Spring in the Mountains

Dogwoods and Azaleas
|
|
A rainy winter here in the North Georgia Mountains has produced a spectacular spring. The dogwoods are blooming, dotting the mountains. The rose and pink azaleas are blazing before we know it.
Check out all there is to do and see in White County including Alpine Helen and the Sautee Nacoochee Valley. There is something for everyone - hiking trails, waterfalls, kayaking and canoeing, vineyards and tasting rooms, folk potters, gold panning, historical sites, artists and craftsman, great food, and our spectacular natural beauty is visible around every turn.
We offer full hook-up sites for your travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel camper. Some of our RV sites are right on the fishing pond and all sites are shady. Many of our tent camping sites are on Jenny's Creek or the fishing pond. Tent sites are separated from the RV sites. We also have sites perfect for your pop-up camper.
Interesting Fact: A Jenny is a female mule. Long ago, the mules used in the area's gold mining and timbering were kept along our creek. In time, it became known as Jenny's Creek.
Thanks to all our wonderful camping guests. Hope to see you again soon.

Wi-Fi Limitations
|

|
And a Solution
|
|
|
We are pleased to offer free in-park Wi-Fi to our campers. Our network provider is Windstream and our Wi-Fi router is located in our office. Our band width is being shared by our business and all campers who are accessing it at any given time.
If you are having a problem getting on the internet, it’s always easier to blame the Wi-Fi provider. It’s almost as frustrating as forgetting to pack your toothbrush. You are stuck with no connection to the outside world and wonder how on earth did you ever survive without it.
Well, to be fair, most of us do not understand the limitations of our own devices. It may not always be the Wi-Fi provider's fault that we have little to no connection. I would be willing to bet 98 percent of us do not understand the capabilities of our own laptops, smartphone or tablets. If we did, we might not complain as much.
The antenna built into your laptop was designed for ‘in-home’ use, not for a commercial application size, like a campground. Don’t confuse getting online at McDonald's or Starbucks with your built-in devices because the experience is not even remotely the same as getting online at a campground.
The built-in antenna is just not strong enough, nor was it built to go through the metal siding of an RV unit, trees, or travel 50-plus yards to the router. It would be nice, but it just won’t happen. Understand that your laptop antenna was made to travel approximately 25 feet and no more. And, your iPad, e-reader, smart phone etc. all have even less powerful antennas than your laptop.
Instead of being frustrated and angry with the provider, let's become Wi-Fi educated. What can you do to make your laptops, smartphones and tablets able to access the internet at campgrounds?
There is no remedy for the existing antenna built into your computer, because building it stronger would cause concerns about brain tumors and such. Luckily, there are external antennas especially made for long range Wi-Fi at your disposal. There are antennas that are 32 times stronger than what’s built into your devices, that will amplify the signal, grab onto it and make it possible to enjoy the Wi-Fi service and not want to throw your computer at the wall. These delightful devices can be quite small, and plug into an ethernet or USB port. Also, these devices can cost under $50.
If you can't live without internet access, arm yourself with an external antenna booster.
