View from our RV Site so peaceful...
Dave O.

We arrived here mid-day on a Wednesday, the check in process was a breeze while talking with the extremely accommodating and friendly staff I wanted to get closer to the lake so I asked, which wasn't a problem we chose site 31 but had a few other options to choose over the one we had originally reserved. After presenting the available sites that would fit our 41' MotorCoach they offered us the option to check them out before making a change but fortunately that wasn't necessary being they have a very detailed map of all the sites and the staff absolutely was able to describe in detail what was available. This place spared no expense when designing the RV sites and venues, the streets are paved and curbed, the sites are a spaced apart so there's plenty of privacy, the grounds are beautifully landscaped and the views of the lake are incredible. Our back-in site which was constructed with concrete and pavers was easily accessible and level and the full hookups were well maintained and clean. Once we got settled in we did some exploring of the property it's nothing less than you'd expect from a Margaritaville Property this place is gorgeous and they didn't leave any stone unturned they definitely make the investment to do most everything right. Our site came with a nice fire pit and a charcoal park style grill so there was no need to unload the bus and use ours - the staff makes several trash pickups a day and there are a few trash receptacles located between the RV sites which are very convenient for drink bottles and residual trash if you're spending time outside so there is no need to accumulate your trash inside your camper. We didn't use any of the amenities except for the bar cart of course, this cart makes the rounds but is also accessible via a text or phone call if you drink faster than the time it take to complete their normal route and they will also delivery snack and food from the restaurant. I thought the pricing was very reasonable and everything they offer is listed in your information packet you received at check-in. It's not the cheapest campground we've stay at but it's next level compared to most and quiet. We were fortunate to have great neighbors all around us and none on top of us. This is very safe campground with onsite security that makes the rounds throughout the day and evening. Fortunately we had no issues with anything but they do have numbers to call if you do incur anything or just have questions. Access to the property is controlled so there aren't people roaming around raising hell and being obnoxious. It's remote enough to offer that quiet lakeside setting you may be looking for but close enough to civilization so you can take advantage of what the area offers. We definitely recommend that you pay the price of admission and check this place out, I know we definitely will plan to return here again in the future. It may not be 100% perfect but it's rare that you could find any campground that you can't find something to complain about if you try hard enough - I personally camp to relax and enjoy my time away so I am able to ignore most things I find annoying but I will agree with the other reviewers when it comes to the WiFi here it's terrible even with my WiFi Ranger it was almost impossible to stay connected for any length of time so I utilized my cellular services on my devices when I needed to get online. This is in no way a deal breaker for me but it is annoying as I stated before - hopefully it's better during my next visit as I am looking forward to repeating my recent experience at Camp Margaritaville at Lanier Island, what fun place...

Super beautiful RV Resort with amazing spots. Most sites have great views of the lake.

The campground is gorgeous and sites are well thought out. The grounds are super clean. If you want the best lakeside spot, it's #30. Patio faces the lake and a quick walk down to the beach. Only problem? There's a total of 150 sites. A restroom in 3 locations with 1 shower in each building per sex. It was only a quarter filled and some one is always waiting to shower. And total of 2 washers in the whole park. (1 was broken). I can imagine what's like when it's full. Other than that minor inconvenience, I love this place. There is one section that has gravel Rv parking and patio but it's well worth the extra money for a nice level concrete parking and patio. Nice spacious sites.

One of the most amazing sunsets I've seen all year and I live in the Gulf Coast of Florida.

If you want an impressively maintained RV park that leans towards Disney hospitality but doesn't come close to the cost, this is your place. We didn't even use any of the amenities other than our campsite, but we enjoyed it immensely. It's just a beautiful location and setting and Lake Lanier is a gem of a lake that watersports enthusiasts like me flock to. I will be referring my friends and we will definitely book here again.

We love Margaritaville RV Resort! Nice concrete pads, beautiful views of the lake, and a water park/winter carnival beside it. Trash pickup, laundry on site, and nice bathhouses. Not to mention a Margaritaville adult beverage cart comes by your site daily. Cheers!

We LOVED our vacation to Margaritaville!!!!!! The sites are big, clean & level. There is a lake view from nearly all of them. On Friday night the campground served free burgers & dogs & $5 Margaritas. AND THE BEACH!!!! It's not the ocean my fellow parrotheads, but it's a GREAT substitute. Land shark bar & grill is right there on the beach and you have access to all the other restaurants at the water park. There was no fee for the beach but the water park is separate. We floated ALL WEEKEND!!!!! We will be back!!!

Nice views but not worth the $! has a lot of potential to be amazing but they've executed poorly. you can tell its all about the $ for them not the quest experience. Most resort campgrounds give you access to all amenities- if you stay at a hotel with pool & water slides they dont charge extra its included...well not here Everything is extra $-nothing is included! I've checked all the way back to reviews from 2021- every bad rvw gets a comment from Margaritaville about they'll have the campground manager reach out privately to make it right- I asked every person who wrote a rvw if they ever heard from a mgr & ALL SAID NO! needless to say I'll be shocked if someone actually connects with me about this review- Im not gonna hold my breath. To me that says "we don't care if you come back we already got your money" We booked this campground based on website info that the water park was extra and campers get a discount but we would have free beach access to the lake. We get there and sure as sh*t you have beach access but THE WATER IS ROPED OFF AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SWIM?!?! Who ever wrote the amenities list- hats off to you because you fooled me!! Who goes to the beach to sit in the sand and never go in the water? Really this is ridiculous!! Picture in comments for proof. We were told this is due to liability issues- after some internet research it was found that a 19 year old male drowned May of 2022- 30 yards from the beach. seems funny to me though that they have a bouncy obstacle course (that you pay extra for) in the water RIGHT PAST THE ROPE! Landshark landing was pretty cool-nice views- the restaurant's food tasted good- i was surprised the food actually had a unique flavor/seasoned well/taste to it. I would have gone back there a second time had it not been for the no less than 50 stairs you had to hike back up go get to the parking lot. By the time I got to the top I was winded (Im 36 and slightly overweight/out of shape but this had all of us huffing and puffing) The water park looked really cool however we didn't pay the $40 per person per day to get in- it should be included in your campground stay or at a minimum ticket price that you pay once to cover your whole duration of your camping stay. There's signs that say a pool is coming in 2024 but I've heard rumors this was promised and then the year of completion changed a couple of times. Hopefully they don't charge extra for the pool once its built. I would definitely rent or bring a golf cart you're go gonna need it!!- lots of hills everywhere. It was nice but again my slightly out of shape butt couldn't hack it. There is no dog park and from what I could see no plans to add one. Would really be nice to have the option to let the dogs off leash to play. No sort of playground at this time for the kiddos either. There is 1 laundry facility with minimal washer/dryers- you definitely need one laundry facility per loop Margaritaville! Too many camp sites to have this few laundry facilities! Sites 1-123 have little to no shade! Poor layout of the loops- little to no grass or space between each site! Definitely not even spacing either- campers/slides were hanging into other people's sites while properly positioned on their concrete slab. Our friends had their slide right next to the neighbor sites campground provided grill- one idiot who uses too much lighter fluid and a camper slide could catch on fire! Fire rings were sitting on slopes/hills so you couldn't sit all the way around them! The Margaritaville photography and marketing team did a kick butt job of deceit on their website! I would be very careful and arrive in daylight to get parked. Good luck backing into your site too! The angles of the spaces were not properly thought out at all- I would venture to say the people who did the actual site planning have never backed up a big rig because it was TIGHT and nerve wracking watching some of these rigs back in/pull out. It seems like these sites were cleared and thrown together real quick so they could start making money very little thought seems to have been put into the guests experience. Things we liked about the campground: we stayed at #162 the views were nice and close to a bathhouse. We had lakeview but no lake access. We saw tons of deer. For the most part everyone adhered to quiet hours. They have a golf cart bartender that drives around daily from 4-6 pm. I didn't realize it until our last night which golf cart was rhe actual bar vs a private camper- if the bartender played music/had signs it would be more obvious and probably make more sales. The bathhouses were nice-clean and air conditioned. Wouldn't mind using them if needed.​

Although not an RV'er, we went to the park to spend the day with some family who were passing…read morethrough town. This is a little gem of an RV park in Forsyth county, tucked off Atlanta Highway (also known as Highway 9). This park is accurately named - it's large and has two sizable lakes that are beautifully maintained. They have spaces for small campers to larger RVs and spaces that are tucked away under the trees for maximum shade and privacy. There seem to be quite a few long term stayers in this place (that, to me, is a good sign). We strolled around the lakes and along a few of the roads, enjoying the grounds and the weather. The lakes have gently sloping and well maintained grassy banks with crape myrtles placed evenly alongside, and several bench swings interspersed, giving residents a place to sit and admire the scenery across the lakes. Catch-and-release fishing is allowed. The sites are all graveled (didn't see any concrete pads), but again - well maintained. According to our family members, the pricing is really good, with a standard slot at $30 per night and a deluxe spot at $35 per night. It's also very close to The Collection (less than 2 miles), making it convenient to get to shopping, entertainment and dining options.

Except for the fact that there is no store, no bathrooms, no showers, no laundry, no rentals, no…read moreplayground (no kids!), this place was amazing! Beautiful pond for catch and release, gorgeous grounds, path around lake, quiet and peaceful. Great place for adults to hang out and just enjoy nature. I was sad to say goodbye to all the fish, turtles, ducks and geese. This place is what camping should be as a respite.

Looking for the perfect spot to park your RV and immerse yourself in the great outdoors in Georgia?…read moreLook no further than Don Carter State Park nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this Georgia gem offers everything a camping enthusiast could ask for - from breathtaking views to endless opportunities for recreation. Let me walk you through some of the perks of RV camping at Don Carter State Park. First off, let's talk about the location. Don Carter State Park is situated on the northern end of Lake Lanier, boasting approximately 13,316 acres of park and over 38,000 acres water and 60 miles of shoreline. That means you'll have plenty of room to stretch your legs and enjoy all types of water activities - fishing, boating, swimming, you name it! And with the Blue Ridge Mountains as your backdrop, every view from your RV window will be postcard-perfect. But it's not just the scenery that makes RV camping at Don Carter State Park special. The campground itself offers 44 RV sites, all with water and electric hookups and one with sewer connections 9that the one I booked site 23) all have a grey water drip, as well as picnic tables and fire rings. And for those who prefer a more rustic experience, there are also 12 tent sites available. Plus, the campground is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along for the adventure! Now, let's talk about the activities. Don Carter State Park has something for everyone, whether you're an adrenaline junkie or a laid-back nature lover. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails wind through the park, offering stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. And for those who want to get out on the water, there are boat launches and rental options available. Oh, and did I mention there's a beach? That's right - you can soak up the sun and dip your toes in the water without ever having to leave the park. But what truly sets Don Carter State Park apart from other camping destinations is its rich history and local culture. The park is named after Don Carter, a local land developer who was instrumental in the creation of the Lake Lanier project. With its prime location, numerous recreational activities, and rich history, this hidden gem of Georgia is the perfect spot for an unforgettable RV camping experience. So grab your sense of adventure and get ready to make some memories! This park offers several choices for overnight getaways as well. Two-bedroom cabins are perched on wooded hillsides near the lake. One campground is designed specifically for RVs, while another primitive camping area is just for tents and hammocks. The campground and cottage loop is gated, providing access to overnight guests. The park is named in honor of real-estate executive Don Carter who served on the Georgia Department of Natural Resources board for 29 years and worked to establish Lake Lanier's first state park. Other ammenties include: Boat Ramps Docks Fish Cleaning Station Sand Beach Playground Outdoor Fitness Equipment Gift Shop Lots of Wildlife to see and enjoy We really enjoyed the week we spent here...

The check in office is a little store with souvenirs too. Deer roam around. There are miles of trails there, even have horse trails. The trails are easy terrain was lots of different flora.
