This is one of the best places to go camping, especially if you’re looking for a beginner solo camping or hiking because you get the fuel of truly camping with our having the worry of anything goes wrong Than you’re absolutely stuck. There is a Dollar General five minutes away and so this is a great introduction campsite.

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)

We had a great weekend at Gary's campground while exploring Helen and Mount Yonah. Gary was a very responsive host, the breakfast options were great, and the site is an easy drive to both Helen and Yonah. It's dog friendly, the campsite is thoughtfully set up, and we appreciated the hot shower and clean restroom. For anyone considering a stay, a few things to know before you go. Gary's dogs may come visit off leash, so plan ahead if your pup is reactive, and you may hear occasional barking. The campsite is about 100 yards from the host's residence, so it's not fully secluded. You'll also need to text Gary before showering so he can turn the water on. Overall, a lovely weekend stay!

Adorable secluded area in the woods that we enjoyed so much. We wanted to hike some parks and waterfalls with our poodles and this was the perfect place to stay and unwind. The poodles were able to run around off leash and even were greeted and joined by Cookie, one of Gary's dogs that has the best smile of any dog I've ever met. My poodles love friends so it was a bonus for us that they got to make and play with new friends! Gary is incredibly responsive and make sure you don't sleep on his breakfast! Absolutely delicious, I had the french toast and my husband had the farmers skillet breakfast. Wonderful way to start the day before heading off to burn those calories hiking in the mountains. I loved having electricity in the tent so we could charge our phones at night.
