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.

The lady at the check-in was so pleasant and a joy to talk to. It makes for a better experience when
you encounter friendly people.

We had a wonderful time & our site #58 was amazing but it was a little challenging due to the drop off at the end of the site. Luckily we had extra blocks & could manage to support the backend of the camper. With no picture available of the site online, I’m glad someone else posted their experience there. The bath house needed better lighting. The staff was very courteous & very helpful.

We love this campground. Just wish the other army corps of engineer camps were open so it was not so busy. Three campgrounds are closed because they were unable to staff them. This is a real shame.

Great location and beautifully maintained campgrounds. A full service campsite overlooking the lake with deer and foxes running around. Less than an hour from Atlanta!
