- david1601ExplorerIt is one of the better state parks in GA. Some sites have sewer and all with Electric and water. Sites are pretty good but if you have a big rig you will want to choose wisely. Lots to do in the area. White Springs and Callaway Gardens come to mind.
I really doubt the lake has any alligators but it is in the south. I would not worry one second about the gators. - Retired_JSOExplorerVery nice park. We’ve stayed there twice, once in December during a snow and hard freeze. Allowed us to run water 24/7 to keep our and their pipes from freezing. Close to Calloway Gardens too.
- WalabyExplorer IIBeen there twice myself. Very nice.
Check out little White House while you're in the area.
Lots to do for sure. You'll have a great time.
Mike - charlestonsouthExplorerRegarding the gators, speak with the park staff and locals, and they will give you an idea of where the most gator activity would be; also ask about timber rattlers and water mocassins if you go hiking. They will have colored photos in the office in order that you may differentiate between venomous and non-venomous snakes. It's a beautiful place, especially in spring when the azaleas are in bloom.
- buckyExplorer IIGators are very likely in GA. They are all over the place in SC as well. Santee comes to mind along with Huntington Beach state park.
- Be sure to take in the National Civil War Naval Museum with its display of ironclads from the Civil War. It's in Columbus, Georgia, and is a really neat museum. We went on a search one year of ironclads and found this museum which is a real gem. You wont' be disappointed.
