Lake Lanier GA COE campgrounds Sep 6 season date?

[bigbullelk]

Wondering if I am understanding the info on recreation.gov. Couldn't find any info on the COE website either.

Says the season date for the COE campgrounds (Old Federal, Bolding Mill, Duckett Mill, Sawnee, etc) ends on Sep 6, 2014??? Seems way to early to close?

We were there yesterday. You can reserve online now.

Where did you see that update?

And the 2014 season on Allatoona Lake ends September 2 at all but 2 campgrounds. McKinney is open all year, and Victoria closes October 6.

bigbullelk, some of the campgrounds on Lake Thurmond/Clasrks Hill Lake over near Augusta are open later...I think one or two of them are open year round. Winfield started a pilot program this year with golf carts also.

Thanks, wbwood. Was looking for something really close to home for a couple of quick weekends in the fall in between some of the long trips we have planned. I will keep those in mind for future reference.

Only 2-3 hrs away, depending on which side of Atlanta you are on.

Unfortunately I'm on the north side and work on the west side which makes getting over to the east side on a Friday a nightmare!

Old Federal and Bald Ridge used to stay open until November...but as mentioned, budget cuts have them closing after Labor Day now..it is a shame, great camping weather in October and November. The Hall County Park (River Forks) is open until December 31....Shoal Creek Campground is open year-round (run by Lanier Islands)......Jennifer

Don Carter State Park is on L. Lanier just on northern edge of Gainesville. Has some enticing sites, some strange spots but its brand new and clean.
