I have to confess I'm not speaking from personal experience here. My idea of "roughing it" includes unlimited hot water at the holiday inn and a mint on my pillow when I head to bed. I'm very spoiled by my tempuredic mattress and camping is NOT my thing. My parents took me a few times when I was a kid and counting bug bites and whining was how I spent a lot of my time. And if I want to eat fish, well Red Lobster always comes to mind.
My daughter, husband, brother, step-sons and my parents on the other hand LOVE the outdoors and camping and fishing. My parents actually go camping right here in the county we live in. They have done it for years. They generally come home will a lot of fish and end up having a fish fry and inviting lots of folks. As a child one of my best friends and I used to giggle each time we would hear of our parents say "this is the best fish we ever had". They said it every time. I do kind of miss that.
There are some fantastic places to camp. And while I'm not a camper, I do enjoy day trips to Putnam Beach. It has a roped off swim area, bath houses, picnic tables and paved roads. I've had my daughter's birthday party there in the past where she and her friends could go swimming. There are also boat docks and a ramp for launching your boat as well as camper and tent sites available.
There is Oconee Springs Park. It's also a really nice place. They even have a little store. They also have some cabins as well as camper spots.
There is Little River Park that allows both tent and campers and has a restaurant on site as well.
As you can see my daughter is much like my parents and her uncle, much more the "outdoorsy" type than her mama.
So if you want to come camping at my lake there are some lovely places to camp. There are some really nice hotels also. And if you are looking for a great weekend place I can help you find one of those also. Heck I might even come put a mint on your pillow for you.
