Georgia mountains

I'd like recommendations from those of you who have been to SPs or private campgrounds in the Georgia mountains. FHU are preferred but not a deal killer. We have a 30 ft TT, DW enjoys pottery shopping and going to unique shops that you wouldn't find in a mall. We are thinking of summer of 2016 to make this trip, I just enjoy being outside and would love cooler temps than the ones we have in Florida during the summer. Thanks for all the help.

    Vogel State Park

    Great campground nestled in the Mountains, reminds of the Smokey Mountains, nice stream, wooded, lake, etc......

    Nice scenic drive to Helen and/or Dahlinghea (both small shops, interesting things to see)

    Unicoi

    Nice wooded campground.

    Close to Helen.


    Stone Mountain in Atlanta, nice park -not state park- a little more $$$ and summers really hot, north GA a little more reprive in heat, and true mountains.

    X2 - Unicoi is our favorite in north Georgia. Interesting things to see in the area and nice hikes/natural resources.

    Brilliant minds think alike. Was thinking Stone Mountain also.
    See if you can get the main loop at the office. Best sites in the park.
  • Might not be far enough North in the dead of summer but I might be trying out Stone Mountain here in a few weeks (Near Atlanta).
