Who do I make contact with about offering my services at the park regarding that I have a tractor with bush hog cutter, chain saws, mowers, brush cutters, etc. I could do alot of clean up around there during this off season. Could bring down trees and operate my chipper.
Who do I contact?

This is a beautiful campground with lovely lakeside sites. The sites are fairly close together, which isn’t ideal, but otherwise it is great. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the bathhouses are clean. I hope to go back there again.

We always enjoy camping at Bald Ridge Park campground. The only problem with this stay is an apparent cutback in service at the campground. Bathrooms were normally taken care of every day and the grass was well trimmed but this time they apparently cut back in those areas. Trash was not emptied in the restroom and toilets were running out of toilet paper. On the positive side, the campground host were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful.

Great spot, easy access to water for kayaking and fishing (many sites here at Bald Ridge Creek have easy water access, but some are steeper/more difficult). Attendants were cheerful and polite. Plenty of space and nice level/smooth pad for tent camping. Bathrooms & showers okay (but getting a little long in the tooth but clean and fully functional).

High grass near campsites that are close to water is an invitation to water moccasins to hang out. There are also many small children in this same area. And, we all know that water moccasins and children don't play well together. So, mow the grass! This is a safety issue, not a budget issue. Then to add another insult to this, you are greeted at the front gate with a handmade sign that says that if you're not happy with the tall grass, call the park ranger. The hosts have been wonderful, but this smells of discontent in the management of this park. This place is much to nice to suffer from this kind of fixable issue.

This was our second visit to Bald Ridge Creek. Our site (54) was very exposed and had few trees, which is not the norm for this campground. The pictures on the reservation site show several trees, but they must have come down at some point. The site has waterfront access although the water level is low on Lake Lanier (late Sept 2022). The site was level and easy to back into. The campground is very nice to walk around and has a small wooded trail at the back of one of the loops. No complaints, other than the extremely windy weather (which the campground has no control over). Lots to do nearby, such as visit Dahlonega or hike. There is a Kroger grocery store and other shopping a few minutes away.

Very clean park, with spacious spots. I was surprised to find they had a washer and dryer at the bath house. And best of all, it was close to the family we were visiting. Would stay there again.
