As campers have gotten more sophisticated and requires for battery power the campground needs electric. Not all you hear is generators running. You wake up, generators are running, you go outside for a nice sit down, generators are running, at night you don’t even hear the river, generators are running. There is powder to tallaugh for the camp host. You should be able to run electric to most of the sites. As for rangers forget it. You don’t see them. Ever ! The camp host wasn’t even there no one. And the reservation system ruined the camping in Georgia as far as we are concerned . Too many people reserve and don’t show up .

The reservation process was simple and straightforward. The trip was everything we expected and more. We caught lots of fish and met new friends.

This is a decent campground, however there are many locals that will come on and take your site if you leave for some reason. In my case i had to leave due to inclement weather. I returned the next morning after only leaving the previous evening to find some local group already in my site. I lost a day I paid for due to this.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
