We had an issue with my son getting in due to the park rangers and police closing entry. It was full and they turned my son around by accident. However, I don't think he let them know he had a reservation. That's the reason for my star bump but both the police officer and ranger were apologetic, so much appreciated. Day camping is a new thing for me. For $15/day, you can rent a site from 8AM to 8PM. They have running water and electricity. There are also two bathroom facilities with showers. The day use spots are good for two vehicles and have a picnic table and trash bag hanger. Easy access to the water in most spots. They have two grills to cook at the sites. It's very much worth the money. They don't allow alcohol, pets or really loud music. The beaches are nice and water is pretty clear. The coves make it easy for swimming. I do recommend!

Proximity to some of the islands makes it a great place to kayak from without to much worry from boats and jet skis. Although our time spent here is during the week I imagine the lake can be somewhat hazardous on weekends with boats everywhere. Regardless it is a great spot to spend time in the warm waters and just relax. One of our favorite Georgia spots.

It offers a variety of picnic sites, fishing spots, boating docks, trailer parking, grills, and swimming spots with sandbars. It also has one of the best points to sit and watch the sunset.

People often park and spend the whole day hanging by the sandbars, enjoying the lake and fishing and grilling out. The length of the trail and the accessibility of it make it a great place for people to come walk with family or walk the dogs. There is also a lot of local wildlife. I often see baby ducks and baby geese nest here. Overall, it is lovely, relaxing place to enjoy the lake.

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.

DO NOT CAMP HERE! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! My family booked a weekend trip here and promptly cancelled it after this incident here. We were currently staying at Bolding Mill Campground, and decided to take a ride to Duckett Mill Campground to visit our spot for our next reservation. Bolding Mill Campground does not require campers or visitors to stop at the front gate, so when we arrived at Duckett Mill, we drove on through to our spot and site number. We parked in the site since no one was there and got out to take a few pictures of the site to show the rest of the family who was not with us at the time. After about 3 minutes, we were approached by a older gentleman with white hair and glasses, who very sternly told us we did not stop at 'his stop sign', and were not allowed to be in the park. My mother told him we were sorry and under the assumption that we did not have to stop, according to the Bolding Mill Campground rules also. The man escorted us out of the park, following us in the camp car, honking his horn and telling us "Get out of MY park, or I will call the ranger on you!" We were nothing by nice to the man, and he did not care one bit. Nor did he tell us the rules, and offer to let us drive back through with a park pass. If anyone would like to have a GREAT experience camping, I would suggest Bolding Mill Campground. read more

The only reason to stay here is the lake access. The campground itself is run by Joseph Stalin reincarnated. They hate us. We are there to provide them with money for the campsites, after that they spend the whole time threatening to kick you out for viloations of "their" rules. No drinking etc. I get it. But this guys inability to understand that we are just people, was astounding. If my mother wasn't present, I would have kindly busted his lip. The absolute rudest mangers I have ever encountered. I hope they realize one day, there in the people business, because this is unacceptable behavior by my standards. read more

The people are decently friendly and they are also accepting for the little dogs to join the big dogs, even though there are two sections.
