We've been here before and hope to be back again. Just gorgeous, clean and well maintained. Boat ramp and fairly decent shower house. Located at the junction of FL, GA & AL and right on the line dividing eastern and central time zones. Good groceries very nearby in Sneads (Piggly Wiggly). Highly recommended.

We started and ended our trip going west here. Bainbridge is closest town. It has large old fashion downtown area with many shops. The campground is clean and well taken care of. If you can get lot on the lake, they are great.

The view in loop A was breathtaking! Our whole group stayed for 2 nights and we did spray for ants because of the other reviews. Also the biggest complaint I have, was the host was so ugly to us because our phones had switched time zones and we were going by the wrong time. When we tried to tell him that he did not care whatsoever so we packed up the camper super quick and my review should advise... The view in loop A was breathtaking!

When we tried to tell him that he did not care whatsoever so we packed up the camper super quick and my review should advise you that on loop A still go by EST. Other than that the kids really didn't have anything to do so if you have kids make sure you have things to occupy them with. The wildlife was cool and the fishing was nice too. Hope this helps anyone! Make sure you hit the helpful button! 😊👍

This is a nice CG, W/E/Dump no sewer Hook up. We had a site by the lake, kept things cool, well, as cool as can be in July.

Great campground with friendly hosts and hot showers. Loop A is beautiful sunsets. As others have said make sure you are on EST time here. Also the gate closes at 10pm so make sure you don't get locked out.
