Talona Ridge RV Resort – Hawk Valley
03.28.25-03.30.25 Gateway to the North Georgia Mountains. Talona Ridge RV Resort is located in East Ellijay, Georgia—right off highway 5. It is convenient to stores, restaurants, wineries, and hikes.

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. Fort Wilderness RV Resort and Campground is located on Disney property in Buena Vista, FL. We first camped on a premium meadow site in 2021.

Disney was running a deal on the reservations for the time period we booked, as the premium campsite was running $133 a night. We were able to book the reservation for Fort Wilderness RV Resort campsite separately from the park tickets. Later in the year Disney…
