GuideNot 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.

GuideBeautiful 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.
