Our FIRST outing was to the Chattanooga area...ruby falls, rock city, and the incline....a very nice couple of days. We stayed at raccoon mountain...a private campground. I was pretty impressed. They put is in the tent area, so we had good tree coverage, but were close to our neighbors. As they were BMW riders, I didn't mind.
This was the off season, I'd probably feel different if they were packed in...
Although, state parks have become my place of choice...I havnt had a bad experience yet. Just know the rules before you get there.
. North Carolina was a bit draconian with their NO alcohol policy....
Fat boy wants his wine and beer with dinner!
