Lawrence Shoals Rec Area, Georgia

We went camping with our neighbors, Dennis, Peggy & their daughter, Saleena, to a Georgia Power run park on Lake Oconee, about 2 hours from the house called Lawrence Shoals Recreation Area. This is in Putnam County. Our neighbors also happen to be Jeff's cousins and they brought up their boat for some fishing. This is a huge lake which is Dam controlled and it is just beautiful. Lots of boaters, fisherman and people with their pontoon boats!






This is our site, #17. It is a great site. The price is $20 a night for water & electric . There is a dump station there also. There are boat ramps and docks. There is a swim area within the park. There is a campground host on duty. The sites are large, and wooded and beautifully shaded.








The streets are nice and wide with no obstructions. There is a nice, clean bathhouse and areas for the kids to play.





There is a cemetary within the park, it is where the Little family is buried and another area within the park where the slaves are buried. There are lots of hiking trails - although turkey hunting season was starting the next day so the trails were closed to visitors.





Also within the park you can see some lovely flowers. Here is a picture of one below.






See ya'll later !
