Glamper, not a camper
Brooks Lake was a great place to camp; we loved the peace and how quiet it was even had electrical use and access to water. The campsite was clean and set up nicely. The only complaint was the wash facilities needed to be updated and was musty, and I have asthma. Kids voted 20 out of 1 through 10 it was their first time camping, and there will be more trips, I’m sure.

Cell service is not great so call before you drive back or even arrive to the property. Once we were connected everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful.

Amazing property. Great host. Very accommodating. I will be back!!
Definitely suggest bringing firewood… plenty of stuff to get the fire started but challenging finding bigger pieces to keep it burning! (At least the site I was on)

Bill w/ the skills
Not sure how he does it all but he does a great job! Love the peaceful place to paddle board! Perfect place to get away from the city. Always clean and friendly

This place was very relaxing and my family and I had a great time. Bill greeted us once we arrived and gave us the tour. He helped us pick out the perfect spot to tent camp. He was very attentive and a genuinely friendly guy. We would recommend this place to anyone who want to have a good time camping

Overall this was a pleasant experience, with our host, Bill, being very accomodating. This is an older campground which is in the process of being fully restored. The road in is rough in spots. Now for the great part. It is a beautiful property with all sites having lake views and several right on the water. All facilities and our electric hookup were functioning correctly. It was perfect for an overnight near Atlanta.

Great quiet lake! Good for fishing, not too many bugs. Very big spaces. The roads are iffy and bumpy right now but those were getting worked on when we were there, so I’d say they’ll be much smoother soon! No black tank dumping available

Great camping close to the city
Great site! Under a hour from the city, and pretty easy to get to. Feels private along the lake but has bathrooms/shower if needed in a pavilion area as well. Plan on coming back to camp many more times with our teardrop trailer! Host is very communicative and helpful !

Old fashion fun
Brooks Lake takes me back to campground camping as a kid ! Swimming, fishing and campfire- all great and host Bill was awesome and on top of all our needs. Perfect for in town families like my own who want a quick lake side fun weekend! They are not exaggerating the sunset, we will be back, Vita Z

Nice, quiet spot near Atlanta
Needed a place close to Atlanta airport for the night while driving east. GPS took us right there & entrance was well marked, even at night. Property was quiet and safe. View was beautiful. Host was very accommodating, assisting us with late arrival. Next morning kids jumped in the lake (even though it was 55 degrees outside) and enjoyed a hot shower in bathhouse after.
Electric at site, water can be run to site. Site needed quite a bit of leveling but probably would have been able to maneuver to a more level spot if we had arrived in daylight & were staying longer. Verizon had 3 bars, good enough to connect to internet & do zoom calls.
Would have been a nice spot to kayak, swim or fish if we'd had more time.

Super relaxing & peaceful spot
What a great find, less than an hour from Atlanta. Super chill place to disconnect & enjoy the lake. Bill was very helpful & friendly. We had a great site by the “stage” - basically our own private deck overlooking the lake. We brought our kayaks & enjoyed just paddling around the lake. There are some boats you can rent there as well. It wasn’t very crowded this weekend so we had lots of space & privacy.

Beautiful and Serene
The host was very friendly and welcoming, laid-back. The site was beautiful, serene, and peaceful. Location was on point having that I came from South Carolina and my guess came from Alabama. We are already planning our second trip to Brooks Lake in the near future.

Great Family Time
There are still some things that need completing but for primitive camping we had a great time just relaxing and playing on the water and fishing . I would definitely share with people and I hope to be back

Bill was such a gracious host. We were 1st time campers and were ill prepared to say the least. He was most helpful in providing what we “forgot” and even parked our camper for us. The area is gorgeous and although we had terrible weather, it was a great weekend! We will definitely return.

It was beautiful and quiet. There were only a couple people so we basically had it to ourselves. The camp host was super friendly and I would definitely recommend this spot. Directions were a bit difficult but if you you go down the road there will be a big sign saying brooks lake.

Great Place in Country
The spot is pretty amazing! I will be going back next time I am going to Atlanta. Not a far drive at all and well worth being a bit further out. :D Was a total delight to stay and the owner was very helpful when I had a tire blow out on my trailer. Great place and great hosts! Loved our stay. :)

Peaceful and quiet
Very praceful, there is a beautiful lake you can camp next to. They have power and water but no dump site. But 10 miles down the road the is a horse rv park that has a dump site for a fee your able to dump there. The host was very pleasant stoppedby a few times to make sure I was good and if i needed anything. I will be staying here again. I enjoy my visit.

Absolute hidden gem!
Absolutely hidden gem!!!! One of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve had the pleasure of staying at, which is saying something since my family and I did full time rving for over year traveling. The lake is beautiful, the fishing is awesome, and the host/owner bill is awesome, could not be more friendly. Literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 1000 of 10 is it does not have a dump station, so make sure to dump before coming or just plan to use the on-site restrooms. That being said 100/10 should sum it up and we will be back again and again.
Side note: Bill the host/owner will likely let you know, as he did with me, if you have a larger rv the road in has a small spillway with 6in deep water crossing, I made it through with a bumper pull 37ft toy 11k lbs hauler without scraping or issue at all, so 95% of rigs should make it just fine.
