IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
The main reenactor parking has been moved to the area below the Civil Air Patrol HQ for your convenience and for a much shorter walk to camp. A trail head at the back of this area leads to the CS Campaign camp. A new foot bridge over the creek connects the Campaigner area and the static CS Camp, allowing easier access to the Sutlers.
-
Due to liability issues, the Resaca Event Staff shall not allow reenactors OR the public the personal use of any type of recreation four-wheelers, off road motorcycles, golf carts or similar type vehicles to operate on site. Transportation will be provided to and from the spectator and handicapped parking areas.
-
Due to certain troop camp locations, the Resaca Event Staff will not allow MODERN CAMPING areas for RV vehicles, campers or modern tentage, etc. Modern camping is available at the KOA Campground (10 minutes away) located just off I-75 (Exit 315 - Red Bud Road) at 2523 Red Bud Road N.E. The phone number is: 706-629-7511.
-
A very limited number of MODERN CAMPING space will be available for GDRA members only (sorry, NO EXCEPTIONS).
-
The Boy Scout camp is still available upon advanced approval.
We are sorry for these inconveniences. Thank you for your cooperation.
