Lake Sinclair Campground

I intended to stay at slake Sinclair for 8 nights, but after 1 night, I left. There are 5 water and electric sites,lallbfirst come first served. #2 was closed. #3 only had a 20 amp breaker, not enough to run ac during the heat wave. #4 had a very leaky water pump so that you needed to fill fresh water tank rather than use water direct from pump. #5 water pump totally broken. So that left #1 as only fully useable hook up site. None were level. These 5 are in loop A which backs up to road to boat ramp so you hear a constant flow trucks and boat trailers gunning by on a weekend. There is one trail from camp, but it is very poorly maintained and got impassible after 1.25 mi. I did not look at tent loops.
No Verizon from Loop A. Boat ramp has adequate reception.

Lake Sinclair park is a small, typical, somewhat neglected National Forest park. Self check in, one host. No rangers. Lake, boat ramp and beach were nice and well kept. Bathhouses less so. Some tent sites on the lake. There are 5 water and electric sites off the water. I stayed two nights at $10.50 a night with my old guy card. Thursday it was me and one tent. Friday they filled up the hookup suites. No cell service, 20 miles to anywhere. Nearest town is Eatonton and the Brer Rabbit museum. Great stop to avoid Atlanta heading north.

This campground was a lovely surprise. I stopped here on my way north. The sites are very tidy elevated gravel pads for tent camping and many are right on the lake. There is a day use area with a designated swimming section and a boat ramp. The camp host was nice. I didn’t drive through the water/electric sites so I can’t speak to those. I would definitely stay here again. It is $9 w/o water and electric and $14 with.
