I don't know why I didn't check this place out sooner!! It's absolutely beautiful here! The cabins sit on the best lake front view and there's a private boat ramp!

Great spot to rent a cabin or trailer or camp. They have a great launch ramp and it’s nice and quiet on that side of the lake. The cabins are super nice. And they do a great job of maintaining them. Everyone that works there is super helpful also so treat them with love! They will accommodate anything you need!

The lake is great fun and the sunsets were amazing. The park is a bit old and needs work, especially the cabins, but the staff is so good. Because of that we will be back.

Mixed feelings about Maxwell-Gunter. So positive, negative, positive….Lake Martin is beautiful! The people working there were friendly. Sites spacious and wooded, peaceful. The other reviews are correct, not maintained well. If it breaks, don’t fix it. If warped, put a block on it. Pretty much….we have a lake and hook-ups, find your own way to get in and good luck. The layout is rather jankie. Being a military campground, standards are low. But, once you get over the layout frustration…relax and enjoy! Fishing, swimming, beach areas, quiet. Best for RV’s or tent camping, but a struggle for the larger motorhomes like ours. Suggest lot 36 or (if you can find it) 21 which is serene.

Beautiful property on Lake Martin. Called to make reservations and they called back in within an hour to complete. Travelled there in a small camper/van. The lake had nice sandy bottom so I swam from my campsite. Many docks around the campground for people with boats which seemed to be assigned to certain campsites. Also had a marina. We didn't have a boat so I don't know how that worked. Bathrooms were old but clean and well provisioned. Had a great hot shower with excellent water pressure. Lots of dock work being done in preparation for summer. Property hilly, many sites not flat. Might be difficult for large RV's. Peeked into cabins which looked old but clean and neat. Porches around cabins getting a little rickety. Nice sandy beach with volleyball net. Playground for kids. Almost no one there on Easter weekend. Need to support this Rec center so it can continue!!!! Hidden gem.
