We had an amazing time at Campsite 16. The location right on the lake is unbeatable—beautiful views, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of water activities like kayaking and fishing. The campsites were clean and spacious, with easy access to the water. Staff were friendly, and the facilities were well-maintained. Watching the sunset over the lake by the campfire was the perfect way to end each day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, lakeside escape!

Location is just inside GA state line through Anderson. Just a little farther down the road to walmart and other grocery stores. Friendly staff. Quiet, peaceful and very enjoyable. We recommend this campground for winter campers, as the bathhouse is heated and always maintained well.

First time experience and all was very enjoyable, everyone associated with campground very friendly and helpful. Neat, clean, and enjoyable. On our list to return in the future. Was the off season and very quiet, Hartwell is near by with anything you might need. Didn't get the chance to fish or canoe but planning on it next trip. Plan early for your trip there, very popular.

Campground Hosts were very sweet and took time to talk to us. It would be nice if the campsite area away from the main road would have been open to lessen noise.

We were only able to stay one night but would have loved to stay longer. Beautiful campground and the campground host was most helpful. Will definitely stay again if possible.
