed rolls and sleeping bags. Pioneer camping has its challenges, but each site has an outhouse and a picnic table and prebuilt fire ring. There is an original fire tower on top of the mountain at the end of the trail. A Great Lake for kayaks and fishing with Jon boats, paddle boats, and canoes avaialble for rentals. Lots of cool lake side tent sites and trailer sites are also avaialble. We have camped several times with our scout troop. Lots of cool trails surround the park. There were fireworks in neighboring towns a short,15 min drive both nights. The towns near by have stores and food if your not I the mood to cook. The history is well documented on displays all around the park. And the there is a station that broadcasts at the end of one of the public service roads.


Guide to Turtletown

Cabin camping near Turtletown, Tennessee offers access to the Cherokee National Forest and nearby Hiwassee River at elevations ranging between 1,500-2,000 feet. The area experiences moderate temperatures with summer averages in the 80s and cooler mountain nights requiring an extra layer even in July. Winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing, making cabin rentals particularly valuable during colder months.

What to do

Water adventures: 0.5 miles from Hiwassee River Area cabins, visitors can access multiple rafting companies. "We used the Webb Brothers rental company 0.5 miles down the road from the campground because they had same day availability without reservations," notes one Hiwassee visitor. Daily water releases affect river conditions, so plan accordingly.

Mountain biking: 7 miles from cabins. Fort Mountain State Park offers dedicated mountain biking trails with significant elevation changes. "The bike trails are not blazed. We suggest everyone wear a helmet not just the required 16 years and younger group," advises a Fort Mountain reviewer who explored the trail system extensively.

Fishing opportunities: On-site at many cabins. Henson Cove Private Campground includes "a giant stocked pond to fish in" according to camper reviews. Multiple creek-side cabin options throughout the region provide direct water access for fly fishing opportunities.

What campers like

Animal encounters: Interactive farm experiences. Candy Mountain Goat Farm offers unique cabin stays where "you'll be greeted by friendly owners who will get you into a site quickly, give a brief farm tour, and allow plenty of time to play with goats, ride a small zipline, relax by a bonfire, and even provide outdoor movies by request."

Peaceful creekside settings: Private retreats. North Sungate Farms Treehouse Glamping provides "fun and relaxing creekside Glamping treehouse" accommodations where "the creek is cool and refreshing to enjoy rock hunting" and stargazers report night skies that "looked like the planetarium!"

Cabin location flexibility: Options for privacy or activity. At Fort Mountain State Park Campground, "there are also beautiful cabins with lovely views on the mountain side. Most have mountain/forest views and a very few are near the lake. Realize that most of these are on large hills so there will be a nice walk to the lake/recreation area."

What you should know

Reservation timing requirements: Plan ahead. At popular cabins like Vogel State Park, reservations fill quickly during peak seasons. One visitor notes this is "one of the most popular parks in GA. It is usually crowded and books quickly."

Bathroom facilities: Vary significantly between properties. At Hiwassee River Area, "the bathhouse has hot showers and flush toilets but it's rather rustic due to all people using it coming off the river. There is no charge to use the showers. The bathhouse is shared with the daily rafters."

Water access considerations: Creek levels change seasonally. When staying at riverside cabins, be aware that "the water gets released at 11am, so the current picks up and water levels will rise quickly," according to a Hiwassee River Area visitor. This affects both recreation plans and campsite selection.

Cell service limitations: Limited connectivity. Many cabin locations report "no phone signal which is ok with us because we like to unplug," though some properties like Hiwassee offer "free WiFi available at the rafting Outfitter store."

Tips for camping with families

Accessible recreation: Age-appropriate options. Vogel State Park Campground offers family-friendly amenities including "Two separate children's playgrounds exist, not too far from one another. One near a small kids ball field...the other near a very nice volleyball court, permanent corn hole pit and state of the art outdoor exercise machine area."

Multi-generational activities: Various difficulty levels. At Fort Mountain, "The most stroller/limited mobility friendly trails are the lake trail and the Cool Springs overlook," allowing families with different mobility needs to enjoy outdoor time together.

Wildlife education opportunities: Bear awareness. Fort Mountain cabins are located in active bear territory where campers report "We had bear visitors, something they'll warn you about upon arrival. The bears just added to the appeal of this place though."

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: Level pads matter. At Fort Mountain, campers advise avoiding specific sites: "We stayed at site 24. The site had about a 5 inch difference shopping towards the road. I used rocker blocks maxed out (about 4 inches in height) and still was not level."

Cabin alternatives: RV hookups near activities. Adventures Unlimited Campground offers both cabin and RV options, described as "a great spot for tent campers, boondockers, or even rv's that need water and power." RV sites feature "water and electric hookups, and a dump station."

Off-season considerations: Lower crowds, weather challenges. A Fort Mountain visitor reports "We went in December and the weather was a little cool and damp but the views were great when the fog lifted. They're great scenic hikes in the park. Bathrooms were clean with very hot water."
