Nice time, great hosts (who will be missed) but the bathrooms where not as clean as usual and not cleaned or straightened up the two days we where there.

Found our new favorite Georgia COE park.
We stayed in site #72 and absolutely loved it.
Beautiful views and refreshing breeze from the water.

We had an awesome time in the park, very clean and beautiful! The two women host that have been at the park for an extended time, not sure of their names are very nice and make you feel welcome. They go out of their way to speak to you and make sure everything is going well. They make the stay worthwhile!

아틀란타에서 가까운 거리에 위치하고 있어 접근이 용이하고 깨끗하게 정리된 캠핑사이트는 아주 평안한 마음을 준다. 넓은 호수를 바라볼 수 있어서 더욱 좋았다. 그런데 샤워실 바닥에 물이 많이 고여 있어서 좀 불편했다.

The people and sites are great. We have stayed there many times and love it. This time was not so fun. A storm and tornado or microburst hit us on site 55 and it flipped our 37 ft trailer over. We were ok but trailer totaled. The staff and other campers were so helpful and kind. Obviously not their fault!! Two other trailers where blown over. There are some strong storms that come across the lake but this was unique. At least 100 mph winds. But I would definitely recommend Old Federal.

This is the second time we visited Old Federal this year. It is a great park and most of the sites have Great Lake views. The staff is excellent.

Tents should not be allowed to rent a RV spot and need to cut grass in all areas.
