Very nice hosts. 4 stars instead of 5 because the quality of the sites vary regarding privacy and space.
Sites 1-13 are spaced fairly close together, and some of the pull thrus are very close to the road. Privacy minimal. As you proceed into the campground, there are several back in sites that are right on the road. Private but right on the road. The best sites are 39-46: all are terraced, all are about as private as you can find, and all are deep in the woods and shaded. Most of these sites are limited to about 30 feet for your RV. There lake is visible through the woods, and summertime boating noise may be a bother in those sites. On the whole, it's a very peaceful, quiet campground with beautiful sites (39-46) that we visit yearly. Yes the road in is steep but doable.

We stayed at site 3. It was a pull through with a wooden deck. Great tee coverage. Cell reception was good, but not great for ATT and Verizon. Able to work remotely though which is all we cared about. Nice hosts. Most sites well separated. Will be going back many times. Loved it.

The reports about a really winding road up the mountain are true. It's a thrilling, beautiful drive up through the fall foliage if that is when you happen to come here. If you are a confident driver with a good tow vehicle/engine, just take it cautiously around the turns. Typically one of us warns the driver of upcoming curves on the way up and down mountains when the turns are very tight using google maps. "S curve to the left, then right coming up with a very tight turn on the back end" (for instance) so that the driver can prepare a bit before hitting the curve. We did just fine on this beautiful steep road but it was exhilarating at times.
Check-in was self-service and easy. Fill out a card, drop it in the box and go to your reserved site. No issues. Our $12 a night rate includes a 50% discount with our access pass for federal parks.
Our site has an adjacent walking trail down to the water. Next to our site and at the trailhead is parking for 2 cars, so others can drive here, park and use the trail. It is steep down to the water but absolutely lovely at the water (see photos). 30amp with water at our site, no sewer in this park as the cliffs are really too steep to make that work. There is fresh and new-appearing deep gravel on our site with a large outdoor area with metal in-ground firepit, picnic table and view to the forest all around our site. We had to use our leveling wedges to get level side to side but it was not hard. We were able to get level with very minimal work. This is a silent location (except for birds and crickets, other wildlife) with quite a distance between us and other sites. We have not checked out the bath houses inside. Only one seems to be available, up the road towards the dumpsters at the boat ramp. There may have been another bath house at one time by the playground. Right now there are pipes sticking out of the ground and the whole area is roped off as it it's under construction.
AT&T service with a 4G hotspot was good for video calls, working online and streaming. Between 35-75 down and 2-9 up. Tmobile phones had very low 4g signal (1/.5) but tmobile home internet had better service with its better antenna. 4-10 down/2-8 up on tmobile home internet. It is usable. We moved it to a different side of the RV and got better signal. I drove around the park a few times and had near consistent AT&T signal with maybe the exception of the area with the lowest site numbers (under 10). Most of the park could get 10/3 or higher on at&t. Tmobile home internet was very patchy and not very usable anywhere except right at our site (21), and that is in one particular spot in the RV. No signal on tmhi in many places and very poor in others.
It's fall in North GA which is lovely with the leaves changing, apple orchard season and pumpkin season. The park is about 15-30 minutes to the apple orchards (depending on which one you want to go to). Very accessible to Ellijay and East Ellijay which have shopping and supplies, and about 30 minutes to Chatsworth. Wherever you go from here, the drives are beautiful.

Not 5 stars due to absolutely horrible steep, very twisty tDoll Mountain Road in from GA-382. Would have given this a 4 star rating, but in Summer 2022 while stayed, there was only one functional bath/shower building for the whole campground. Would stay here again; second bath/shower house demo’d and hopefully will be rebuilt.

Nice, quiet campground on the lake. All sites appear to be shaded. #24 was a bit too tight to open our slides and fully extend our awning. Just an unfortunate placement of trees and no big deal. 50 amp service, fire ring, and grill. Had a great time visiting Elijay and tubing down the Cartecay river. Camp host was very nice. Bath houses were well maintained and clean.
Pretty steep and twisty road to get in but nothing too crazy for a first timer with a 30 ft travel trailer (me!). Pulling through the drive at the gate was the hardest part. I tried to pull up to the shack window like I was at Wendy’s....should have gotten out and walked to the window. Learning as we go!
We would definitely go back.

This is a beautiful campground on Carter's Lake outside of Ellijay. Our campsite did not have a lake view so be sure to pick one of those if you're looking for that. Each site looked well maintained and taken care of. Our campsite was concrete and gravel and was fairly level. Some campsites had wood decks with lake access.

My experience at this campground was horrible. The parking is horrible. The campsite are tight and we couldn’t park. The park guides were hateful. I would not camp here again. There is no internet and your phone service isn’t good at all.

This is the best campground we have been to. Nice secluded, heavily wooded site, with large deck and view of Carters Lake. Party boats on the lake can get a little noisy at times. We will be back!
