Great spot. Park was awesome. Ranger and sheriff patrols. They also have evening programs for the kids to learn about animals and the park.

A real gem of a rv campground. Of all the locations we’ve been, this is in the top 2 (the other NW Atlanta GA). Huge spacious lots, and plenty of grass space from your neighbors. Fairly open, not forested but seems like 300 sapling trees planted so more shade and privacy in the works. We visited early September after summer season, and very peaceful and mostly adults. Very quiet, no blaring music, mostly seniors so a more mature and friendly crowd. $5/day parking at water where b2 boat launch ramps are. Definitely a huge body of water, top of our future list to launch our inflatable boat as at this time of year plenty of space to maneuver and water traffic minimal. Wish we had a huge body of water as this at home and remote enough to keep the noise down. Only suggestions, don’t allow fishing from boat launch ramps as someone parked at one and set up 3-4 chairs down the ramp as if their property. And need walking trails. Also why reservation checkin confirmation states 5 pm but doesn’t state office closes at 6 pm? Awkwardly we departed at 10:30 am well before the published 4 pm checkout but the next occupants arrived before we departed and front office told them we had left already? Hmmmmmm.

It was a great place to stay with my family. We also had a puppy dog and we had no problems with that. We stayed for 3 days and it was so amazing. I have no complaints.

We had a wonderful time at this campground! It was quite, peaceful, and beautiful! We tent camped and brought both of our dogs. The dogs had a great time and enjoyed the lake! The camp hosts were so nice and very informative! We'll definitely be back!!

This is a great campground and good family place, just right on the lake and wonderful shaded spots , Clean bathrooms and flat camping areas. We were right on the point and it was just a little bit windy the weekend we were there but I would definitely go again. Great place for family and kids

Nice campground. We rode our bikes down to the showers. Be careful with where you place your shoes/clothes in the shower, the water was so hard it sprayed under the door and soaked whatever was out there. I didn't like that there wasn't a secure place to put belongings while showering. And the water was so hot and strong that you couldn't actually stand under it. The campsite was quiet with beautiful views. I would stay there again, just don't plan on using the showers.
