10/1/2012 Petersburg COE Campground, Appling, GA Site 52

Site 52

Petersburg Campground is a beautiful COE Park on J. Strom Thurmond Lake in Georgia just 4 miles from the Thurmond Dam and Visitor Center.

Our site was a long, very wide waterfront gravel back in site with picnic table, fire ring, and lantern hook. We had water and electric at the site. The dump station is conveniently located on the way out of the campground. Our campsite had steps down to the lake and we had a nice view of the lake from our site.

There are two boat ramps and a swimming beach in the park. AT&T cell service worked fine and we were able to get DirecTV Satellite. The park is located a few miles off of I-20 and is easy to get to. There are restaurants and shopping including 2 Walmarts within easy driving distance. It's not too far from Augusta. It's a short drive to Harlem, GA, the birthplace of Oliver Hardy where there is an interesting Laurel and Hardy Museum.

Would we return? YES!

6/25/2010 Calhoun KOA Site 43 Calhoun, GA

We stopped at the Calhoun KOA just off of I-75. Our site was dirt with full hookups. The campground had a pool, playground, a nice covered picnic area for groups, and a new looking building for meetings. We were there over the weekend and the campground was pretty crowded. It seemed to be a popular place for groups. The campground looked like it was once very nice but was a little run down when we were there. The campsites were very close together. This park could be very nice with a little TLC.

Would we stay here again? Maybe

General Coffee State Park, Nichols, GA Site 37 11/1/2009

General Coffee State Park is located halfway between Nichols and Douglas, Georgia. There are beautiful trees throughout the park. Most of the sites are dirt pull throughs with water and electric only. There is a fire pit and picnic table at each site. The dump station is conveniently located as you leave the park. We were not able to get DirecTV satellite because of the trees. Walmart, restaurants and other shopping are located in nearby Douglas.

General Coffee is a beautiful, quiet park and we enjoyed the campground and would recommend it to anyone with an RV 35 feet or smaller. Many of the sites would be hard to get into with a larger RV. The road through the park and especially through the campground is very tight in places because of trees close to the road.

Amenities: Water and Electric

Would we stay here again? YES

Stephen C. Foster State Park, Fargo, GA Site 64 11/30/2008

Stephen C. Foster is one of our favorite places to camp. We have stayed here several times in December when it is almost empty. We stayed once in March when it was almost full and we enjoy it both ways. We like to stay in one of the large premium pull throughs. The bath house is spotless. Be sure to bring your own groceries when you come as it is a long way to anywhere. There is a nice gift shop and store with limited groceries and ice.

Harvest Moon RV Park Adairsville, GA Site 18 11/12/2008

This park is big rig friendly and convenient to I-75 north of Atlanta. Even though this campground is in an urban setting it was very quiet. The owner was helpful and even had free popcorn for us when we checked in. A good place for an overnight stop.

Blythe Island Regional Park Site 45 11/2/08

Blythe Island Regional Park is very convenient to I-95 near Brunswick, GA. Just a few minutes off the interstate and you are in a beautiful wooded park with a pond and nature trails.

Crooked River State Park, St. Mary's, GA Site 9 10/27/2008

Crooked River is a really pretty state park located on the river. Our site was a large, level pull through with water and electric. The site was all grass with a picnic table. Reservations through the Georgia State Park system are not site specific. You pick which site you want when you arrive. The park is a short drive from I-95 and close to restaurants and shopping.
