We are planning a group trip for the weekend of May 2 – 5, 2024 to Pickwick Landing State Park in Counce TN
This is about 400 miles away – a 6/7 hour ride.
This is a very nice facility that has a lot to offer in the way of accommodations, places to see and areas to ride.
Accommodations:
Lodge – We did not block rooms. Currently rooms are about $153/night. To make your reservation, you can call the lodge directly or do it online.Cancellations must be made 48 hours prior to arrival in order to receive a 100% refund of the deposit. Any cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance will forfeit the deposit. The longer you wait to book a room the more it may cost. The lady I spoke with told me “the fuller we get, the higher the rate”.
Cabins – I have reserved one cabin that we may use as sort of a host cabin. There is a grill and a picnic area. We are thinking that we may grill one evening for the group. You can look into staying in a cabin if you think that you like that. (There are only 2 cabins still available for that weekend.)
Camping – The main Pickwick Landing State Park campground offers 48 sites within a beautiful wooded area. The park also offers a primitive campground located north of Pickwick Lake with 33 primitive sites. I was thinking that some of you might want to group together and rent one of the RV campsites – they have water and power – and can be close to a restroom. If interested, you can check out what sites are available for the dates and book what you’d like. You might ask how many tents are allowed…I did see a limit of 6 people per site.
As we get closer to the date, we will publish details about a group ride.
