We rent campsites, cabins all around GA, AL, SC, NC and this is the only site I must say we would never consider renting again.
Pros: Nice view of the lake, good size site for two tents and you can bring vehicles up to your site.
Cons: Awful communication from the owner, we used the GPS link available on Hipcamp which brought us to middle of the road. I called the owner and he actually forgot to send us a map of the site and instructions. He said he is sending it now but we had to call again because we did not receive the map. Make sure you get the map from owner before your trip.
We rented both sites for privacy, I have a Rottweiler and wanted freedom to have her off leash. We had people disturbing us the entire time, property was full of random people coming and going. I am actually disputing charges for second site because someone else was camping there.
We had no idea where the advertised wood was located, we manage to get our own wood - another lack of communication.
Owner left us kayaks that we didn't ask for and when I told him we didn't need them he sent someone to pick them up for people on my other site I paid for, we actually walked down and found the kayaks and people.
Owner was extremely rude to us for calling and trying to get instructions and details about the site. This all could have been avoided if they sent us the map in the first place. Last text I received from him was rude, he started complaining about us even though this was all his fault for not communicating, oh btw we still don't have this map he was supposed to provide.
Lake is pretty but not good for swimming, maybe good enough for a dog and even that I was questioning.
Needless to say, never again...worse 4th of July weekend ever.

What a beautiful property, owners are so nice and helpful. We had the best time, our dog is going to have doggo dreams about this place for months. Sandy beach is clean, soft sand, wood that was provided was dry and burned perfect.
Owners even offered additional camping supplies in case we forgot something.
Words cannot describe, we had an amazing weekend.
