The bath houses are always clean, they have 2 different camp hosts, who are both very helpful and keep the campsites at a clean, topnotch level. There is a boat launch, 2 different playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickle ball, horseshoes, volleyball sand area, and kayak rentals with various sizes of life jackets available. They also have a sandy beach area and are dog friendly! There is a camp store and Snack Shack(but they haven't been open since we've been here, April/May). But we played giant checkers on the store porch. It has a wonderful view of the lake with nice rocking chairs to relax in. There are also picnic areas for day use for a small entry fee. Overall, it was a great place to stay with family and friends.

My husband and I went camping in our RV here years ago. We came back for several nights, as we…read morelove the area. Unfortunately, and to no one's fault it rained the whole time we were there. We did take a local jaunt out on a drier afternoon, but the next day we were leaving. This is a beautiful park with many spacious sites. We did enjoy our stay here, but wished we had better weather. A picnic table and fire pit were available for our use. I forgot if it had a BBQ grill, but we had our own. We had electric and water hook up. We'll be back again.

Jack the gentleman at the entrance was beyond helpful and likely saved us from our own demise. As we were wandering about, he kindly interjected and offered us a map along with some detailed instructions regarding the various trails. We then explored a few trails to include the Ada-Hi Falls Trail and the Tennessee Rock Trail. We enjoyed all the views but would recommend a walking stick. The guide shop at the visitor center has some great merchandise including many items from local businesses. Furthermore, the prices were fair.

What a beautiful campground, especially in October when the leaves are changing…read more Each reserved lot has access to electricity, a picnic table, and a nice fire pit. Dogs are more than welcome. In fact, most of the people there brought one or two dogs. The lots vary in size from canvas tent and car all the way to travel bus. It's great for a weekend trip away from the city noise!

We stayed here to explore the area for almost two weeks and the staff made us feel very welcome…read more Seriously, they work hard every day on the campsite and always have a smile and nice word to say. Okay, about the actual campground. When we first pulled in, we were disappointed to read a sign that said, "no lake access". We didn't book for that intention, but with 'Lake Hartwell" in the campground name, we thought we might have access. Be aware. There are two halves to the campground. When you pull in, the half on the left has tent sites and sites for smaller rigs, along with full-timers. The roads there were definitely more rugged. The half on the right is definitely prepared for larger rigs; this is where we stayed. Most sites are level; all have grass; and there's a variety of full hook up, water/elec, and nothing. Bring leveling blocks just in case you need them. Pool on site; laundry on site and all machines worked. The entire campsite is well shaded, which is amazing, especially in August sun/heat. With that said, bring a broom or blower to remove all the pine cones and needles from your roof, slides and awnings. And if you hear something slamming into your roof like an asteroid or meteor, no worries. It's a pine cone from 60' up. For real, our dog thought the siege had started the first time one hit. All in all, nice campground very close to Lake Hartwell. One last thing: only 1 vehicle/site. Since we had two, I parked in the parking area - no problem.

WiFi sucks, but the guy who took us to our sight went and got a loaner router from the office and helped hook it up. Office, clubhouse, pool area and facilities were all very nice and new. The pads are concrete are fairly level. The bad Or original site was someone's driveway. There was a tree overgrowing the driveway on the same side I had to back that made it a challenge to get into the sight. Once in the tree dropped crap all over our toad. The view from our right side window was the side of the building who's driveway we had parked in. My awning almost touched the building and there was very little room outside of our door. The WiFi here didn't work, nor did the cable connection for the tv. They did move us at our request to another open sight. So if you're planning on coming here you have to specifically ask if you're going to be in someone's driveway, because they won't offer that information and the site map doesn't show which lots have buildings on them. If you're looking for peace and quite, this is not the place for you. There is ongoing constructing between the heavy equipment clearing the property for more sites, or the constant banging of people repairing or having new permanent units worked on. Overpriced at $70.00 a day plus extra to be on the creek. We found a much nicer, quieter place in Hiawasee for 35.00 a night with riverfront sights at no extra cost. There's a reason for the 30 day cancellation notice. We tried to get out of our second week to go somewhere else, but they wouldn't allow it. Needless to say, we won't be back. The ugly There was nothing I would rate as ugly here. Just not the place for us ever again.
