What others are saying
Don Carter State Park in Gainesville, GA is a newer state park in Georgia with plenty to do and see. The park is beautiful and clean overall with well maintained roads and spacious sites, but some reviewers note that some sites could be more level. Bathrooms are clean and there are plenty of hiking trails available for visitors to explore. The campground is smaller and has limited space for larger rigs, but any supplies visitors may need are only 8 miles away. There are no sewer hookups, but each site has a gray water drain. Electricity with 50, 30, and 15 amp electrical outlets and good water pressure is available and restrooms offer a slow draining dump for gray water. Visitors appreciate the quiet environment and helpful camp hosts, with some noting the train activity across the lake during certain times.

From The Campground
Don Carter State Park is the only state park on 38,000-acre Lake Lanier. Situated on the north end of the reservoir, the park offers outstanding recreation for water lovers. Boat ramps provide quick access to the lake and Chattahoochee River, while a multi-use trail welcomes hikers and bikers to explore the hardwood forest. Guests can stay cool at a large, sand swimming beach with bath house. This park offers several choices for overnight getaways as well. Two-bedroom cabins are perched on wooded hillsides near the lake. One campground is designed specifically for RVs, while another primitive camping area is just for tents and hammocks. The campground and cottage loop is gated, providing access to overnight guests. The park is named in honor of real-estate executive Don Carter who served on the Georgia Department of Natural Resources board for 29 years and worked to establish Lake Lanier’s first state park.
