Very nice park, the ranger was very helpful and very friendly. My wife isn't big on camping in state parks but loved this one. The ranger on Saturday night took the kids on a tractor ride around the park. The sites are spaced apart enough for a little privacy. The new section is extremely private. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One of the nicest parks i have ever stayed in. The sites are level and graveled. Very nice setting and quiet. Nature trails. Will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rest of the staff may be ok, but the one we got to check us in was rude, and gave us the third degree. Sites are big and new, but nothing but red dirt surrounding them, no grass. miles away from lake and pool, golf course was well maintained so if thats your thing then by all means. Will not stay here again, not the best GA parks has to offer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Although it's a fairly small campground, it is well maintained and has good access from I-85. It would make a good stopover enroute to another destination. The state park has a golf course, and seems to be used mostly by local residents of this rural area. The campground has been recenly renovated, and each campsite had new retaining walls, utility boxes, and fresh gravel. Most of the sites were very level and spaced for a good degree of privacy. The staff was cordial, and the state park was a pleasant place to be. Plenty of restaurants and shopping available in Hartwell, a few miles down the road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This has to be Georgia's best keep secret within the state park system. I have never seen
cleaner, well maintained sites. The April-Sept hosts rake the gravel in each site after the occupant leaves and clean out the fire pit. The sites are huge and level. Playground equipment is in excellent shape. One of the camping areas is laid out in a loop. There is a common area in the center with a nice gazebo, grills, well groomed volleyball court, fire pit, horseshoe court and tetherball court. The sites go out from it like spokes on a wheel. This makes it ideal for family or camping groups. However, they are well spaced so that if you're not part of a group, you still have plenty of privacy. The bathrooms and laundry are spotless. Upon arrival, the CG hosts brought us a packet of info and offered to help out in any way. They even helped me free my son's bike after I accidentally backed over it! Campers pay $1/day to swim at the pool. There is a beautiful creek that is great for hiking and picnicking. The Highland Walk Golf Course is less than 5 min. from the park. There are also 8 miles of trails as well as 2 fishing ponds. It's about an hour from Tallulah Gorge and Toccoa Falls. This makes for an excellent day trip. It's also an easy drive over to the outlets in Commerce. Lake Hartwell is also nearby. We stayed here for 5 wonderful days in June and can't wait to go back! Even without full hook-ups, this little park is a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
