Old Federal

Have never seen park look so bad. Grounds are not maintained, in some areas grass and weeds were 4 ft tall. Bathrooms not cleaned for days.

Very nice camp sites. Beautiful views

Staff was very professional, courteous, and helpful. Camp sites were clean and well maintained. Waterfront and water views were at every campsite. Restrooms and showers were clean and well lit. We are definitely staying here again!!

This is probably our 10th stay at Old Federal. We live nearby and can make it up there after a full day of work Friday before the gates close, so we have been there a number of times over the years. I think the COE does an excellent job of managing the Lanier campgrounds, but it's hard to overlook how government cuts have hit these Federal campgrounds. it's discouraging to see at least 3 sites out of operation and the volunteers that are working are frustrated at what they are being asked to do. We had campers fly a drone over our site and linger there, then fly over a pontoon on the water and surveil them from overhead for a few minutes. A patrolling sheriff happened to drive by the operator, but either didn't see the controller or chose not to deal with it. Prima donna or not, I miss having the grass trimmed around the sites and fallen trees addressed in a timely manner. That all said, I think the COE does an excellent job managing what they have to work with. But I worry that the sites won't be around for our kids and that is really heartbreaking.

Beautiful site with nice views of the lake

Love Old Federal. Would wish that grass was more completely cut…not just next to roads.
