We enjoyed our stay at Eastlake Campground very much. The campground was clean and well kept although there was work being done to improve a section for new RV sites. The addition of sewer at the sites would be great but there is a dump up the hill as you go out the entrance. The laundry and bath facilities were old but clean. They are also building new facilities for this. The campground hosts were very nice and helpful with local information. The view of Lake Seminole is breath taking, and the sunsets are beautiful. Would definitely stay there again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very well kept camp ground. The sites were maintained and ours was level. The hookups were in good working order and the grill was clean. The view of the lake is great and the roads were excellent. We only have two detractions: It could be the time of year, but there were no other families there, mostly retires. It could be the time of year, but the fishing was non-existant near the campground. I have one good hint for those who go here, there is a second dump station at the park on the right after you leave the campground. It is more accessable than the one in the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The mailing address for this campground is Bainbridge, GA but it is actually only a few miles from Chatachooee, FL. The website has reviews for this same campground under each of those two towns. Sites are in three separate loops. One is a paved parking lot with 30A. The other two have 50A. Of those, one has gravel pads and the other has concrete pads. Water pressure and voltage good. Fire rings, picnic table, and grills on all sites. Satellite reception might be a problem in two of the three loops due to trees. This is a nice campground, but there is an inconvenience factor here. There is only one bathhouse with one shower, one set of laundry equipment, and one dumpster – all are not within a normal walking distance for the majority of sites. For a campground of this size, that is not acceptable. The boat ramp is very narrow. There isn’t a playground. Because of the need for a 180 degree turn on both ends, those with rigs longer than about 32 feet will not be able to get into the dump station when entering the park. The nearest decent size grocery store is about 15 miles away. The picnic tables aren’t covered which is not the norm for COE parks. As mentioned in earlier reviews there is still an ant problem. Our rating reflects the inconvenience factor. Daily rate also reflects a half price park pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground that is well managed. We stayed in site #24 which is a waterfront pull-through. We were there four days in early May and it was really windy on the lake. You need to close your awning before leaving on a day trip. Most sites are shaded but there wasn't too many trees to prevent easy satellite access, especially with a tripod. We did have a problem with the ants though they didn't show up for the first couple of days. We put out Comet around all items that touched the ground and that alleviated it for the most part, but we still had them coming from the top via the trees. There isn't a whole lot to do in the area but camp which is fine with us. The campground is actually much closer to Chatahootchee, FL than Bainbridge, GA. Rates reflect use of Golden Age Pass. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely park, apprehensive at first about the ants, but we picked a good weekend and didn't see one, would good back but would bring ant stuff just in case! The signs are up about the ants. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very pretty as are most COE parks. Bathhouses are not close to campsites at all. And then there are the ants. Not fire ants but little sugar ants. They can and will invade your RV. I was briefed on this when we checked in. We had to put Comet around every item that touched the ground. What a pain. I will never be back here for that reason. Way more trouble than it's worth. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A newer KOA still partially under construction. Limited store items, shade sites are all back-in. Dirt sites, read slimy mud when it rains. Unless they upgrade the roads and sites I won't be back. Why do they think we don't mind tracking in mud and grass clippings, or dealing with a muddy outdoor carpet piece??? We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The owners went out of their way to help a single lady in our group set up her trailer and connect cable TV for her. The showers and bathrooms were modern and very clean. The campground is located within walking distance to the beautiful Flint river. We enjoyed a beautiful, quiet walk to the park across the road. This is an ideal campground for fishermen and boaters. The location is convenient to the highway from Dolthan to Tallahassee. The owners really made us feel welcome. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground was not easy to find. The signs were very poor. I did call and the manager/owner did walk me through the directions. Unfortunately we were on digital roam on the cell. There was no one at the office, so check in was tricky. The gnats were unbelievable. We could not even make it to the bathrooms without the gnats getting into our hair, eyes and ears. Even opening the door to the camper brought in many gnats. Everyone was in there respective RV's because of the gnats. We would camp there again if we had to, but would pack lots of bug spray. We live in Florida so flying insects are the norm year round. It was the most expensive campsite in the two weeks we were on the road, and the least comfortable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great website. Very friendly staff. Sites fairly level. Putt putt golf. Easy access to hwy. Drawbacks include not enough staff. Owner was the only staff I encountered and if he wasn't around, the office was unoccupied. No pool which would have been great. Not much to do in local area except fishing. Overall good place to stay though not for extended vacation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This new owner that we met has really done a lot to improve this park, he has really turned this park around. If you have a boat and love to bass fish then this is the place you will want to be. It’s perfect for the weekend or by the month, nice large sites even for the largest rigs out there. We used it as a stopover but ended up staying two days. We will be using it again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Being renovated, this is primarily a fishing resort located on Lake Seminole. Has great southern style resturant, fishing supplies, boat ramp and guide service. The campground is rustic but clean and the people that run it are just great! They have kids fishing tournaments so if there is not a Bass tornament going on, this would make nice family place. We will be going back just for the chicken! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
