We only camped one night but had a great time. The check in hosts (Trish and Will, I believe?) we extremely kind and helpful. The waterside sites are gorgeous but I would avoid the sites that back up to Buford Dam Road due to noise and lack of scenery. We were in site 7, which is quite small for a trailer. Ours is 16 feet and I would not try with something larger. Ideal for tents though. The bathrooms were clean but very minimal. No trash cans in the bathrooms, so please pack your garbage out. There are bins outside the bathroom. I did notice the dumpster was overflowing and needed to be picked up. The campground was very quiet at night, but be aware, there are houses across the lake from some of the sites. It could get noisy especially around summer holidays. We live locally and are familiar with Lake Lanier. There is lots of do here for recreation and there are stores and restaurants nearby. We will be back to Sawnee for another staycation in the future!

I have tried to call for several days; however no one picks up. I am wondering if it will be ok to bring firewood sourced within 1/2 mile of the campground. I guess I'll drive over and ask... Uff Da

I would like to start off by saying I have never camped here and sadly I will never camp here based on my experience with the person at the gate. I have family in the area and was wanting to take a 10 minute drive through the facility to see spots that might work for my RV and make sure it was going to work. I was told that they don't let anyone drive through even for 15 mins on Fri-Sun. Of course being from another state I was not able to just drive down through the weekdays. This is totally asinine as I have camped in many COE campgrounds and I have never been told I couldn't just drive through real quick to make some notes on what sites might work and to make sure its OK to navigate with my specific rig size. I can see I am not the only person who has had an issue with the front gate attendant! I will take my money elsewhere.

Not that bad of a place, I dunno what people are saying about a rude gate person but I had 0 issues. Camping sites are decent, however the only thing that gets me is the gates close at 1030 pm with no access past that time. There’s no where to park if you arrive after hours from being out exploring the town. This is one of the only places I’ve been to that didn’t have a gate code for access, and I’ve traveled. There are quite a few fire ants here. Well quite a lot. Security here is decent with a sheriff making their rounds every few hours which is nice. Would be nice if they added a gate with a gate code alternating every week like everywhere I’ve been in the US.
