Question Black Rock in February

1 Upvotes

Me and the wife want to take a camping trip over valentines weekend as our first date was feb 14. Literally impossible in Florida where we are from as now days you have to reserve campsites like a year in advanced. She fell in love with the mountains last year when we took a trip out west, so I was considering Black Rock state park. How rough will the weather probably be? Should we look more southern georgia, or would black rock be doable in February?

Question Middle Georgia Tent Camping Recs

3 Upvotes

Hey yall, Im trying to plan a tent camping trip somewhere in Middle Georgia but don’t know much about the options. I’ve been looking at Indian Springs, High Falls, or Dames Ferry. None seem to have open pioneer camping at the moment. Anyone have any recs for different locations or which RV/Camping sites are best in the parks I mentioned?

Question We have a 5 day trip to GA, looking for state park recommendations.

13 Upvotes

We fly in and out of ATL, today until the 5th. We plan on exploring ATL and Savannah until the 2nd, but arent sure what to do after that. Either to some of the parks I listed below, SC, or a little of both.

-SW: Providence Canyon

-NW: Cloudland Canyon

-North: Amicalola Falls

-NE: Tallulah Gorge, Black Rock Mountain, and Anna Ruby Falls.

Not exactly sure what to expect for weather conditions, are there any parks we shouldnt even bother with at this time of year?

Also, if you have any favorites between the parks I listed or a different personal favorite I would love your input.

Found myself deep in the brambles a couple hours east of atl today. I come to Georgia a lot from Asheville, but usually the upstate. Have yet to see areas affected by Helene here until now, big ol whoops. Still a beautiful adventure!

Question Anyone recommend going to Cloudland Canyon by themselves?

28 Upvotes

I want to go on a hike to cloudland canyon on January 1st to start the new year off. I was supposed to go with a friend, but she bailed on me. I still want to go, anyone think it’s a bad idea?

I have gone on hikes before, but closer to home (think: East and west palisades trails). It’s been a while since I’ve been on a trail, but it looks beautiful and I wanna give it a try!

Question Gear recs for winter water crossings/bushwhacking?

6 Upvotes

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I have a severe yellow jacket allergy that I carry an Epi pen for when I hike. This time of year is the absolute best for me to be out in the woods and not have to worry about them, but I love chasing waterfalls and several on my list have water crossings involved. I am almost always solo, so I don't want to mess around with hyperthermia from getting wet.

It occurred to me that duck hunters or other avid outdoors people might have a gear rec I'm unaware of? My current solution is packing an extra pair of trail runners and socks and switching back and forth, which is not optimal. My dry pair inevitably ends up damp, and I'm over it.

Question Car Camping in April

3 Upvotes

We are looking to do a camping trip in April, but pretty much all of the State Parks--at least the decent sites--are already booked. We love camping at DeSoto Falls Recreation Area, but it is so noisy with the traffic and motorcycles. Any ideas for pretty campgrounds in North Georgia with showers that have spacious sites that aren't on top of each other?

Question Looking for Connecting with people on our next road trip

7 Upvotes

Hey y'all, my boyfriend and I are starting to plan our next trip exploring states we are wanting to settle down in.
We are hoping to connect with individuals that live in the area and are willing to host and or show us around.
We are traveling through north Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Southern Pennsylvania. We are heading out at the start of the new year this January.
We are interested in finding an area with friendly communities (does not have to be an established intentional community) that we can join.
If you are interested in connecting, please send me a personal message and we can set something up!

Question Need a primitive campsite on the marta route

11 Upvotes

I find myself about to be homeless but I've spent as much time camping and fishing or hunting in my life as I have sleeping indoors so I'm trying to approach this thing the right way. I want to set up camp, get a month pass for Marta, and use my little mobile camp as a base from which to get a job inside the metro area. Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to be on a river if possible and please don't talk to me about personal safety. I'll be as safe as anybody in Atlanta. trust me. And I'm not saying I'm armed. I'm saying I'm built like that lol

Question I need help finding a remote camping spot.

4 Upvotes

My cousin, a friend, and I are planning a camping trip, and we're looking for a secluded location away from the crowds. However, we've been struggling to find a state park that permits camping in more remote, less designated areas. Does such a place exist? If so, could someone kindly provide the name of the park?

Question Cumberland Island in December

25 Upvotes

Finally going to camp at Cumberland Island in a few weeks, very excited! I'll be at the Sea Camp and plan on bringing my own cart to haul my gear.

I keep hearing how bad the bugs are, but are they of much concern in December? What can I expect from the weather? I'm assuming not too cold but a little chilly at night.

As far as campfires go, I tend to go through a lot of firewood because I like a big fire. I can't imagine I can bring too much firewood from my cart along with the rest of my gear? Can you purchase firewood from the ferry?
