Retha's Campsite Reviews

I keep this blog to keep track of campgrounds we have stayed in, for our own future reference. Prior to 7/15/22, at the top of each entry is PFR. That was my Pet Friendliness Rating, of one to five *. Five being best. Now I only rate the campsite. We used to travel with 10 small dogs, but sadly, we have lost many of our elderly dogs, and are now down to just 1. So, the multiple dog friendliness is no longer important to us. Prior to 11/1/19, we traveled with 6 - 12 dogs.

Duckett Mill Campground COE - Gainesville, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ****

This COE is nicer than Sawnee, but not quite as nice as Bald Ridge. Our site has a nice, long, level concrete driveway and parking pad. The yard is the same aggregate as the other COE parks on Lake Lanier. This site's yard area is not quite as large as our favored site at Bald Ridge, but much larger than the site at Sawnee.

It took some doing, but Mike was able to find a place for the portable satellite to get all 3 satellites. This site is on the water, but doesn't actually have any water access. This site is pretty secluded.

Site #107
Length of stay - 2 weeks
$13/night
Satellite - None on rooftop, all 3 on portable (with some effort)
Water and Electric only
Water pressure - 60 lbs

Old Federal Campground COE - Flowery Branch, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a nice campground, with nice views from most sites, since most back up to, or are next to the water. Nice blacktop parking pads and aggregate patios, with picnic tables, grill, and fire pit. Our site was very level. We put out 5 xpens, but could have used 6.

This site does not have afternoon shade, and the trees nearby prevented rooftop satellite. But, it is an easy back-in. Got all 3 satellites with portable dish.

Site #37
Length of stay - 2 nights
$12/night
Water pressure - 60 lbs
Satellite - All 3 with portable
