Load the Coach and
Head to Calhoun KOA
The Calhoun KOA is located less than two miles from I-75
in the foothills of the northwestern Georgia mountains
between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
The campground offers pony rides for children and
horseback trail rides through the scenic backwoods for
teens and adults. These compliment the other amenities
not typical of most campgrounds such as the petting zoo,
pet play park, catch and release fishing pond, mini golf,
hayrides, bike rentals, and a game room. Pizza, two kinds
of wings, mozzarella sticks and mushrooms are available
onsite. For those that enjoy it, hot cappuccino is
offered in the coffee shop.

New in 2009 is the western
style banquet hall to handle the technical meetings and
catered meals that are typical of ES rallies. The room
has a full kitchen, 2 restrooms (one is ADA compliant) a
9-foot electric projection screen for movies or
presentations. There's also an attached, outdoor patio in
addition to a covered pavilion with picnic tables.
Not coming to the rally in your TZE coach? That's okay,
Calhoun KOA's upgraded, deluxe kabins are equipped with
cable TV and refrigerator. Or for all the comforts, stay
in a lodge complete with stove, microwave, bathroom,
cable TV and fridge.
