As in most state parks , clean and friendly, restrooms and showers clean .Only bad thing is no close by stores make sure you have everything or be ready for a little trip to get it ! But we will return !!!!

We have stayed have stayed at Don Carter 3 times and enjoyed it each time. It is the newest of GA State Parks and has all paved roads and sites. The park and all facilities are clean and well maintained. While the sites are not full hookup, along with power and water the sites have a "gray water" drip system that allows you to slowly drain off gray water.

The sites are average in size and not too close together. There are a handful of waterfront sites however being a "first come first served" reservation system, your best chance of getting one of those sites is to arrive on Wednesday or Thursday.

If you don't have enough money or time for a beach vacation this is the place to go. You will enjoy Sandy beaches and the splash of cold water on your body.

We tent camped here for two nights. While our tent was a bit too big to fit on the pad, we made do and didn't even set it on fire. The bathrooms were very clean and since we were allowed to pick our site we found one near the bathroom. There were several trails and geocaches in the park, which helped us walk off some of the donuts we ate sitting around the campfire. This park also has a lake and playground for other outdoor activities if hiking and geocaching aren't your thing. The camp store has ice and firewood and some other things you might need/want. Perhaps we are just navigationally challenged, but finding the dumpster when we needed it was a feat. Of course we passed it while we were trying to find the perfect campsite, but had trouble locating it when we actually needed it. We were also glad that we called before our arrival since we needed a gate code. Overall, it was a good experience. There was a beautiful night sky.
