The campground and lake are beautiful but in sad shape. The roads and RV sites are bad and need to be replaced. Only a handful of sites are suitable for larger rigs. Not at all like the many other C of E campgrounds I’ve stayed at.
Bathhouse was clean but antiquated.

We camp at alot of Georgia's camp ground. So far this is our least favorite camp grounds. The park is quite large. But the camp spots at very unlevel, also the pavement is breaking up. Most of the camp sites that we saw the picnic area to camper spot was at differant levels also alot of trip hazards. As I was coming into the camp ground their security gate came down on my truck causing damage. They say the cameras do t show the gate hitting my truck I asked to see the footage and was told no. So I guess I have to fix my vehicle. So that was a pluss to going here.

This was our first RV camping experience -- testing out a new pop-up camper during a two (2) night stay. Reservations were made through Campspot -- about $120 with fees. Communication with the main number for the campground went through the Margaritaville Campground nearby. Separate direct lines to the camp office and security were provided after arrival. Overall communication was good with both, and the staff were always polite.
We skipped our first night reservation due to high winds. We had concerns about damaging the pop-up roof during first-time setup. We decided, instead, to visit the campsite we'd reserved and pick up our paperwork. Site 56 was our first choice, and we were NOT happy with it. I selected the wrong size on the Campspot website -- a 20' campsite. It was not big enough to park both the camper AND the tow vehicle, AND the camper would've been facing away from the lake anyway with water and electrical hookups.
The next morning, we called to arrange for a different site. The camp office was very accommodating and blocked off four (4) available sites to choose from. We moved to site 55, which was a large circular pull through. Probably too big for our pop-up camper, but also probably too close to trees for a larger trailer or even a 5th wheel. The campsite was large, with the picnic table, fire ring and sand pit away from the camper. There was lots of room to set up and enjoy the beautiful lake views.
Electric and water hookups worked just fine. The camp office lent a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter free of charge. We had no issues with either service. The showers and bathrooms were about 2-3 sites down and up the road from 55, and they were reasonably clean for what they were.
I WAS disappointed that the main gate was broken, and the key code locks on the showers and bathrooms were duct taped shut. However, I did not feel that the campground was all that insecure, and there did not appear to be a lot of traffic coming through. Security DID come through overnight on Sunday morning -- probably due to some noise at 1-2 of the campsites across the cove from ours. Things quieted down after. The camp host was cleaning bathrooms on Sunday morning, and he was very polite when we talked. I saw him regularly coming through to check on campsites and clean up.
Overall, we liked this campground and will be going back. I will likely request to scout out some different sites in person before selecting one, as I don't want to be in a position to have to give up my spot when it's very busy.

This is a lovely campground on Lake Lanier, we were at spot #5 which is right on the water and had a perfect sunrise view. Bathhouse is a little older than other parks but clean and everything worked.

We booked a site at Shoal Creek and had to move our reservations due to medical reasons. When I spoke to someone, I was routed to Margaritaville who told me the site was large and pull thru. When we arrived at Shoal Creek, it definitely was not a pull through site. I spoke with manager Josh who was sooooo helpful to get us a site that was pull thru over at Margaritaville. While we were reimbursed for our cancelled stay at Shoal Creek and didn’t stay, I have to say Josh and his team were wonderful in understanding our needs and went above and beyond!
If we had a smaller rig, we’d definitely stayed at Shoal Creek!!
Some of the turns are tight for 40 foot rigs!

Stayed over Thanksgiving (2017) with family in 2 other sites (69/70). Water was down making it hard to reach the water from our site. Our site was a pull through, no frills, kinda small. Site 70 was down right dangerous, steep stairs in ill repair to the picnic table which was also in bad shape. If the stairs scared you away, as they should, the steep, worn back was just as bad. Family members on the 69/70 say they will not return either.
The bath house was old and in need of updating, it was cold, dirty, buggy and in need of a serious cleaning.

“Wish we could stay”
noted 8/9/2021
Just a heads up that if you have a 40’ motor home, it won’t fit under the limbs hanging over the roads into the larger campsites. We made reservations, paid and got there and no way we were driving it into that roadway. Office was closed so we weren’t able to see if another site would accommodate us.
