We had a beautiful campsite overlooking the lake. I would recommend this campground Highly. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement are the bath houses. They just need some updating and TLC, the bathhouses were cleaned every day, so not a cleanliness issue.

One of the best COE campgrounds we have encountered! Very well laid out with spacious sites and well maintained roads and public areas. Cell phone coverage was a bit weak, but we camp for the relaxation anyway. 20-30 minutes from anything you'd need in Augusta GA makes for a nice feeling of being away from it all. Site 43 was spacious and no leveling blocks needed.

Stayed in our 40 Ft. Class A motorhome with Jeep tow. Beautiful, large site, overlooked lake. We were able to launch our kayaks from site and ride our E-bikes around this large campground. It was peaceful and the facilities were clean and well maintained. We stayed on site 46 B for 10 nights. The staff at the entry (Ranger Station) were kind and very helpful. We will surely stay again if we are in the area.

There are limbs that hang too low scraping the top of my RV, the pull thru site (#41) isn’t really pull thru because of where the W/E connections are, and I don’t like no having the code to get in/out any more. If you are going to lock people in, it should be later than 10:00 and opened earlier than 7:00.

This park is big rig doable but not big rig friendly. Some on the sites would be hard to get into with a big rig so choose carefully. The views of the lake were nice and the breeze kept it cool. Wish this park had WI-Fi and sewer. The gate hose is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.
