War Hill Park Campground

This was exactly the type of campground I was looking for - I got to ease into primitive camping. The bathrooms and shower were right around the corner from my site. Right on lake Lanier, campsite #14 is also more secluded than most of the spots so I got to let my imagination take off with some of the night noises from the surrounding woods. The parking spot hovered over the associated picnic table and tent area that was right above the lake. It made for a beautiful view when parked in my teardrop but tent campers would have been happy to be that much closer to the lake. The campground road did circle by so I got to meet passers by and there weren’t many cars given its such a small campground, so the road didn’t bother me. On Friday night I could here fireworks (or gunshots?) from distant hills and on Saturday morning i heard cars racing and google showed me that a racetrack for test drives was a couple of miles away. Other than that, it felt like all the types of noises I want to hear when camping in the woods on a lake. I loved it so much I made another reservation already.

I heard about this place through the grapevine. While there isn’t electricity some of the sites are big enough for medium sized trailers/RV, and my small teardrop would work well at any of the sites. I can’t believe more people don’t know about this place.
