We had a wonderful time at Giorgio’s campsite at Little River Adventures. The pitches are well laid out with picnic tables and fire rings. There is a bathhouse with a hot shower and toilet. Giorgio and Tiffany were great hosts and we enjoyed a morning on his XT 250 trail bikes that he rents out for some truly awesome trail rides. Bikes are very, very well maintained and Giorgio is a great teacher. The area around the site is beautiful with plenty of great sights, and Fort Payne is a great little town to visit.
