Amicalola Falls State Park-GA

Thinking about a Thanksgiving trip here this year...anyone been that could give any tips about the campground & area (especially for November weather), how about getting in & out with a fifth wheel?
  • There is a Steep (25% Grade) paved road up to the campground, a little nerve racking, just because of the steepness. I have been up it with a Travel Trailer, the road not super tight, just straight up for ¼-1/2 mile. The cool thing, the campground is way up overlooking the Mountains! Fifth Wheels get up it all the time.

    The park itself has hiking, the falls, and a lodge with restaurant.

    That time of year, hard to estimate weather, could be chilly\cold or could be nice fall like temps. Although being a little higher in the mountains, it will be cool to cold at night and mornings.

    Within 30 minute drive, you can get to either Ellijay or Dahlonega (both cool little Mtn towns nice to visit).

    North Georgia Mountains are great area for camping and outdoor adventures!

  • IIRC there is a short steep climb on the road up to the CG. We didn't actually camp there so I don't have any comments about the CG itself.
