Thanks for the ideas. We're going to make some calls and see exactly what's open in February. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:29:47 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7388#7388 Park recommendations? : We passed Fall Creek Falls on... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7282#7282 Author: Guests

We passed Fall Creek Falls on our way east yesterday.  We have been there but not as campers.  As throttle 96 said it is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:50:45 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7282#7282 Park recommendations? : Not in Georgia or Kentucky, but... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7275#7275 Author: Guests

Not in Georgia or Kentucky, but halfway in between. Fall Creek Falls in Tennesee. It is BEAUTIFULL. "Fall Creek Falls, at 256 feet, is the highest waterfall in the eastern United States". Just a thought.]]> Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:40:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7275#7275 Park recommendations? : I spent 1 night in this GA State... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=784&PID=7266#7266 Author: Guests

I spent 1 night in this GA State Park.  It's a real nice park that I would hit again if it was along my route.  It's close to Sandersville, GA.

Hamburg State Park: http://www.gastateparks.org  (478) 552-2393 or (800) 864-7275

They have plenty of pull through sites and all sites have a view of the lake.  RV camping is $23.00 per night and $18.40 per night for seniors.  All RV sites have water and electric, 30amp and 50amp.  They use a dump station.  There is a restored water powered grist mill in the campground with free tours.  Park Office hours are:  8:00AM to 5:00PM.

The sites are large and clean with plenty of shade.

You might want to call the park and find out if the fort is in operation during the winter.

The Kentucky Horse Park is just off I 75 and they have a very nice campground.  It is just north of Lexington. I am not sure if it is open in the winter but I suppose it is since Fort Boonesboro is open.  The Horse Park is interesting.  They have a museum dedicated to everything "horsey" :)
They have famous horses that have been retired.  During the summer (not sure now) they have what they call "The Parade of the Horses" and different breeds are brought out to show.
If you are staying more than a day there are other  places around Lexington of interest.

Visit fort. Check. Thanks. That's what we're lookin' for - interesting stuff to see besides Bronner's of Frankenmuth billboards. I swear they have those things all the way down to Miami.
 
The route from MI down to FL is pretty much I-75. We're flexible on the return route, and willing to stray off the interstate a bit to get to a good park.

Make sure and visit the Fort at Boonesborough.  The re-enactors are really talented.  We especially liked the blacksmith and gun shop.
 
You have to drive 1/2 mile to the fort from the campground.

It might help to show the routes that you would be taking.

SWMBO made the reservations about a month ago.

How far ahead did you get your reservation at Fort De Soto?  I checked out the reservation site and there is nothing available until the middle of April.  We are considering it for 2011.

We're going from MI to FL in February and are looking for some ideas.
 
On the way down, we're staying at Boonesborough Park in KY the first night, then the Forsyth KOA in GA the second night. Our time in FL is all booked, but we're soliciting ideas for places to stay on the way back up. We'll be starting back home from Fort DeSoto State Park in FL.
 
Probably GA and KY on the way back up will work the best, so if anyone has any personal experience with any parks in those areas we'd appreciate any and all feedback.
