Site was beautiful and clean. Close to bath house which was also spotless. Staff very friendly. Had excellent Verizon Cell Service. Dollar General nearby and Walmart about 13 mi along with grocery stores and food. Cant wait to return!

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.
