"Loved gated entry, paved roads and super updated and clean shower and restrooms with keyed entry. Did not use pool but was large and clean. For just off hwy was still hidden and quiet."
"Only critique would be need exit signs. Easy to go the wrong way."
$34 - $190 / night
"Stayed at campsite 56, immediately next to the playground. This was great for us because we have two young children who could play all they wanted."
"This park is located south of Atlanta, which is the only drawback for anyone who lives North of Atlanta, especially if you are planning to go on a Friday night!"
"The sites are good sized but not a lot of privacy. Sorta like a nice parking lot with grass and trees. We stayed in January so the weather was on the chill side."
"Traveling across Georgia from NC to visit family in MO, we thought we would stay overnight at a state park."
"They had welcome packets, on the large porch, next to the office, explaining the self check in and night drop box for payment. A board on the wall showed what sites we could use."
"Park is very clean with lots of amneties. All sites are pull through. Grounds are well kept."
$9 - $80 / night
"Spacious sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Bathrooms are rustic, not well kept, not much hot water. Overall park is not well kept, but great sites, small beach area, and nice lake area."
"Very spacious camp sites complete with a gravel square to set up your tent, plenty of trees to hang hammocks, a charcoal grill, fire pit, hanger for trash, picnic table, and beautiful views of the lake"
"I think we paid $480 for a full month, which included the lot rent, water, sewer, and power."
"We stayed in March, so when the leaves are off the trees, you can see the lake. Kinda doubtful you would during the summer. Gray water dump is very close."
"This is a lovely campground and it is laid out well to provide privacy and shade on the sites. Our campsite was overlooking the water which was great."
$85 - $145 / night
$30 - $45 / night
"Campground was pretty close to halfway between on my trip. I stayed in one of their camping cabins and it was very comfortable and worked out great. Easy access clean showers and rest room."
"There’s a large fenced dog park. Laundry available. Clean bath houses. There are small comping cabins available. I have full hookups."
$15 - $95 / night
"Cabins have great views with a back porch over the bluffs (with a nice sunset vantage point)."
"Sprewell Bluff Park is about 50 miles south of Atlanta on the Flint River."
RangerCabins have great views with a back porch over the bluffs (with a nice sunset vantage point). Bunk beds are fine (mattresses not that great) and plenty of space inside with extras that make them really convenient (fridge, microwave, good heating). There’s about a 6-mile loop trail overlooking the river that will provide a good workout. The recreation area down by the river is expansive enough for folks to spread out. Here in March it’s too chilly for swimming, but would likely be a nice escape in the summer. Would definitely return.
LegendSprewell Bluff Park is about 50 miles south of Atlanta on the Flint River. The campground is small, tent & RV sites starting at $35/night with 30/50 amp electric, water, fire ring, and picnic tables. Most are back in. There is a showroom/bathroom. There are also cabins. The trading post has a variety of camping items and souvenirs. This is primarily a a fisherman’s Park. There is some canoeing and hiking, and a new playground. A boat ramp was added recently. It is somewhat difficult to get here.
TravelerOnly 5 RV sites. First come first serve. Fortunately end of November not busy. Spacious sites with fire pit, grill, and picnic table. Bathrooms are rustic, not well kept, not much hot water. Overall park is not well kept, but great sites, small beach area, and nice lake area.
ScoutVery spacious camp sites complete with a gravel square to set up your tent, plenty of trees to hang hammocks, a charcoal grill, fire pit, hanger for trash, picnic table, and beautiful views of the lake and surrounding forest. Restrooms and showere near most camp sites too. Will be returning!
TravelerI stayed two different nights on a motorcycle trip to Western North Carolina, November 6 2019, one night up and one night back. Campground was pretty close to halfway between on my trip. I stayed in one of their camping cabins and it was very comfortable and worked out great. Easy access clean showers and rest room. Highly recommended..
ScoutOff-grid done right!
Traveler1st time for us to Indian Springs. Very clean and well maintained. Site 19 was on a less populated loop and a long stretch of woods on the "driver" side thus no neighbors. Site was very easy to back into.
We stayed in March, so when the leaves are off the trees, you can see the lake. Kinda doubtful you would during the summer. Gray water dump is very close. Bathhouse was about a 2 minute walk, but didn't use it.
I'd stay on this section again, but maybe across the street. or preferably down by the water. There's a short drop off behind the fence by the fire ring, that the dog keeps trying to go down and getting stuck - imagine little ones may love that area.
The town of Flovilla is right outside the gates, with some shops and a nice restaurant. Dollar General is 5 mins away. Dauset Trails Nature Preserve is about 15 minutes away, but note pets aren't allowed. High Falls State park is about 15 minutes away with good hiking trails. Plus boat, and paddle board rentals.
LegendLake Sinclair, GA: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good
Summary: I have stopped by to camp for 4 years. This time we stayed in the electric, Loop A which has 5 sites. There were other users there who were concerning. One was what looks to be a homeless extended stay occupant in a trailer. The other was a tent camping couple who decided to camp with their tents in the RV only area. That said, the lower loops, Loop A and Loop D are more visible to the camp host, thus a safer feeling. If you don’t want electric hookup, those loops are a nicer area of the campground.
(70 yr olds in 17’ trailer with a desire for a campsite that has at least some visual privacy - after the trailer is in the spot.)
Overall Rating: 1.5 for the electric sites - they are not necessarily attractive, out in the open, and no visual separation between sites. They are moderately spaced. The non-electric sites(no generators allowed as per website) area 4 rating. There are spacious and well spaced sites in the Loop B. Many sites are set back from the campground loop road.
Price 2023: $ 10.5 for elect site & 4.5 for non-electric site w interagency pass

Site Spacing: 5 decent sized sites in the electric loop. Non- electric loop has very large sites.

Campground Noise: Very quiet. Only one other camper
Road Noise: Too far from a main road to be an issue. From electric sites and from some non electric sites the traffic in the access road can be heard.

Electric Hookup: Loop A, sites 1 - 5 only
Sewer Hookup: No
Dump Station: Yes, just following the check in station on the right.
Potable Water Available: At electric sites.
Generators: Not allowed. This is a shame since this campground is so lightly used.
Bathroom/ Shower House: Yes - In Loop B (services both Loop A and B). Hot water worked only in the woman’s shower. The hot water in the shower in Loop D works fine and is in a little nicer facility. Drive to that one for a shower. These are pretty old buildings, but pretty clean. Bathroom only house in the day use area is new and nicer to be in.

Sites: Loop A is the Electric loop with 5 sites. Loop A is not so great. There are beautiful extra large sites in non-electric/no generator lower Loop B. Loop C has been “temporarily”, as per signage, closed for at least 4 years. Loop D has smaller sites, many of which look to be tent sites. Some of these sites are nicely located close to the lakeside in both B and D.
TravelerWe arrived after the office had closed, in the middle of a thunderstorm. They had welcome packets, on the large porch, next to the office, explaining the self check in and night drop box for payment. A board on the wall showed what sites we could use. The packet gave us a code to the shower house, that was the cleanest and best laid out I had ever seen. We were concerned about being car campers (bed in our Tesla Model Y). I met the maintenance man in the morning. He was friendly and said no problem. Given the convenient location and quality of the park, the $40 we spent was a bargain.
