Anyone camping Easter Weekend?

Hey ya'll,
I thought I'd book a site at a campground we
like in Mississippi, now that we have a new
truck we don't mind going a litttle further.
Well needless to say, everything was booked.
So I called one of the LA State Parks across
the lake from the New Orleans area One that we
haven't been to and it was booked. I finally
found a couple of sites at St. Bernard State
Park. We go there alot. It's about 45min to
and hour from our home. Nice sites, play area
pool in the summer and lots of southern wild
life. Haven't seen any alligators but ya
never know. We'd like to go on longer trips
now and I thought ya'll might know of some
great spots between the New Orleans area and
Georgia. I looked on the internet and it looks
like the State Parks in Georgia are beautiful.
State parks are usually clean, safe, and
reasonably priced. I'd love some input from
ya'll. Thanks in advance for the help.

| Hi Brenda, Georgia State Parks are nice. I'm most familar with the ones north and east, which may be longer than you want to go. If not, I like Black Rock Mountain in north Georgia, Steven J Foster at the Okeefenokee Swamp. Not a state park, but it's wonderful to camp on Cumberland Island. I'd also recommend the Florida State Parks along the Panhandle. I was at Grayton Beach State Park the weekend before Valentines Day. The Park was beautiful and the camp site I had was great. You can reserve them online. The area around the state park is pretty developed though. For something more isolated, I'd go to St. Joesph. Nedra |

Thanks Nedra,
I'm so looking forward to traveling with our camper.
We have taken it to Florida before because our truck
could handle flat land better than hill and mountians.
But now that we have a new truck we're ready to venture
out a little further. I have visited the Atlanta area
of Georgia, and have been to Stone Mountain a few times
back in the 70's. I had a great time. We are from central
and south LA so we're thinking about north Georgia,
where we can see mountians and vista's you just dont'
get here. Don't get me wrong, you don't get better food, or
music than we have here but we'd like to see a little more of this great country of ours. Thanks for sharing.
Have a wonderful weekend. Brenda
