Great activities for scouts, lots of hiking trails, great orienteering opportunities both with map and compass or with GPS using the park app. This was anniversary weekend, so the educational programs were excellent. Even though it was hot and end up storming, this was a great educational opportunity for my Boy Scouts.

Great place of our Boy Scout Troop to camp. Bathrooms were clean and the sites were well maintained. We did the caravan tour with a NPS Ranger and the boys really enjoyed that. A lot of great information on the battle was given. All in all it was a great time and we will be back for sure.

Thanks from Troop 303 in Dahlonega, GA

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
