If your family is looking for a relaxing, outdoorsy getaway with plenty of awesome sightseeing, the 750,000- acre Chattahoochee National Forest in northern Georgia is the place to go. It spans Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and contains the Cohutta Wilderness area, which offers recreation for the whole family and accommodations for every family’s style.
Accommodations
If you like roughing it, reserve a site at Fort Mountain State Park’s campground located at the top of the 2,800-foot high Fort Mountain. Amenities include electricity, water, shower houses with flush toilets and gravel camping sites with scenic views. Nearby Amicalola Falls State Park offers a smaller campground with similar amenities.
If camping isn’t your style, Fort Mountain and Amicalola Falls state parks offer spacious one- to three bedroom cottages with bathrooms. Cabins can also be found in nearby private parks.
Can’t give up the conveniences of modern living? Book a room with a panoramic view at one of the lodges nestled in the mountains at Amicalola Falls or atop Fort Mountain. Lodges offer casual dining and other hotel services.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
