Great history lesson

This is a state park campground and resort and golf course. Cabins are also available to rent. We stayed here during the start of covid so many amenities were not open. The golf course and lodge area  looked nice. The campground was ok. We had site #7 which was a host site so it had full hookup including cable.  Campground is small but super cramped. No barriers between sites. There is a lot of shade and bathhouses were neat and clean. Park is on lake and has fishing, playground, splash park, kayaking, pool, lodge, and restaurant. Much was closed at the time we stayed. This is a popular camp for families. I thought camp was overpriced.  What really put me off was some sketchy people here. The police were in the camp much of the night. Not really what you want to see at the campground. But we did meet some very friendly neighbors. Good for a night stop but I probably would not return. 

Good spots, clean facilities. Would definitely recommend!

Great Campground

We always enjoy camping here. Weather was perfect, beautiful campground.

Another great trip!

Nice quiet park!  Good assortment of pull through and back in sites, 30/50 amp sites.  The campground is not flat, so some of the sites aren’t level, I did have to use a couple of boards to level my camper.  Lots of trees.  

Cabins, small lake, walking/bike trails.  Trail was a good bit sandy.  Small boardwalk on the trail.  Not a golfer, but there is a course also.  

Usually the hosts are excellent, very helpful!

Only complaint, only one dump station.  Gets very busy with everyone leaving, so get there early!

Nice little park

Fishing was great if you have a boat.
So much bike riding space. 

Great time 

Very nice park, but the entrance to the campgrounds was a little confusing. But we've figured it out. Very peaceful.

Beautiful Park.

Fantastic campground. 36' 5th wheel in site 17. Plenty of room

Great place!

Clean and Shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms. 

  

The park has many amenities just a short walk away. Nearby golf course seems to be appreciated by several campers. Take a walk down to the dam and read about the construction of the park and the lake, by the CCC, in the 1930's

  

As of September 2023 the construction on the Cottages continues, so there is some noise during the day. But considering we were the closest to it, it was not bad.

Quiet, Clean and plenty of activities.

Park is not managed by GA DNR but instead a private company. They focus on the lodge, cabins and golf course. The campground is in terrible shape. Uneven sites, zero landscaping, zero fumigation (ants everywhere and while not fire ants, they bite), away from lake and hiking, feels like an afterthought. There is no store, so forget about buying anything. Hiking trail was nice, but we found (and picked up) garbage along the way. Going to the sports bar at the lodge was a welcomed retrieve from the mediocre campground and bugs. If you have little kids, there’s a splash pad and pool they would enjoy. I would not camp here during the warm months.
