Sawnee

It is so peaceful here. But the sites and facilities are excellent and clean.

Do not ever stay here in a tent, lot 53. I could not sleep at all. The cars on the busy road were right next to us. Basically felt like we broke down on the road and had a tent and slept on the highway. Also, across the street is a house where their kids were up till 2am playing basketball. So you could hear the dribbling. Just if you stay here do not stay anywhere close to the major street in a tent. Other than that it’s a fine park.

Campground is older and on the small side. It's not laid out well and hard to navigate. It's also right beside the interstate and there's a fair amount of road noise. The bathhouse is very sketchy, felt dirty, and no matter what I did I could not keep my things dry.

Site and stay was awesome

COE campgrounds are the best. Large site with concrete pad great view and in top shape. Will stay again when in the aea.

It was quiet and the facilities were clean and well maintained.

Been to this campsite over 5 times and it has been a great experience in the past. Problem is the campsite 50 had so many ants it was a health hazard. When I got there the grass looked to be recently cut and it aggravated hundreds of ants all over the campground. I tried to setup a tent but they are all over the camp ground so it was impossible to keep them out. I had to eventually leave.

All other campsites that I have been on this ground have been great. Be sure to bring ant spray or ask for another site. I could not since it was getting late and this was the only campsite available.

We only camped one night but had a great time. The check in hosts (Trish and Will, I believe?) we extremely kind and helpful. The waterside sites are gorgeous but I would avoid the sites that back up to Buford Dam Road due to noise and lack of scenery. We were in site 7, which is quite small for a trailer. Ours is 16 ft and I would not try with something larger. Ideal for tents though. The bathrooms were clean but very minimal. No trash cans in the bathrooms, so please pack your garbage out. There are bins outside the bathroom. I did notice the dumpster was overflowing and needed to be picked up. The campground was very quiet at night, but be aware, there are houses across the lake from some of the sites. It could get noisy especially around summer holidays. We live locally and are familiar with Lake Lanier. There is lots of do here for recreation, as well as stores and restaurants (Target, Walmart, Taco Mac, etc). There is a beautiful trail along the Chattahoochee nearby called Bowman's Island. Sawnee mountain is also nearby. If you want to drive further, lots of hiking and cute mountain towns about an hour away (Dahlonega, etc).

Camp spots are small
