For equipment I can suggest some things. I am no super lightweight camper/hiker and these things work great for me on a budget so take it with a grain of salt. I camp a couple times a month and have not had any issues with this gear.
Tent - It is about as cheap as it costs to rent a small tent for a couple nights and sets up quick and has a great waterproof base that goes up about 10" so even if it rains and puddles against the tent it stays dry.
Camping Light/Fan - Works great for hanging from the hook from the ceiling of the tent. Nice to have light in the whole tent and a fan in Georgia is very helpful on those hot nights.
Headlamp - Great cheap headlamp (I have a few and attach one to a gallon jug of water for a makeshift lantern)
For a sleeping pad I would suggest going to a store and trying out a few and see what you want for comfort vs. weight. Most of the time I ditch the sleeping bag (unless its pretty far into the winter) and bring a sheet and a small blanket. A hoodie and sweat pants with a sheet is just as comfortable to me but that is all personal preference. I really suggest giving camping a shot! It is a great way to experience nature and have a great weekend on the cheap.
We have a wildflower guide and a copy hiking books (that I don't find that useful), but I ABSOLUTELY recommend getting the Trails Illustrated maps for the area:
https://smile.amazon.com/Brasstown-Chattooga-Chattahoochee-Geographic-Illustrated/dp/1566954673/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1566954673&pd_rd_r=1NG4PG5T88JR4D8D4ZNY&pd_rd_w=4WY37&pd_rd_wg=AUcqB&psc=1&refRID=1NG4PG5T88JR4D8D4ZNY&dpID=51MopJ4-QUL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=detail
I have 2 for north GA (the one I linked for for the eastern half of north GA), one for western NC, another for the Smokies, and also one for the Mount Mitchell area.
Other than good maps, I find "thru-hiking guides (AWOL AT; Bartram; Benton MacKayte; etc) to be the best collection of useful hiker info, elevation profiles, and information that is relevant for hikers.
FWIW, I have a collection of some past trips (in GA and NC) with pics, etc:

Kind of running a hybrid mashup of stuff.
Base is a GSI Halulite Microdualist and a Halulite Minimalist II and Snowpeak Sporks. I make a lot of my own jerky and backpacking food at this point (Cabela's Commercial dehydrator FTW). Hell of a lot cheaper than even buying bulk mountainhouse stuff. Plus I get more variety and better flavor. Backpacking Chef has some great resources for getting started.

Pretty decent set for being so cheap. The stove works just as well as my MSR stove so far.
This is my go to for waterfalls in the area. He also has several other great books:
Waterfalls of Southern Appalachians
Check out this book. I have an older edition but it has been very helpful in what you're looking for.
I bought one of these a while back and it works just fine for a summer bag. No need to invest in an expensive one. It pretty much takes up the same space as my three-seasons bag. Cheap too. Worth it to invest in imo.
If you don't have a groundpad though, it should be the first thing you buy when sleeping outdoors. I've used this one for years.
Tim Homan's book, "The Hiking Trails of North Georgia." It's a little dated now, but still a good resource.
https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Trails-North-Georgia-Homan/dp/1561451274/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1526949642&sr=1-1&keywords=tim+homan&dpID=61HSRFK2R8L&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch
$20 will get you a brand new foam thermarest.

This is what I have
My wife and I got a lot of use out of this one.
Ive got several but the falcon guide for hiking georgia is the one I use the most. https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Georgia-States-Greatest-Adventures/dp/0762782439/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526937705&sr=8-1&keywords=Falcon+guide+georgia
