This is a beautiful park with outstanding views from most sites. We had difficulty reserving a site (it apparently is very popular) so we ended up in one of the sites without any shade (97 degrees that weekend!). Site was level and very easy to back into. Restrooms were clean, but we did not use the showers. Campground hosts very friendly and helpful. Our kids had a great time at the beach and walking through the park. The dump station was very clean. This park is 10 minutes down the road from our house and we intend to be regulars! The addition of sewers would improve our rating to a 10. Many campers also brought watercraft, which were tied up to the shoreline. Very quiet; no problems with noise or bad behavior. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We loved this campground. Every loop is on a different finger projecting into Lainier Lake. We had a grassy, partially shaded site with a level concrete pad, water, and 50 amps. The park is absolutely beautiful and is super to walk, bike, or kayak. We stayed two nights and would have liked to have stayed longer. If it had sewer at the site, we would have given it a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

From everything we have read, we expected this to be the best since sliced bread. It was nice but nowhere near as nice as Fort Yargo in Winder or Chestnut Ridge (now closed) right down the road. I did not think the sites were private enough. The park was really clean and there are many nice views. The one big issue we had was that the showers did not have hot enough hot water. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

As a native Georgian and a camper in many parks in this state, Old Federal is the best campground in the state for the views. 95% of the sites have views of Lake Lanier. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is the bathrooms are sometimes not clean. Everything else is perfect. Most sites are wide enough apart to give you plenty of privacy. Old Federal is a great place to take a walk or a bike ride in the morning or dusk. This is a great place to stay for several days just to get away from it all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We've stayed at this Corps of Engineers campground a number of times, and continue to be impressed. The campsites #64-74 on the peninsula have level concrete pads and are the best in the park. The gates lock at 10:30pm and don't reopen until 7:00am, so be aware if you are going out for dinner. If you do get locked out, there is good parking just outside the gate and the walk in to your campsite isn't bad. No alcohol allowed inside the park. Nice selection of sites - some with shade, some open. Campground hosts are friendly and eager that you have a good stay. The city of Gainesville is about 5 miles north of the campground and has ample shopping and restaurants. A major RV dealer is about 5 miles from the campground as well. Highly recommended! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Corp of Engineers campground. Super nice! Boating, swimming, skiing on Lake Sydney Lanier, 50 miles North of Atlanta GA. Maximum stay is 14 days. Very popular, so it's best to reserve in advance during peak summer season. We camped here in a camper.
