Very nice campground near Evans/Augusta, GA. We camped in site 52 with a 27’ travel trailer in a site with a 50 Amp hook up and water. Access to the campground is via good, paved roads. Cell phone coverage was ok with Verizon – 16 mb download/3.5mb upload. 16 channels of OTA TV with ABC as the only prime. Our site (#52) was a fine gravel, very level, huge, private, and right on the lake with easy access for our 27-foot trailer. One note on this site is that it can get breezy here on the point, others are more protected – good in the summer, not so much in the winter. The other sites varied in size, but generally large with privacy (some have steep entry and exit, so choose carefully). There was 1 restroom nearby (uphill hike) shared with other loops) and 3 others serving the campground. There were no doors on the showers (plastic curtains only), so leave your valuables at the RV. Free laundry facilities, but only 1 washer and dryer for the entire campground. These were older facilities that could stand to be updated, but they were clean and had good hot water. There are 2 dump stations with reasonable access. The one closest to the ranger station has a tight turn to exit, but the 2nd one is good. This campground served as our base for exploring the area. The scenery here at the park was great – right on the lake with terrific sunsets. There is occasional noise from boats during the weekend but very quiet at night. We didn’t see much of the campground hosts, but the restrooms were clean. 50% discount with Federal Golden Age Pass.

Lots of sites on the Lake. Sites are good sized and have woods/shrubs between. Good walking and mountain bike trails. Roads ok to bike on. Free washer and dryer!! Wifi and cell spotty. Rained most of the time we were there, but would go back.

Site is very sloped down getting in and up getting out. It was hard to find a level spot at the bottom for a 33ft TT. Would definitely pass on this site next time. Would work fine for a pop up or tent,
