War Hill Park (Dawson County Park)

Danielle

War Hill Park is a charming and enjoyable place to create lasting memories with family and friends. It offers campsites and picnic tables, and features a designated beach area for people to enjoy the refreshing waters of Lake Lanier. There are trails perfect for a recreational run or a leisurely stroll, with much to explore. Whether you are a solo traveler or enjoying a weekend getaway with your family, it is a scenic and attractive location.

Great Park! Book campsites WELL in advance if you want to camp during boating season/Holidays. CHEAP $25/DAY Tent camping. May be more on weekends, during the busy season, or holidays. RV and Camper Trailer parking on every campsite I saw. Yes, they allow them. Daily rates are Higer, I'm sure. There is a nice sized sandy beach swimming/tanning area with a volleyball net and maybe a swingset. There is plenty of truck/boat trailer parking to launch your boat 24/7, and you can leave your truck and/or trailer in the parking lot 24/7, but don't do that; unless you need to have a vehicle to drive wherever outside of the park gates which are locked/closed at 10pm. This means you Can NOT drive Out Of or back IN Through the park gates after 10pm. You can anchor your boat next to your campsite at MOST campsites all day and "maybe all night" (ask the camphosts about that) so you can have access to your vessel and campsite without having to dock, trailer your boat, and drive wherever you need to go. There are a decent amount (20 maybe) of island campsites. Each is ON the water, except site 3 or 5 (not sure). Every camsite has Nice fire pit, a nice picnic table, a basic small charcoal BBQ grill, and an inclosed trash can. Each site has a level ground tent camping area with a small gravel surface. You may need a hammer to set your tent stakes into the ground. The campsites are spread apart by 10-30 yards. Some are isolated away from all the others. No electric or water hookups. Bathrooms with showers are OKAY, but public campers can be disgusting and inconsiderate in a batroom. That shouldn't reflect on the fault of the park staff, though. The camp hosts are Friendly and accommodating if you follow the park rules and talk to them about any kind of special requests or permissions.

Nice quiet park plenty of parking and boat ramps. Nice open and clear walking trails. Great place to unwind and have a quick lunch.

Such a beautiful spot on the lake. I was able to surprise my wife with a little 10year anniversary sunset-picknick. It really is a special place

Not my favorite park on Lake Lanier but it does have things to do there. Straight ahead (as you drive passed the War Hill Park sign) is the boat ramp and dock with plenty of parking available for a $3 fee. There is an unofficial, uneventful hiking trail to the far left that goes around the peninsula for a least a mile or so. Branching off to the right you will find parking spaces in front of a sandy beach with a swimming area, swing set, volleyball net, and two port-a-potties. This road continues in a loop around the camp grounds with a spacious picnic area facing the sunset. I've only been here during the week when it wasn't crowded. I'm sure weekends and holidays are a different story though.
