VERY DANGEROUS!!! - Do not even think about this trail if you have young children with you! I hiked it with my 3 children ages 6-10 and to my surprise found ourselves on a skinny path with NO guardrail or fence! There is a cliff where one wrong move one can plummet down. I still have nightmares. I am a nature lover but strongly believe that section should be fenced off immediately before a tragedy.
Camping Fun!! - We really enjoyed camping at Elijah Clark!! Alot of room and everything was clean. I just wish you could reserve a camping spot ahead way ahead of time like many others. Oh well. Highly Recommended!!
Like a time machine - New Echota park is like a trip back in time. They have rebuilt many of the key buildings and the only existing building from the time of the removal is Reverend Worchesters. And when you go back up that trail then see his house you feel as if you went thru a doorway in time. You almost expect Rev. Worchester to welcome you. But even with the rebuilt houses and buildings you feel the history. No not ghosts you just feel a whole lot history happened there. I have Cherokee blood so this place has become a part of my heart. So if you are just surfing in go check it out and take a trip back in time.
favorite place to visit in GA - gorgeous at peak Great family vacation site - We had a great time with grandchildren. Everyone at park extremely nice and polite. We can not wait to go again. clean and friendly - Wonderful visit - Stayed Thanksgiving night. Beautiful site on the water with wonderful facilities. Camp host helped us the next morning with a flat and saved the day for us RV newbies. Thanks Skip!
Will there be any trees left? - I have wandered this park over the past five years and have enjoyed the tranquility that the trees offer. Now I am worried sick that this oasis is being destoyed by the agressive logging that is happening.
I see no reason for the destruction except perhaps for the money generated by the logging contract.
Our Ranger seems powerless to protect his park against this onslaught.
Can someone explain what is happening.
Loved everything except the campground d - We loved the park and Island. The campground has dirt roads and black dirt camping sites. Our dogs,RV, and linen were filthy, upon returning home. We loved the fishing pier, off shore fishing, shops, etc. The surrounding area has sparse choices for evening dining opportunities. Please pave the campground and upgrade the store, so that we will want to return! WOW!!! - Quiet, peaceful, friendly helpful staff...I could go on and on. We will definetly be returning.
Very exciting for the kids - Excellent place but too expensive. No Active Duty discounts for our servicemen and women. Great staff, family fiendly. Not very accessible, heavy glass doors, odd restroom doors. Nice gift shop. Pools were not filled but they had an additional gift shop in case you missed the first one. Great food in town. A Treasure - Having places like this to visit enriches our lives A little piece of heaven - Our cottage is spotless, fully equipped with a huge back yard where my husband is perfecting his golf game. Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend! WONDERFUL!!!! May 2011 - We rode 37 miles. The trails are delightful, wide, and great footing.
The cabin was comfortable and nice. The horse stalls are nice as well.
A very peaceful place. Also the river was great fun climbing the rocks and playing in the waterfall.
I like it so much I will be returning this fall. Tried to go - We tried to take my granddaughter fishing there today, the road is blocked!! How can a state park lake be blocked. Is it not public? Great Fishing, Boating, and Swimming - family fun - i live less than two miles away....i enjoyed it as a small child and now i am making memories with my boys for five dollars we are creating memories that will lastfor a life time...i have been coming for twenty five years and always whether it be the rangers or the ones collecting the parking fees they have always been very nice to my famiy and my friends Very well maintained - ants!! - I stayed here April 18 for 3 nights. The park was very nice and clean but the ants were terrible. My RV and my daughters camper were full of ants before we left. The park needs to spray or something to solve this problem. Great Scenery - My husband and I love coming to Cloudland Canyon State Park for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful scenery and trails. If you need something else to do, Chattanooga is not far away, or Fort Payne where you can visit the Alabama Museum. Very Nice Park - The Park has a nice entrance, the Sites are well kept and large for privacy, we did not use public restrooms frequestly, but they were well kept. The lake and trails were nice. We will definately be coming back. I cannot wait to camp in this place - The tall trees with the spanish moss dripping of the branches, lots of room between campsites, and I like the boat ramp and dock. A beautiful park, tall trees. - Spanish moss dripping off the branches, lots of room between campsites, quiet, and a great dock and boat ramp. - My first visit there,very nice ,relaxing time. I recomend this park to everyone. Our favorite place to camp! - My family, extended family and friends have been camping here for over 35 years and have seen many improvements. We love it just the way it is, dirt, leaves, trees and all! The staff is always very kind and accommodating. It is very accessible to the pier, beach and all the great bike trails. Save us a spot please! great horse park - Love this park and the great horse trails! Trails are moderate - not too easy not too difficult and for the most part very well marked with the exception of some reroutes. Nice, large camping spaces and horse stalls. Beautiful Park - It is a beautiful park, Great hiking trails Highly recommended. Loved it This is a great park, roomy campsites. - Nice layout of park, most campsites can catch the sun all day. What a great find! - We wanted to find a fun park not too far from home and had a great day here. We picnicked by the water, visited the playground, and walked on the rocks out in the water. Our boys are just 4 and 1 now so we will definitely be making return visits to do the paddle boats and canoes and slide on the rocks in the water as others were doing that day and plan to camp here at some point as well. Quit - Close to home,beautiful,peaceful wish u could use golf cart. Awesome - What a beautiful place! absolutley amazing - I spent the weekend there with my life partner Wesley, he and I would swim in the beautiful waters, cuddle under the stars, and eat the best smoked ribs from this cute old man who sold them to us. If you have an amazingly beautiful life partner like I do, spend time with him here. I love you Wesley R! I love you too high falls! No one handling walk in customers - Went to the Stephan Foster State park today 2/2/11. Wanted to do a boat ride. Went in the east entrance thru Fargo,GA. They had a sign, no boat rides- low water on the registration building bulletin Board outside the door and on the counter inside. Went inside (twice) could hear voices in the back but could not get anyone to come to front counter. Left disapointed. Did see a 3ft gator,turtle and a white crane on the 25-30 mile drive to the registration building but was very disapointed about no boat ride and no one to at least talk to Amazing - Went here on a stormy day, and even tho it was freezing and wet the entire time, it was breath taking, anyone who is acutely interested in history will love this place!! Beautiful, well kept, friendly staff - My first visit there and found it to be a beautiful park. I would recommend this park to everyone. favorites - one of the best places out of the way very friendly I have went up the past 5 years in the cabins and in the campsite very well kept up and just really nice and relaxing. - This is a nice secluded place for lovers and family. Must bring everything u need with you. It is a drive from the big city. If u like country quiet peacefulness this is the place for u. They were doing some remolding when I was there last. I just hope that have up graded all the toilets and doors. That is the only thing I had a problem with. Other than that I was pleased. So so Quite, my family loves it - We stay in one of the cabins they have, and we have been visiting the park since the early 90;s on picnic;s we now have grandchildren and they love the park and hiking trails and lets not forget the cookouts at night the rangers are so very kind. Home Away From Home - An exceptional Park. The Staff and especially Judy Lee and Tracy Yearty
are very professional,friendly and
always available. Best Kept Secret ! - Visited twice summer of 2010. Very nice, quiet and relaxing. Look forward to visiting again. Beautiful man-made wonder - My boyfriend Augustus and I are traveling the United States and visited Providence Canyon State Park! Definitely beautiful, and definitely interesting. Check out my blog about our visit: http://andreainwanderland.blogspot.com/2010/09/providence-canyons-ga.html . Be sure to subscribe and please pass the link on!
Andrea tallulah falls - It was great, ive never seen something so beautiful. Absolutely beautiful park - We loved this park! The sites are huge and even though the park was full it never felt that way at all! We spent a lot of time on the trails and at the nature center. John that works there took an increadible amount of time with my children explaining all the animals and reptiles and letting them see each one! They wanted to go and visit the snakes there everyday of our stay. I would highly recommend this park to anyone looking to camp in Savannah. Nice Place - Many miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, decent campground area, small lake for canoeing and fishing. Nice place - Sites are nice, A little close to the water for my liking but well kept and clean. Will never stay in georgia park again - Pulled in late in a rain storm, 9:00 pm.
The park has a phone for late arrivals.
This was the highlight of my stay. Found a site and went to sleep.
I left at 6:30 am the next morning after
washing my face.
Called to pay and that stay cost $30.00
$25 for site and $5 for car tax.
Will pass through georgia in the future.
Very dissapointed
my favorite spot - My family has used the campground at least once a year for six years. The hiking trails are great. The bath houses are clean and have plenty of hot water. The staff is always helpful and nice. The scenery and camping spots are fabulous. We have used the cabins once that was also awesome! Our own front yard. - We love taking the children there for the playgrounds, splash pad and activities that are often planned. The kids all love the idea that they might see an alligator. I often take the kids there for pictures as it is so beautiful with the moss hanging from the trees. I have seen deer, rabbits, hawks, snakes and even a few alligators while visiting. It is also a great place for the children to learn about and grow to love nature because there is always something to see there. I hope many more generations will be able to enjoy the park. Favorite park - We stayed at Victoria Bryant State Park several weeks ago. I am in the process of making arrangements to stay again for Labor Day. Very convenient location. The cleanest and best maintained park we have ever stayed. Not one complaint from us. We will continue to call this our favorite park. Great golf! - one of our favorite!! - We have stayed at several parks and this is our favorite. It is the cleanest and offers the most. Very relaxing and has beautiful scenery. St.Mary's is a beautiful town to visit, and Fernandina is close by to visit. Weekend get away - We camped in this park Aug. of 2009, and had the best time.The camp site were clean accessible,quiet, and the people extremely friendly.The whole place in general was breath taking.Looking forward to coming back and staying a little bit longer. great all around park - lots to do, great place to take kids. lake with swimming and paddle boat rental. Very easy trail around lake and many other trails available. Usually some planned ranger activities available. clean restrooms and showers. been there several times loved the history! - Awesome Time - Pretty sweet....Loved it! one of my favorite parks - I love camping down at the park. It is very clean, and well maintained. I have recommended the park to several people. The host are always very helpful, and are very nice . I have as of yet to meet a volunteer or employee of the park with a bad attitude. I have been camping at the park now for two years. Very Clean and easy access off I-75 - We camped in a fifth wheel and the sites were level, wide, and easy to get into. Lots of pull-throughs. We will visit here again. We stayed in May 2010 Great park - Very relaxing. Enjoyed the fishing and wildlife around the park. a beautiful park - it is a restful place to go and get away from the stress of life and relax.i can not wait to go back - Great and affordable! - Fort Yargo has always been a favorite place for our family. The swimming area is great! We also love the privacy of the camping sites. If you want to just kick back and fish you can do that to. Either directly on the lake with your own bass boat or rent one of theres. You can also fish from most campsites. Come check it out! great fishing spot - we have been visiting the park for about 4 weeks.We live in Chatt.Tenn. about and hours drive.Very clean and well preserved . Lodge is very nice - We stayed for 2 night at the Lodge, rooms were nice, scene was very woodsy (nice to be in nature) and their restaurant was very good. Servers were Execelent! Full buffet for dinner, nice breakfast with waffles, fruit and cereal. Good coffee! Enjoyed the paved trails very much. Our group used the meeting room in the evenings - we really enjoyed our stay. My favorite park, lake front is great - It is quiet, clean, on the lake, friendly staff Awesome! - This is one of our favorites! Beautiful along the river and great rocks to climb. You will love it!. great fishing - Great fishing and wildlife. You could live in the cabins 24/7. Small rooms are overpriced but I understand they are being remodeled. Tracy and Judy are first class and accomodating. I go annually, since they opened. Next week again. Excellent for families! - Our family has been using Mistletoe Park for many years for camping and family reunions. This is an excellent place. Very clean and nice. A place for everyone!! Peaceful and Quiet - My Mother and I went to visit the park in 2008. It was a pleasure to visit, even if it was a short one. The cabin was in very good shape, they had a nice picnic pavilion prepared. The historic markers are in good order, and it is kept clean. (There is a one hole outhouse for necessities. So either do your business before or bear with it.) Beautiful place - My friend and I camped at the park in October 09 and it was great. The leaves were beautiful and the park was awesome. Clean, very scenic and the people there were very nice. We will definitely be back. A beautiful park....one of the best - My wife and I stopped by in mid-December on our way from Washington, D.C. to Louisiana(Home). Although we had never camped AH Stephens Park. This was indeed a welcome stop. Since it was so late in the year, there were only a few campers. We plan to visit this park a few days in October while enroute to Boone, N.C. The park host was extremely professional and helpful. Keep up the good work!! Outstanding except for campground - This campground has one of the finest sites in the USA. However, in the nine years we have been coming here there have been no improvements to a dirty and dusty campground. The rest of the island is why we come back. A Great place to Trail Ride on Horseback - There are good primitive Trailheads & Camping sites. With Beautiful trails that I have been on during the past 15 years. One of the Best in Georgia - We have camped all over Georgia and beyond and keep coming back to Fort Yargo. Very nice, large, and private camp sites. A simply gorge-ous Park!!! - Our family stopped here for a picnic and were pleasantly surprised! It was breathtaking... We will be coming back! Great Park! We love it and the Staff. - Wonderful nature walks, great facilities, water and wild life. The Staff is always very professional, the area is clean and RBSP is probably our favorite in GA. 
- Loved it! - Great Park! - My husband and I are traveling through Georgia and thought we would stay in a State Park. We selected the High Falls State Park located in Jackson, GA. The campground cost was $25.00 for one night stay.
We found a campsite and decided to check out the area. We were very disappointed that two out of the three restrooms/showers had pad locks on them. The only bath house open was dirty and in need of repair. The cost to stay at a private campground would be an additional $5.00 but all that we have stayed thus far have been really clean restrooms/showers, have cable TV and internet.
We were really disappointed with our findings and wanted to share them with you. It does not really speak well for the state run campgrounds. Nancy Hart On the Scene - Audrey Hardin, member of the Stephen Heard Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, portrays the role of local heroine Nancy Hart at this small state park. Many out of town groups as well as groups of local school children have come to hear the stories and visit the replica cabin of Nancy Hart. Audrey brings her own props to add authenticity to the cabin and this historical time. Their is a covered picnic area. This park is a hidden gem! Vary nice, We enjoyed it. - perfect place to party - Best place to party with your freinds. There is nobody around to crash your party
and you can get away with just about anything! A BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL PLACE - WENT HORSEBACK RIDING N 2007.TRAILS WAS VERY EASY 4 A BEGINNER RIDER.VIEW WAS BEAUTIFUL.LOVED THE BRIDGE N THE WATER UNDER BRIDGE WAS NICE.WHOLE FAMILY LOVED THE PARK.WOULD RETURN AS SOON AS I COULD! Great place to decompress - Have stayed several times in the cabins, both small groups and larger. Very nice & clean facilities. Helpful staff Was very beautiful - Absolutley beautiful, not much to do other than hike, boat, fish, just visit nature, one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. However its 5 miles from a very small store, if you use it, bring it! MGM Very Quiet - This is a nice spot for a family reunion or for a picnic. The kids enjoyed learning about the Native American culture. Mountain Paradise - Beautiful campsites, ours had a mountain spring behind us, well-kept & maintained; friendly staff and lots of fun to be had in the area... Breathtaking - This is a beautiful park. The trails are a site to see. It always amazes me how this much beauty can be so near such a busy city like Atlanta. It is a must see. Deer at your doorstep - This has to be the best kept secret! The sites were so nice - fire pits, clean bathrooms with showers, great hosts, and deer came right up in the woods behind our campsite. I would highly recommend this campground. It was well worth the 16 mile drive from Ruby Falls. Even the drive up was beautiful! (FYI - We camped in a tent) The Greatest Park In Ga. - We love this park please lets help keep it going. A real treasure, as its name implies - One of the most precious public domains in all of the US! Undisturbed, pristine and balmy.
The favorite of all creatures...
Convenient to Many Attractions - We enjoyed camping here, although the campground is not very favorable to big rigs unless you reserve one of the pull thru sites upfront. Beautiful lake! Convenient to Atlanta although you can find many musuems and historical sites closer by in Cartersville. Very nice small town vibe in the downtown area. Historical Gem - Just spent the weekend camping here. Very beautiful park, rich in history. Nice family fun. Clean and quiet campground. Our Favorite Adventure - This park is an adventure any way you go. You can go up to the peaks, or just walk/bike on a paved trail but best of all is the adventure down to the lake. Actually, maybe I should not even tell you about it, because it is too good! Well kept historic park - My husband and I went tent camping with our dogs recently at Indian Springs. The park was well maintained with natural beauty. There was a friendly, low-key atomosphere. The bathrooms and other facilities were clean and well-kept. The state park system is a great benefit to Georgia residents. Thank you! Great Surprise! - We came to the park from Athens looking for the covered bridge. We were so pleasantly surprised by the beautiful park and the access to good family fun. We will become regulars. NICE - Went in Feb.2009. Friendly and clean. A few spots for 40ft, Mostly mid size. Golf course nicely kept. Will return. Great Park - Camped here 4 nights in 2008. Had a great time. Park was nice and clean bath houses. Really enjoyed the lake and the beach. Entrance is very pretty. Will definitely camp here again Great park - I had so much fun here. There is so much to do in this area. The beach was alot of fun. They have great interpretive programs. The staff were very helpful and informative. The view is absolutely beautiful. If you like the Mountains - Great park. Clean bath houses. Level sites. Beautiful campground. Even camped during the rain and had a great time. A park I enjoy camping at - I love camping here. The only thing I have against this park is that they have put on those ugly harnesses on the deer in the park. It takes away from the beauty of them.
Before they had the deer kill, you could always count on seeing plenty of deer around. NOT ANYMORE!!! A state park in Indiana had the same practice in the deer kill but not to the extreme as Red Top.
Redtop is still a beautiful park to camp at. A Family Reunion Retreat - Home away from home - We were looking for a place to camp, that had great fishing. We got that and more. The facility was very clean. We will be staying again in the near future favorite vacation spot - clean and beautiful Bird Photography - In the spring Harris Neck is a bird photographers dream. Lots of waders at the rookery and constantly flying overhead. Plenty of migratory warblers and other small birds as well. An extremely enjoyable place - Our family recently spent the weekend camping there and we had an enjoyable and relaxing time, we will return!! MUST SEE!!!!!!! - GREAT PLACE FOR THE FAMILY. IF YOU LIKE THE QUIET'STAY BY THE LAKE, BUT IF YOU ARE MORE OF AN ADVENTURER YOU MUST SEE THE RIVER SIDE OF THIS PARK!!!!!! One of our favorite parks - The cottages are wonderfully furnished. The park is a natural haven for all kinds of animals. Beautiful. Lots of nice restaurants locally. Tough Hiking - My girl friend & I Camp at the Park last labor weekend. We hiked the Byron Herbert Reese Nature. That trail wss great. I hike the Bear Hair Trail by my self. That was one tough 4 mile hike, but well worth the effort. Both Trails had plenty of nature to offer. Best advice Wear a pair of GOOD, COMFORTABLE hiking boots. One of my favorite state parks - I have been to Laurel Walker State Park many, many times. This is one of my favorite parks and I tell everyone to go. Nice and quite and beautiful view of lake. Great place to just kick back and enjoy - Only park in Georgia that we visit. Beautiful in fall or summer. We have always enjoyed our stay. One of my favorite camping parks in Ga. - The park is well attended and is a lovely place to camp in the primitive camping. The park is so beautiful and gracious. The attendants are wonderful and knowledgeable. I really like Jackie Clay. She is great a person to know. my favorite ga state part - particularly beautiful in the fall. Our family tries to go at least once or twice a year. Well worth the trip. wonderful place - Family has visited several times customer service is great come prepared for ants the lake is wonderful scenery is awesome great place to relax - Made up of the same granite formation that gave us Stone mountain this is a secluded spot. It is just nature.It has not been ruined like Stone Mountain has been by the Dollywood people.Stone mountain was so nice when I moved here in 1979.Now its just a dirty, tourist spot run by who knows who.
So,for just a nice hike to hear the wind and animals, check it out. Great Hiking and History - Sweetwater Creek State Park has a little bit of everything. A fun, rugged trail along the rapids of Sweetwater Creek, Civil War Era ruins, Native American history, a reservoir for canoeing, and a Visitor Center that was the first Platinum Leed Certified builing in the Southeast. Be sure to visit their wonderful educational exhibits. Great place for family hikes - The best - Good family fun - A good place to bring the family. Fishing, walking trail, playground and Putt putt golf. Great pic nic area. In the summer you can rent paddle boats and canooes.
All for a really small fee. Autumn Leaves were in full color - 30 Oct 08 - 2 Nov 08-- The autumn leaves were in full color, most notable early morning and late afternoon. Overlooks were breath taking. As a bonus the view of the stars from 2,800 FT at 2:30-4:30 AM was fantastic! Had a great weekend!!!! Favorite Park - Great lake for boating, fishing, and canoeing. Well maintained park and nature trails. The park staff, hosts and volunteers are outstanding. Always friendly and helpful. Peaceful - You can bike or roller blade this pretty easily. The old landing strip is kinda rough and has cactus. if you hike you can see cool ruins of a kiln, a fountain and an old pool. Lots of birds and armidillos too. Great golf course - A Very Pleasant Surprise - We were looking for a convenient place to park our RV for a few days near Athens GA to attend a football game and conduct some business at the University. The park is beautiful and well-maintained and has excellent RV sites with water and electric hookups. Also it is conveniently located near the small towns of Franklin Springs and Royston. The adjacent golf course is beautiful also. a favorite park to go to - close to many places to go see,nice large clean camp sites,great fishing,enjoy the train ride plenty of bike riding. very nice state park - the family and i had a wondeful time...great family fun!! Great Hiking for All Levels - Lots of great trails, from easy to difficult. Decently maintained dirt roads. No facilities - great wilderness camping.
I do not fish, but there are several areas I have heard are good..but are usually occupied on weekends. Running - Nice place to run, one mile track around lake. A beautiful park - This park is one of the best kept secrets. It was clean the hosts were friendly and the view of the valley was spectacular. Also, fairly close to Chattanooga. our favorit park for sure - great beach, just need a few full hookups we like to stay a week or more - This was one of the best campgrounds that I have visited in my life. I have traveled all over the world and this has been definitly one of the best places we have tented. Amazing waterfall that you can actually touch and so may beautiful activities that you can experience. I would recomend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice and quiet place to just sit back and relax the loving nature. There are other places you can stay at such as the log if you are not the type to tent. One of our favorite places to camp - We have camped at Elijah Clark Park several times, and find it to be a great place for the kids to fish and swim. The campsites are very clean and accessible to our 35ft motorhome. We plan to camp there many more times. Looking forward to camping there this fall. relaxing in the shade - Black rock mountain state park is a nice getawy from the heat. It is typically 20 degrees cooler than the middle georgia area. It was 75 degrees @ 2:30 pm on 7/26/08. The park is on top of a mountain and has a 2 mile steep climb to get there. The road is steep with curves so just take your time. The park is very clean with showers. The sites have elec and water. The sites are fairly close together. There are several lookout points with benches. It is a nice place to go to get away from the heat and just relax. The town is a few miles away with anything you may have forgotten. Plenty of resturants and a walmart. Very nice park - Nice park only six miles from my house; nice beach; great, long walking or bike trail around lake; only problem: two-night minimum stay on weekends (but I think that is rule for all Georgia parks - too bad) Wonderful park. - Nice wooded park, good pull-throughs for RVs. Quiet, good location. Will return in early 2009. Thanks Georgia for such great parks. I have found none better anywhere. Great golf course. - This is a nice park in a nice location and the golf course is great and affordable. The RV facilities are nice as well. Look forward to returning soon. A favorite park for us. - Nice location. Pretty sights, good campground. great place to camp - Have never heard of Blitch park - I am 54 and from Brooklet
Ga and have never here of Blitch Park, could you give me more details on this park. Beautiful Explination of park - This is very wonderful and anice place to visit. I would like to visit this park someday. One of Best State Parks in GA! - If you like camping in the mountains, Fort Mountain State Park is one of the best destinations in GA. Nice amenities, beautiful scenery, putt-putt, lake swimming and fishing, hiking to falls, historical site at top of mountain, extreme overlooks. Many nice and large campsites, nice cabins, close to city of Chatsworth for supplies. Highly recommended! This and Vogel are the premier mountain destinations in GA! A great Georgia asset - A great place to experience, it is only an hour and a half north of Atlanta.
Anyone would enjoy this beautiful state park. It is well kept, yet not overly touristy. Accessible to young or old, families, couples or singles - this is a park not to miss.
The falls are a wonderful asset and an obvious drawing point. It is quite a hike from the parking lot. Take your time and enjoy the pathway as you wind yourway up the side of the mountain. (Perhaps the hike is one way of making us slow down to enjoy Mother Nature.)
There are many other amenities which makes this park one a destination by choice. The lodge, above the upper falls, is a great place to stay, have a business retreat, meeting, dinner or drink, or simply look over the mountain. Several cabins are available for reservation, and various picnic sites are scattered throughout the park.
I can see this park being busy on weekend, particularly on holidays. I would suggest taking a day in the middle of the week, to have a more secluded visit. Our First Family Camping Experience - Our family of 2 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs found our new outdoor home at this wonderful park. With clean facilities, wide camping lots and friendly, informed hosts, we had a great time while boating, hiking, fishing and going to the beach. It was inexpensive for 2 days and well worth it! Our home park - Less than 25 miles form our home we take our 5th wheel regularly for R&R. Small 32 site campground with paved roads and nice sites. Plenty to do locally with an excellent flea market (Bowden Junction) Personable Staff. great place to visit in summer - it s fun 4 the whole family Great Picture of Great Park - My favorite park! - This park has everything, and 2 main huge hiking trails (which you can bring your dogs too!) Beautiful trees, birds, and small animals! Absolutely breathtaking! Best park to see lots of Animals! - My first time I saw 9 Alligators (including babies!) 7 Egrets, 2 Pelicans, several Swallows, 1 Cardinal, & a HUGE hawk. Highly Recommend it! its a great experience to be there - one of my favorite parks - I love this park, this is the first place my family camped at and we have been camping since me and my sister were born.
