Old Federal

We came and reserved a space/lot in our Camper Trailer for a few days during the week (its VERY hard and just about impossible to find ANY lots available for the weekends, as they are ALL booked and reserved out for months it seemed.) Not just here but at any of the surrounding Lake Lanier Campgrounds. Very friendly staff, felt very safe & secure as far as my own personal safety of course, but most of all for our Camper and all of our belongings. Our lot happened to be right beside the bathrooms/showers and they even had washers and dryers you can pay to use right between the mens & womens entry points to the bathroom. Wonderful environment, all of the other campers were very respectful of everyone's privacy (all other campers and their personal space) while remaining to be friendly at the same time (as far as saying "Hi/Hello" and throwing up a hand wave anytime you walk/drive by someone). Just like most other campgrounds there is a "curfew" and "quiet time" where no one is supposed to be allowed to enter/exit from 10pm-7am every day. So if you work and not just "vacationing", or have anywhere to be in between those times, I would just suggest making some sort of other arrangements. Im not quite sure how they would respond or if they would allow any exceptions ( except under emergency circumstances of course). Overall we had a great experience at Old Federal Campground, and it was not only NICER and had more RV/Camper room compared to the alternative at Fort Yargo (the first campground we visited and checked out) but it was also a few dollars CHEAPER too!! So it was a win/win for us! Watch out for the squirrels when driving, as they are NOT afraid of people/cars and will walk right up to you or run right up to and in front of moving vehicles and stop. Unfortunately, in one day there were 3 that had all become road kill from running out or towards vehicles. So sweet and cute, but a little TOO BRAVE! Lol Would definitely camp there again for sure! Recommendable!

I would have given five stars for campsite itself. Beautiful. The reason for the three stars is unfortunately there were some campsites with a lot of people making a lot of noise. Dogs barking and most of all only one dump station open. We had to leave without dumping as we would have been there for hours. People taking their time and s long line. We dumped when we got to our new location.

Best campground ever. All sites are waterfront. Large, shady, grassy. Plenty of space between sites.

Gate Keepers are sarcastic at times. Seem to want to make sure guests make sure who is in control.

Beautiful spot on the lake. Very well maintained site and facilities

We always enjoy Old Federal since our boat is close by. It's clean and well cared for but it is very disappointing that it closes so early

Our site on the water was beautiful, the sand beach for boats & swimming just 100 ft away. Nice & quite at night. Previous campers left garbage in a tarp in our pit...took 2 days to get it taken away, that was only complaint. Campers clean up after yourselves.

Beautiful views. Very clean and quiet park. One of our favorites

There are no bad sites at Old Federal. It’s a wonderful campground.

Fred n Debbie have been awesome. They have been thoroughly helpful when we needed. They maintained the campground very well. Clean restrooms, lawn mowed n cleaned regularly.
The campground was a little bit of a disappointment because each campsite was just 10ft away from each other.
But the campground in general was great. The beach near us was good. The surprise was the Persimmon trees which were full with ripe fruits. The best persimmons ever.
