Old Federal on Lake Lanier

Ill be there next week for a couple of nights on my way to the mountains. We love that park. Almost all the sites have lake views, some in all directions! But hey, gang; let's keep it quiet..hard enough to get a ressy as it is!! :)

I was looking at getting a site there several years ago. IF I remember correctly the web sight that you use to book the reservation has pictures of all of the sites. This might have changed since then,
Don

That would be great

Bears Den...We'll be going in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. If we go, I will try my best to take pictures of some of the sites mentioned and will post them. Thanks, Jennifer

Bears Den you have been one of the more courteous members here and I am appreciative of that. Sometimes moderators are busy with more pressing issues such as rude members and deleting posts of those who try to use the forum for infomercials. Sometimes members have their private messaging turned off and the moderator cannot warn them.

Either way I see some have been able to give you more detailed info once they knew which Lake Lanier you were seeking. Have a blessed trip and enjoy Georgia. Georgians are some of the most pleasant and helpful people I've met in 40+ years of travel.

Let me Google that for you

Wow.. that's really cool! I'm saving that.

JGRVing, I'm so glad you replied. I've been on these forums for many years and I know you are from the area. I really appreciate your input. I am probably looking at the beginning of June and know the 6 month reservation window. Thanks again. By the way magnusfide, I've been on these forums for many years as I have stated, the info is generally great but senior members often do get a little arrogant and belligerent.I have gone through many posts that do not give a state in which the CG is located. Thank you for your insight and I am sure if giving the location was that important the moderator would have let me know. Thanks again for your help.

Bears Den....When do you plan on coming ? Old Federal is very popular and fills up quickly. I make our reservations pretty well in advance. We camp at Old Federal a lot so I am familiar with the sites. Most will accomodate a 30 ft. TT, some sites have shade others do not. If having shade is important to you, I recommend sites #64, #65, #66 or #67 (#68 is a little short)...or as mentioned, the sites behind those also have nice water views and are shaded, #71 thru #75..these are all nice sites. We have camped at #65 many times...We also love #69 and #70 on same loop, excellent views but no shade and can get very windy out on the point.

If shade is not important to you, the sites we have camped at numerous times are #44, #45, #60 and #61.....#61 does have a nice beach area, but keep in mind the beach isn't only for that site, people come to that beach to swim and park their boats, so it's not like you have it to yourself....the camp pad is a good ways from the beach so we've never been bothered by people down there having fun.
#41, #42, and #43 are also nice sites.....We mostly stay at #44 or #45.

If you look at the pictures on recreation.gov, some of these pictures are not current. For example, pictures of #44 or #45 show steps going down to the camp pad. They have raised the camp pads to be level with the driveway..nice improvement for having room for chairs under your awning, and not having to go down stairs for table, fire ring, etc. Hope this helps you narrow it down a bit....Jennifer

The issues here are forum guidelines and forum courtesy. Senior members know about this. New members are instructed. Rude members are put on ignore lists and moderation. As senior members know the rules and courtesy required then it takes little effort for them to simply put a two letter state abbreviation in the subject line.

If you never heard of it, you probably haven't been there, so you can't help anyways. lol

That's not the issue. The issue is knowing which Lake Lanier. Again, the forum recommends putting the location including the state in the subject line if you wish info help.

Did either one of them have a campground on it named "Old Federal"?
