Looking at a possible trip up there in late July or early August. Looking for some experienced recommendations in the Blairville, Blue Ridge, Ellijay area. Read a few reviews on RvParkReviews but some of the reviews people post are more about poor WiFi or no WiFi at all, no laundry facilities. That stuff doesn’t bother me, what I want to know is how private are the sites, are there things to do in the area, is it kid friendly even though we are empty nesters. Are there views of the mountains, DW likes to pottery shop and I enjoy quaint little places to shop and eat and just relaxing at the campsite. Names of specific campgrounds would be nice so I can go to their websites and even look at reviews . Thanks in advance for he suggestions.

Beautiful area. We were there in Sept of 17 and were impressed.Morganton Point Recreation Area on Blue Ridge Lake (COE Park). WOW! what a blue lake. Looks like we were on the Florida Coast. If I recall wifi with our ATT hot spot was iffy at best. Sites were great and pretty level. Electric only, but did have a dump station handy. Simply beautiful and convenient the town of Blue Ridge. Which is a, what we call a yuppie town with lots of shops, restaurants, etc, but pleasant.Blairsville offers Vogel SP near by. The town it also nice and the park is super nice. From there we trekked thru Helen, GA and made a point to stop at Fred's Famous Peanuts road side stand just outside in Robertsville. Best fried peanuts ever!Enjoy your trip.

Fort Mountain State Park is about 20 miles west from Ellijay. Nice large park with lots off hiking/bike trails. Woodring Branch on Cartes Lake is a Corp park again 20 miles west of Ellijay.Been to two campgrounds over near Hiawassee, GA. Bald Mountain Camping Resort and River Bend Campground. Have been to each more than once. But this east of your target areagarmp wrote:.Morganton Point Recreation Area on Blue Ridge Lake (COE Park).

In my opinion Vogel State Park near Blairsville is what you are looking for. It makes 1 of our top 5 parks in the southeast. It does not have views of the mountains from the campground but many of the sites sit right on a creek. Sites are also spacious with many things to do within a short drive. There are some decent campground reviews/videos on YouTube about Vogel, check them out and see if this is what you are looking for.

Wood ring, Vogel, and fort mountain are All awesome suggestions. Vogel probably has more hiking trails close by, every site at woodring is on the water, fort mountain is definitely kid friendly, With a lot of hiking trails in the park.

We’re going to Fort Mountain next week and I’m getting conflicting info if my 39’ Momentum will fit in the CG without tagging a tree. Some say it’ll be snug, but be careful and it’ll fit, and others say don’t even try it. Can anyone with actual experience advise?I’d narrowed it down to Vogel or FM and the available pull thru sites at FM looked to have easier access.
