Would like to go to North Georgia mountains this Fall, somewhere near Helen or Cleveland.Is there any good way to get in and out of the area? Coming South on 81 and would appreciate advice on where to...

If you mean I-81, I suggest 81 south to Johnson City then head toward Asheville NC (19/23). From Asheville, take I-40 west to the Waynesville exit (may be 27 but not sure) This will be US-19/23/7 toward Cherokee. At the Sylva (area) look for US441 south toward Franklin. Use the Franklin by-pass, this will still be 441. Follow that south to Clayton Georgia. From Clayton you can head to any number of small and delightful N Georgia mtn towns with some pretty neat CGs.
We like River Vista in Dillard (for convenience) when in that area. You could go over the mtn to Hiawassee (easy trip) to River Bend CG or maybe Moccasin Creek SP on Lake Burton near there. Georgia Mountains Fairgrounds and RV park is also in Hiawassee on Lake Chatuge. Just Google for RV parks in the area.
If you want to go thru Atlanta, you can go to Gainesville, Ga on US 23 and go south on I-985 to I-85.
I might avoid the hassle and stay on US 441 through Commerce, Athens, Madison, Eatonton to Macon and hit I-75 there. Better drive IMHO with a lot less traffic, better scenery and less frustration
This was sorta wordy, but I hope it helped ;)
