We loved this campground. We camped here for 8 days in mid-December and had the whole place to ourselves, which I don't understate because it is really, really nice. The campground is basically brand new. It was closed for repairs after the Mothers Day tornado in 2008. it reopened on Labor Day 2009. The asphalt roads and pads are new, the electric, water, and sewer are new, landscaping is new, etc. 17 of the 58 sites are full hookup. 11 of the 17 are pull thru. The pull thru sites are huge and can easily accommodate big rigs with lots of room to spare. The pull thrus have concrete pads and are the only sites reasonably close to level. All the back-ins lean toward the water and would be difficult to level an RV. Since they survived the storm, the bathrooms/showers/laundry are older. However, they are in great "as new" condition. My complaint with the showers in that the water only got warm, never hot. The campground is right on the lake and has a beach, two boat launches, hiking roads, and a kids playground. It is quiet. There is absolutely no highway or train or city noise. (It looks like there would be boat motor noise during warm weather). Shops and markets are less than 10 minutes away in Macon. Our cell phones had all bars. We felt safe. Twice a day the police patrolled the campground. The campground is only partially shaded with many trees ripped out by the storm. Fortunately, this improved views of the lake. This is truly a nice park. If it had hot showers and more amenities like a hot tub, pool, and wifi, we would give it a 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were here during the Cherry Blossom Festival so the campground was almost full by the time we got there at 6:00. They don't take reservations so we were pretty lucky that we got a site. We had a very hard time getting our travel trailer parked because of the very narrow roads and steep ditches. There was a lot of chatter and traffic to and from the bathhouse until pretty late. But, the good stuff about the campground was that there was a beautiful view on the lake at sunset and sunrise and there was a lot to do there. Also, the bathhouse was very clean and showers were roomy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park in a wooded area on a large lake. It was heavily damaged in the last year by a tornado, but is in the process of being repaired. The staff is very friendly, and it seems safe and secure with a gated entrance. The previous reviews are accurate about the narrow roads. I would rate higher except there are only five sites with sewer hookups, and there is no cable or WiFi. The scenery rates high, however. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at the park after the Mother's Day tornadoes. There were trees down all over the place. Someone came in to clean it up but they did a horrible job of it. The road is narrow and it was hard to back up our trailer. The bathrooms and laundry room were clean. They have inmates from the prison doing their cleaning so that made me very uncomfortable when I saw them. Overall it was good! We would stay again if we was in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Interior roads and most sites paved. WARNING: interior road is very narrow with ditch on each side. If you are unsure of your driving skill, don't choose this park. New section has 50 amp full hookup sites, which are reasonably level. Most older section sites are not level. Restrooms were closed for remodeling. Also a tornado hit the park and did extensive damage. Park may not re-open until Labor Day 2008. We camped here in a Motorhome.
They have 6 new pads with full hook-ups with a great view of the lake. The new power has some problems with low voltage with one leg of the 50 amp circuit. When we called in advance they said a 40' motorhome was no problem. WRONG! The roads are very narrow with tight turns and low tree branches. Except for the new pads most sites are not accessible with a motorhome over 32'. We noticed stray dogs and cats roaming the area but seemed not to be bothering anyone. The normal rate is $20 but $24 for the new pads We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has the potential to be a great place. They are expanding the campground and adding 50 amp hookups. The lake is nice, the rangers are nice, and the gate keeper was helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We first stayed at this park two years ago (the first review). Its still a nice park. As stated by the previous reviewer, they have added 50amp and cable TV. There are a few lake view sites being built (almost ready) that will have sewer hookups, but they have no shade at all. The bathhouses were about to be painted, but they still looked like they were in the same bad shape as last time. This place would be so much better if they would build a new bath house. The staff was nice and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is undergoing some renovation: 50 amp boxes have been installed and cable TV is apparently on the way. In addition, ten new sites are being added, some of which will be waterfront. The existing campsites aren't particularly large and most aren't very level. The sites are well spaced though, and it's overall a nice place to stay. The employees of the registration booth were friendly and helpful, and were very happy to extend our checkout time to 5:30pm so we could avoid the need to pay for an additional night. Of the two campgrounds on Lake Tobesofkee, this is the better; we found the sites at Arrowhead to be in poor repair and too close to one another. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Big rig owners beware. Interior road tight and most sites sloped. Sites 1-15 are longer, but some have lots of slope. Narrow interior roads makes backing into paved site tricky. Located a few miles west of Exit 5 of I-475. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Paved sites and roads. Most sites are back-in, a few are pull-thru. Picnic tables and grills. Many sites drop off the edge of the pad. A fare amount of space between sites. Space for awnings and slidouts if trees are not in the way. The bathrooms are in very poor condition. Shower curtains torn or missing in womans side, mens side is a gang shower. Floor tile missing or broken. Outlet and switch covers missing (exposed electrical wires). Swiming beach is nice. Beach is a far walk from the CG. Playground is at the beach and in good shape. Good TV reception; six stations. This would be a very nice CG if the bathhouse was replaced. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
