    Old Salem Park Campground

    NO ANTS

    This is a very nice campgrounds the sites are well spaced an fairly level. My site was so level I didn't need leveling blocks.  I like having pea gravel in stead of dirt, it's so much cleaned after it rains. Georgia Power has gone to great lengths to get rid of the ants. We went prepared for a problem and there was no problem at our site. I talked with our neighbors and none of them had problems either. The bath house and the grounds were well maintained. Staff was friendly and out and about most of the day. The dump station has been upgraded and 2 new dump stations have been added for a total of 3 stations. I don't know if Star link or Satellite TV will work because of the tree cover, but my T-Mobile home internet worked great. Old Salem is on our list of campgrounds to return to. I hope your stay is as enjoyable as ours was.

    Tugaloo State Park Campground

    Extremely crowded

    This campground was not fully booked, yet most campsites were maxed out with people in each one so it felt extremely busy with lots of partying-like noise. Lots of vehicle/ golf cart/ sxs traffic throughout grounds and past our campsite at all hours. Only a few campsites offer a little bit of privacy, most have none. Lots of pictures that show waterfront property can be deceiving. Bathrooms were big and very clean, and all staff were friendly.

    Margaritaville

    Best Campground Ever

    My wife and I went here for a week back in June 2025. I’ve been to many campgrounds in my day and I can say this one by far is the best. Clean campsites, fun amenities and great golf.

    We went to a Braves game one night since it is only an hour away and made may fond memories. I have already scheduled my week to go back again in 2026!

    Lake Lanier

    Want a beautiful place to camp for cheap? Try Lake Lanier! Gorgeous campground, concrete pads, water and electric at site. We paid 30 a night! Nice and quiet too.

    Don Carter State Park Campground

    Great weekend

    Nice bath and shower facilities. Water pressure is low. There are two dump stations and dumpsters. The campground sits above Lake Lanier. Finding sites are a little confusing.

    Shady Grove Campground

    Water Front Views

    Great state / county campground. Majority of the sites offer direct water access with many sites offering water front views and beach areas.

    Bald Ridge Creek

    First trip for the summer

    Check in staff very friendly Site 32 - Nice level site. Plenty of room for us. Back in is not straight so it takes alittle bit of maneuvering(that maybe why it was one of the last few sites available a week out). Very close to the lakeshore. Morning and afternoon shade, otherwise pretty direct sun overhead around noon.

    The restroom and shower facilities were clean. Plenty of hot water. Gave it 4 stars only because I thought the swim beach could have been more clear of stuff that washed up. Otherwise a great campground. Would definitely stay here again!

    Thousand Trails Carolina Landing

    Small Sites but Beautiful Campground

    Very tight between rigs if you’re in a 30’+ rig. Water pressure and hookups have worked great. Beautiful area. There was trash in our fire ring and the picnic table at our site should probably be put out of its misery. Perfect Starlink connection from our spot and pretty likely to get it pretty well from others.
