If you have camped on Lake Hartwell's Twin Lakes, how did you like it? It sounds and looks good, but I have been deceived before.

When we went for our first time camping on Lake Hartwell we chose Twin Lakes. Enjoyed it a lot. We was on site 9. It was quit private but was a short walk down to the lake, but we prefer privacy over being feet from shoreline. With that said that was last year and the lake was very low. There were many sites that if lake were full you would be from just several feet from water to a few yards.
Will definitely go back, it has been a little hard to get the site that we like the most.

We have stayed at Conross also. It is nice also not quite as nice as Twin Lakes but IMPO Twin Lakes a 9 and Conross a 8 out of 10 for us.
I took a lot of pictures of sites at Twin lake and Conross. I could upload them to a site if anyone might be interested in looking for reference.
We use to do Private campground all the time until I asked about COE campgrounds hear on this forum and I don't think we would ever go back to a private camp ground. Yes COE usually don't have sewer hook up but to me the COE CG experience far out weighs Full hook up private CG.

We've been there a couple of times - great spot! Here are some pictures and comments about the park.

Camped ther about 4 years ago and would go back again in a second. Some sites are a little close to each other but don't have anything negative.

We camp there all the time. Usually at least once a month during summer weekends for the last 10 years or so. One section is now open year round. I was actually down there last Monday night to look at lake. It is now about a foot from flood stage. Never have seen it this full before. You can't go wrong at Twin Lakes. $22 per night. Most all sites are waterfront and well spaced apart. Like most COE parks, water and electric only. They do have two dump stations however. Hope that answers some of your questions.

Haven't been there, but Mile Creek campground is close by and is has great waterfront sites. It's a peninsula with water on both sides. Their reservation policy is 7 night minimum during the season, but in the of season, the sites go down to 1 night minimum and $12/night. It's our favorite off season/local campground.

I was at Twin Lakes around Sept of 2012 while working in the Seneca area. I had started a few months earlier at Raysville park in Thomson, GA and worked my way north while staying at a number of the COE parks along the river. Twin Lakes is about the same size as Petersburg in Appling, GA. on Strom Thurmond, if you've been there. At Twin Lakes, I had an interior site across from the bathhouse, (82 or 83, IIRC).

I couldn't go wrong with any of the COE parks I visited. With the "geezer" pass, it was both affordable and relaxing, although I did have to work.:)

BTW, the DW says I should have said "Go Tigers!" There, all done.

Beautiful place. We camped there this past March. A few sites looked to be a little tight but most appeared to be fairly level and easy enough to get into. Ours had a tree blocking the awning. Each site has a terraced picnic area with a fire ring. Some of these terraces are very nice. The roads are paved and sites are packed dirt. Very shady and most have a nice view of the lake. We would definitely camp there again.
