Turniptown Lake is delightful enough to spend more than a day at, Nelly Plum Campground is a delightful local campground, and in the event that you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Cartecay River. The high level of rain makes Turniptown Lake a rather wet spot; during March this area sees the most rain, and the driest month is October. This lake is so wonderful.

 | I have been going to this since I was a little boy...I'm 37 now. It is a wonderful campground.

Lake Conasauga Campground
 | 18 miles away ...hosting at Lake Conasauga for the last few years I am very upset about the way people are treating the facilities offered there. As this area grows in popularity, and more and more people use it, I am saddened by the way this beautiful lake and mountian is being abused and trashed. The catch phrase ''Leave only your footprints'' applies to all US National Forests for a reason. One can only assume that you use this camping area for it's beauty and freshness, so why then do so many people leave it in such a mess? To have to pick up over 50 bags of trash, often left scattered about after a non-holiday weekend, is unreasonable. I don't mean to rant or nag, but, it isn't that hard to put a grocery bag in you pocket when fishing along the lake trail and walk out with the trash you create. The hosts in most camp grounds are volunteers and are unpaid. They pay for all of their own expenses to be there in order to keep the grounds and restrooms clean and stocked. So, PLEASE, read and obey the rules posted. Few places are as beautiful as our National Parks, please lets all make that small effo... |

We started the hike around 9:30PM and got to the broad summit of Big Frog shortly after midnight in 2 inches of snow and the wind had to be 25mph or so. Hunter ... |
