Take a break from city life and enjoy a rejuvenating weekend getaway. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Factory Shoals Park, where you can spend a night camping under the mesmerizing, twinkling stars, just a short drive southeast of Atlanta. Enjoy a weekend packed with Sensory Walking Meditations along meandering nature trails, beginner Chi gong, and even Naturalist hikes along challenging riverside trails, and Geocache adventures! We will finish off our nights with a campfire and ghost stories from the local area.

The park has an abundance of flora and fauna making it an ideal location for bird watching and photography. Beginner trails and rugged hiking trails are all scenic, including features of granite outcroppings, mature forests along the river, as well as ruins from 19th century water powered factories that once lined the riverbanks. The park has a historic site marker and rich with war history. As the soothing sounds of the river lulls you to sleep, dont forget to look up at the night sky where you might even spot a shooting star from the Orionid and Taurid meteor showers.

You will need to provide your own tent and camping gear. RV sites are also available. The campground has bathrooms and showers near the campsites. If you like fishing, be sure to bring your fishing pole and try catching your own dinner! You will need to have a current GA fishing license.

Limited spots are available.  Check in Friday 10/25/24  Check out Sunday 10/27/24
