This is probably our 10th stay at Old Federal. We live nearby and can make it up there after a full day of work Friday before the gates close, so we have been there a number of times over the years. I think the COE does an excellent job of managing the Lanier campgrounds, but it's hard to overlook how government cuts have hit these Federal campgrounds. it's discouraging to see at least 3 sites out of operation and the volunteers that are working are frustrated at what they are being asked to do. We had campers fly a drone over our site and linger there, then fly over a pontoon on the water and surveil them from overhead for a few minutes. A patrolling sheriff happened to drive by the operator, but either didn't see the controller or chose not to deal with it. Prima donna or not, I miss having the grass trimmed around the sites and fallen trees addressed in a timely manner. That all said, I think the COE does an excellent job managing what they have to work with. But I worry that the sites won't be around for our kids and that is really heartbreaking.

The grass in the entire campground was nearly 2 feet high. Looked like it hadn’t been cut in over a month. This creates a huge insect problem that we fought during our entire trip. I’ve camped at Old Federal at least 20 times and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had. The hosts were great and very apologetic about the grass situation. I know it was out of their control so we made the best of it. Definitely disappointed that the nicest campground on the lake has been so poorly maintained.

LOVE THIS CAMPSITE!! This campground is our favorite to camp at. We have stayed here at several different sites and they have all been good but this one is the best!! It’s at the very end so you have plenty of room on both sides and it’s excellent for fishing. We caught the most catfish here of any site we’ve been too. The view is breathtaking. The sunsets are gorgeous! And the staff is wonderful. We will definitely be back!
