Originally we were going to boondock, (park Bertha in a parking lot without any hookups (water, electricity, sewage, etc.)) but Cracky (our mom) found a state park last week that was near by and looked prettier than a Walmart parking lot, which isn't saying much but I digress.
So Atlanta State Park was our first destination. We were not sure what to expect as we pulled up after a VERY LONG drive, but large pines towered over us and we felt like Cracky hadn't done us dirty. The park was beautiful! Trees everywhere, fresh air, and overall beauty surrounded us.
The park was surprisingly empty of any others except one other quiet family. We felt very secluded in this large Forrest. We set up camp, hung up our ENO parachute-material hammocks and hooked up to electricity and water. We then took a half mile hike to Lake Wright Patman, a beautiful lake that sits in the park. Unfortunately there was about 100% humidity and mosquitoes everywhere but other than that, the hike was enjoyable.
We got back and cooled off inside the RV with the air conditioning on full blast, we were hot!
Overall the campground exceeded our expectations and we would love to visit again, maybe in the fall for cooler weather and less humidity. The cell service could've been better and it would've been nice to hook up to sewage. We ended up taking showers in the public restrooms, which were surprisingly clean and quite nice. Therefore, I give this campground 4 out of 5 RV's.
