Cotton Hill Campground COE, Fort Gaines, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a nice park but, at least the section we are in, seems to be more suited to trailers.  There is only 1 other motorhome, and no 5th wheels.  Our site was a bitch to get into.  It was sloped down from the road, then leveled off at the parking pad.  We had to take the tow bar off to keep it from hitting.  It does look like site 37 might be a good site for us if we were to come back.

The yard area is crushed gravel and of good size to use all of our xpens.  When Mike made the online reservations, he put 11 in the section about pets.  When we checked in, they asked if we really had 11 dogs, and laughed when we said yes.

The other campers don't seem to understand anything about campground etiquette, and keep trespassing on the back of our site to get to the water.

Site #18
$12
No sewer
Length of stay - 3 nights

Anderson/Lake Hartwell KOA - Anderson, South Carolina

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a fine campground.  The only 50amp sites they had/have are their deluxe "patio" sites, that have a wooden deck, which takes up valuable xpen area.  This campground is over priced for what it is.  The original price for this site was $56.00.  The KOA discount was $5.60.  We lucked out and our KOA card was still valid and we had some points accumulated.  Enough to get us a $25.00 discount.

We did not have a reservation.  During check-in they asked if we had pets.  Mike said "Yes", and they just pointed out the doggie run.  They did not ask how many.

Length of stay - 1 night

R. Shaefer Heard Campground West Point Lake COE - West Point, Georgia

 PFR *****
Campground **+
 

This is campground  is nice, but not many sites that we will fit in.  The site we are in was tight to get into, since it "dog legged" to the right, and there were a couple of trees we had to avoid.  The site is a crushed gravel and blacktop.  This site does have a nice large dog yard, but our next door neighbor is pretty close, since we share an entry drive.  We do have a view of the lake.

Only 3 ota TV channels, all PBS.  No cell phone service, and weak internet.

Since we are here for 2 weeks, we are using the bath house.  It is not close enough to walk to, so we have to drive to get there.

We have reservations at site #26 on our return trip.  It looks like a really nice, wide site.

Site #1
Length of stay - 2 weeks
$14/night, with senior discount

Site #26 is really nice.  Very long, wide, level, and easy to back into.  It is right next to the lake, with a wooden step down to the shore level.  It is also pretty secluded.  This site is a lot nicer than site 1. But, we still only get 3 PBS channels most of the time, but could get 3 other channels, including MEtv and one network station.

Length of stay - 2 nights

Lake Woodruff Prairie Creek COE - Lowndesboro, Alabama

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a really nice COE park.  They did not even ask about pets.  We got a great curved concrete pull-thru site, with the xpen side facing a large semi-private grassy area.

VERY spotty phone and text signal, but got pretty good reception on the mifi, and got several antenna TV stations including MeTV.

Length of stay - 1 night
$11.00 with discount card
Site #25

Northgate RV Travel Park - Athens, Alabama

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a fine campground for an overnight stay.  Sites are pull thru and just barely long enough for the RV and car (with bike rack) to not unhook car.  Sites are gravel with grass between.  Our site was pretty narrow near the front, with only about 5' of grass between the edge of the gravel and the next site.  There is a little more near the back.  Some sites had more grass space, but we would not have had any shade.  Our shade was created by the MH.  There are no trees.

We did not make a reservation.  When we pulled in a little after noon, there were only 2 other RVs in the park.  As evening approached, a few more rigs pulled in.

They never asked anything about pets.  We put out all 5 xpens.  One of the staff was working on a tractor a little ways away and I'm sure he saw all of the dogs when they were out.  He did not come over or say anything.

Length of stay - 1 night
$30/night

Grand Ole RV Resort - Goodlettsville, Tennessee

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a nice park, with gravel parking pads and grass between.  The sites are pretty wide.  We were able to put out all 5 xpens, with plenty of room.

Even though we are very close to Nashville, we don't get many TV channels.  Don't get MeTV.

They did not ask about pets when I made the reservation, and did not ask about pets when we checked in.

We spent a week here with Bob & Trish.  They were in the site next to us, #10.

This park is right next to some railroad tracks with frequent trains.  We were pretty close, but it didn't really cause any problems.  Just a little loud sometimes when  trying to have a conversation outside.

There is a cafe in the campground office.

Length of stay - 7 nights
Site #9

Bald Ridge Creek COE - Cumming, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a COE campground on Lake Lanier.  Sites have electric and water, but no sewer.  The sites are angled and very spacious.  There is a level concrete pad with crushed gravel/dirt yard area.  Our site has a nice view of the lake, but is one of the very few that doesn't have any shade until late afternoon/evening.

Since we were here for 2 weeks, we had to use the bath house.  It was kept very clean.

They do not have a pet limit.  One of the camp hosts came by on her golf cart one night, and loved seeing them.

Site #6
Length of stay - 14 nights
$12.86/night with the National park senior pass

Little Tallapoosa Park - Carrollton, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ****

We have stayed in this park several times.  There are photos of some of the sites below.  Most recent is 5/17 - 5/24/21.

This is a County park.  There are no pet restrictions.  We even told the lady who made our reservation how many dog we have, and she was fine with it.

The sites are nice width, and most are long enough for big rigs.  Black top pads, with a sandy yard area, surrounded by grass.  Most sites have trees, but not all provide shade.  Our site, #2, seems to be one of the best sites available.

The park is very quiet.  The only problem we have encountered is that there are a lot of ants in our yard area.

There is a walking/biking path in the park.  Part of it is right next to site 2.

Length of stay: 3 weeks
Site #2
Rate: $24/day with senior discount

Site #7 9/26 - 10/10/16  This site is a pull-thru and is probably better than #2.

This is site #5.  We stayed here 4/16 - 4/27/19.  This is a nice level site, with good xpen area, and great afternoon shade.  It was hard to find a place for the satellite dish, but Mike did find a place that picked up all 3 satellites, on the parking pad behind the coach.  This site had VERY low water pressure when we first arrived, 20 lbs. We filled the fresh water tank and used it.  Then, when Mike was refilling the fresh water tank a week later, the water pressure was 60 lbs.

This is site 18.  We stayed in this site 5/17 - 5/24/21.  It is a nice, level site.  Plenty of room for a nice x-pen yard, although it has to be routed around the fire pit.  Did not have to use the portable satellite dish.  Got all 3 using rooftop.

Lakeside Landing Marina & RV Resort, Cropwell, Alabama

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a nice campground.  It is first come, first serve.  They had several spaces available when we arrived.  The spaces were all pretty level gravel & grass, with a nice size shade tree between each site.  There is a raised concrete patio pad which kept us from being able to put out more than 3 pens, but it was plenty of room for just one night.  They did not ask  if we had dogs.

This is the week before Memorial Day, so they are charging their holiday rate all week.  The normal overnight price is $30.  ($35 for waterfront)

$45.00/night (With tax $50.05)!!
Site #38
Length of stay 1 night
