Approximately 60 miles southeast of Atlanta, the Oconee National Forest is an easy drive and has much to offer those in the heart of the state. Boasting group campsites, the largest lake in the state, and recreational opportunities galore, the Oconee District is one not miss.The swimming area at Lake Sinclair is a great summer time get away.

Can’t beat $5.50 a night to camp. It’s close enough to Athens and to a tiny town 15 min away, but also far enough that it’s decently quiet. There are picnic tables and fire pits and there’s a boat dock and a lake. Very small, only 5 camp sites, and very dark at night with little patrolling (maybe that’s normal here. I’m from up north and it wasn’t normal for me). It doesn’t look well maintain... Can’t beat $5.50 a night to camp.

Rustic access to the Oconee River. The concrete boat ramp is in very good condition. The river current at the ramp is moderate to swift.

$5 a night for a parking spot and a pit toilet. If you like to do anything other than sit at your campsite or take out your boat, this may not be your place. There's a loud highway nearby. There's a farm across the river that has barking dogs. It seems to be surrounded by private land - not a place for hiking, or even going on walks longer than 10-15 minutes (walking on the road to the highway is... $5 a night for a parking spot and a pit toilet.

It's next to a large hill with tall trees, so solar is suboptimal. Cell service on verizon ranges from 1 to 2 bars - but it's not 0 bars.

No visible trails for hiking. Not ideal for fishing either. If you have a boat or just wanna camp in the woods, then it may suit you. But it's not the best place.
