A two-day drive of 572 miles to this place was easy and pleasant. Many people passing through Georgia use the interstate highway system and miss much of the beauty of this state. We compromised, using I-75 for half of the trip to North Georgia. From Macon GA, we followed Hwy. 129 north to Eatonton GA, then Hwy. 441 through Madison, Athens (home of the University of Georgia), Commerce and Clarksville GA. It’s a straight shot and we avoided the traffic hassle around Atlanta.
Paradise Valley Campground is not like your usual RV park with densely packed sites on slivers of land. Here, 290 owners own their own sites which vary in shape and size -- up to 1 acre for the largest. A trout stream runs through the middle of the community. About ten percent of the lots are for sale. Many owners have constructed sheds, screen houses and decks to enhance their RV lifestyle. Also many have beautiful gardens and good landscaping improvements which further add to the beauty of the place. Therefore the asking prices vary from $30,000 to well over $100,000 (only 8 of these).
This community is all sold out and showing the pride of ownership. It is well-conceived and organized with condo docs, a board of directors and an architectural committee which must approve every project. Communications keep everyone up to date. See: www.pvc4u.net
We are in the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Appalachian Trail and the North Carolina border. The mountain views are awesome and available almost around every bend in the road. We’ve been all over America and discovered this area only a few years ago.
In Florida the weather has been hot and humid -- quite uncomfortable. We we arrived here yesterday, the temp was 90 but it felt like 70F. The difference is the humidity or the lack of it -- very comfortable. This morning the temp was 60 and Palmetto FL was showing 70 due to a cold front coming through the area. The difference in comfort feels great.
Probably the best thing about Paradise Valley Campground is that Lois loves it here. She has said many times she is so happy to be here and that is just great. We’re both happy to be away from Sun Key Village for a while and to be in a nice place like this.
We first learned about this place at the 2008 Tampa RV Show in January, picked up a folder, looked into it and visited for a week in April. That did it for us. We have rented two months this summer. The fun is about to begin.
