Still celebrating yesterday's win. Looking forward to next week!
I can not like this post.
However, I will be cheering for Georgia in the final.. it pains me to say that, but my hate for Bama is stronger than anything else.
Frame this!
Is your campsite nearby?

No, that is a day use area for picnics. It is about 20 miles from Elkmont Campground.
I’ll add some camping pics...
Sunman, IN. We’ve gone the past 3 years.. the first year I was determined to stay in a tent, even though we had a camper onsite. It was my first time tent camping. I was super proud of myself for putting up a tent. (Insta-tent)
Fishing didn’t go as well.. only thing I hooked was my hand.
The past 2 years we chose to stay in the camper.. but we never turned on the tv.

I was pulling for Alabama last night, which never happens, because I want to beat Alabama more than I want to beat Clemson.

I do want to go camping more.. real camping. The place in Indiana is great.. but it’s more “Resort camping”.. pools, mini golf, tennis, basketball, etc.
I think T is old enough now to branch out. Red River Gorge is on my To-Do List this year, but I’m more interested in a tree house there, not sure if I’m skilled enough for it though.lol. I hope we make it. I may try one of the places in your photos!
@epcotisbest , you may be able to tackle this. It sounds so amazing to me.

Our most adventuresome rental!
If you are looking for an adventure, or the most romantic bedroom the Gorge has to offer, then you will want to check this tree house out. The Observatory tree house is not for everyone, but it might be the most magical slumber you will ever sleep (seriously). This off the grid (and very high off of the ground) arboreal abode boasts three separate rooms connected by floating walkways and ship ladders. The glass bedroom is designed for star gazing, and sits 50 feet above the Gorge floor. It looks out over the Red River Valley and is home to a high-powered telescope, you can see further into the Cosmos than any other stay in the Gorge!!!
To get to The Observatory, you must hike up over 200 steps that ascend steeply into the trees! If you are out of breath reading this and would prefer a shorter approach, you may want to consider staying in our other tree house, The Sylvan Float. Once you reach the gear room, you will find an instruction manual which will explain how to use the kitchen crane to hoist coolers and food (we also have a 75 L YETI cooler that lives on the kitchen porch for your use), operate the solar power, describe how we built this tree house, and tell you all about the 5 host trees you will be staying with. From the gear room, you can climb up through the floor of the cozy kitchen and be delighted by the views to come.
Building this tree house is a dream come true for the Canopy Crew, and I am so excited to share it. I would argue that this is one of the coolest tree house rentals in the world. This is a true canopy experience and it should be noted that it might be too adventurous for some!
Once you trek up to your new home in the swaying Eastern White Pine, you may feel exposed to the unforgettable raw nature of the canopy! This tree house is designed for able-bodied folks and is NOT meant for unsupervised or small children.
Features include:
Small kitchen with gas stove and heat, with a 75 L YETI cooler to hold your cold goods (ice not provided)
Open air, screened in gear and bedroom for guests or kiddos
A glass ceiling master bedroom for two
A crane for hoisting coolers and sleeping gear up to the upper levels
A small solar array with lights and phone chargers
A composting toilet
The best view of the Gorge proper any rental currently offers!
Things of note:
This tree house is designed for two, but does have additional room for kids or two extra guests. Not all of the rooms are heated and there are various degrees of indoor/outdoor spaces. There are solar powered lights in the upper rooms, but flashlights or headlamps are needed.

That looks really nice and sounds like a lot of fun, but way too pricey for me. Elkmont is $20 per night, more in my price range. Our actual all time favorite camping spot is closer to home, and is the smallest state park in Georgia, Moccasin Creek State Park. Check it out if you get a chance.

Elkmont is a long way from resort camping. It is a National Park campground and is very much real camping. No pools, mini golf, any of that stuff. Heck it does not even have showers. There are bathrooms with cold running water, but the actual campsites have no water or electricity. To shower, the camp rangers will provide you with a list of local commercial, resort campgrounds where you can go and use their showers for a nominal charge. That works out fine for us. The other campgrounds are used to providing day use showers for National Park campers, so it is not an unusual thing, and the charge is only about $5 per person to shower there. Real camping.
