General Coffee State Park
02.17.23-02.19-23 Checked off another state park on our way down to Florida.

Sleeping accommodations include four cottages, 50 campsites, four equestrian campsites, and ten dry camping sites.

Fort Mountain State Park – 15
10.14.22-10.16.22 Fort Mountain State Park is located in the Chattahoochee National Forest in North Georgia.

The State Park offers a fully stocked visitors center with plenty of ice and firewood. No cell service at this…
