Weekend Trip to Camp@Castaway/Lake Hartwell 410&412

Great camping spot close to the lake! The campground was clean, great conditions, and had picnic tables and fire pits for use. There was plenty of room for setup and parking.

4 nights at Wooded Camping at Pond

Great little campsite. Frog was a great host. Easy access to water and electricity. 20 min from downtown Helen. Lots of shade. Plenty of armadillos hanging out near the site at night! We would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. I received a tour of the campsite and was able to pick my spot. Bill moved the picnic table to the area I chose to camp at. The property was clean although I was told there was no hot water in the shower. But it was so hot outside the cool water was welcoming. The land and sites are beautiful. Especially the sun setting and rising off the lake.

Weekend Trip to Lake Side At Bear Creek

Another peaceful night on the Reservoir! I love this place. And once again Byron was the perfect host. Thank you so much, my friend!

Weekend Trip to Lakefront get away

We will definitely be back. The site was exactly as described we loved how peaceful and secluded it felt. The views of the lake were great! My husband enjoyed fishing and I enjoyed the kayaks. Our dogs enjoyed the lake and lots of area to explore. Having full hook ups and WiFi were perfect! He even provided firewood! We had a hot weekend so we didn’t build a fire but would like to come back when it’s a little cooler! Also if you walk to the point the sunset was amazing!

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

Roads need lots of work and low hanging branches aren’t good for big rigs. We managed to get our 42 ft with tow in but were very concerned about getting back out! No big problems, hit bottom a couple of times but managed to get through very tight gate at the exit without scratches on our rig. Lovely spot but obvious owner has lost interest. They mentioned it was for sale!!

Weekend Trip to Lake Side At Bear Creek

I loved the perfectly green meadow. The view of the lake was enchanting. We really enjoyed starting a fire and just relaxing.

3 nights at Lakeside RV Resort

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS EXPERIENCE!!! We stayed at the site by the lake and LOVED everything about our stay!! While their home is close, they are much further away than a fellow camper at a campground. Debbie and her family introduced themselves and they were all extremely friendly, then they disappeared and we enjoyed our secluded, lakeside oasis !! Note to self for future stay…. Pull into their driveway and pull up towards a HUGE 3 bay shop on the left then back into the site. You will be backing up on the driveway that runs in front of their beautiful home and backing into the woods. You may need a spotter so you do not run off into their yard. (She explains this process and I still got confused… totally on me) I would recommend to ANYONE and plan on staying again in the future!!

1 night at Lizardsniffer

Stop here in my way home every trip I take across the country.

Weekend Trip to Lakefront get away

We had a wonderful time! Quiet and peaceful . No one bothered us. There were 2 kayaks and a little Jon boat for you to use on the dock.

4 nights at Liberty Stables Private Escape

Although there are a few sites, it is a nice secluded location. The dogs make a great welcoming committee! The horses and goats provide great entertainment. The location is also easy to get in and out of.

Weekend Trip to Lake Side At Bear Creek

I found this little spot after driving all day and really just needing to get some sleep. I booked my reservation around 10pm, and within minutes I received a call from Byron. I was there within 20 minutes or so, at which time I had the pleasure of meeting Byron, who led me to my spot. It was dark when I arrived, but the reservoir was still beautiful. I rolled my windows down and fell asleep to the sound of fish catching their dinner. I awoke in time to watch the sun rise over the water, and man was it worth it. I got a good night's sleep, a beautiful sunrise, and the absolute pleasure of meeting my gracious host, Byron. I will coming back many times in the future, without a doubt. Thank you for everything, Byron! You've got a beautiful spot there, and I enjoyed my stay very much!

Weekend Trip to Lake Side At Bear Creek

Location is a 10/10. Great and speedy communication with the host. I would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Lula Disc House

It was a great place to stay for the weekend would highly recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Brooks Lake, a Peace of Heaven

This campsite was AWESOME!! Bill and the other host whose name I didn’t catch were hilarious and friendly, and the site was beautiful. The small trail was lovely and the sound of the cicadas and animals was so peaceful. Definitely recommend keeping up the “leave it better than you found it” policy.

5 nights at Broad River Retreat

The view is phenomenal! It was easy to find and easy to access via a gravel drive. Just the right amount of amenities to make those rainy days bearable. AC in the building was a life saver and worked great! Very easy 15 minute drive to a Food Lion in Royston if you need any last minute finds.

Weekend Trip to Lula Disc House

Pretty woods and lots of disc golf courses. Dogs were sweet and friendly

3 nights at Lula Disc House

From disc golfing to feeding the cows we had an Awesome time even in the rain!

Weekend Trip to Broad River Retreat

We just finished the best weekend! This was our first time camping as a family with a 7 year old and a 3 year old. The campsite is absolutely perfect. The location can’t be beat. Perched on the hill you have an amazing view of the river. We enjoyed watching turtles sunbathe and kayakers float on by. We made the trek down and climbed on rocks and waited in the water. The weather was in and out storming so we were able to hunker down in the shelter. It was cool and crisp from the air conditioning and in the morning you can watch the sunrise over the river! So nice to have private bathrooms, well appointed fire pit, charcoal grill, picnic table, and on top of all that to feel completely private! Great host and great space! Book now don’t keep looking!

3 nights at Lakeside RV Resort

Debbie and Steve are amazing hosts and even better people. They were so welcoming to our family. In my opinion, this is the best private site in Georgia. We've traveled all over Georgia, staying at different private camping spots. The lake is private and does not allow motorized boats, making it extremely quiet and peaceful. You have views of the lake throughout the day. The firepit, pavilion, water, sewer, and electric hookups are easy and close. We are staying here the rest of the year because of the quality of the camping essentials, the wonderful landscape and scenery, and our amazing hosts.
