Lake Sidney Lanier - COE/Old Federal
Lake Sidney Lanier is a large reservoir located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Georgia. It was created in the 1950s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin Project. The lake is named after the American poet Sidney Lanier and is located near the city of Flowery Branch. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, swimming, and other recreational activities. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, and great blue herons. The lake is surrounded by several state parks and wildlife management areas, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

AMAZING CAMPGROUND! The Staff is helpful, positive attitudes, no matter rain or shine this is my favorite place to go camping, since I was 7 years old to now at 35 years old :)

Campground has been taken over by jetskiers killing the tranquility and managers does squat. Site 16 picnic table was stolen by jetskiers not part of the campground and who brought it to the beach. Too bad. Lots of potential but management must ensure order to ensure everyone has a great time.

A great campground getting better as open all year round starting soon. Beach and boat launch available. Beautiful lake setting from every campsite.

Google wants a star rating on "Rooms". I can't do that, it's a campground. I will say,the staff was great, invisible, unless we needed something or if a site was being cleaned after someone checked out, which is what you want in a campground. Bathrooms are dated, but clean and nice. Location, wow! What a beautiful place. We had a spot with a great lake view. There's plenty of places close by if you need essentials or want to go out for lunch or dinner. This is a great spot to get away from it all.

I'm someone who always uses their sporadic day off to go camping. Once you make a reservation online, you should receive a call, where they give you the gate code and gladly answer any questions you may have. The office hours for registration are from 10:00 am - 7:00 pm. Once you arrive, park to the side and enter the building to register, and they will give you directions to your camping spot. Old Federal Campground is by far my favorite. The hosts are the kindest people who are protective of their home. You will never have to worry about outsiders or break-ins with them around. My camping spot has all of my favorite things - lapping waves against the rocks, gentle breezes that rustle lightly through the trees, a variety of harmless wildlife all around. From my spot, the sunrise and sunset sparkle beautifully with an array of colors, reflected in harmony on the lake. I also loved the mountain views off into the distance. The bathrooms are spotless, and there is not a single piece of litter to be found on the entire property at any time. The hosts and campground staff take great pride in where they are, and it shows. I want to thank them for such a lovely time, and I can't wait to come back!
