Easy Places to Go Camping in Georgia with Kids
Our family is prepping for our first back-country camping trip together. I was telling a friend recently, who responded with a profound, “No Way!” That’s when it dawned on me that our style of family camping isn’t the easiest, especially with little kiddos. If you want to enjoy the crisp air, wake up to the birds chirping…but still take advantage of Internet, a pool and a hot shower, then these family-friendly camping options might be right up your alley.
