Part of why my family enjoys camping is the kind, friendly people we always seem to meet there. My…read morefirst impression at this KOA told me this place is different. I was in the area for work and had a few minutes to drive through and get a "feel" for the property. I noticed an unoccupied lodge and got out to peek in the window. As I was returning to my car an older gentleman drove up on a go cart. Me: Good Morning Him: What are you doing here? (gruff tone throughout) Me: Had a few minutes, wanted to take a quick peek around. Him: You need to go register at the office. Me: Sorry, I just.....(interupted) Him: You can't be on the property until you have registered at the office. If you are going to camp you need to go to the office. Me: Again sir, sorry, I think I have seen what I needed to see. (as I am getting in my car) This happened around 11:45am on a Sunday. Maybe everyone in the office was as nice as they could be. Maybe this man had just had to run off some trouble maker. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Whatever the case is, I will not give them another chance. There are probably a dozen other choices within 10 miles of this KOA. I will be trying one of those instead.

Upon…read morearrival, after hours of driving in bumper to bumper traffic, I was greeted with an aggressive and snide attitude by Kathy. My husband had already set up our camper trailer and was waiting on me and my 2 young daughters. Kathy refused to let me pull up to greet my husband and I was told quite nastily that I was not allowed to park my very small car next to our camper, not even to unload. I have never been treated so RUDELY by someone I just met. I do not recommend anyone stay at this KOA. I would leave right now if it weren't for my kids.

YEs, sinking (from a dry rot plug) ugghhh we were quickly given the best advice and the next day David and his crew , helped us 100%, they were patient and full of knowledge. They were able to safely get out our boat with no damage thank you to the big water crew workers and let me just add - whoever is running junior cash -is doing a great job y'all handled yourself well in the blackout- i would recommend both places keep up the good work thank you

Okay, about the actual campground. When we first pulled in, we were disappointed to read a sign that said, "no lake access". We didn't book for that intention, but with 'Lake Hartwell" in the campground name, we thought we might have access. Be aware. There are two halves to the campground. When you pull in, the half on the left has tent sites and sites for smaller rigs, along with full-timers. The roads there were definitely more rugged. The half on the right is definitely prepared for larger rigs; this is where we stayed. Most sites are level; all have grass; and there's a variety of full hook up, water/elec, and nothing. Bring leveling blocks just in case you need them. Pool on site; laundry on site and all machines worked. The entire campsite is well shaded, which is amazing, especially in August sun/heat. With that said, bring a broom or blower to remove all the pine cones and needles from your roof, slides and awnings. And if you hear something slamming into your roof like an asteroid or meteor, no worries. It's a pine cone from 60' up. For real, our dog thought the siege had started the first time one hit. All in all, nice campground very close to Lake Hartwell. One last thing: only 1 vehicle/site. Since we had two, I parked in the parking area - no problem.

Tallulah Gorge State Park is a 2,689-acre Georgia state park adjacent to Tallulah Falls, Georgia,…read morealong the county line between Rabun and Habersham Counties. The park surrounds Tallulah Gorge, a 1,000-foot deep gorge formed by the action of the Tallulah River, which runs along the floor of the gorge. Service options here are picnic tables available, has barbecue grill and it's dogs friendly. One of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern U.S., Tallulah Gorge is two miles long and nearly 1,000 feet deep. Visitors can hike rim trails to several overlooks, or they can obtain a permit to hike to the gorge floor (100 per day, not available during water releases). A suspension bridge sways 80 feet above the rocky bottom, providing spectacular views of the river and waterfalls. $5 parking fee or an Annual ParkPass is required for each vehicle. The park offers a range of trails, from easy rim walks to the more challenging trek down into the gorge floor. Permits are required for gorge floor access, but the effort is well worth it as you can get up close to the waterfalls, including the famous Hurricane Falls. Approximately 2 miles, round-trip Mulched with metal stairs, Rated difficult. This trail has a total of 1,099 stairs (including staircase to gorge floor). Please do not attempt this trail if you have any known health condition. The North and South Rim Trails consist of 3 miles round- trip which will take approximately 2 hours to hike. It is a mulched trail with exposed roots that is a leisurely walk. From the Interpretive Center there is a recycled rubber tire trail that accesses Overlooks 2 and 3. Overall had a great experience.

We were greeted when we arrived with our registration packet at the entrance, which made things a lot easier while towing a 39' RV. The spots were closer together than other RV parks we have been to, but there was still plenty of room for the camper to fit and have the awnings out for tailgating. Other campers had trailers and cars parked alongside their campers. We drove to campus for the game, but they do offer bus service (I think it was the CatBus) so you don't have to drive. At check out we were thanked by staff who came alongside our truck to talk. They were very kind and genuine in conversation. We will certainly be back next season and would recommend this park for others looking for a place to set up camp for game weekends (or other)!

He also dates his staff, his former Manager Bonnie what great she cared and was always available for us 24/7 and lived onsite and when he was done with her, he fired and evicted her, she was a single mom with no place to go so she lost her housing and her job. The new manger was never available, she, and relied on the some of the resident to do her job after hours and at the same time they were allowed to break the rules and when you complained about them, she ignored it. prices went up and the residents suffered. There are no amenities for the price you pay, he doesn't give any discounts especially to Veterans, they make you pay to have a DNA test of your dog's poop if your long term. They say they are a 45 and up adults only, and they are not. The owner has party's and the people going to the party race through the parking campground along with the golf carts that do not follow the speed limit. And heaven forbid if you are a good resident who pay their site fee on time and follow the rules but have a few friends over then he evicts you, he picks and chooses who you are allowed to have visit you onsite and at your camper, has even made threats to good resident he would evict if they have them onsite again. Quite time is at 9pm and the staff who live onside are not allowed to be social with the resident's if they are the owner fire and evicts them on the spot.
