Next we drove south through Georgia to Augusta area to camp at one of our all-time favorite campgrounds. This site was one of the best ever! We were fortunate to get a real lakeside site, which has an easy path to the water. We did get on the lake a few times to paddle around and Luca went with us. We are were able to keep our kayaks right there on the lakefront beach and have quick access. So spacious, not any close campers. There are trails within the property of this Army Corps Lake. The Bartram Trail is a 32 mile, fun forest bike ride or a great hike. Much of this trail runs along the lakefront, with great views of the water and boats on the lake. Also, nearby is FATS (Fork Area Trail System) where there are highly rated mountain bike trails that are challenging and fun. There was also interesting objects on the trail as shown in one picture. Every time we camp here, the sunsets are always amazing and beautiful!  Luca loves it here, he can roam around our site and do a little "hunting". The weather was mostly perfect, just a couple of days a little rain. We stayed here for 9 days, then we will head south to Florida.
