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. Even so close to all this you still feel far away from it all. The amenities include a saltwater pool/hot tub, gym, pickle ball court, playground, dog park, and paved golf cart paths. Coming soon to Talona Ridge RV Resort is the addition of a second pool and restaurant. The operations director at Talona Ridge actually stopped by our campsite to say hello (fellow Great Pyrenees owner) and let us know that the next week they were doing a soft opening of the restaurant. Darn—we just…

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.

Cloudland Canyon also offers an 18-hole disc golf course, fishing pond, trails for horseback riding, and a small nature museum. Many caves can be found throughout the park and…

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…

The parks recently built a new restroom between pavilion 1 and 2 and it…
