Group trip
My family and I went on a last minute trip and Jeff responded very quickly and kindly. The site was secluded enough that we felt we had privacy but close enough to the neighborhood site(s) that it didn’t feel dangerous or lonely. This site’s set up contains two tents that are not extremely close to one another, which we really appreciated because we did not have to worry about disturbing one another, as different members of the family had varying sleeping times. Bathrooms/ showers were very clean and although it was a small walk down the driveway area, the cleanliness made it worth the extra steps. Overall, we had a nice quiet weekend away in the north Georgia mountain/ forest area, and would return again in the future!

I enjoyed a nice, quiet retreat. It rained nearly the whole time I was there so I didn’t make use of the swing bench or the fire pit, but I absolutely would have if it was dryer. Even so, the tiny house was cozy and I was happy to cocoon inside. I would definitely visit again!

The cabin is perfect for outdoorsy folk who have people in their crew who may be more indoorsy. It is close to Ellijay and Carters Lake and easy to get to Blue Ridge. Would definitely stay again with my wife and young kids (who loved the bunk beds).

The best dog-friendly glamping sites in Lake Sidney Lanier guide
Where to go
North Shore
The wooded north shore of Lake Lanier is dotted with sandy beaches, lakeside parks, and islands. Head to Little Ridge Park to hook a bass in Buford Dam, cruise out to explore Three Sisters Island from Two Mile Creek Park, or cool off with a swim at Mary Alice Beach.
South Shore
The star attraction of Lake Lanier’s south shore is the Lanier Islands resort, home to the Margaritaville aqua park, sandy beaches, and a winter snow activity area. Check into a luxury lodge or villa, stay at the RV resort, or snag a lakeside campsite at Shoal Creek Campground.
Northwest Shore
The northernmost tip of Lake Lanier is the place to escape the crowds. Head to Chattahoochee or Chestatee Golf Clubs to play a game of golf by the lakeside, set out to cruise the lake from one of the marinas, or check into the campgrounds at Toto Creek, Bolding Mill, or Duckett Mill.
Northeast Shore
Lakeside Gainesville is the gateway to the northeastern waterways, which snake north to meet the Chattahoochee River. Hop over to Thompson Bridge Park to picnic by the lakefront or launch your boat, enjoy events like live concerts and Food Truck Fridays (March through October) at Lake Lanier Olympic Park, or explore the hiking trails at Don Carter State Park, which also has RV campsites and cabin rentals.
