Calhoun A-OK Campground

After battling rush hour traffic in Atlanta and finding no vacancies near the city, we were finally able to find a spot here - although it filled up soon after our 7:30 arrival. When we turned into the park past the purple VW microbus painted with peace symbols and slowed down for the resident peacock, we knew we had found a unique campground.

The setting is beautiful, with an abundance of wildlife, mature hardwoods and rolling hills. Although the campground was virtually full, it was very quiet except for the sounds of nature. You are really in the middle of the forest, but less than two miles from the Interstate. No road noise here, though.

The owners met us at check-in and showed us to our site. Very nice and accommodating people! The campground office has a well-stocked general store. They even deliver pizza to your site!

The place was a former KOA (backwards is A-OK) so there are quite a few amenities: miniature golf, pool, large playground, Kamping Kabins, community fire pit, etc. All are kept in great condition. If it had been 20 years ago and our kids were with us, they would have made us stay more than one night. Everything is there for a fun family vacation - even goats and ducks to feed!

I did not give it 5 stars because of two reasons: the sites were not level (be sure you have your leveling blocks) and the bathhouse, while clean, is in need of an update.

We had a 30 amp site with water and no sewer, with a Good Sam discount.
