This is an average COE campground and could use better bathroom clearners.

We had a nice stay. The back in spot had a narrow driveway with drop offs on the passenger side. There was some nice spots on the lake. The staff was polite and welcoming.

This is definitely the best spot. Great access to the lake!!
@willamt59F5563 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #43
the stay was excellent. However, when we tried to flush our tanks on the way out there were no hose connection to hook to the rv making it difficult to flush tanks.

Beautiful, well maintained, quiet campground. Very clean shower house. Very friendly camp host
@BondLED2073861 · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #33
Very spacious campground, plenty of space between spots and sites right on the water. Hot showers and clean bathrooms. No laundry even though some sites report they have facilities. It looks like they used to be in the bathhouses and have been removed.
@BrianB7534319 · Camped on Aug 30, 2024 at Campsite #59
Always a nice quiet campground
@AliciaB4830440 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #26
Very nice campground! Our site was right next to the water. My only real issue was the bathroom/showers needs a better handicapped facility. My son is handicapped and had a few issues but other than that, we had an amazing stay here
@RICKEYL5133F99 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #57
Nice place to camp when going to braves games.
@KevinK9789719 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #57
My Sites was not on the water, but it still had a great view. The campground is very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful.
@GeorgeS7112210 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #10
Nice small campground. Beware hose at dump station lacks threads so no black tank flush.
@BobD8851582 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #42
Love how the entire area is a no wake zone, usually quiet
@ArminB55479F1B · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #50
Quiet & peaceful relaxing
@YouSE6C00316DC · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #38
Our site is by the water and has a direct path to access the lake. People are very friendly, my next door neighbor offered us a fan seeing us putting up a tent. We are actually car camping in our Tesla and the tent is for storage purpose only. I deduct two stars because the site is not very clean and the showers have longlines. Only one bathroom in the campground and one available shower stall for women. Its a great spot for boating.
@JeanMari74E8DC · Camped on Jul 10, 2024 at Campsite #56
We loved this camp site, we have been using it several times and will used it again!
@TammyH7586506 · Camped on Jul 2, 2024 at Campsite #28
Camp Hosts were so friendly and we're so happy Payne is open, missed camping here.
@AliciaM7101165 · Camped on Jun 30, 2024 at Campsite #26
Campground needs a lot of maintenance. Its gone downhill greatly since they shut it down a couple years ago and some sites should be modified to lesser than they used to be and new photos taken so you know what sites youre getting
@ReginaS9248090 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #59
too much poison ivynot enough lake access
@KenC652529230C · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #55
We Love this place. Beach's are so private you may not see anyone some days.
@ShantaraF2FA6B · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #41
Enjoyed the campgrounds. The people that check you in are always extremely nice and helpful. We will be back to stay.
@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #11
This campground was hilly, but our site was level and right on the water! It was a beautiful and peaceful stay.
@stevenb5011158 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #10
The bathrooms need more attention. The shower walls in the Mens side had mold on them. There are no hooks for hanging anything and no shelf either, and the floor is very dirty from use. There should be a mat to keep muddy shoes from getting the floors so dirty that getting out of the shower and keeping your feet clean is impossible. My wife said that the light was out in one shower stalls and she had to shower in the dark because the other was in use and the shower walls were slimy there too. We were on a campsite by the water and had to be very careful not to trip on the uneven ground. Lots of dips and holes hidden in the uncut weeds. One big hole just off the pavement next to extra parking area that caused a fall and I stepped in a hole that could have caused an injury. Certainly would think that before a HOLIDAY weekend the grass would be cut and showers cleaned up. We picked up gobs of goose poop also and I know that is something that comes with the territory unfortunately. This campground has been closed for a couple of years and now could use some close attention to details.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
