- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Vogel State Park is one of the oldest in the State of Georgia and one of the most well liked by locals and especially Floridians who flock to this 2,280 foot elevation park to escape the humid summer heat of Florida. It is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains at the base of Blood Mountain. The park lies in the middle of the Chattahoochee National Forest and is one of the richest botanical areas in Georgia.
The park covers 233 acres and features 22 acre Lake Trahlyta which was built in the 1930s by the CCC and named after an Indian princess. The lake is available for fishing year round. The park provides 103 tent & RV sites, most with water & electrical hook-ups. There are 4 comfort stations in the campgrounds and 2 dump stations. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boats are available for rent.
Such a pleasant video! Y'all made me want to go camp there!
Yes Marcia, it's a beautiful campground and State Park (the oldest in Georgia). We've camped there twice (there are two videos on our channel) :-) If you do want to camp there I'd recommend making reservations, it's a popular place :-) Thanks for watching.
Probably my favorite place to camp. I want to camp there now, but it's too cold!
We stopped by there last week on our way back from the Chattahoochee National Forest where we were camping (videos to follow shortly) to use their dump station and check out the new bath houses and the weather was beautiful. This week we're heading up to the Carter's Lake area and although a bit of rain in the forecast, the temperatures are perfect for camping. The beginning of November is showing high 60s with lows in the mid 50s so still great for camping. Note: We have another more recent video on the channel from another trip to Vogel :-)
@@TravelswithYoly oh okay.
What time of year did you shoot this video? I am use to seeing more people down by lake.
I posted the video at the end of August and I remember meeting people from Florida who were escaping the heat there so I'm guessing it was August of 2015. We camped there again with a fellow truck camper in November of 2017 and it was much the same ......

Always loooking for recommendations, especially close to home ... thank you. I'll check it out when we get back from Colorado :-)
@@TravelswithYoly woah Colorado is far away.
@@sealy1 Yes, as a matter of fact it is 1500 miles to the Colorado border on Interstate 70 from here :-)
@@TravelswithYoly wow.
Living the life!
+Interesting Ted That's what retirement is all about .... if you don't have grand kids (and we don't) , you just have fun traveling, playing video games and making videos :-)
Do yall still have a camper?
Believe it or not, I just saw your comment this morning ! Usually I get a notification of new comments and I usually respond soon after. Sorry about that and yes, we still have a camper :-)
nice place
+Hike with Mike Thank you once again Mike. I'm really enjoying my home state's parks and now wonder why it took me so long to discover them :-) Both of these parks are less than an hour from our house and we've driven past them many times !
Been there many, many times as a kid. Many years ago.
Vogel State Park has been around for a very long time (one of the two oldest in Georgia). We've been there twice now ourselves :-)
Yep.....it was there in the early and mid 50's when I was there. I went to a YMCA camp every summer not far from there and they brought us over in the back of a big truck to swim and spend the day some times. I grew up just north of Atlanta.
I'm going there tomorrow!!!! Eek!!!
The afternoon looks like it will be nice but the evening and mornings might be a bit brisk :-)
@@TravelswithYoly wow I love your channel Soo much! And thank u for the info! Btw was that a waterfall in the thumbnail? 😃
@@lpscami6758 Yes, the thumbnail is of the waterfall in the park. You can see it if you watch the video. Here's another video I made of a different visit to the park .....

@@TravelswithYoly ok! And yes I did watch the video it's really cool and the sound of the creek seems really relaxing 😊😂
Any suggestions on which sites are the best ?
+Jason Harper As you drive down the road through the campground (there's a turn-around at the end) there's a creek on the right hand side. All the sites on that side back up to the creek and you get to hear the natural sound of burbling water throughout the day and evening. The sites on the other side are nice sites but you can't hear the creek.
Which are the tent sites that have this water feature? Thank you
in advance!
