Beautiful campground! We had a great stay. The restrooms could use a little attention though~ no soap or paper towels either day we were there.

Great view. Nice people. Enjoyed it.
Goose Poop was the only issue. We had to clean our site and our grand daughter was not able to wonder around. Not enough of an issue to keep us away. Just a little annoying.

We had a great time, even though it rained for close to 75% of the time we were there. I really liked the beach and swimming in Lake Lanier. The lakeside campsites are fantastic and we will plan to be there again, at Old Federal to enjoy more camping !

All was fine although my wife did not believe the women’s restroom was as clean as it could be immediately after it was cleaned.
