Stone Mountain is rich in confederate history. Gutzon Borglum, the sculpture of Mt. Rushmore, started a carving into the side of the mountain and intended to have an image of thousands of people. The work was halted and blasted away and finally completed in is present form in 1972. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Mountain for more information about this interesting part of American history.
Hundreds of camping sites are carved into the ridges surrounding a large lake with many coves. The shaded plots are close and the roadway is filled with potholes but the place is worth the inconveniences.
Ray and Pam bought a 1975 Winnebago Chieftain for $4,000 and had it repainted for about $6,000. They've replaced the old counter tops and appliances and enjoy taking it on trips.
