      Only a few campsites near the water

      Site 7 is separate from the others and has the whole point except there is a trail behind the site. No easy, sandy water access unless you go to the nice beach they have.

      Amazing campground in the GA mountains

      Beautiful campground with a small lake and wooded sites. A little hilly but that provides some space between sites. Campground staff were very nice and facilities were clean and in good repair. Dog friendly with trails on site, as well as stables adjoining.

      Perfect campground tucked in the mountains

      Good sized campground tucked into the mountains. I brought my dog with me and had a great time. There is a lake that you can fish in, stables to ride horses, and hiking trails on the campground. We heard some people on dirt bikes on the trails too.

      4x4 and some clearance a must.

      I love this place. It really is remote. However I stopped at the spot right before the wider creek. Walked a long ways and never saw another spot.

      Lots of rocks, creeks and tight spots to make for a fun time.

      Horse Camp

      Well laid out campground with some good spots, especially further back in the campground. But definitely set up and geared for horseback riders. Passed through on a bike packing trip and we were the only non-horse people there. Campsite was clean, with bathrooms and water available.

      Great Place

      Has all amenities, wifi is on the “better side than most”. If you enjoy mountains, horses and lakes. Your odds of enjoyment may be high.

      Sure its a lil busy during the camping season, as it has so much to offer.

      This spot is so perfect, it has a nice little river that runs near by the camp that you can wash dishes and bathe in with the perfect noise not to loud not to silent to hear the highway near this camp, recommend a offroad/camping rig, big enough spot for at least 5 people.

      Beautiful campground!

      Stayed 4 days tent section (June 2023). Staff were excellent, helpful & very friendly. Water & elec. hookup (30 amp.) all worked. The pond area & views were beautiful. We had a well shaded site w/a little creek behind it. The ground was hard & pretty level. Make sure you have solid tent spikes. Bath/shower house was clean but could use an update. Gravel roads have some ruts, but posted 10pm works. We will go back!

      Annual Memorial Day Trip

      We go camping every memorial day weekend and this year it was at Don Carter. We love this camp ground! Its fairly new, probably under 12 years, and everything is so clean and well taken care of. The campsites are always clean when you arrive, and the volunteers are so sweet. We love that it's on the lake because family members have boats and its just easy to jump on at the campsite dock. There is also a beach for the kids to play at as well, very well kept. Our campsite was a tad bit small for our camper, large campers like motorhomes or fifth-wheels will not fit. Our campsite backed up to one of the hiking trails and our little guy loved it! Wonderful campground!

      Don Carter State Park Campground

      Ok, but nothing special

      I might be a little spoiled after staying at places like Black Rock and Cloudland, but this park was a bit boring. Definitely not a destination park by any means, but it was clean and easy to navigate, and the little beach was nice. The walk in campsites were nice, with plenty of room for our large group. However, there were no showers for the walk in sites, so we ended up showering down at the beach bathrooms at the outdoor showers. I wish the park had even put an open-air shower on the back of the bathrooms for the walk in. Would've made the stay a lot better.

      Great Convenient Hiking Campgrounds!!

      We’re still here. But we are enjoying our site. Great level site took no time to setup. Grey water on each site, power, and cable hookups. Our cable hookup was stripped but didn’t matter much. Campgrounds seem very new. Clean playground, quiet environment, and quiet camp grounds.

      Nice state park close to Atlanta

      This park is one of the newest in the GA state system and it shows based on how new the facilities look. The we camped at site 10 of the walk-in camp sites. There was one bathroom facility with flush toilets, but no showers. It looked like one could use the beach showers, but they were still close for winter. Site 10 was a nice spot with a decent distance from other sites. We were there at the beginning of spring. Once the tree coverage grows back in the site would be more secluded. There are many miles of hiking trails that are interconnected so one can make the a long challenging hike if so inclined. Overall this park was a nice basic state park, but seemed to be more of a day use park for locals than a destination park like many of the other GA state parks.

      Lovely shaded mountain lake camping

      We visited and camped in our RV at Timber Ridge during October and November 2021. The layout of the camp park is very 3D as the roads wind up and down through the mountain forest. There is lots of shade and a beautiful lake. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One helped me get our rig backed safely in to our site.

      Very relaxing

      My wife and I did the walk-in tent camping. We had a nice, relatively secluded spot. This area of Lake Lanier is pretty quiet. Great for kayaking or paddle boarding.
