Labor Day Weekend on Lake Lanier
We stayed here for 3 nights in sight 94. We enjoyed our stay but felt the campground could have been better maintained. There were 2 dump stations but one was closed. We thought our site was supposed to have a sewer hookup but either it was backed up or it wasn’t a hookup because when we tried to dump the tanks the waste came gushing back out. The other dump station apparently had 2 areas for dumping but there were several people waiting in line to dump so we just left without emptying our tanks. The bathhouses at the park were very clean and well maintained. There was a laundry area available as well. Firewood and ice was available for purchase at the gate house but there was no other store available onsite. The playground was very dated and included an old metal swing, volleyball net and basket ball goal. The grass around many of the sites was very overgrown and in need of cutting. The grass directly around the playground areas had been cut and there were paths cut through the grass to these areas but the surrounding grass was in need of cutting. There was a swimming “beach” which was made of concrete and seemed to me to be a safety hazard. The area beneath the water was coated in a muddy slimy film which was very slick. I actually wore my flip flops to swim in to keep from slipping down or touching the stuff. The area was surrounded by a floating barrier enclosing the designated swimming section and was actually very small. There was a boat ramp and most people brought their own boats and got in the water elsewhere. There was also a nice fishing pier and a small hiking loop to get to it. Overall we enjoyed the stay but would probably try a different campground next time.
