Cloudland Canyon State Park -36
10.18.24-10.20.24 Timed the peak colors too early by one weekend. Cloudland Canyon State Park is located in Rising Fawn, GA on the western side of Lookout Mountain. Known for both its waterfalls and large outlook, the park attracts huge crowds during the fall when the leaves change colors. The park includes all levels of hiking–easy to strenuous.

Fort Wilderness RV Resort – Premium
09.21.24-09.28.24 We have turned into a Disney family: a family that frequents Disney World, loves all things Disney, and gives all their money to a mouse.

We were able to book the reservation for Fort Wilderness RV Resort campsite separately from the park tickets. Later in the year Disney…

Tifton Overnight RV
09.20.24 & 09.28.24 Looking for an excellent and easy place to stay the night on the way in or out of Florida? We liked this park so much that we booked it again for the trip home. Tifton Overnight RV is located right off I-75 at exit 62. The park is automated in that you book your site online, receive a gate code, and use that to enter the campground. In the park you will NOT find a camp host, bath house, or vending machine. This is explained on the website–so I’m not sure why people are complaining about it in their google review. The park is fully enclosed with a large metal fence and the campsites are well…

Birthday Party at a Georgia State Park
Are you looking for a venue to host your next event? We want to share all the details on how we saved BIG time by having our kids’ birthdays at a Georgia State Park.
