Banning Mills, GA

There was a review of this in last Sunday paper. Sounds like an interesting place to visit interesting - with or without all the adventure. There is an RV Park too which is reasonably priced.

This is a beautiful CG. I like the more natural ones over the ones with concrete for as far as the eye can see. No zip line for me! Really afraid of heights.

They only take reservations at the rv park if you're gonna do a zip line or one of their other adventures.

That's what I read too. I know I won't be staying there because of that, but I thought it is beautiful.

So, Sharon, when will we plan a zipline adventure there?

(Unfortunately, might be a long time before I get that far east again - but hopefully will zipline again long before that.)

Hey, I'm up for it! :lol: Their prices are reasonable, too! We'll find another place one of these days and meet up for a trip thru the trees!

Beth, a friend of mine did her first zipline while in Alaska. I think I want to do this. If 80 year olds jump out of airplanes (showing their complete backside) I can do a zipline. No repelling or jumping out of perfectly good airplanes for me! Right now I have a westward mindset but this park looks like a place I want to go. They have some restrictions but understandable too.
