  Lawrence Shoals Campground

  Stunning Views

  This is my second time here, first was a scouting trip and stayed only a few days.  This trip I brought my family and stayed 9 days.  Autumn is beautiful but we were probably a week or two early for the full color change of the trees.  The weather was a little warm for Oct./Nov. but we're from Florida and anything cooler and less humid is welcome.The trails have been maintained and new markers put in place.  Bath houses were clean and tidy and the camp crew kept everything neat , they even blew the leaves off of the road every morning.  Kudos to Georgia Power for keeping such a great campground with large spaces between campers and still remaining cozy.

  Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

  Beautiful Trees with a cool breeze

  This place was great. We arrived after hours and spoke with the camp host he told us we can pay online or in the morning. We drove all day in the sun and due to hurricane Helene aftermath we were limited on where to stay. It was nice to pull in and it be nice and cool with the trees. The stars popped out at night and could be seen through the tree tops. Showers were hot.

  Indian Springs State Park Campground

  More than expected...unfortunate noise pollution

  This is a little gem of a state park. Indian Springs State park has a lot to offer. The camp sites are the other side of the lake from the group and public shelters/picnic areas etc so you feel away from everything. The park offers a museum, trails, kayak rentals and more. 

  The multi-purpose hike connects to the Dauset Nature Center trails and is worth taking the extra mile or so, at least, to go visit the nature center. The hike is rated as quite hard on All Trails and similar apps but, in reality, is fine for most levels. I am recovering from a back injury and this was my first 5+ mile hike in years. It was more than manageable. 

  One downside of the parks location is that you are close to Jackson and neighboring towns. There were some noises (e.g. loud cars) that could be heard from our site at night. It wasn't constant or overly intrusive. The main complaint was that other humans in the park seemed to not have consideration for their camping neighbors and enjoyed driving golf carts around while playing music at full volume. That can happen anywhere though and maybe shouldn't be a 'negative' for the park. 

  The park is well kept, comfort stations are fine and staff very friendly and helpful.

  Parks Ferry Campground

  Will not go back

  While the camp hosts were very nice and the bathrooms were clean, that’s where the good ends. The sites are on top of each other in the inner loop and very much out of level. There is no place to dump trash in the campground. The only places were at the boat ramp and beach. Worst of all was the dump station was overflowing and could not be used when we were leaving.

  Nice and Quiet

  Nice campsites with water and electricity. Almost all the sites have view of lake and many have access to the lake for swimming or paddle boarding or boating. Nice breeze off the lake. Will be back many times.

  High Falls State Park Campground

  Nice place to get away

  We really enjoyed staying at High Falls. Most of the RV sites were spaced well apart and the amenities were clean.

  Safari tent

  Tons of things to do train rides, gondola ride to the top, hiking and fireworks. Stayed in a safari tent a little worn down with duck tape on the screen. However, clean bathroom/showers and fun pool. A couple of crazy squirrels visit us every morning.

  North Shore Landing

  Camground is now a KOA

  On my way back from Florida to the NC mountains, I spent a night at the KOA campground on Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. I was in a full hook-up pull-through site#44. As you can see from the photos, the campground is right on the lake and has many campsites. The campground staff was accommodating during check-in and when getting to my site. However, the campground itself is pretty worn. Roads are poor. Decking at sites needs repair. At $108.90, for one night, there is little reinvestment in the campground grounds and facilities. The local area is proliferating with many upscale homes and businesses. I expected a more updated set of facilities. Site#44 has a lake view, which is nice, but it is one of 3 sites butted up end to end on the side of the road, with the site to my left currently unusable with some repair work going on. The site has a sizeable two-tier deck, grill, and firepit, but it had not been cleaned off in some time, with chairs and tree debris strewn around. I would skip this campground if I were back in the area.

  Friendly Staff - Not a Great Site

  We made this reservation many months ago and have rescheduled a few times as our plans changed. Today, we checked in and filled our propane tank. The person was training at the desk and messed up the billing. I got to site 112, which was not very level; I had to jack the front of the RV off the ground to get level. The sewer connection was uphill, so I did not dump tanks. WiFi was spotty and very slow. Cell coverage AT&T and Verizon were both poor. The site was muddy from water runoff. Convenient for overnight stay. But not a campground where I would spend multiple nights.

  Old Salem Park Campground

  Great Place for Campers/Boaters

  Camp host Bobby was pleasant and helpful,  Sites were a good size and spaced well. Georgia Power has some of the nicest campgrounds and this one is a gem. Great place for boating and fishing and kiddos will love the beach, not many trails to hike and very Dog Friendly (a must for us)  Bath house and latrines were absolutely stellar and very clean, laundry area as well.  Spray WELL for ants as they are abundant we had no issues but our neighbors needed some assistance in mitigation.  Close drive to town for additional supplies and a Publix supermarket is about 2 miles away.  final words... Great place for kids and boating if you're looking for wilderness trails this is not the place.

  Lawrence Shoals Campground

  Shhhh,,, Don’t Tell Anyone

  I was debating on whether or not to leave this stellar review, knowing that once the word was out, the crowds would come.  This park operated by Georgia power and light is one of the nicest cleanest and well cared for parks. I’ve been in.  Most state parks could take a lesson from the operators of these parks.  First off the RV sites are large and spaced out enough so that your neighbors are not in your backyard.  Plenty of trees and Flora  To keep the park looking natural.  If you like trails, there is an abundance and some are multi use so bring your mountain bike..  They have some black diamond mountain bike trails as well for the more experienced.  Some of the walking trails have  signs along them for historical markers, or just descriptions of the local flora and fauna.  All of the roads are paved and access for my 30 foot RV were easily negotiated.,  The lake is very large and welcomes boaters of any kind, including jet skis.  There is a small swimming beach, of course no dogs allowed but if you walk around the edge of the lake, you can find plenty of spots to take a splash with your pup..  joe is the park host along with his wife and I’ve been there for 11 years super nice fellow very accommodating. The showers and restroom facilities are the cleanest I’ve ever experienced, hot water was abundant. The only thing that may be lacking or hooks to hang your towels.. If I could give it 10 stars, I would,

  Beautiful camping

  My family and I camped here for the weekend. Our campsite was beautiful and level. We could easily accommodate our pop-up camper and a 4-person tent with room to spare! My son was able to play and explore. My only critic would be that we were a little let down at the condition of the beach and that there was no playground when there was one listed on the grounds map. We will definitely be returning nonetheless.

  Family getaway

  Been going here since I was a kid and now I take my kids every year. It’s quiet but it could use more campsites with a beach area and maybe updated bathrooms. Still love it though

  Newton Factory Shoals Rec Area

  Nice campsite

  CG Manager drove through periodically and was very friendly. I met him on the trail to the falls and took the time to explain the factory that used to be there. Very interesting. Most sites are on the water. Has toilets and showers. I stayed for 3 nights and had a great time.

  Shoal Creek Campground

  Beautiful lake front AND lake view camping spots; friendly staff

  This was our first RV camping experience -- testing out a new pop-up camper during a two (2) night stay. Reservations were made through Campspot -- about $120 with fees. Communication with the main number for the campground went through the Margaritaville Campground nearby. Separate direct lines to the camp office and security were provided after arrival. Overall communication was good with both, and the staff were always polite.

  We skipped our first night reservation due to high winds. We had concerns about damaging the pop-up roof during first-time setup. We decided, instead, to visit the campsite we'd reserved and pick up our paperwork. Site 56 was our first choice, and we were NOT happy with it. I selected the wrong size on the Campspot website -- a 20' campsite. It was not big enough to park both the camper AND the tow vehicle, AND the camper would've been facing away from the lake anyway with water and electrical hookups.

  The next morning, we called to arrange for a different site. The camp office was very accommodating and blocked off four (4) available sites to choose from. We moved to site 55, which was a large circular pull through. Probably too big for our pop-up camper, but also probably too close to trees for a larger trailer or even a 5th wheel. The campsite was large, with the picnic table, fire ring and sand pit away from the camper. There was lots of room to set up and enjoy the beautiful lake views.

  Electric and water hookups worked just fine. The camp office lent a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter free of charge. We had no issues with either service. The showers and bathrooms were about 2-3 sites down and up the road from 55, and they were reasonably clean for what they were.

  I WAS disappointed that the main gate was broken, and the key code locks on the showers and bathrooms were duct taped shut. However, I did not feel that the campground was all that insecure, and there did not appear to be a lot of traffic coming through. Security DID come through overnight on Sunday morning -- probably due to some noise at 1-2 of the campsites across the cove from ours. Things quieted down after. The camp host was cleaning bathrooms on Sunday morning, and he was very polite when we talked. I saw him regularly coming through to check on campsites and clean up.

  Overall, we liked this campground and will be going back. I will likely request to scout out some different sites in person before selecting one, as I don't want to be in a position to have to give up my spot when it's very busy.

  Wesley Oaks RV Park

  Expensive + additonal fees

  925 per month regardless of class size. 400 dollar security deposit plus a 50 dollar pet rent every month. Apartments charge less for security deposits+ pet rent (especially this high!) is something I’ve yet to hear of for an RV park. For a small 30 amp camper van, it’s just not justifiable to pay the same price as a big rig.

  Little River Park Campground

  Our first trip in a pop up camper

  Site was very clean and quiet. A lot of the campers stay there monthly and long term. It’s best to reserve way in advance if you want a water site.

  Bad Experience

  We should have known when we first arrived not to stay here. Our welcome was very brisk and unfriendly. Our site was literally right next to the freeway with terrible freeway noise and fuel smells. We asked to be moved and our new site was so narrow that the picnic tables didn’t even fit in the site and tottered on the edge of the site’s bank. They offer site garbage pick up daily, but not to monthly stays. So they drive right by your site while picking up garbage to sites right next to you! Playground is satisfactory but the dog park is muddy and rocky. When we signed in and mentioned we were excited about having a dog park the check in person said she wouldn’t take her dog to it! I highly recommend driving right on by! We use KOA’s regularly and this campground management is far below KOA standards! Beware!

  Forsyth, GA….Horrible

  Don’t go!!!! The person said it was a vaca must have stayed in some pretty bad campgrounds. The sites have crumbled asphalt so hard to find sold place for jacks. We pd for sewer but didn’t get it. Roads were tight with lots of trees and set up on circles. Two older gentleman on a golf cart said they just purchased it 5 days ago. Based upon prior comments and pictures I don’t believe that to be true. You come in on a frontage road with a switch back right by the turn into parking area. The left turn into the park is like a tight u-turn in which there is a huge ditch or drop off that you can’t make without the rear of the RV dropping into this ditch. The campground sits a bit below the frontage road. To compound issues not only can you not make that turn without the back of the camper in this ditch and ripping off the jacks and other components in the rear, there is a sizable crest on frontage road so while our 42’ 5th wheel was sitting on the road we were hoping nobody came flying down that hill and be not able to stop. It was suggested by a guy waiting for us on the switch back to get out of his way to back up and go up the switch back and come in from the other side. It worked but that’s dangerous and needs to be taken care of immediately. Laundry room was ok and reasonable.
