    Handicap Shower stall- you can't see the large bench seat on the opposite wall.
    Norbert C.

    Great campgrounds- the spots are Spacious you are not on top of each other and many lots have water, electricity. Although we didn't use it it looks like they do have sewer to drop your grey and black water. The restrooms are beautiful, with 4 stalls 2 private showers and 1 handicap shower stall. All the restrooms are heated in the winter- it really is a nice set up. I saw some low reviews but that was before this place was remodeled.

    Beautiful Blue Ridge Lake in Georgia. This was my view while waiting for totality #Eclipse2017.

    We found this park by pleasant accident while looking for a good spot to view the total solar eclipse. As part of the Chattahoochee National Forest, this recreation area is situated on Blue Ridge Lake, and the beach offers gorgeous mountain & forest views. The bathrooms here are well-stocked, although NOT air-conditioned. Separate dressing rooms are available in the same building as well. The small store rents kayaks & paddleboards for half & full days, plus sells bags of ice ($3 for 10lbs), cold beverages & souvenirs. Daily entry is $5 and parking is plentiful! I also saw a separate parking area for camping, but I'm not sure of those fees. The public areas were clean & well-maintained, yet very woodsy. This was a fantastic place to spend an afternoon wading in the lake and sunning in the sand!

    Five stars all around for our experience with OAR. My husband wanted to go whitewater rafting on…read morethe Ocoee for his birthday this year, and after a quick search through Yelp and beyond, OAR is one of the best rated rafting companies in the area. We booked the Middle River trip, which totals about 3 hours and includes 1.5 hours on the river itself. I booked our trip a couple of weeks in advance online, and I'm glad I did, because they sold out for the day! It was $65 per person, which feels like a fair price for the experience. They recommend arriving 30 minutes early, which will give you plenty of time to get checked in and get your party situated. Definitely bring sunscreen and a plastic water bottle, along with the proper water shoes and attire. You're instructed to leave everything in your car, and then drop your keys off with the front desk staff for pick-up after your rafting trip. The safety briefing started right on time, and basically consists of what to do if you end up going overboard. It's not meant to be scary, and most of it is self-intuitive. There were about 60 people in our group, and the majority of rafts held 6 people. After the safety talk was over, everyone gets their own lifejacket, oar, and helmet. Then you and the rest of your crew hops on a school bus, which will take you to the drop-off site about 20 minutes away. This is where we met our rafting guide, Cleveland, and after a quick demo on paddling and how to sit in the raft, we were off on our adventure! Our time on the water was so much fun, and I want to shout out how incredible Cleveland was from the beginning to the end. He was an awesome mix of friendly, engaging, and informative, which made our trip all the more memorable! As a group of two, we were paired with two other random couples to fill out our raft, which was a great way to meet some new people. Overall this was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to do it again soon. We'll definitely be booking the full river trip next time!

    My friends and I came from out of state, this was most of our group's first time rafting and it was…read morean incredible introduction. Everyone was friendly and informative, the guides made sure you had fun but stayed safe. I would absolutely go again anytime, such a great time and shout out to our guide Hugh, he was great fun and is clearly passionate about rafting and outdoor adventure. Thanks for an awesome time!!

    My group of six was here for the weekend and we decided to book the zip line and rafting combo…read more The zip line portion was fun. We had fantastic guides - kitten kitty cat and Cierra. They were both so much fun and you can tell they truly love what they do. I've done several zip line courses in the past and this was one nice because we didn't have to do a lot of hiking; all the starts were close together so there wasn't a lot of waiting in between zips. The rafting portion was also very fun. Holden was our guide and he was so nice and knowledgeable. It was very interesting learning about the different rapids names and how they were named that. He let us decide how adventurous we wanted to be and didn't let any of us fall out the boat. Now, the rafting was cold. COLD. That's our fault for booking at the end of September. We were provided with dry tops that went over our clothes and those were nice. I wore water shoes and I'm glad I did. After the rafting you go back to the main center and there's changing rooms that also have hot showers connected to them. So it's worth bringing some body wash and a nice warm change of clothes for when you're done. They also took some cool pictures, we didn't purchase them but we should have !

    Cierra was a great guide, keeping everything exciting and fun, always asking if we wanted high…read moreoctane adrenaline fueled jumps, hits and falls. Loved it! The Ocoee River is fantastic!!

    We were seeking adventure and had so many options for whitewater rafting. We decided on this…read moreparticular company for a couple of reasons 1. We could fit 4 in a raft 2. It had a coupon for $12 off!! We called on Tuesday night about 7:45 (they closed at 9) and talked to Teresa who was able to schedule our foursome for a trip at 2:00 on Wednesday. She was so helpful and gave us some tips for travel to Hartford. Once we got there we checked in with a very competent and thorough young lady. We took a short bus ride to the "put in" point. On the 10 minute ride some of the guides performed fun comedic routines which kept us from thinking about how hot we were on a bus with no AC ( except open windows), decked out in life jackets and helmets while holding our paddles upright. :-) We got paired with a river rafting guide named Brantley. He gave us great paddling instructions before we even entered the raft. Since we had all been river rafting before, he explained that the trick to having a more exciting trip is to synchronize your paddle strokes. We had a great time with Brantley. We truly appreciate his concern for our "fun factor" and especially our safe trip down the river.

Guides are friendly and fun all while giving the sense of trust that they are looking out for your safety. Our group was 4 parents in one raft and 5 young adults in another (each raft can hold 6). Be sure to tell your guide you want to "surf the rapids".
