Maxwell-Gunter AFB Lake Martin Recreation Area

Although it advertises boat rentals, pontoon rentals, jet skiis, none of them were in working condition. As a matter of fact, they no longer have jet skis. Only 1 water tricycle and only one paddle boat was in working condition. The staff was very friendly and the stay was enjoyable.I’ll be back.

Love their church. Beautiful & peaceful place to stay. It has a RV park to camp too.

This park is a hidden gem. It is super quiet and well kept. We first arrived and we couldn't fit into our site, our rv is 36ft and the site was a bit snug and they let us move over to a bigger site. The site we moved to was level, some of the other sites were not. But otherwise we really enjoyed our stay!

Not properly maintained, staff SEEM to be chilling every time I saw them, no restrooms operating when we arrived, dump station plugged, the other had a severe water leak. 30 amp breaker not working at site 33, informed staff and two days later still the same. Looked like power lines on the ground with a power pole broken off, appeared to be that way for some time. Had to be let into a trailer for laundry because the Rv laundry is being repaired? Never saw anyone working on it in 3 days. It’s a beautiful site with great potential but is run down, from other reviews this seems to be starting about 2014 ish. Please fix it up.

Overall, the campground has a great location and is right on the lake. If you are coming with a camper/trailer, then it’s a great spot. However, the cabins were almost uninhabitable. It was infested with rats and spiders (a rat climbed up on the counter and ate our chocolate bar), the showers didn’t drain and water pressure was very low, tvs didn’t work properly, and several things were broken. I would definitely not stay at the cabins again, but I would return for day use or stay in a camper/tent.

Mixed feelings about Maxwell-Gunter. So positive, negative, positive….Lake Martin is beautiful! The people working there were friendly. Sites spacious and wooded, peaceful. The other reviews are correct, not maintained well. If it breaks, don’t fix it. If warped, put a block on it. Pretty much….we have a lake and hook-ups, find your own way to get in and good luck. The layout is rather jankie. Being a military campground, standards are low. But, once you get over the layout frustration…relax and enjoy! Fishing, swimming, beach areas, quiet. Best for RV’s or tent camping, but a struggle for the larger motorhomes like ours. Suggest lot 36 or (if you can find it) 21 which is serene.

Beautiful property on Lake Martin. Called to make reservations and they called back in within an hour to complete. Travelled there in a small camper/van. The lake had nice sandy bottom so I swam from my campsite. Many docks around the campground for people with boats which seemed to be assigned to certain campsites. Also had a marina. We didn't have a boat so I don't know how that worked. Bathrooms were old but clean and well provisioned. Had a great hot shower with excellent water pressure. Lots of dock work being done in preparation for summer. Property hilly, many sites not flat. Might be difficult for large RV's. Peeked into cabins which looked old but clean and neat. Porches around cabins getting a little rickety. Nice sandy beach with volleyball net. Playground for kids. Almost no one there on Easter weekend. Need to support this Rec center so it can continue!!!! Hidden gem.
