Crooked River State Park, Georgia
Our last camping trip of the year was spent at Crooked River State Park in Georgia. It wasn’t ideal camping weather with all the rain and cloud overcast.

But for our first camping trip we chose a state park in Georgia, Reed Bingham State Park. (gastateparks.org/ReedBingham) This was the perfect option for us to try our camper out.

The parking space for our camper was generous with a lot of space between us and other campers. …
