Nice campground, clean and places to walk. The lake was way too busy with boat activity for us. The surrounding area was too congested for us (too close to Atlanta).

We enjoy Bolding Mill and it being on the upper end of Lake Lanier (not as much boat traffic). Very quite, clean campground.
Plenty of boat ramp parking. There were two different camp host while we were there. The first couple durning the week was AMAZING!! The gentlemen for the weekend however, was not as nice nor friendly. He made sure to tell any of our guests (family loves to come and cook out with us for the day and take a boat ride), that they had to be out of the campground at 9:30pm and he closed the gates at that time. We do not appreciate this, since the sign only states that the gate closes at 10:30pm. We did not appreciate his tone nor his demeanor. We hope to come back, but since this happened more than once, we will have to make sure he is not the host at our next camping trip. We do wish we had gotten his name, we would recognize him, since this has happened multiple camping trips to Bolding Mill. We may have to start going to a different campground.

We were very impressed with the campground, the facilities and of course the lake views. The camp sites are large and clean and the bathrooms and showers were clean. The staff at the front gate were helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

VERY HARD if not NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to modify a reservation. Not fair to camping consumer. Error on web…gate personnel refer to one stop phone Line…reservation phone # defers to camp host…camp host points to ranger office…Rangers recommend website
