Vogel state park George's best state park!!! in our opinion at this time.
I would say, if you're looking for one of the oldest and best State parks in Georgia for RV camping Vogel state park is at the top of our list now. Definitely do yourself a favor. If you've never stayed here and you love the Georgia state parks you've got to try Vogel.
One thing we would say is that it is quite mountainous getting in and out of the park. There are quite a few switchbacks and steep grades but nothing our three-quarter ton couldn't handle.
Along with their RV park, they also have a lot of cabins and cottages that you can rent and stay in
Another thing we really enjoyed about Vogel was that it's only about a half an hour to 45 minutes from Helen Georgia one of our favorite places and the drive from Vogel to Helen was absolutely breathtaking.
We would definitely say that Vogel State Park is our new favorite Georgia campground for RVing.

Really nice video tonight! Loved the sunset over the lake and I want that campsite! Music was good. My Harley needs those roads!
Can you plan next October with us? That would be AWESOME! Bring your Harleys
Not sure about October. Would love to, but most likely Thanksgiving. We shall see.
We are trying to see fall leaves. But thanksgiving is easier for us too.
@@AlliChuckAdventures maybe we will all be retired by then!
@@jamiestevenson2101 I will be. Many a motorcycles would pass me in the mountains. Some with steel plates on there knee's.
Hey guys. That use to be part of my territory when we lived in Ga. We also kept out 5th wheel in Turners Corner south of Vogel State Park. I don't miss the switch backs or mountain roads. There are a lot of nice parks in Ga.
Great job
Wow it's crazy how we've been same places and lived in same places lol The roads are def fun LOL Thanks for the kind words. Hope yall are doing well. I just learned i'm diabetic....fun times
Next time go up 575 and come in through Blairsville. No switch backs that way. Much easier.
Oh wow!!! Thanks for that information!!! We will DEF do that next time. Again thank you! 😀
I so enjoyed your video and look forward to our visit to the park. Maybe we will see you there ❤🎉😊
Thank you!!! When are you planning on being there? We are hoping in October.
Enjoyed the video. Have yet to stay at Vogul .Might have to wait till next spring. Lol. So far cloudland canyon has been our favorite Georgia park. Thanks again
Oh man we LOVE Cloudland too. Georgia has some really great state parks! You will LOVE Vogel if you love CLoudland! Have you been to Tallulah Gorge?
No haven’t been to tallulah gorge yet. Don’t get to travel as much as we would like. Love state parks and the coe parks for sure. We are from central ms. Did make a long trip to South Dakota this summer. Loved it. Stayed at rafter J bar ranch. Beautiful country.
We are in for next year. This looks amazing. Great video and nice drive thru showing sites. Miss you guys
Sounds like a fun time!!! As always 🤣 too much fun probably lmao
Just south of Vogel State Park (down the hill) is DeSoto Falls Recreation Area. We stayed there 2 weeks a couple years ago. It's a little hard to make the turn to get into the campground from the north. You might want to go past it and turn around. It is quaint. The roads are narrow and the spots are hard to get a bigger RV into but the campsites are huge. It is also cheap and they honor the America the Beautiful 1/2 price discount, but there's no dump there. We dumped and took on water for free at Unicoi in Helen.
BTW there's a distillery just north of Vogel before you get to Blairsville that has some potent moonshine. It used to be called Grandad Mim's but they changed their name recently to Roadside Distilling. They still make great shine but it's rebranded as Bigfoot. They are distilling whisky there too now. The Georga Golden Bourbon is the best "sippin' whisky" they make. Try it neat. We still have some 150-proof shine left, as it's potent. BTW the bar there is the original one in the movie Coyote Ugly. Just next door is a Pappy's trading post that's worth a visit too - very eclectic. I bought a whole gallon of pickled okra there for only $20. Their ice cream and fudge are good too.
Wow, this is all great information and we definitely will have to try that distillery and get some moonshine next time we’re up there. How cool is it that the original movie was shot there for coyote ugly we would love to see that.
Hey guys, love the video. I have been going to Vogel every summer with my family for about the last 10 years. We plan a couple weeks up there and have other friends that come during that time also. We also live in Florida(West Palm Beach). One thing we learned early on was to not go over the mountain to get into Vogel. We only did that the first year and that was just with a pop-up camper. Now we have a 30 ft. trailer and would never take that route. We go through Atlanta and head a little northwest instead of northeast. We go through Canton, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge. It is a little longer but definitely worth it with a trailer. No mountains to climb and no switchbacks. You should try it if you haven't learned about it already. We have only been in the summer, but we want to come during the fall to see the colors. Vogel is almost like a different world than down here in Palm Beach County.
Thanks that’s good info and we def will do that to avoid all the switchbacks! It is another world and LOVE it!!! Hoping we can go in October. But so far nothing is avail.
We were there at the same time as you guys! We are from Florida (Safety Harbor, close to you) and yes, it was COLD!! Too bad we didn't run into you all--next time!!
Omg that’s crazy!!! Wish we would have known!!!! We love safety harbor and the Dunedin area!!!
Hi guys! The hubs and I moved up here to Franklin, NC from Cape Coral, Fl last April. I gotta say that we have only camped in the north Ga. State parks and Vogel is definitely our favorite. Tugaloo on Lake Hartwell is our second. We are enjoying the state parks in Ga. So different from Fl. LOVING IT! Coming into Vogel is much easier coming thru Blairsville. Maybe we’ll run into you guys one day! Enjoy.
Hi!!! Yeah the next time we go to Vogel we’re definitely coming through Blairsville a lot less switchbacks. We love the north Georgia mountains so much such a difference from here in Florida.
Hi Karla. Punta Gorda here and I am researching north Georgia state park campgrounds and ya all here innthis video. Blessing to all from sunny hot At the time Florida♡
I gave up and made firestarters. I already had wax for candles and some straw. You can but boxes of them.. I’ll have to check this park out.
That’s cool! 😁
We live in Gainesville Ga. Moved up from Bradenton in 1996. We have tent camped in VSP a few times. FYI you get use to the windy roads. KUTGW
Thanks! Gainesville? That’s like don carter state park area right? We enjoyed that campground too. Heck we say all the time we would love to live in the north Georgia mountains. Maybe someday!
Yes Don Carter is like 20 minutes away. Wife's from Mich. and we got tired of the endless summer in Fl. Here we get all 4 seasons but not extreme. Don't tell too many people about the Ga Mountains. Want to keep it all to ourselves. lol
Great video, I've yet to travel to North Georgia due to the hills and switchbacks. I do think about going every year, but end up getting a motel. I have a 20 ft Transcend and a Ram 1500 Hemi, and one day I get the nerve up.
You should do it! Going to Helen area or even Cloudland the roads aren’t bad. Now Vogel did have more steep grades and switchbacks though. But I don’t even think you would have an issue with that truck and trailer. Thanks!
@@AlliChuckAdventures wow I would have thought Cloudland would have had a steeper grade.
Love this park too,stayed there in a tent once. There are cool things nearby like helton creek falls. There still a few places in the state that are backwards on booze laws.
Wow we missed those falls! That will be something for next time then! Yup and the lady who denied selling us on Sunday was kinda bitchy about it lol. 😬
❤❤❤ Georgia State Parks!
So, having been to both Cloudland Canyon and Vogel State Parks help us decide…did you think the roads driving in were most steep and windy at Cloudland or Vogel? Have you done the decent from Amicalola Falls yet?
Me and Alli both think that Vogel was definitely more windy and steep then cloud land, and we have not done Amicalola Falls as far as camping. I know they say if you have a larger rig they don’t recommend because there are some really steep grades.
3:03 that road is Blood Mountain.
Oh awesome. Thanks for the info. We are heading back in late October!!!
Have you guys hiked the Coosa Backcountry Trail?
No! What is that and where?
@@AlliChuckAdventures it at Vogel State Park. It’s a 12+ mile loop that starts at Vogel and connects to other trails like the Duncan Ridge.
Oh wow! 12 miles!!! We might be too old now lol. 😁
Have you been to General Coffee State Park, Stephen Foster, High Falls, Ga. Veteran State Parks?
High falls yes!!! Twice. Just spent a couple nights there this past Thanksgiving trip. We’ve stayed at Steven Foster, but the one in Florida not the one in Georgia yet and haven’t heard of the other two, but we will check them out for sure!!!
Did yall manage to get back for the fall leaves?
No not yet! Was hoping to the October. No luck so far.
👍👍
Thanks Shawn!
Maybe I missed it, but what campsite were you in?
We were in 57 and LOVED it!
If you said it in the video I guess I missed it but was your site 57?
Yup site 57!
@@AlliChuckAdventures it’s a great one! We had it last year and I dream of going back! ❤️ I enjoyed your video!
better to avoid 😮😢
Ok
