Greta stay

Nice little campground. It’s a COE campground but maintained by Hall County Park and Rec. a few sites do need leveling to be able to back in without ripping off your level jacks.

Nice and quite campground on the lake

Overall a nice and quite campground on Lake Lanier that’s not a COE campground. Easy to navigate and locate the sites. All have water views, picnic tables, fire pits, and grills. Some have hookups on the opposite side of camper. No sewer connection but park does have a dumb station. Staff was very friendly.

Good place for a quick stay

Nice campground. Very secluded but with great views of lake Lanier. Sites are pretty small with not a lot of room but they do ok. Could be bigger but the land doesn’t really allow it. Sites are all paved and the have pull through and back in

BEAUTIFUL! I love the views and the deer!

We tent camped here..we were up on a steep hill, but it was beautiful!! The bathrooms were close to the site. We had a great family time here!! Deer were roaming thru the campsite.. so many!! I loved the fresh Georgia air and the atmosphere was just so relaxing!! I do know there is a whole other area for RV camping.. looks fun and nice in that area as well!!

SiteI don't remember. up a slope near a bathroom overlooking a lake!

First camped here 15 years ago.

We’ve always loved River Forks! Normally 4-5 stars!! Unfortunately it’s in need of some updating and TLC now. They’ve redone 7 RV sites recently and we’re hoping more are slated for updates soon! Very convenient to anything you need but hidden away with lots of deer, great access to the lake and many sites allow tying your boat or water toys up at the sites.

Really nice park

Update: will not return to this park. We got into a pickle between not having storage until the 1/4 and our camper being returned on 1/1. Obviously, we decided to camp in it ourselves. However, the management was completely inflexible. We live in the area and could come up a day early to check in because they would be closed on the first, but said we either had to pay (for a night we wouldn't be using- $30 in the trash) or arrive later (not exactly going to help out with our predicament). I understand there are policies but honestly what would you be losing? The site is open, no one else is booking it (I sincerely doubt anyone will book between now and then, it's a day away). Just an example of how people treat each other now a days. Some people genuinely care, some are only looking for money

With access to both the lake and some playgrounds, this place was really nice. There were some questionable road edges, so I took one star off for that, but otherwise it was really nice. It had a nice grate of you want to cook over the fire, as well as a pretty clean charcoal grill.

Great location, great sites

I’ve camped here several times in both tent and RV. If you have a boat you won’t find a better campground for accessing Lake Lanier.

Clean and Awesome

Great for lake fun and relaxing days. Plenty of access and views of Lake Lanier. We’ve camped here multiple and it’s never let us down.
