Georgia Power Lake Juliette Dames Ferry Park

Got a last minute site next to the water. The peninsula we were on was tight turnaround for any big rig. Bathhouse was nice!

Been here 3 times so far. Small. Beautiful campground.

We were really just looking for a quick get away….and have never been here before; but, it’s pretty awesome! Clean. Beautiful. Quiet. Great site!

A nit, but you know it going in if you use Dyrt, but no full hookups. However, proper planning results in long water views, clean, mostly level sites. Site 25 is ~-2 degrees to rear from Level. Friendly staff with clean dispersed sites. Great views!!!

It’s a very small campground. Wasn’t that fun.

Recommended by our HVAC technician (fellow camper). Some really nice lake sites. Lake was great for a swim. Sites very well kept. Water seemed to have a very slightly brownish tint even after the new filter??? Bathrooms were dated, but clean. Great laundry, but expensive at $2 per load for wash or dry and would only take quarters. We liked this Dames Ferry park the best out of the three, Dames, Indian Springs and High Falls.

This was my first time camping as an adult with my 8 year old child. We LOVED it here. There is a playground and super clean bathrooms and a laundry area. I am pretty sure you can access the lake at almost every site. We stayed at site 25 and it was perfect for us as tent campers. (I had to go buy tent stakes because of gravel but that's my fault I had no idea about needing different stakes for different grounds sorry newbie issue) The lake is GORGEOUS and super clear. I could stay at any site and probably would be perfectly happy. Its such a gem!

We were not expecting the water to be so clear and blue! We stayed in site 16 just feet from the water. The park is small and well maintained. There Is a 25hp restriction on the lake so no loud motorboats, making it very peaceful for campers. We kayaked and chilled at our site by the water for 5 nights. A true r&r get away. We had full connectivity using Verizon and cable is provided for tv. Hopefully the paddle boats and kayaks they provide will be available now that covid restrictions are looser. There is some road noise and some sites that are closer to highway 23 we’re very loud. I would have been extremely disappointed if I were in those sites. We would definitely return to site 16.

We had camp site 19 and the views we amazing of the lake. Waking up opening the blinds to see the lake and ducks swimming around we’re just what we were looking for. It’s a bit of a hill to the lake but worth it. The showers were private and very clean, but the dump station DOES NOT empty your tanks because of the angle you have to stop at. Other than that, it was amazing!!!!

We stayed in site #16. I gave it 4 stars just because of the road noise

Pros:

• Spectacular view of the lake
• Clean bathhouse
• Site is partially fenced and the pad is level.
• Very friendly host
• Not far from hiking trails in
• Cell phone service (spotty in the campground. 4+ bars on the site with t-mobile)
• Plenty of room for chairs, gear and a fence for the dogs
• Firepit down by the lake
• Easy to get kayaks into the water
• 20 minutes from major retailers (Lowes, Walmart, etc.)

Cons :

• Not a lot of shade covering our site
• Road noise as others have stated. Not a deal breaker. There are grooves on the shoulder of the road and when you drive over them it makes an annoying sound
• Site is closer to others than I care to be
• Quiet, but it's winter. I imagine it's more active in the summer
• I'm not sure about the quality of the water. There is a GA Power plant close by and I read an article about possible contamination from the smoke stacks. Do your research.

Overall we had a great experience and we would definitely come back again. Many of the sites are on the lake and I haven't seen one I would not stay in. They do have some construction going on near the dump station. Whatever they're doing they're quiet about it.

Well taken care of plot, Great Lake to fish on. Peaceful weekdays, busy weekends. But over all good place for the family.
