    James Dykes Memorial Park Campsite

    Great spot to catch some Zzz

    Solid, well lit camp grounds. You could easily fit a dozen or more cars/tents here. I was alone most of the night. Would recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to camp/fish.

    Gold Lot Overnight Truck Parking

    Premier secure parking!

    This was a fantastic place to park on I-75. It is a fenced and gated lot just off the interstate exit. It is well lit, safe and has easy access through a walking gate to the QT next door. Wide parking spots and free WI-FI. Even has a gazebo for picnics. Check this spot out! Easy to pay at the gate.

    Claystone Park Campground

    Very nice campground

    The campground is very nice. The sites are shaded and very clean. It is easily accessible and easy to get around in. The swimming beach is okay. It is a sand beach which is clean and easy to access the water, but I would not necessarily say the water is very clean. It is definitely better than many of the other lakes we have seen in Georgia, though! I would recommend staying here if you need a spot in central Georgia

    Sanwar RV Resort

    Most Amazing Stay at Excellent Resort

    We stayed 5 nights here this past week and it was hard to go. The people in charge are just excellent and polite. The resort is immaculate and set up so very nicely. This is so good for families especially. The tavern, bingo, Saturday’s live music were all so good and fun. I even got my favorite drink - a lemon drop. 

    The pools are WONDERFUL and we , even as old, LOVED the lazy river. 

    I cannot say enough good about this place. Try it out.

    James Dykes Memorial Park Campsite

    Free - far off main highway.

    Given four stars cause at least it was free. I was actually the only camper there on a Monday night. It’s cool by the river if you like fishing. Bugs of course. Seems like a lot of locals would just drive down there and back. I did see some kids swimming right before I left.There’s a nice pavilion if you’re with the group. I only complain is it’s further off the main highway than I would’ve anticipated. But that’s on me!

    Al Sihah Shrine Park

    Great RV Park

    After reading previous review I can say they do have showers and bathrooms. A little away from where you park but not too far. Great park, nice sites, full hookups. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. They also have a laundry facility.
