Piney Hills Campground was the perfect place to kick off our road trip! We only stayed one night, but it was exactly what we needed, and I would absolutely stay here again if I'm ever back in the area.
The campground is tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Mauk, Georgia, and has such a charming, relaxing atmosphere. They offer a little bit of everything--primitive campsites, adorable yurts, RV sites, and more comfortable campsites like the one we stayed in.
We stayed at Site 3, which had a nice view of the main house and one of the horses. If you're looking for the best sunset views, I'd recommend requesting Site 4. It has a platform overlooking the small farm and is the perfect spot to enjoy the evening.
One thing people should know is that there is a train nearby, and you'll hear it every 15-30 minutes or so. Unless you're an extremely light sleeper who needs complete silence, I don't think it's an issue. It certainly didn't take away from our experience.
The bathhouse was clean, cute, and had hot showers. My only suggestion for improvement would be the motion-sensor lights--they turn off pretty quickly, so you'll find yourself waving your arms while you're in the shower or even sitting in the restroom to keep the lights on.
There's also a small camp store, which is a nice bonus. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. and left around 10:00 the next morning, so we didn't have a chance to explore everything, but our stay was peaceful, quiet, and very enjoyable.
Thank you to the owners for creating such a welcoming little campground. We truly appreciated the hospitality and loved starting our adventure here. I would definitely recommend Piney Hills Campground and would happily stay here again. read more
