Sprawling campground in a rapidly urbanizing area. This campground will soon be an island of recreation and trees in a sea of houses and auto manufacturing plants. Sites huge, well spaced, wooded, private. Some driveways can be steep, long for back in. Concrete and asphalt sites mostly. A good but distant enough base for exploring Atlanta, Columbus, Pine Mountain, Tuskegee, and Auburn attractions. Gates locked overnight. You can leave, but you cannot get back in until dawn. In the Eastern Time Zone, barely… phone times change as you walk about in the campground and can change back and forth from Eastern to Central at campsites.

The campground and lake are beautiful. Site 26 was a large private site with an area to pull a boat up or let the kids swim. This site has a great view of the lake and fishing was not bad at night. We caught a few catfish. This site has a burn ring with a cooking grill made into the ring. Also, there is a table and lantern holder present. The restroom is a short distance from this site. The restrooms need updated, but is clean. The bath showers are the same way, clean but need updated. The grounds are well kelp. The attendants at the gate are very nice and made our stay much more pleasant. Starlink worked great at this site.I will be booking another stay at this campground soon. Thank You for a great stay.

The campsite was great, my wife wants to come back. It had great sunsets. The view of the eagles nest was awesome as well. The lake was quiet. Make a trip to the Visitors center.
