26 May 2025, Memorial Day, Albany, Georgia to Andersonville RV Park, Andersonville, Georgia Jeeps – 1 (ours) Before we left Albany, we decided to walk to the park office and tell whoever was there how beautiful their park was. It is one of the nicest we have stayed at. The owners, a husband-and-wife team, were so kind and thankful that we loved our stay. We talked for about twenty minutes. They have good friends who live south of Portland. They would love to visit Oregon someday. I don’t know why we didn’t get their names.
