Depends on what you came for. They have a nice golf course. Nice hiking trails and very nice playground. A fun splash pad... when it's open. (However, completely understandable to not waste water if there isn't enough expected participation.) Lovely pier onto the lake. Quite, pretty, peaceful. We have not stayed at the campgrounds. However, the motel rooms need... lets say they need TLC. Like, stat. read more

This review relates to campground : Little Ocmulgee State Park is as most of Georgia Parks is better than surrounding states. However recent changes and events have made them way too expensive. The State has contracted the management of these parks to corporate entities. The fee's for sites is rapidly approaching forty dollars per night and in many cases such as Veterans S P do not even offer full service sites. While Ocmulgee does have a few full service sites, all sites are the same price. Why should a tent site pay the same as full service 50 amp site. Most of the land that these parks occupy was either given to the state or purchased by the state with taxpayer funds for the enjoyment and recreation of all the people. Corporate managers have a different mentality, they are about profit and not service to the public. Our state politicians have sold us out! What possible justification could there be for a family to have to pay in excess of $100 to camp for the weekend. Federal camping activities offer better facilities with full service hookups for less than $60 per weekend and less for tent site, why can't the state do that? They Could, but again they have sold us out! The state will offer that they can get the private sector to run the parks cheaper than they can, that's Bs, at who's expense, the people of course. I have been a volunteer at Georgia Parks for many years, and I know that the parks could be run by a minimal staff of three or four and volunteers, however there would be no kickback for politicians. Ask politicians like Pruitt State Representative, (R-GA) why they are using the host sites at the taxpayers expense. Now, to the park, most sites are great, they have cable tv, tables, fire pit , water and 30-50amp . Some pull thru sites. Wake up real Friends of Georgia Parks, take back your parks. read more

I enjoyed my visit this weekend here for a family reunion! Clean and roomy sites with a fire ring, grill and picnic table! We didn't use the showers but they weren't bad but they could use an upgrade, kinda worn out look to them. We did use the splash pad because I had my golden boy, Sammy my grandson with me! He totally enjoyed himself there! And I enjoyed watching him!! We asked for a menu at check in and was given a good sized menu with lots of choices. We planned on doing breakfast Sunday morning. The menu clearly stated cook to order food available for that day but when we got there it was only buffet with some sad looking food. We left and went into McRae. The splash pad had an entry fee which wasn't bad, we paid $4. My complaint is that the fee wasn't on the website or any of the paperwork your given at check in. I only had my keys and a towel with me. Had to schlep back to the rv to get money, argh! Lots of trails with guides at the entry of the trail for things to look for! That was fun! The kitchen for the banquet room we were in was clean but also a little worn out looking and it would have been great to have had a microwave but...I guess people walk out with them too often. We saw a deer and some squirrels that had orangey red tails! How cool was that? We visited the dam, spillway which is next to the "beach" area they've created to swim in. Don't go to swim tho because there are signs posted on the beach to beware of gators and because the area has not had a lot of rainfall, the beach area is too mucky and gross to swim in. If you are in the lodge or the cabins you can swim in the pool. If you're a poor, pitiful, lowly camper you are out of luck because you don't get to swim in the pool! Isn't that ridiculous? Anyway, it still is a great place to enjoy God's beautiful nature! read more
