    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.

    Very nice RV camping. I didn't see the tent camping area so I can't comment on that. Very clean and…read morewell maintained. No bugs in August, who would think that. 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. I have never seen such a big variety of mushrooms before. The beach is spotless and white. You can rent kayaks. The inlet the beach and kayaks are on, no boats are allowed. We have already made reservations again.

    Excellent water park in Lanier Islands. The wave pool is great, and the slides are fun as well…read more They have tubes that fit up to 2 riders but if you are over 100 pounds you can ride alone. The inflatable island and obstacle course looks great as well. We got the season pass and plan to return to try all that Margaritaville at Lanier Islands has to offer. Lastly, the snack shops are excellent and have great customer service and ice creams available. The souvenir shop seems like it's well stocked as well. I have nothing to fault Margaritaville for and consider this a 4.1 star rounded up because it's summer. Thank you to the staff and Lanier Islands for having such an awesome water park so close to home. 5 stars!

    I am a season pass holder at the water park, and I recently brought my son for our first visit of…read morethe season. While we always look forward to spending time at the park, I was disappointed by its overall condition. Many of the water slides had visible mildew on them, and I also noticed mildew on the metal roof of one of the snack shacks. More concerning, I witnessed a young teenager nearly step on a nail protruding from the concrete while waiting in line for the four slides that share the same platform. This poses a serious safety hazard and should be addressed immediately. We also tried to relax in the sand area beneath the awning above the beach, but it was clear the area had not been raked or cleaned this season. The sand was covered with sticks, leaves, acorns, and other debris, making it feel neglected. I hope this review reaches the appropriate person who can address these issues. The water park is a wonderful facility with so much potential, and I would hate to see it fall into disrepair.

    This trip was pure nostalgia for me and I enjoyed hiking up the falls this time as I'm on a huge…read morehealth journey ! The hike up Amicalola Falls is a 1 to 2-mile round trip depending on your exact route, requiring 1 to 1.5 hours. The trail is famous for its steep incline and roughly 425 to 600 metal and wooden stairs that climb alongside the 729-foot waterfall which was absolutely beautiful! I met some really cool people along the hike and even a new friend & we ended going for lunch and beer after our hike at the overlook. If you've never visited Amicalola falls, start planning now. Your soul will be at such peace and joy afterward !

    This amazing state park has it all. Love to visit when I'm in the area. It's $5 to park all day and…read moreif you're feeling energetic, taking the hike from the base of the falls to the top is a great workout and the view from the top is work the sweat. Main scenic trail up starts with a walking path with an incline. You'll have a total of about 650 steps throughout your hike with plenty to landing spots with seats to rest. Every turn is a beautiful scene. Love the sounds of the relaxing water fall with every step! There's also hiking trails you can take and if hiking is not your thing, you can also drive to the top and enjoy the view without breaking a sweat. There are nice pavilions as well if you want to host a party and cabins too if you wanna spend the evening. Beautiful water fall and lovely state park with many trails for you to enjoy the amazing outdoors!

    If you are looking for a world class customer service from start to finish, then look no further…read morethan Chestatee Self Storage with Blake Adams. From the very moment that you sign up with this company, you can feel the difference. As a 10 year customer of Life Storage/Extra Storage, you are just a corporate number and $$ to them, but with Blake, it's clear that you are an important customer to his business. He personally welcomes you as a customer, and when I first came on the lot, he happened to be there, and personally came over to introduce himself and bring me a cold bottled water on an extremely hot day as I was moving my items in. Blake goes above and beyond expectations, and he will have my business for life with this approach. The location also uniquely offers 24/7 access to your belongings which is a huge advantage that I have never seen offered by other storage facilities. This was a huge deciding factor for my situation given my line of work. I strongly recommend this company for your self-storage needs. You will be in excellent hands with Blake.
