Scenic Campgrounds in Georgia, South Carolina, or North Florida
Wife and I are thinking about going somewhere in November.
I don't know what the weather is like in Georgia, South Carolina, or North Florida around that time but was looking for really nice scenic campgrounds.
We had some bad luck in July that isn't allowing me to drive until September which caused us to cancel summer camping trips.
so we want to treat ourselves to something nice so we can make up for it.
We did check Disney but nothing available. Also we thought about going to Key West but not sure about the distance and I'm sure things are full.
Thanks for all recommendations.Allen & Denise

The best mtn view we have had is in NC, just outside of Asheville at Mama Gerties on the top tier. Not cheap but the view was great. Climbing your trailer up the hill is not for the faint at heart.. But very doable with a diesel.
Getting a spot in the fall might be difficult with half the world out there in RVs right now. Don't wait to reserve soon as you find what you're looking for

Crooked River a GA state park is off I-95 one mile north of the GA / FL line. It is on the crooked
river and adjacent to Kings Bay Sub base.
We spend 2 weeks there every January and enjoy it.
The CG has 2 loops one loop has full hookups.
The second loop does not have sewer.
Hope this helps:

Another CG at PineIsle on Lake Lanier in North GA. It is called Margaritaville and connected to Jimmy Buffett.
They have developed a mini Disney with CG, Restaurants, boating and many other
activities. If you are looking for lots to do it might work. If you want peace and quiet it may not be for you.
There is Youtube videos on all the CG's.

You don't have to go any farther than East TN, Western NC, NW SC or Northeast Georgia to find fine campgrounds and mountain vistas.
The nicest is probably Anchor Down Campground in Dandridge, TN--just off I-40 in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. That area has dozens of commercial campgrounds, but Anchor Down is the newest and nicest.

I lived in the CSRA (Central Savannah River Area) for 26 years and have camped all over the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, and north Florida (including the panhandle). There is quite a range in winter weather between the upstate Carolinas/east Tennessee and Florida. You can expect nights to dip below freezing in the Smokey Mountains while it's still very warm on the coasts. The Piedmont and places in between can vary a lot depending on weather fronts. All this said, the Smokey Mountains are one of the most beautiful places in the country in the fall (though November is a bit late for the foliage).
Unless you go urban, it's hard to find an ugly place to stay in the areas described. There are many large lakes in Georgia and the Carolinas with numerous campgrounds around them. Some places in the Smokey's close down the end of October, but you can usually find some that are still open year round (if you can get a spot in them these days). Plan way ahead and make reservations - whatever you decide to do.
I usually start out with this web site:
https://www.rvparky.com/
Find places in areas you want to visit and read the reviews.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions and input.
We are checking each one of them to see what we can do.
There is a new RV Resort going in at Hilton Head that might open in November.
If so we might try to get in there to try it out before everybody starts coming.Allen & Denise
