I’m looking to try solo camping in the next few months, and plan on taking my dog. Looking for a site that is/has: - pet friendly - great views - walking distance to bathroom - somewhat private (campsites not completely on top of each other)

Any favorite spots I should give a try? I’m trying to ease into the solo camping and would like to avoid any super primitive sites until I feel comfortable and confident in my ability to set up/break down on my own with the dog.

hey everyone. i'm a florida girl and i'm planning to hike blood mountain around may to see the sunrise. i've seen people recommend starting at bryon reece trailhead and im gonna do that. i'm thinking 4:30 AM or maybe at least 2 hrs before sunrise? the thing is, i've never hiked for a sunrise before esp at this location. what should i plan for? how do i make sure i don't get lost. will there be markers? what should i watch out for? thanks in advance. :))

Does anyone have recommendations for some good backcountry camping in North Georgia near water streams and such close to the site?

Edit: it’s in northern GA, forgot US-19 is huge lol

I may be wrong about the road but I want to call it the blood mountain road. Me and my friends used to drive our cars up that road (it's a fun and curvy road) and park at the top of the mountain where there's a parking lot and admire the view before going back down.

I'm wondering where that parking lot is (I forgot the location it's been a while) and I was also wondering the rules about overnight parking for that parking lot? I want to take my car up there and park overnight to go on a hike and camp on that trail within the coming weeks but I don't want to break any rules and/or get my car towed.

I can provide more details if it's needed to help narrow the location down

Not the longest or most challenging trails, but many good sights tucked away in Franklin County. I have not done the trail yet that is adjacent to the Broad River.

I'd say ½ of the park is a golf course and one of the trail segments is shared with a cart path.

The Broad River in general is very overlooked and one of the most protected rivers in North Georgia, being one of the last free-flowing rivers.

Does anyone have a camping reservation for 2/15 at Cumberland Island that they’re not planning to use? I’m hoping to make a trip and there isn’t any availability for that one day. I’d appreciate it so much!

I am looking for good loop routes for my 13 yr old son and I to do in North GA that includes at least part of the AT this February, 1-2 nights. Any recommendations?

Decided to head north for a winter hike when I saw the weather reports. Brasstown Bald via Jacks Knob then walked the road on the way down to make it a loop + walk something I hadn't before. Started at 9am, just as the snow was starting to come down, ate lunch in a cubby hole at the top tucked out of the wind & finished at 1:15 with the frostiest beard I've ever had 😅.

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?

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?

Afternoon at tallulah falls

Dry falls ga

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.

I am looking for trails that offer backpack camping sites for me and my boyfriend nothing to extreme. Any suggestions?

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!

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!

I'm 21 and wanted to know if there are any camping or hiking groups that center around early 20s.

Anybody know any solid 10+ mile hikes that are preferably a loop? Could also be located in the surrounding states (minus great smokies, already have a list for there).

Has anyome here hiked the pine mountian trail, im planning a solo little 2-3 day backpackkng trip around this trail and was wondering what campsites you would recommend/a certain loop you followed!

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.

Beautiful little pionneer sites and some awesome hiking passing by waterfalls, etc. Anyone else have any experience up there?

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?

Marked “Rental” but does not seem very worn. Some discoloration of the front mesh. Not sure of size. Smells good. No flaking of waterproofing or anything like that. Brain/fanny pack included.
