Worth the trip

Even though this trip was riddled with rain, it was still a great trip. We stayed in campsite 12 at the tent and trailer camping #1. Our site was very spacious; plenty of room for our trailer and setup; mostly level. We walked other camp grounds in the park and most of those sites were equally spacious and mostly level.

The park has plenty of things for the family to do for the summer: swimming in the lake, mini golf, and playground. All were well maintained. These were closed at the time of our visit in October. Walking trails, bike trails, and activities were plenty, we were just limited due to rain.

Short drive to Dalton, GA., and Ellijay, GA. for other sightseeing. Beautiful overlook before you get to the entrance of the park on main road.

When they say beware of bears, they mean it. We did not personally see them, but our camping friends did see a momma and 3 cubs.

Bathrooms were the best we’ve seen. The hosts kept them very clean. Speaking of the hosts; they were all so very nice and inviting.

Only complaints (not big ones for us) are cell service was spotty at best. You might can walk around and receive a text but might not can respond to it. Or you might get lucky enough to walk to a spot and make a call. Another complaint was no sewage at any site. Not a deal breaker for us. We will definitely be back.
