Pine Lake Campground, Bishop, Georgia
By Jack Kean
 Nestled in a thickly-wooded area twelve miles south of
Athens, Georgia, you will find a small, family-run RV park that provides all
the basics and quite a few surprises. We had a heavily shaded, level, gravel
lot overlooking a small lake, with free Wi-Fi.
There are 30 sites surrounding two small lakes. Some of
the surprises include nature trails, fishing and several humorous exhibits you
will find while enjoying one of the nature trails. The exhibits include: a
closed down still, a rattler’s cage and the nudist colony. You will want to
visit the “Bob White” family while strolling about. There is also a pet area
with a fire hydrant for your pet.
If you have a group, there is a screened building next to
one of the lakes with tables set up for eating. You will also find a playground
area for children. Some tent camping is allowed.
Each of the 30 sites includes water, electricity and
sewage disposal. The showers were clean and had plenty of hot water. There is a
small laundry if needed.
Due to the heavily wooded nature of the RV park, satellite
TV reception might be difficult. You can pull in several channels with your
antenna, though reception is only perfect if you speak Spanish fluently; i.e., on
Univision.
Bring cash to pay for your site. We paid $24 per night,
and they advertise rates from $24 to $28 per night. Friendly, on-site owners
make this a great undiscovered RV park if you are in the Athens, Georgia,
area.
