What is your favorite COE CG in Georgia

[Bears_Den]

Georgia has many COE CGs, DW and I want to start visiting them. But we’re not sure which ones to go to first so we’re looking for a little help from you experienced COE campers. Looking forward to reading your replies. Thanks.

Not helping the OP here, but today I just made a reservation for a week in late Sept. at Carter's Lake (Woodring campground) and a week in October at Hartwell Lake (Watsadler capground). Now looking in North Carolina at Bandit's Roost campground. All COE and look like nice places.

Just about any. Once boating season is over and the kids are back at school. Just start some place along the SC/GA line and move when you are tired of the park you are currently in. Then move up/down about 50 miles to explore the next area. When you get totally tired of camping, head back home.

Don't miss out on the state parks too. Usually during Jan/Feb they offer a 50% discount if you pay for 30 days in advance. Makes the rates very reasonable.

We've only stayed at one in GA, R. Shaefer Heard, in West Point and thought it was terrific.

It is not a COE Campground but a Hart State Park on Lake Hartwell has always been on our best liked -- but we only go in the off season.

This is the only one that I've been to, but we did like it and would go back. These pictures are from site #75.

The pad was nice and so was the gravel area in front of it:



This particular spot had weird spacing with the campsite next to it. But it was fine, we made quick friends and my son ended up raking their site for them:



Other sites had better lake views, we could sort of see it squinting through the trees:

Sawnee( not it't not Saunee) near Cummings is good though I don't think it is any longer open all year. Also there's one north east of Kennesaw with hook-ups; can't recall the name.

This One Is Easy DUCKETT MILL On Lake Sydney Lanier. Just Northeast Of Atlanta.

Thank you for the input. If anyone else has something to add, I’m all ears.

Mostly we go to Allatoona Lake. About once a year Lake Sidney Lanier, and have been to West Point, Carters and Strom Thurmond.
At Allatoona Lake we mostly go to McKinney Campground Sweetwater Creek is 2nd choice, with Victoria 3rd. All 3 are good, mostly just easier to get to in that order. Have been to Payne, Old 41, and Clark Creek North (Now Bartow County Park).
At Lake Sidney Lanier we like Bolding Mill.
At West Point Lake R Shaefer Heard or Whitetail Ridge
Don't go to Carters Lake much. Camped at Woodring Branch a few times, but most of the sites are very narrow.
At J. Strom Thurmond we have been to Petersburg and Ridge Road campgrounds. Both are good.

Several on Lake Alatoona In Acworth Ga.
Close to Atlanta if you want to go there.

I like all of them. Especially with my Golden age pass. With that being said, most of them were built in the 50's & 60's, except for West Point, which was built in the 70's. They are all very nice, with large campsites. Their main problem is a lack of restrooms, and even fewer restrooms with showers. Our favorite COE campground has over 150 sites with only 4 restrooms and only 2 restrooms with showers.
