Campsite #40

Overall a beautiful spot. A quiet spot with not a lot of boat traffic when I went. The lake is not immediately deep right here so you can wade out a bit. This particular campsite though doesn’t have a sloped walk in point to the water. No one was staying next to our site so we just used the access…

Not bad for Lake Lanier

This is not my favorite lake in GA, but the campground was nice. Sites are spread apart, bathrooms were clean. Our site didn’t have the best water access, but a good view.

Beautiful lake front spot

Amazing lake front views. Great for paddle boarding/kayaking.

We stayed here 2 nights and loved it. Park has bathrooms, showers, and laundry. The site has lovely views, hookups, grill, fire pit, and picnic table.
