Alright, well I just got off the phone with the people at Under the Hemlock, the campsite by Amicalola, and it seems like the best bet.
Each individual campsite has tentspace, a fire pit, and a parking space. (There are more spaces a little farther away for extra vehicles.) The campground has a bathhouse with showers and bathrooms and all that, and they're really close to Amicalola.
Unfortunately, each campsite has a maximum of 5 people, and there are currently 6 people on the list, so we'd need at least 2 campsites. I don't really think that's a problem though.
Depending on how the numbers add up and how many people are at each individual campsite, the cost will be around $33 or $34 total (per night), and I figure that's less than $12/person if we all split it. Of course, I also don't know how many people are going to want to camp Friday night or just meet up Saturday morning or how people want that to work.
I also don't know how many people are going. As I said, I assume there isn't any more interest (Caleb?), and I guess if anyone else wants to come they'll say so later and we'll figure it out.
The lady recommended that we make reservations, but I'm going to hold off til I hear from everybody on the list.
I'll check a map later tonight just to doublecheck that this is the location I'm thinking it is and that it's close.
So now I need everyone on the list to just doublecheck that the price is ok, and also say whether they want to be camping both Friday night and Saturday night, one and not the other, or neither. Thanks guys!
(Once we get this figured out, I guess I'll move onto the next challenge, which will be figuring out information about the actual trails
