alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 This is on our to do list. Hubby found a reference to it on another site and I knew we had Fiends who have already been here. How cool is that?Anyway, do you think we should do this in July/August or December between Christmas and New Year? It will be a 2 day drive, so this will be a week or more trip.

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 We went in late July/beginning of August a couple years ago and had a great time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Not hotter than Disney? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I haven't been to Disney in those months so, I can't compare. Also for us we are already here so, we are just used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I told hubby it wasn't. What is the weather like in the winter time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Usually mild, but two years ago we woke up to snow on Christmas morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I would probably pick winter. LRC and Desoto are prettier when there is some rain. The many small and large falls would be running. Winter temps in the day could be in the 20's or 60's or anywhere in between. I have found the temps on Lookout Mtn to be 5-10 colder than the surrounding area most of the year....not withstanding temp inversions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thank you. Not too much different than Southern KY. That is were my inlaws live and we usually spend Christmas break there. I'm thinking we will do Christmas with them and then head out the next day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 FWIW, I prefer spring....mild temps, flowering rhodo and mtn laurel, full creeks, etc, etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmm, the kids do get a spring break and less chance of snow keeping us from leaving Ohio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

libba 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 This is our FAV place in Alabama and it is one of the better state parks. They totally redid the campgrounds a few years ago - before the money to state parks ran dry. Others are not so great for RVs. Cheaha is terrible if you are in an RV but if you like to tent camp is a wonderful spot. We have also been to Lake Guntersville - it was hit by the April 27th tornadoes and is just starting to come back. No trees anymore thought thanks to the storms.Wind Creek State park at Lake Martin is beautiful but in some areas too crowded.( we loved the upper loop). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
