Lake Conasauga Camping trip sep 24th-sep25th

ok man!

 

We were up there August 6-7 and it is still first come, cash only, $15/night. There were signs saying it is changing to online reservations, but not sure when that's going to happen. Probably next season. I personally like the first come system up there because reservations are just going to cause conflict and there is no cell service at the lake (you can get a couple bars on Grassy and Potato Patch Mtn). First come makes it easy to watch the nice spots and move camp if a better one opens up.

One of the regular CG hosts (Tim) is pretty good about bringing a load of split wood. He said he would be back in Sept., so check beside the host cabin to see if there's a wood pile before you try to cut your own wood. You need USFS certification (AKA "fire card") to run a power saw in a CG or on marked trails.

 

awesome! Yea last time we went to GA traverse we rode from SC side back west towards loop and a couple of those campgrounds inside the forests were reservation which threw us for a loop.. We actually ended up having to move because someone showed up with a reservation.

2 weeks out guys!

 

The lake trip was canceled this weekend, so I should have money for this trip

 

Sweet!

 

I would like to try to get in on those. Just bought a Feel Free Moken Ive only got to take out once this year so far.

 

Ill add you to the list.

 

Does anyone know if there are grills at the sites or would i be better off bringing a portable one?

 

I don't recall any. I don't even remember if the fire pits had a fold over grate.

 

Any wheeling in the surrounding areas? Not too familiar with GA trails anymore as all of the ones I remember are closed. But I'm planning to head up Friday afternoon if anybody else wants to join up early

 

I'm thinking about bringing the bike. I just haven't convinced myself to put it in the bed as of right now

 

They did have grates but no stand up grills

 

I'm bringing the last of that red oak I have. I'll also have the chainsaw incase we need to cut up any more

 

@johntoyota
You coming?

 

https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/conf/recarea/?recid=10533 looks like temporarily closed to allow trails to dry could be open by the time of trip.

 

I wash thinking of buying an electric chainsaw.

 

Im not a big Ryobi fan but the 40v chainsaw has been on my radar.
