We stayed in campsite 36 and had a wonderful time.
The only thing I would suggest is having a code at the gate to be able to enter and exit the campground.
Gates being locked nightly is inconvenient for the working folk.
Install a coded great and everything would be 10 stars!!!

Wonderful experience, great campground, delightful hosts. Sorry to see them closing for the season, there's a lot more good camping weather in Georgia! But I understand, they can't be all things to all people. Can't wait to go back in the spring, Won't You Join Me?

This is my favorite camping spot for many years. It never happened before, so I didn’t realize that the place doesn’t have any water drain and I had hard time to scoop out water from fire pit side -( it was heavy rain on 3rd day and water almost reatch out my tent.)
Can you make a water drain or flatten the surface again so we can enjoying camping with rain?

Stayed in site 47. Everything was great except the turn around at the end was too small. I do have a 42’ fifth wheel but I think the turn around should be made bigger. Very very tight turn
