On Tuesday, May 31, we drove from Jemison, AL to Riverbend Campground near Hiawassee, GA in the northern Georgia mountains. The trip was uneventful other than the usual stop and go getting through downtown Atlanta on I-85/I-75 and the usual heavy traffic in the Atlanta area. North of Atlanta, the terrain quickly turned hilly and soon we were winding our way up and down the Blue Ridge foothills. Riverbend Campground is in a beautiful setting about 15 miles north of Helen, GA and just south of the southwestern North Carolina state line. Our site backs up to the Hiawassee River which has plenty of trout, bass and other fish in it..
The campground offers level gravel sites, full hookups, free cable TV and decent WiFi. The facilities are well-kept and the workers are friendly. The town of Hiawassee is about 10 minutes away and the area is surrounded by parts of scenic Lake Chatuge.
During our stay we'll be joined here by other members of the Metter Road Runners and the RV Radio Network. We'll be here until at least June 15 enjoying our friends and exploring the area.
