You may be thinking of Allens Fish Camp. It is also a viable option for RVs and the only site that I know of that rents cabins (though the website only gives prices for monthly rentals on the cabins). I gave them a call today for more information but maybe being Presidents' Day, I wasn't able to talk with anyone. I will follow up with them, if no one else has, when I get back into port and have cell signal again. The link is below.

Found it on gosur dot com. George Cir, next to Pisgal rd on 471. Trees look older and cabins behind the tennis courts. A little farther from the water, long way to tote a boat.

That's the one. I said wrong in my previous post. It's Allens Creek Resort, not Allens Fish Camp.

It's roughly one mile from the Goshen Springs Campground and Boat Ramps.

I found this on your link.
Due to high demand, our cabins are rented out by the month.

Let the boy wrap his brain around it for a spell, before we kill him with questions on lodging. This ole boy on a ship somewhere, me and you standing on dry feet at least hope you are Jimmy and ain't playing in the fire pit again :Rofl

Looking at gosur dot com at Goshen Springs campground. The loop I said earlier is almost total shade and is on the canal to their boat ramp. The loop with N8-N20 has lots of shade. A dumpster between N14-N15. A bit farther from the water.
I guess Tommy's is across the hwy from the campground. All campsites are sunny. Both ramps look in need of repairs. The improvements they show on their website aren't on gosur yet.

I was on a ladder between showers today, measuring the trim on the house. To much of a chance of rain so I didn't get the boards. It was coming down pretty good when I got home so no fire.

Not being an RV guy myself I am not up to speed on what would make a certain spot better than another. I'm assuming shade is a good thing to regulate your interior temperature.

I have no idea as to the condition of the ramps within the Campground and I wouldn't be too surprised if they are somewhat neglected. Simply because the Campground shares a property line with Goshen Springs Landing which is the largest launch site on the lake. It is very well maintained and has three separate multilane ramps with plenty of parking. I would say it is the best public launch facility on the lake. Certainly the most popular with fisherman. The campgrounds back entrance/exit (the road which goes by the managers residence) exits straight into the landing maybe 100 feet from the campground.

Tommy's is on the same property as the Landing, adjacent too and on the same side of the Hwy as the Campground.

Last time I was in the campground the ramps there were in excellent shape. Much better than any of our COE ramps. Good luck on getting a spot on that canal, canebreaker. Like Snubby said give MidMs some breathing room and a chance to get things organized.

Tommys trading post has the best ramps around. They installed floating docks to a couple years back. It's in a protected inlet as well so no fear of sinking your boat with high winds. ONLY problem I have there is the Minners at time. I always use Mediums. One time you go they have be 2" long and the next day, they be an inch long. Good breakfast but not many seats. may hold 30 people eating at the same time
