Camping at Seminole State Park in Georgia

Seminole State Park is in Georgia and we decided to fit this one  last camping trip in prior to surgery.  I wrote about the trip to St George island before.  This one wasn't planned but fortunately we were able to get a site last minute. 

We used to have a Class C and honestly, if we had known I'd retire when I did (early) we probably wouldn't have it bought it. We'd either have waited until I was out of the workforce or just bought this small Class A to begin with. It gives us so much more room.

This particular site at Lake Seminole is great, very private and the winds from the lake aren't so severe.  This is a chapel behind us and beyond that are trails through the woods and to the boardwalk.

The boardwalk was open but many of the trails were closed off as the previous years storms did heavy damage to the park.

It was glorious having the place to ourselves. Just sunning turtles and birds for company.

These squirrels are shy but they do get close enough for a photo op if they are up high in a tree. They don't look real.

Doug did a bit of grilling.  Nothing like a steak cooked outside. Behold the cool new digital thermometer.

He grilled the asparagus too.  I can only take credit for the buttery mushrooms and sweet potato mash.

The sunset and skies were lovely. Probably too many trees to make it worth it to bring a telescope but we'll see next time.

We had a very good time and I can recommend this park as a pleasant place to camp. There are sites on the lake as well but the winds are wickedly strong in winter. We liked it on the hill best and we have camped there quite a few times.

That's the camping wrap up and hope to plan more trips soon.

  2. Beautiful! We stayed in Tallahassee on the way to Orlando and we were amazed by the amount of storm damage you could see from the interstate. Love seeing Aja and the campground. Looks like a nice relaxing time.

  3. Peaceful vistas in your photos -- this is a really enjoyable post. A place that you wouldn't find if you were an ordinary traveler.
