Want to try the Forest Service Campgrounds, but a little apprehensive.

Same here. 

Last year, I drove into three different FS campgrounds:

[li]Desoto Falls - Nice, accessible, creek access suitable for our girls to play in.[/li]
[li]Dockery Lake - Secluded, 1 mile rough access road.  Not sure I want to take out minivan back in there while towing the camper.[/li]
[li]Lake Winfield Scott - Nice, accessible, lake with shower house.  Seems like this would be a good first forray into FS camping.[/li]

I haven't stayed in any of these campgrounds.  But we're interested in experiencing both Desoto Falls and Lake Winfield Scott.

You guys just let me know when you want to come up to my neck of the woods and give em a try. If I'm off that weekend we'll keep ya company.  Even bring you propane if needed.  Lol

Life is short so camp hard.

Welcome aboard, metro6775. As for us, we have never camped with no hookups but could if we had to with our TrailManor. We just never opted since we're older, retired, and like the conveniences. ;D

Georgia state parks and, of course, the Corps of Engineers CGs, have water, electric, and either sewers or dump stations. They vary in condition, especially the SPs, but all we have visited have been terrific. As for A/C in the summer in GA, you might want to read the topics on portable A/Cs, but we find lakefront sites and a fan to be somewhat comfortable. I do admit, however, that having A/C at night on some trips has been important to sleep.

Hope you can come to our Southeast Fall Rally, Sept. 5-7, at McKinney Campground on Lake Allatoona. It's a great group of friends, old and new, who are all different ages, some with kids and not, dogs/cats and not, and always fun things for kids and adults with an outstanding Potluck and other goodies.

How do you all do it with no hookups? 

I haven't yet.  But it has a certain allure to me.  Perhaps going back to my scouting days. 

The FS campgrounds that I mentioned above all have toilets (at leat pit toilets), and I think Lake Winfiled Scott even has water spigots at various places throughout the camping loops and showers at the bathhouse near the beach.

Idog, we are camping Thurs.-Sun. at Moccasin Creek SP next week if you want to come along. We'll try to get a site close to the creek when we drive through to pick a spot. I'd have to look at the map again to pin it down if there are sites available when we get there because you probably know you cannot reserve a specific site in a state park.  🙁  First come, first served.
