[@josea5949]

I watch several KZbin channels and yours always seems to give the best reviews with all the amazing sceneries, suggestions and ideas for future visits. Thank you and keep them coming

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much for this feedback, it really helps us!! We have lots more coming throughout the fall so stay tuned

[@peepeepoopoo1614]

This is my absolute favorite place to go. That and Anna ruby falls. These locations give me so much nostalgia. This park has been part of my life for forever. And I will never forget the memories

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yesss, Vogel is the Best!!! We have a nice video on Anna Ruby falls if you want to check it out!!

[@donmyztr]

I recognized it by the thumbnail. We happened to pay a short visit to Vogel on our trip last Fall after visiting Helton Creek Falls. It was kind of a rainy day and we almost decided not to stop but we still got to enjoy a nice walk around the lake to the waterfall. In fact, it’s because my wife saw the waterfall from the road as we were passing by on the way TO Helton that we decided to stop on our way back. We were so glad we did! And I’m so glad you reminded us that we wanted to plan to go back and spend more time there! Thank you for posting.

[@CampTravelExplore]

It's really great there, we have camped there in our RV as well as in one of their cabins, its a must do state park!! Thanks for checking it out and commenting for us!!

[@AmericasParks]

The colors were amazing! Loved that reflection that you were able to capture off the lake. You can see why this place was ranked #1. Wonderful video!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks Randy! It is one of the very best places I have ever camped! Looked incredible with the fall color too! Thanks for checking it out for us!

[@McGuiresOnTires]

Hi friends. Thanks for sharing the beauty of this gorgeous state park in Georgia. The water, the hills, and the beautiful fall colors are just spectacular. The falls look amazing.

[@McGuiresOnTires]

Would you mind hopping over to our channel and making sure we are still friends there? We've lost some lately and want to make sure we're still friends with you.

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you enjoyed it! Fall in North Georgia is amazing!!

[@KM-cm1jp]

Vogel is so awesome! My family goes almost every year near Christmas, and it’s so fun bringing my little brown doggy 😂 :D

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thats so great!!

[@MRHEAT20]

Really great review and adding the site numbers was a bonus 👍

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You Ed, so glad you enjoyed it, hope it was helpful!

[@kaseyloftis8920]

I am so lucky to live right here next to Vogel. We go there all the time. Despite living here, we still rent out cabins and camp there all the time,

[@CampTravelExplore]

Such a good one to be near for sure and close to so many waterfalls! Have you been to Helton Creek Falls just down the road?

[@kaseyloftis8920]

@@CampTravelExplore Yes! We used to go there way before they built the deck that is there now. I have loved watching your videos of all the areas around here that I have grown up around. I would love to see more of the GA state parks! And yes, I feel so lucky to live next to Vogel State Park. I grew up going to it all the time, and never knew it was voted the number one or two for top GA state parks.

[@timroberts1109]

Great share! Thanks! I’ll be at Vogel State Park October 21-23. Hoping to catch some 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

[@CampTravelExplore]

What a perfect time to be there!!!

[@Adventureswithbecky]

Man!!!! This is just stunning! Those colors are so beautiful!!!!! I could definitely camp there and just recharge for weeks at a time! Favorite part has to be the trail on the lake that is just beautiful and loved the swing I would be sitting there all day.

[@CampTravelExplore]

This one is incredible! My fav I have stayed at so far!!

[@Adventureswithbecky]

@@CampTravelExplore definitely looks like it is.

[@brianmatthews2503]

The Mrs. and I will be camping at Vogel this June and we are enthused, and your video helped show what a great time we can expect to have. Thank you!👍🏻

[@CampTravelExplore]

Oh you will love it there! It is our favorite in all of Georgia!

[@philipbuzzanca8450]

Visiting a buddy in Blairsville. Just happened to see it on a map and looked it up. we drove through and it's very Nice. My wife and I will be back!!!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes you will love it there, we have been there three times now!

[@JamesRobertSmith]

Having been born and raised in Georgia I have visited all but four of the state parks. And I'd have to agree with your assessment that Vogel is Georgia's finest all-around state Park. We last stayed there in January 2020 and had a wonderful time. You didn't mention the amazing hike from the campground to the summit of Blood Mountain. An amazing hike to spectacular views.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks James! Yeah we didn't get the chance to do that hike, but hope to in the future! Thanks for your insight!!

[@randomrachael420]

The campground is very nice, I was impressed with the clean heated bathrooms with showers in them. This is one of my favorite places to camp in Georgia so far! Also Tugaloo State Park is a cool spot, especially if you enjoy camping by the water :)

[@CampTravelExplore]

Im going to check out Tugaloo State Park soon I hope! Thank You for your support!

[@campinnstyle7804]

Gorgeous!!! I want to visit here for sure!!! I'm now a follower of your channel...thanks for the beautiful video! OHMYGOSH those creeks!!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Welcome to our channel! So glad you enjoyed it! Yes some of those campsites are to die for! We appreciate your kind words as well!

[@nealdaigle894]

Vogel is our favorite state park, we try to make a family trip there each summer. Lots of AT hiking in the area, including the Blood Mountain hike which can be done from the back of the park! Also enjoy the 3D archery and zip-lines at closeby Unicoi State Park.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Vogel is amazing!! Unicoi is near so much to do for sure!!

[@joelcrow]

Tough to beat those beautiful Appalachian foothill in GA, the flowing rivers in the cool woods all flanked by rhododendrons... literally some of the freshest and softest air in the country!

[@alexandriagomez3820]

Love your videos and wish I found it sooner! Still great information for my upcoming trip. I will definitely be using your recommendations for future trips!

[@CampTravelExplore]

We have a bunch of Georgia content, have you checked out our recent "6 must see waterfalls in Georgia" episode yet?

[@bartwesp4303]

Fine work thanks for good video on both the park amenities and the park sites. even with the reservation pictures and google earth it doesn't compare to the videos to get an idea of spacing and site aspects.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks so much Bart for the kind feedback, I really appreciate it!!

[@agrove91]

Very cool. Thanks!

Our family is going in November and can't wait!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Oh you will really enjoy it!!

[@OffRampAdventures]

Love that view of the falls from the overlook! Great tour, would like to be there!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@wendingourway]

I much prefer the State and Provincial Parks...they are usually well taken care of, less crowded, and many are just so underrated but offer so much...thanks so much for sharing...

[@CampTravelExplore]

Agreed, and the campsites are usually nicer as well!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

What a gorgeous place! Love the trail and that it is dog friendly. We like to collect magnets from our camping trips so the store looked fun. The campsites all look super long - perfect as we don’t like to unhook if we don’t need too. And I saw an Rpod! Beautiful video Tom .

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much, glad you enjoyed it! This is the gem of Georgia if you ever get to check it out!! Im seeing more and more Rpods as I film these different state parks!

[@adventures.and.activities]

We will be at Vogel State Park in the next few days! We have heard great things about it from Rangers at other GA State Parks and cannot wait to find out for ourselves.

[@CampTravelExplore]

We just love it there, and Vogel is ranked high in the country for state parks!! Should be a great time of the year for you too! Let us know what you think of it!!

[@sealy1]

Hey there, I once went there (I’ve been many times) and there was a trail right by my campsite! It wasn’t any of the trails you mentioned, but it was beautiful!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes there are quite a few trails there!! Love me some Vogel!!

[@AyoJalan-Jalan]

This is a beautiful park, thanks for sharing this video

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you liked it!!

[@nedwebb1261]

In future videos, would you provide a review of the comfort stations with inside video? That would be wonderful for tent campers to see. Great review incidentally.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You for that feedback, we will try to incorporate that info better! Keep sharing your thoughts on our episodes, we appreciate it!

[@margaretsasscer2565]

Is it difficult to get reservations in Jan/Feb? I am getting so discouraged with, for example, all state parks reserved up to 11 months ahead in Florida. Thanks for the beautiful video.

[@CampTravelExplore]

With all of these state parks you need to plan up to a year in advance now, that is what we are seeing in Florida and Georgia. Thank You for your kind words!

[@Adventureswithbecky]

Having a hard time finding a campground close by in FL over Thanksgiving 😪

[@Reeldrivenoutdoors]

Was just there last week lol. I’ve stayed there probably 15 times in my lifetime and let me say.... you are not wrong my friend. Prices have skyrocketed since the late 90s-early 2000s tho

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks so much, yes one of my Favs of anywhere Ive camped!

[@tjandcj123]

Are their hotels/cabins for rent nearby or do you have to camp?

[@Reeldrivenoutdoors]

@@tjandcj123 there are many many cabins in the area to rent and some campsites, no hotels tho besides the ones in Helen

Came back for a second view (now that I need GA ideas)!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Its our fav in all of GA!!

[@PaulaMendez-g8h]

Camping with my 4yr old daughter, and we are deciding between this park or Tallulah Gorge State Park? which one do you think my daughter will enjoy better?

[@GimpyCamper]

This one has been on my to do list for a while, but just not got there. It's not too far from me. My favorite GA State Park so far is Crooked River SP

[@CampTravelExplore]

I will have to check out Crooked River SP, thanks for letting me know!

[@pigybak]

don’t think that i am stalking you, but we’re heading there in late December. thanks for the preview.

No Winfield Scott?

[@loragrace1697]

How far is the hike to and from the waterfalls?

[@CampTravelExplore]

From the campground?

[@buntingy]

What's good in Gwinnett or stone mountain

[@CampTravelExplore]

Indian Springs state park isn't far from Stone Mountain and for Gwinnett, Red Top Mountain state park might be an option for you!!

[@catherineduart4326]

Sewer hook ups here?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I don't remember any full hook-ups as they have a dump station, but here is the direct number for Vogel in case you want to check for sure, 706-745-2628. They didn't pick up when I tried but thats the only way to know for sure. The site we stayed at had power and water only :)

[@vkhiev]

I like Tugaloo state park also

Good one! We will get to that one soon I hope!

i have heard nothing but great things about this park

[@CampTravelExplore]

Its one of my all time favorites!!

Do they allow tent camping

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes they do, I believe they have about 18 tent only campsites! They were in a designated loop!

@@CampTravelExplore well… I wish you had said yes…… looks inviting!! Haha

[@fd7860]

Thank you for the beautiful scenery. Did you find the sites to be small and too close to each other as some google reviewers think?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I thought the sites were great honestly. They were all pretty deep, they do have a few areas where they are a bit smaller because they do have like 90 sites, but anything 36 ft and smaller would never have an issue.

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

We have camped there but for some reason we didn't take in that many views. We have to return. Found you on the FB post. Just subscribed.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hey Thank You and welcome to our channel! It is my fav place to camp in Georgia and this time we really checked out some of the area waterfalls and had no idea there were so many!

Looks like a 44 foot diesel coach will not fit at Vogel. Too bad. I live 30 minutes away.

[@CampTravelExplore]

44 ft might be tight and the drive up would be a bit tough, but I did see some big coaches there for sure! Many sites would be deep enough!

[@f3verMonkey]

@@CampTravelExplore Georgia State Park reservation web site will not let coaches greater than 40 ft reserve a spot, unfortunately. I do live close by so understand the nature of driving a 44 footer up and down Blood Mountain...
