Shall we gather
at the River--the beautiful, the beautiful river!
Come on down to the Chattahoochee one more time! We just wanted
to cram in one more opportunity to camp this spring before it gets too hot. May 18, 19, 20
I have reserved a beautiful group camp area RIGHT ON THE RIVER
for a quick little weekend of camping. I just camped there this week and it was
fantastic! I saw great blue heron, otter, hundreds of carp bedding, deer, and a
bald eagle had a nest right across the river!! McIntosh Reserve Park http://www.carrollcountyga.com/pages/mcintosh_reserve_park/
McIntosh Reserve Park is located 35 miles southwest of Atlanta
along the Chattahoochee River and can be reached via U.S. Alt. 27 from
Carrollton or Newnan and GA Hwy. 5 from Douglasville. Direct access to the park
is provided by a county-maintained road that connects with GA 5 two miles west
of Whitesburg, Ga.
Some of us are taking our newly purchased kayaks (you go crazy
when you hit 60 and I'm not even there yet! LOL!) and we're doing the nice
little float from the bridge at the county line to the park (about 2 to 3
hours). If you want to do this but do not have a kayak--there is an outfitter
located at the bridge--Tim Lawson 404-852-3372 georgiatrailoutfitters.com. Give him a
call and reserve a kayak for Saturday morning.
We plan to hang out--work on crafts--cook--hike--visit--whatever
suits you!
No event fee for this campout--just $10 per day per
camper/trailer/tent for campsite. Payment must be made to me, in advance, please.
This is a group camping situation (I collect the money and will pay the park
with one check). We must have 12 in order to get the group camp rate. If we don't have 12 the rate will be $15 per day and I will collect the difference at the event. $20 reserves your spot (non-refundable) if you are camping 2 nights. Each additional day is $10.
This camp has no water or electric hookups (dry camping)--come
on girls it’s ok! They do have showers in the park and you can fill up your
water jugs there too.
The beauty of this place makes it worth it--trust me! One of the
sweet spots of Georgia!
Nearby beautiful historic downtown Newnan has lots of cute shops and junkin! Our Sister, Susan Hyde has a great shop right on the square! Whitesburg has a couple of great junk shops--my favorite....Gloria's is located there. Whitesburg also has Banning Mills http://www.historicbanningmills.com/index.php/about-us with cabins and extreme zip lines!!!
