To MAPQUEST YOUR DRIVE:
Use the destination address
900 Hwy 356, Helen, GA 30545
(The State Park entrance is actually #1788, but MapQuest does not offer that option, it’s only another mile up from the South, and there are plenty of signs)
Here’s a great aerial shot of the area
Comments from campers - 1999 - 2006:
“. . . the weekend was very powerful for us. ... I experienced things I did not know I was capable of and as for [son], well, what can I say?... WOW!” G.F. Oklahoma
“The energy at the camp was incredible. It is very healing. I think all of us came away a little more enlightened.” V. P. Virginia
