Duckett Mill Campground – 73
08.30.19-09.02.19 Duckett Mill Campground is located in Gainesville, GA on Lake Lanier. It offers 97 sites with electric/water and 14 tent-only sites. The boat ramp is located right outside the campground gate, which makes me wonder if it gets more traffic than just campers. The beach is located on the right when you drive into the campground. It never seemed to be crowded, probably because most sites are located right on the water. When researching Duckett Mill, I did not find facebook posts about people’s favorite sites or anything beyond a google search that pulled up a blog similar to this one. The Crafty Camping Mom posted about their…

Fall Creek Falls State Park – TN
06.14.19-06.16.19 Fall Creek Falls State Park is located in Spencer, Tennessee towards the eastern side of Cumberland Plateau. Known for its 256-ft tall waterfall and swimming holes, this is one of the most popular state parks in Tennessee. The campground has a lot to offer beyond is 222 campsites and 30 cabins. Other amenities include an 18-hole golf course, nature center, canopy challenge course, pool, snack shack, and general store. The entire state park is made up of 26,000 acres and there is not much beyond that. Keep in mind that it is about a 30 minute drive to the closest gas station.

Georgia Glamping Company
05.17.19-05.19.19 Georgia Glamping Company was started by a North Georgia family for over a year ago. The company sets up large canvas tents with all of the amenities you could imagine. I found this company through instagram and knew that I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for my parents. The idea was that my whole family would reserve a couple spots next to each other for the weekend. Rebeka is the main contact for the company and she was great to work with. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and set us up to have a great weekend. Rebeka also helped my mom up to the…

Shady Grove Campground
05.17.19-05.19.19 Shady Grove Campground is located on the west side of Lake Lanier in Cumming, Georgia. Previously a Corps of Engineers campground, it is currently owned by Forsyth County Parks and Recreation. The campground is set up on a peninsula with a large number of the 96 total sites having waterfront access. Shady Grove Campground includes a large beach area, boat dock, and playground. We really enjoyed that the roads (and sites) were heavily shaded, making for better walks with the dogs. Shady Grove Campground is the third Lake Lanier campground we have visited since starting the adventures in our travel trailer. Bolding Mill Campground and Bald Ridge Campground are…

High Falls State Park
04.05.19-04.07.19 High Falls has been on my list of must see Georgia State Parks since we bought our camper. The High Falls Dam creates a scenic place for picnics, while further down the Towaliga River are some of the most breathtaking falls. Originally we were scheduled for site 89 in February, but due to a doctor visit and interview we rescheduled. Man am I glad we did! Site 89 on the website map makes it seem like it is riverside, private, with a path to the river. (Update: They have now fixed this on the website.) The paper map handed out at the park correctly has it placed across the…
