I just left the campground this morning. Had a great time.I rode up from Jackson Co,Ga. Thank you to the friendly staff and to the fella next to me with his family. He gave me a burger and a beer. :)

Beautiful campsite, you have to drive across a shallow stream, but it isn't treacherous. We rode the bikes on gravel roads all over the mountain. FUN

You wanna break from this busy life? This is your place! Quiet and beautiful. Go! But always clean your messes, kill your campfires when you’re done and go to the top to see the misty beauty this mountain offers.
