Bear lake has no weekend openings until the weekend of the 12th, that is why I went with the 12th.

I can guarantee you that you can camp at Wilderness Landing for free. May not say it and there are no specific/designated sites, but a nice open area with lots of tree coverage. Just pick a spot, post up, and enjoy the area. I and many of my friends have done it many times and also in LARGE groups. Not a lot of people know about, kind of a nice hidden secret!

Thank you sir, might swing by there this weekend to check it out and plan a camping trip there later this summer! Have to love a place that is free and you have access to the cool waters of Blackwater River, thanks again!

So the next trip I’m planning is gonna be in either Cheaha State Park or Talladega National Forest or both. Dates I’m not sure about right now, but soon. It’s been too long and I’ve been itching to try out some new gear.

I know how that goes, I got lucky and went into a new section and have weekends off now. Are you able to take a day on weekends? If we did a bbq at a state park somewhere for a meet and greet, we could just do an afternoon kinda deal.

Good, we can take the next month to figure out the place we want and then solidify the date. Anywhere in particular that y’all would wanna do a day trip. I got games and what not to bring too.
