Enota Resort and Campground, Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia
|
| | Enota is more than a campground and mountain retreat - it is a vision for how we should honor the land and each other. My husband, definitely NOT the camper type, loves this place because of its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere and the ever-present babbling brook(s) that borders most of the campsites. We have camped here in our camper van several times in the past 3 years and love to hike up to the AT and the waterfalls, or watch the kids fish for trout in the pond in front of the Lodge The land is pristine, laced with waterfalls and streams |

totally accessible to both RV camping (full hook-ups) or tent camping. The cabins are rustically charming and recently more modern motel-type rooms have been added within view of the waterfall. Some of the structures on this property are CCC-built and the staff also honors Enota's
| | Cherokee heritage as well, with a sweat lodge, sacred circle, drumming and the occasional Native American presenter, who happened to be leading the Sweat Lodge ceremonies when we were there this spring. We discovered that Enota is a non-profit ecological and teaching facility as well, and we campers and cabin folk mingle at the weekend breakfasts in the Lodge with the staff and the volunteers who help run the campgrounds,the gardens or the animal farm. This campground has newly remodeled restrooms and plentiful showers and also has trampolines for the | |

kids (and me!) We were there as a church retreat group was departing and they had a big group sing the evening before in the newly-enclosed pavilion. Occasionally, since I am a musician, I will even lead a sing-along around the campfire in front of the Lodge. Like I said, it's
a family place and even if you come alone, you can join the Enota family for the evening or longer! (Like the volunteers we met.) Says Deb G.
Several folks camp here in order to be in the neighborhood of Unicoi State Park. If only every place had this much outdoors cool
things, what a great globe it would be. A perfect sight of stunning Spaniard Mountain is available from Enota Resort and Campground, and Unicoi State Park is a glorious place to check out on a wonderful day.
