In spite of the poor reviews I had read about this park, I stayed here 33 foot pull-behind travel trailer because I thought being on the river (and across the highway and north about one-half mile from a GA state park) the view would offset the negative reviews. I also wanted to see the Tallulah River Gorge – one of the largest in the eastern US. I was wrong. In a word this park is a “dump”. This is a private members only park. It is part of the Coast to Coast (C2C) and Adventure Outdoors Resort (AOR) systems. I stayed as an AOR member for $8.00 a night for full hook ups. To start with, there is no place to park while you register. The road from the highway to the office is one way – one lane so while you are registering you are blocking the entrances. The entrance sign on the highway was being repaired the day I arrived and therefore there was no highway sign to mark the park. I suggest you phone for directions. The AOR book gives almost no directions. The GPS is N34 46.103 W83 23.789 but that could be off by a few 100 feet. The park is a very large park. The narrow one-way dirt road that is poorly maintained along the river is almost a mile long. Watch out for the overhanging tree limbs. It appears, but I am not sure, that the river sites are for the local members. The AOR & C2C guest are assigned to the “mountain” (C section) sites up a VERY steep road which is also the way out of the park for everyone since the roads are one-way. The C section is almost one-half a mile from the river. Since I was on the mountain site, hiking was a problem because no matter which way one went it was a steep walk. The sites are VERY poorly maintained and difficult to back into. Some sites are large, most are small. There is a camp host at the C section. It appears that they live here full time. There was a number of empty RVs stored (?) on the sites. I was the only camper I saw (in the whole park) when I arrived. Maybe that was because school had started. There was some, but not very bad, highway noise in spite of being in the woods. No TV, no cable, no Wi-Fi. Satellite may be a problem due to the trees. The office is closed on Sunday and Monday – No CHECK INS. I will not stay there again, in spite of the low nightly rate.

The best boondocking location in the US is Gooseneck State Park in Utah near Mexico Hat. Do a Google search: it's located a few miles north of Monument Valley. (N37.17452 W109.92640) You can park as close to rim of the Canyon (as nice as Grand Canyon) as you want (?) to. Then go (take your tow vehicle) up the "Mountain" on route 261. Turn left at the first dirt road for a view from the top. (N37.23307 W109.99329) Also visit the "Garden of the Gods" at the foot of the mountain. Neither is a trip to take with any big rig: only the tow. If you have time, drive on to the Glen Canyon river.

In May 2006 I camped at Sun Resort, Apopka FL as a member of AOR. The AOR rate is $6.00 per night, but the resort charges a $3.00 extra per night for “energy”. Thus the total is $9.00 plus tax for a total of $10.04 per night. Most of the lots are very shady (may be too much) the trees can be a problem getting in and out. I paid for a total of 21 nights; however my plans changed after a week. I gave the park 7 day advance notice that I would be leaving 4 days early. The park “policy” is NO refunds even with this 7 days advance notice. Needless to say the $40.00 “soured” my view of the park somewhat. Without this problem it would have been an 8.
