Last week we camped at a different type of CG. It was a county maintained Public Fishing Area in SE GA very near Claxton (you know, where the roadside fruit cakes are made). Blogger won't let me post pics of the CG signs or the fruit cake sign for some reason (taken w/my phone instead of camera or tablet (IG has the pics).
It only had 12 RV sites with 5 of them being FHU (11, 14, 17, 20, 25). We were on site 9 which had the best view of any. The hosts were Janis & Howard & were very nice & friendly & took their jobs seriously as you could tell by the way the CG was maintained. The bath house was exceptionally clean which is a huge plus when you don't have FHU.
It had 3 lakes to choose from for fishing with many many spots to stake out. There were also several nature trails. We walked the loop the 2nd day which we estimate was around 3.5 miles.
There were several gators that inhabited the lakes with one of them being HUGE. We saw him on our nature walk when we walked down by one of the piers on the back side. Too bad I didn't have my camera or phone w/me because I have never gotten so close to such a large reptile in the wild. The distance from his snout to his eyes was at least a foot if not longer. Greg estimated him to be 8 - 10 foot long. There is a pic of a large gator but he wasn't the huge one.
We will definitely stay here again in the future especially since it is only about 3.5 hours from either the farm or the FL house.
Here's the pics that I can post ....

What a pretty place - looks so relaxing!
Good campground hosts but not overcrowded with too many other campers. What a lovely spot. Those 'gators swimming around would have creeped me out though. ;o)
Leigh ... It truly was.
Mama Pea ... They were creepy, especially that big one on the backside. To walk out of the woods to the lake bank & see him floating only a few feet from the shore was almost surreal.
