Georgia’s New Camping Club
Saves Tent Travelers Money
Loyalty Program Offered by
Georgia’s State Parks
ATLANTA,
March 11, 2013
-- Sleeping under the stars has always been a budget-friendly way
to explore the Peach State and enjoy a vacation. Now Georgia’s State
Parks are making the price tag even more appealing by offering a new loyalty
program just for tent campers. GeoCamp
club members earn every tenth night of camping for free, and there’s no cost
for membership.
The
program includes 38 state
parks in Georgia, including Unicoi near Helen, Red Top Mountain on Lake
Allatoona, Skidaway Island outside Savannah and Reed Bingham in Adel. All
campgrounds feature hot showers, laundry facilities, grills, picnic tables and
space for campfires. A variety of tent campsites allow guests to choose
their amenities, from water and electric hookups right at the site, to more
remote “walk-in” sites that afford extra privacy. Nightly rates average
around $15 for primitive sites to $25 for hookup sites.
“Our
new GeoCamp program is a way to thank tent campers who are such great
supporters of Georgia’s state parks,” said State Park Director Becky Kelley.
“We want to recognize them for their loyalty and to let them know we
value their business. We also want to spotlight how tent camping can be
an affordable way for families to spend spring break and summer
vacation.”
Campers
can pick up free membership cards from state park offices. There’s no
time limit to stay nine nights and earn the tenth night free. GeoCamp is
open to tent campers only because Georgia State Parks have a separate loyalty
club for RV and camper owners.
Vacationing
in Georgia’s state parks allows outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy fishing, hiking,
biking, disc golf, geocaching and beautiful scenery right outside their door.
Most parks offer animal programs, guided nature walks, battle
re-enactments, kids crafts, outdoor concerts and many other events throughout
the year. For those who prefer a soft bed rather than a sleeping bag, the
parks rent cabins, yurts, lodge rooms and even group facilities. To learn
