In our full-time travels in our RV, on our way to eastern Canada, we camped at High Falls State Park near Athens and Macon, Georgia. With its historic ruins, falls, and hiking trails, this campground gave us plenty to do. This is why we love camping in state parks in our Grand Design Solitude fifth wheel.
In this video, we show you the ruins from the abandoned 1900s-Hydropower Plant & Grist Mill, the dam, and of course the waterfalls. High Falls became a ghost town in the 1880s when a railroad came through and bypassed the town. And we also do a full campground tour, showing every single campsite on the river side and the lake side (RVs, tents, & Yurts) - along with the amenities- like boat ramp, pool, hiking trails.

We are a married couple in our mid 50s who downsized and sold our house so we can see the sights and enjoy every day to live deliberately as full time RVers - traveling with our dog Scrappy in our Grand Design Solitude 310 GK fifth wheel.
