The pictures of the site 52 is a big lie! The grass was overgrown, there’re big threes fallen blocking the way to the beach and is kind of in the middle of the street! Nothing like the pictures they show online, we left the place right away because we were worried for the safety of our children and I call customer service (nice lady that agreed with me) but after a couple of days I received an email, of course they denied the money back request. First time I have this awful experience at a campground, we’ll never come back here.

Gate attendants were very helpful and knowledgeable. The site was clean except for the fire pit. Rest rooms and showers were very clean. There are many dead trees and piles of branches everywhere that need cleaned up. A second dump station needs to be added.

This park is a disgrace. It was one of the nicest parks operated by the core a few years ago. Grass not cut. Limbs and debris everywhere. Playground equipment dirty and unsafe to approach. I ask the attendant if I could bring some equipment to cut the grass and clean up and I was told it was not advisable.

Really enjoyed camping here. Decided to stay despite the reviews. Everything seemed up to date. Campsite was clean, everyone was friendly. Bathrooms were pretty much clean but could be cleaned up more. Only issue is the gates being locked at 10:30. What if someone in a wheelchair or something of that sort pulls up with camping equipment in the middle of night and can’t get to their campsite? They also told us as we got there no camp host will let us in. So all of that was strange. Hope they change it one day. Otherwise no issues at all! Felt very safe.

This place has always been one of our favorites on lake Lanier. But lately it's been looking run down. The grass around the sites is always tall. The trees in the water make it hard to swim and fear of snakes hiding in trees or tall grass. We were there during the tornado in July and then again in September. The trees that fell in the campground are still laying where they fell and limbs where we helped cut down.

Super nice host checking in; super nice level, clean, bug-free site (pull-thru site 41); super nice, clean bathrooms. Only downfall is there's only one dump station, but we didn't have to wait too long. Oh, and no recycling bin. Otherwise, it was super!! :)

Used to be our favorite park to camp. Staff is great and very friendly. Maintenance around the park has been lacking over the last couple of years. Trees that have fallen are just left lying around and the grass is infrequently mowed and then only around camp sites.
