Hard Labor Creek Campground

The Great Outdoors

You might be calling Hard Labor Creek State Park your temporary home, but that doesn’t mean that you’ve seen it in all its splendor. Despite the name, this is an excellent place for relaxing that also has many recreation opportunities such as hiking on miles of trails through the woods, fishing, swimming, and boating by the lake, and don’t forget about birding and geocaching. If you didn’t happen to bring a boat, you could rent one, and the golf course is both challenging and pristine. There’s a pro shop too, in case you forgot your driver.If you want everything that’s great about the area around your RV campground, including fantastic views, deep, green forests, and sparkling streams, then you want to go to Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Hike on trails between tall trees, across many streams and rivers, and there might even be a waterfall or two that you can take a look at. Have a picnic or go on a scenic drive, try your luck panning for gold, or find an overlook for some vistas that just go on and on until they meet the horizon.You might have spotted some animals already but if you’d like to see more, you can drive your camper rental to Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, a beautiful area made up of a large variety of different scenery such as oak, hickory, and pine forest, pine savannah, and wildlife openings where you might spot an animal or two. The birder can hope for sightings of the red-cockaded woodpecker or Bachman’s sparrow, and the wildlife living on the ground include deer, wild turkeys, foxes, and even black bears. Learn more about the environment by reading the panels located around some of the walking trails, and don’t forget your camera in the rental RV.
