Energy Lake Campground

For a second time, we stayed in the primitive cabins here. The campground attendants, both couples, were so nice! Many probably arent aware of this, but those positions are volunteer positions, not their job, so their age has to do with the fact that they are spending their retirement years serving others which I find admirable. The cabin was perfect. We enjoyed nightly visits from the local "Campground Mafia" as they are known, a family of raccoons and skunks. We didn't spook them, they didn't harm us. They just enjoyed cleaning up scraps from the day's eating. The only reason I do not give a total 5 stars is because the playground and swimming area is in need of some upgrade and repair. And was when we were here 2 years ago. The state should really allow some funding for that. Other than that, we have no complaints!

They don't run the air between campers in the cabins, could at-least turn the fan on to remove moisture. Our rooms were so damp, hot and musty that i was worried about mold for my young kids. No fresh air in the bathrooms or showers. It was worse than a sauna at the local gym. You cant keep the door locked from within from wandering out. Needs a deadbolt or latch up high. The amenities in the campground are not kept up, everything was run down. Only thing that was kept up, was the old store that the officers now use for a office. Alot of money spent on a camper cabin to be dissatisfied. We drove from Atlanta, so we were not in a position to find something else during labor-day, or I would have.

The campground is way off the beaten path. I loved it! Quit peaceful, the campground personally were helpful and very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. The bathrooms were a whole other story they definitely need some upgrading. There was peeling paint ,chipped paint, mold, we even had a frog in one shower with us. The exhaust fan was not working and the shower room was so humid that I was unable to dry off. I had to block the door open so it would cool off in the shower room. Check in was a breeze, lots of families there with children. So nice and quiet no cars or golf carts driving around all night. I would 100% recommend it. Definitely bring everything you will be needing, it's a long drive back to town.

I went for a weekend camping trip here with my brother and a friend and it could not have been a better trip! Dan and Ineda were absolutely amazing site hosts. They went above and beyond to make the experience as memorable as possible and gave us all the best locations and must-sees while we were there. I would have missed out on a lot of great opportunities without them. Clean campsites, pretty location, and bathrooms were included!

The staff were incredibly knowledgeable friendly and helpful. They have a tremendous love and respect for the wonder and beauty of the natural world around them.
