Boaters and anglers find direct lake access at Old Salem Park Campground, a Georgia Power facility positioned on a peninsula along Lake Oconee. The 83 RV sites and 8 tent sites accommodate rigs up to 50 feet, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections available throughout the property.
Sites feature pea gravel surfaces rather than dirt, which campers appreciate for cleaner conditions after rain. The campground spreads across well-spaced, level sites, many offering lake views though not all sit directly waterfront. "Be advised not all sites are directly on the water, so make reservations early," notes Fain H.. Tree coverage from Georgia pines and mixed hardwoods provides shade but may limit satellite reception.
A sandy beach area anchors the recreation options, complete with available life jackets for borrowing. The lake supports fishing and boating activities, with multiple boat ramps providing water access. A playground and pavilion serve families, while the property includes clean bathhouses, laundry facilities, and three dump stations. Camp hosts maintain an active presence throughout the grounds.
Ant populations require preparation, as multiple campers report significant activity around stabilizers, tables, and food storage areas. Bringing ant spray proves essential for most visits. The campground sits within easy reach of camping near Greensboro, with a Publix grocery store located approximately two miles away for supply runs.
The facility operates year-round with reservation availability, welcoming pets throughout the property. While hiking trails remain limited, the focus centers squarely on water-based recreation and family camping in a managed lakefront setting.
