We camped with two other couples on three sites and had a lovely time! The water was beautiful and perfectly calm first thing in the morning to take the kayaks out. I think all three couples loved feeling normal during this Covid season. The sky at night was just beautiful as we enjoyed an evening boat ride. We were grateful for good weather!!

Excellent site, we stayed on site 71! Lots of room for our camper (32 ft. travel trailer) on a concrete pad. Separate area with picnic table, firepit, and grill with extra space to play cornhole. Perfect little path to get down to the water to fish, we were able to catch three catfish! The site was shaded and close to the bathhouse. Bathhouses were clean and well lit. The entire campground is really nice with a playground and beach, which our kids loved. Staff was really nice, they sell firewood and ice at the campground so you don't have to go far for those necessities. Our kids enjoyed riding their bikes and scooters around the entire campground. Everything is within walking distance. Majority of the sites have a lake view and water access. Already booked our next trip to come again!

Baldridge Creek is a great campground for bringing your own boat as many sites are right on the lake. The campground is laid out nicely for children having some freedom to safely ride bikes or to fish right from the edge of the campsites. The majority of sites are large with plenty of privacy. Many golf courses are within a short driving distance of the campground as well as plenty of great dining and shopping opportunities. Always a friendly staff on duty.

Bald Ridge is the best campsite on Lake Lanier, maybe top 3 in the state!

Site 4: Great stay. Only negative is, the COE had cut many large pine trees and laid them at the edge of the lake into the shallow part of the water, I believe to inhibit erosion of shoreline. For us, it was unpleasant to swim or play on the shore because of the tree limbs. There were also unseen tree limbs underwater that would catch your feet/legs. It also made it hard to boat up to the sites.

The park is beautiful. There is more grass than I've ever seen at a Camping Park. There are a lot of sites with lake access. The pictures of each site are not really accurate because there is normally more shade than the picture shows. We stayed for 4 nights and loved it! The attendants, Gail and Joe are awesome...we have made reservations for the end of July. This will be a park we will go to again and again!

Took our grandkids for their first camping trip. They had fun but was disappointed that the playground and beach was closed because of covid-19. Beautiful spot near bathhouse ( site 50). There was a sandy area that kids could swim from site. Very peaceful. Will camp here again when everything opens up.
