The bathrooms were clean throughout the WE. Disappointed to learn that the Tent only sites had no water available. The water at the pump out station was broke so I had to stop by a campsite to fill up my jugs. There was significant poison ivy and long weeds around my campsite and that of my friends. Disappointed it was not trimmed better. Great to be back at Payne. Front gate people were friendly.

The bathrooms need more attention. The shower walls in the Mens side had mold on them. There are no hooks for hanging anything and no shelf either, and the floor is very dirty from use. There should be a mat to keep muddy shoes from getting the floors so dirty that getting out of the shower and keeping your feet clean is impossible. My wife said that the light was out in one shower stalls and she had to shower in the dark because the other was in use and the shower walls were slimy there too.
We were on a campsite by the water and had to be very careful not to trip on the uneven ground. Lots of dips and holes hidden in the uncut weeds. One big hole just off the pavement next to extra parking area that caused a fall and I stepped in a hole that could have caused an injury.
Certainly would think that before a HOLIDAY weekend the grass would be cut and showers cleaned up. We picked up gobs of goose poop also and I know that is something that comes with the territory unfortunately.
This campground has been closed for a couple of years and now could use some close attention to details.

Payne Campground is convenient to major interstates that lead to Atlanta or North Georgia mountains. Many sites are waterfront with an excellent boat dock. The hosts were very nice, friendly, and helpful when neighbors became too noisy after hours. The sites could use some maintenance as this campground had been closed for a couple of years.
