We stayed here overnight on our way down to Florida. It was reasonably priced at $20 with full hook ups. Cable was not needed as the antenna was able to pick up a lot of channels. The road noise from I-75 was a little annoying, but was bearable. The sites were a good size and for the most part level. This campground is actually named Forest Glen Mobile Home & RV Park. It is quick on and off I-75 and makes for a nice stopover for the trip south. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We found this to be a very nice clean well kept little campground. The mobile home sites are completely separated from the RV sites. Most are pull through and full hook ups. It is close to I-75, but I did not find the noise a problem at all. I did have a problem with the 50 amp outlet, but the 30 amp worked fine. One does not need cable, as TV is very good off antenna. There is a swimming pool and sufficient amenities to make a satisfactory stay. Roads are good, asphalt parking for the RV. It does need either a paved area around entrance doors or at least gravel in the event it rains. It is nicely wooded, but trees are not a navigation problem within the park. I would stay here again without hesitation. We were warmly greeted and shown to our site even though the office was closed for the day. It is an easy in and easy out campground. Situated just off Exit 201 and west 1/4 mile. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only reason this place received a 2 was that it was convenient to I-75. We had a reservation for a large site. The desk person sent us to it. It was occupied! (BTW the board in the office had us assigned to the site!) She sent us to another site where the back end of the MoHo was too low to level. (A big No-No raising the brake wheels off the ground.) We went back and she said pick anyone you want and let me know which one you choose. After trying 3 other sites, we found a very unlevel site but we could use it because we were able to raise the front enough with the levelers. People arrived after us and could not find level parking areas either. This park is horrible! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a well maintained mobile home park with a separate area for RVs. Most of the sites are pull through and long enough for most rigs, but most are sloped or humped in the middle and cannot be used without disconnecting the toad. There are 3 to 4 long, level, big rig sites that do not require the toad to be disconnected. They are typically used for overnighters. The mobile home side of the park has some sites that were converted for RV use for longer term stays. Those lots are large, level and wooded. The park is close to the interstate, so there is road noise. Laundry facilities are available. The staff is friendly, but they are mobile home managers, not RV park managers. If you have a large rig, get a big rig site or ask for one of the RV sites in the mobile home section. We camped here in a Motorhome.
OK for a stop over which is what this park is about. Many sites are sloping such that a motorhome can not level. Travel Trailers and 5er's should have no problem. Very close to the interstate so if you are a light sleeper you may want to take a good shot of NyQel before going to bed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were at site 77 and it has a very nice patio deck in front on the camper area over looking a hillside. There was no one to the left of us but the camper behind was somewhat close but it was no problem at all. The bathhouses was very clean. The office has wifi but you have to have your own computer. If you like Mexican there is a very good restaurant less than a mile if you take a left out of the park. There is also Fresh air bbq heading back toward Jackson. It's rated the best bbq in Georgia. The Nature trails were a mile from the park and were nice if you like animals. We will be going back in the summer time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground loop #2 has been recently upgraded--sites are level, new bathroom. Loop #1 is still okay, just older. Staff is very friendly. The spring is pretty neat but smells of sulfur. Miniature golf, swimming and bike riding were are favorite activities. There is an old cemetary just outside of the campground. Very interesting piece of history. We will definitely go back again to camp. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This was our first year as campers. Indian springs is about 10 min from our house so we thought this would be great for our first time. And it was. The park was very clean and maintained and you would see security about every 30 min. It became very quiet about 10pm and we plan on going there in May. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park with roomy wooded sites. We camped here Thanksgiving weekend in 2006. Staff was very helpful and provided us with accurate information about attractions available in the area. Some of the sites along the lake shore are a little close together but most are well spaced. Playground for children and a short (3/4 mile) nature trail is available as well as miniature golf and fishing boats. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a great Georgia State Park and the campground has been renovated this year with new gravel sites, wood decks, and paved access roads. Although many sites overlook the beautiful lake, they are not truly "waterfront" due to the steep and long trail down to the water. However, it is possible to stage a boat at the shore and walk to your campsite. Our Verizon phones and internet just barely worked in the campground, but a decent signal is present in other areas of the park. The nearest town, Jackson, has groceries and services with a few restaurants. This is a great "get away from it all" state park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a much-improved park from when we were there in March 2004. Area 1 is now overflow-only and, according to the hosts, will not be renovated. Area 2 is newly renovated and very nice. Sites are generally level, and are clean, well-spaced and shaded. There's also a small but nice playground in Area 2. As mentioned earlier, some sites have a deck-type set-up, many of which overlook the lake below. There's plenty to do in the park itself - miniature golf, paddle & fishing boat rentals, trails, a swimming beach, and the springs themselves, which are steeped in history. 2 years ago, we would've given this park a 5 or 6. Now it's a 9. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an excellent facility that can accomodate any RV. The sites are large with excellent water and electrical service. Many of the sites have a great view of the lake. Many have unique patio with retaining walls that were very expensive to construct. The park covers a large area that requires you to disconnect your vehicle or ride a bicycle over many hills. The park has a long history that is very interesting. The office is a historical home of people who were very active in Georgia politics and history. This park is a fine public campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Just wanted to clarify that pets ARE allowed at this park and all Georgia State Parks...I noticed at the top of the page it said pets were not allowed. This is a very nice park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Everything was great! Only thing I would of liked would of been a sewer hookup, but not to be expected in a State Park. The 2nd camping section is the new section. The sites are larger in the new section We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
