Our favorite site right in the cove!

@Christina28186 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #53

Perfect spot for a day at the lake. We loved it!

@DouglasJ264140 · Camped on Aug 11, 2024 at Campsite #33

We, as tax payers should be able to camp overnight at this campground.

@VirginiaS13917 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #21

Beautiful site. Needed H/C access, worked out great.

@JanG6519734 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #34

This is a beautiful campground on Lake Lanier. It became a day use area with very limited times due to lack of staff. This is such a shame as clearly it cannot be well maintained. The sites overlook the lake, they are clean. Day use folks next to us had a big party and the sheriffs department came about five times. Dont know what that was about but it was disturbing on such a peaceful lake view site! Then they cranked the music up and thats when we left. We noticed the other Pugh park area was beyond full.overrun with people on a Sunday afternoon. There was no one at the gate to manage the crowd.

Excellent!

@JanetG5443740 · Camped on Jul 6, 2024 at Campsite #31

Staff was very rude and unpleasant

@RobertWS2EEC51 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #53

Our favorite day use area, not overly crowded and very clean

@LISAS7216541 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #20

Beautiful place to visit. We have stayed at a few different campsites and everyone of them have been incredible for their different attributes. 19,20, and 21 you can get into the water. 53 an absolute beautiful overlook into the bay like area filled with fish and bait. Cant wait to try 38 and 39. Site 42 is a dream. The Staff at the entrance are friendly and helpful. We were visited by park volunteers who shared fish stories and photos. Honestly we feel like were known there. Security was perfect expect someone to come around every hour or so. A rain storm was coming and the park ranger came to look out from the pier at the rain clouds across the lake. We stayed for the rain which quickly passed. Floating on our paddle board watching the rain bounce off of the water. Twin deer fawns and mom were wondering the campground. Honestly a day at the campground fulfills you as though you had a complete vacation. I visit almost every week now.

Location and scenery were good. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand why many sites were empty and I couldn't make a reservation.

@BarryW8268737 · Camped on Aug 30, 2022 at Campsite #24

Quiet campsite on the water

@Elizabeth86784 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #32

One of the most beautiful campsites we've ever stayed in. Site #32 is perfectly level and has it's own large peninsula and access to a beach area shared with #33. Whole campground is well maintained and clean. Restrooms and showers are clean. Will stay here again!

@KeriB7813001 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #22

We were in site 22, and the picnic table area is down the hill from the site. We had a lovely lake view, but it would not be an easy place to get in and swim. Our stay was quiet and relaxing, and laundry is only $1.50 to wash and dry in the machines at the bath house. We enjoyed our time there!

@LizP4106036 · Camped on Aug 22, 2022 at Campsite #12

Tom and Mildred are great! I have never had a bad experience here. Looking forward to coming back :) Thank you!

@Elizabeth86784 · Camped on Aug 22, 2022 at Campsite #9

Very well maintained campground. The lake is beautiful! Showers and Bathroom are very clean. Stayed at site #32 which is a great. Has a semi-private beach, 270 degree views, level.

@JulioR6337538 · Camped on Aug 19, 2022 at Campsite #36

Awesome park very nice people, I will go back every summer

@JayH3866534 · Camped on Aug 19, 2022 at Campsite #42

I was highly impressed by the park roads, restrooms, and most camp sites. Many of the sites were terrifically located and fairly private. Several Tent sites were too close but that was rare. I loved the small beaches near several campsites - these are visible from the satellite view of the campground. My main disappointment was noise. Nobody should hear the maintenance group blowing leaves at 7:30am when you are camping. The camp ground being near the lake had a party atmosphere because one set of boats anchored out of the camp site blared music until 11:00pm and the next day one family blared music from their site. If it had not been for the noise of these groups I would have rated this with five stars. Hopefully, you will not experience the same issues and will have a truly nice time camping. I will likely give it another try because it is close, cheap, and was a beautiful location.

Bathrooms need some work and cleaning

@RichardW987513 · Camped on Jun 24, 2022 at Campsite #7

clean and very peaceful

@KimB909 · Camped on Sep 6, 2021 at Campsite #35

Excellent place to go camping in tents 10x10 ft or smaller and RVs under 26 ft. Well maintained roadways, sites, tent pads, RV/car driveways, scenic lake views, many sites with water access, clean bathrooms with hot water, boat ramp, and even a park next door. People that run the place are nice and friendly too. Dog friendly place, big dogs allowed, keep dogs on leash.

@johnf190 · Camped on Sep 6, 2021 at Campsite #34

Beautiful campsites on the water. Sites are on the small side. We had site 34 which was big enough for our 24 ft tt. Restrooms were nice and very clean. Will be back next year.

@MitchP587 · Camped on Sep 4, 2021 at Campsite #33

Great campground.

@MelissaF148 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #2

Very friendly man at the gate. Site was clean and well-kept. The bathroom had no soap for a day. I told the gate person, and there was soap the next day.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
