Murrays Lake Primitive

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A sedan-accessible road leads into this free, dispersed Forest Service site in Cisco, Georgia, where four tent spots are split between two drive-in sites and two more reached by a short trail. The lake on-site is small and includes a boat ramp, though reviewers note it may not justify hauling watercraft. Campers looking for places to camp near Cisco will find this one of the more secluded options in the area. Cottonwood Patch Campground sits roughly two miles away for those wanting a nearby alternative. It suits campers who want free, low-infrastructure camping with road access that doesn't require a high-clearance vehicle.

It's Primitive

There is a lake, but it's not all that pretty. There's a boat ramp, but the lake is small and I doubt it's worth the trouble. There are 2 drive in tent spots, with 2 more at the end of a trail. Secluded. The road in can be handled by a sedan.
