Vogel State Park
02.16.24-02.19.24 Vogel State Park is located in Blairsville, Georgia, at the bottom of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. It’s ranked as one of the top parks in the state of Georgia as it’s surrounded by mountains, offers a well stocked lake, and waterfall. The 22-acre lake allows for non-motorized boats and paddle boat rentals are available. Next to the well stocked visitors center is a putt putt course and playground. Many miles of hiking trails can be found throughout the park. The campground recently went through upgrades and the campsite numbers have changed since our previous visits.

Bald Ridge Campground – 25
7.20.17-7.25.17 Taking advantage of my summer break, Heather set me up a day early at Bald Ridge Campground, on Lake Lanier. This was our second stay at Bald Ridge and we knew the campground was going to be one of our favorites in the summer. [See details and map of Bald Ridge Campground from my first post.] We particularly love swimming and kayaking in the lake. The water level at Lanier is low and a bit muddy, but you don’t really have to worry about rocks like other lakes in GA. This trip we reserved site 25, a pull through. Once we got there we were worried that it would be…

FDR State Park
7.13.17-7.16.17 FDR State Park is located southwest of Atlanta in Pine Mountain, GA. It is Georgia’s largest state park, over 9,000 acres and plenty of trails to hike. For a History/Nature lover like me, this park is a dream. The most popular spot is an overlook that President Franklin D. Roosevelt often used for a picnic, called Dowdell’s Knob. At the overlook a full size bronze sculpture can be found of FDR himself and a grill that FDR built. There are multiple historical sites at the park that FDR had the Civil Conservation Corps build during the Great Depression. The Liberty Bell Pool is a fan favorite, and overcrowded during…

Bald Ridge Campground
6.8.17-6.11.17 Bald Ridge is a Core of Engineers campground location on Lake Lanier in Cumming, GA. Another man-made lake in GA, it is known for its swimming, boating, and water park/resort. We have never been to the water park or resort, but have heard good things. Bald Ridge has turned into our go-to campground for the summer months. The reason for that being they allow more than two dogs! That’s not the only reason though, most of the campsites have an easy walk to the water. The water level on Lake Lanier is usually low, but the swimming is still great. Many options for sites are wooded and private. On…

McKinney Campground
5.22.17-5.30.17 SOLD! We purchased/ordered our camper from Northgate RV in Ringgold in April and picked it up the end of May. The long awaited day came to pick up the camper and Heather got the quick walk-thru with the dealership while I was still at work. To make sure that everything worked correctly and because we were SO excited, we took it straight to McKinney Campground in Acworth, GA. McKinney Campground is a Core of Engineers Campground on Lake Allatoona about ten minutes from our house. It is highly recommended by all and can even be found on some top ten lists for campgrounds in the SE. With 150 sites…
