Thinking about booking Thanksgiving week here...anybody been there (especially in November), thoughts...recommendations?

If I recall the CG is at the top of a very steep and twisty hill. I think there is a restriction on length. It was a tuff climb and almost overheated. The curves are sharp and thus you can only go about 5 maybe up to 10 mph so my engine rpm was low even in first gear. The lodge has excellent meals available. Maybe someone else can confirm I have the right place. I would check for a length restriction. Some one at the lodge may be able answer that for you.

I should have added to the above post at that time I had a PUP with a 12' box just plain and simple. Like no furnace, refrig, or A/C etc. Bare bones in other words.

I have been there and it is a very beautiful park, but never RV camped there. We rented a cabin last summer and had a great time. I looked online and there is a 50' length restriction, but the others are right it is a winding twisty and steep road to the campground.

Thanks for the info...we booked a site for Thanksgiving week, looking forward to it, seems like a great area & restaurant for Turkey Day!

The Appalacian Trial head begins at the lodge (official trail at top of mountain) with the end at Mt Katahdin, Maine. The DW has said I can start the trail for a thru hike and she can meet me at the crossroads with the RV

How about Stone Mountain campground? I am considering it for a Tgiving trip in the future...

Nice park, in the campground there are nice sites right at the pool/activity area or up on the hill in a back in site with a view of the Mt across the lake.
Crossroads theme park area is small but very well put together & maintained & kids love it. Also, miles of bike riding if you can handle up & down the hills.
Great vertical hike on one side of the mt...at the top, great views of Atlanta & beyond.

We camped Spring Break 2012... will be back for New Years 2014...take part in their "Snow Mountain" activities that time of the year.
