Meet Your Hosts
I would go as far as to say most of the vacations throughout my life have involved camping of some sort… from primitive hike in/hike out to the luxury of an RV motor home or camping cabin.
One of my fondest memories is of a 7 day bicycle camping trip from Gainesville, FL to Gainesville, GA. Without a doubt the Georgia Mountains are great… but it is people that camp make a trip wonderful. Six days in, after a particularly rainy and tiring day of peddling up the road, we set up camp in the Oconee Nat’l Forest. Our camping neighbor found out it was my birthday and built me a campfire cake. (Fire wood is not something you carry on a bicycle) Cozy and warm, we toasted to my birthday, to our new friends, and a few marshmallows. I still keep in touch with them to this day.
I am absolutely ecstatic to be joining the Trinity Lake KOA team in the majestic California Alps. The Lake + The Mountains + The Trees = one Spectacular KOA campground!
