Always nice. At Hartwell KOA. Beautiful lake. Plenty of wildlife. Nice sites. Nice people. A lot of room.

We love the KOA Hartwell Lakeside. The sites on the water are great. Would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit there, and loved the campground. It was quiet, cleaning, and the campsite along the water was awesome. The only thing that could be better is the WIFI signal definitely needs to be stronger throughout the campground. We will definitely be back again and again.

Site was clean with water and electric. Went with my family of 7. My wife and three small girls walked into the women's restroom on a couple having intercourse. Traumatizing to my children to say the least. Complained to the management about it. KOA advised me to stay away from the couple (Karen said I harassed them when I confronted them about it). KOA did refund my money. Not family friendly.

The campground was full but it was very quiet and relaxing. The site was under tree cover and perfect.

Cabins and linens were very clean. I loved the fact that I did not have to cook. Close to lake so we could dock our boat. Enjoyed our stay.

I found out that the reviews about the restrooms were false there was a guy in there twice in one day keeping them clean the grounds were also clean and everyone that works there is very friendly the sites are Level however the boat docks could use some work

4 nights in a camper. Really there is no bad site. Ours was right on the water, convenient for boating and swimming within 10 feet from our door. Would come back and stay there again next year.

We were there 5 nights, the staff was not very friendly, the maintenance to the area was not what we would expect at a KOA campground.
Jul 20, 2023
Nice stay but the restrooms needs a little maintenance and clean up.

Lakeside is our very favorite!! Will be there every chance I get!!

We stayed two nights in the cabins. Small but very pleasant experience! We will stay there again. The porch was used in the AM and the evenings when the temperature was cooler.

Absolutely beautiful spot in the lake! Will definitely be back! Only problem I have is they need to cool the bath houses. Very hot! And clean more regularly. Staff are extremely nice and just a beautiful location.

We stayed for 7 nights and loved everything about this campground - the staff was friendly and attentive, the grounds beautiful and well-maintained, and the spaciousness of each site added to the appeal. We definitely plan to return and hope to plan a family reunion for SC and GA family members.

What a great campground!!! We had our own little personal beach. Such a nice area, very clean and our spot was perfect!

Very nice place, clean and loved the swim platform as it was in the 90s the day we stayed there. Definitely recommend another stay there.

Nice lakeside sites.
Jul 10, 2023
Loved the park and most of the sites had access to the lake. However, this was the first KOA that I've ever been to that did not show you to your site and didn't have trash pickup.

Loved staying here. We had a beautiful tent site that was convenient to the bath house and entrance. Staff was very polite and helpful and a huge thank you to Haley in the office … I would definitely stay here again.

Unique
The site was difficult to get in and out, but had great access to the lake. The bathrooms were dirty our entire stay. This was the only KOA I’ve ever been to that had almost zero amenities. No activities, no garbage service, no pool, etc. This campground is highly overpriced for what you are getting. No rules are enforced which results in some pretty obnoxious behaviors by other campers.

Great location, maybe on of the best destination campgrounds I’ve been too. Cleanliness of the bathrooms was an issue. They were very outdated, which is fine. This is fine. As long as you have an aggressive cleaning schedule, which they definitely did not.
Jul 06, 2023
The site was very grown up with trees everywhere & very unlevel. There are no decent swim areas due to bushes & weeds. KOA should have a pool & better play areas for children. The bathhouse is rotting & nasty. We will never stay there again unless improvements are made. The only good thing I can say is that the office staff was pleasant.

Beautiful camp

It was my first time at the tent site. The last time I camped with koa I had a rv site even though I had a tent. It was wonderful and felt respected in my space. This time we were at a site. My space was not respected. Drunk people inour space. I was camping with my niece. We even had people (kids) peek into our tent at night. I don't know if I will come back but definitely not to the tent site

Old state park turned in to a KOA. Some sites are decent, some are really tough to get in and out of with steep hills undeveloped sites. Expect to see the most interesting fellow campers.

I love staying here I’ve always had a great experience. The employees are amazing go the extra mile to make your stay an enjoyable stay

We loved it!

Some areas of the park are “redneck city.” Park doesn’t enforce rules. Golf carts being operated by 10-12 year olds without adult supervision and children unsupervised on bicycles everywhere. Could be a real problem if and when someone gets hurt.

Beautiful campground, bathroom (comfort stations) dated and could use more attention. That being said, this is a busy popular campground so they were adequate for the amount of people there. Very natural surroundings, lots of shade!

Horrible! Will never camp here again. Music blaring for three straight nights; dogs running loose and threatening my leashed dogs; messages left for management with no response; police were called by other campers two nights in a row, music blared after they left until 12:30 am; children driving UTV's with no regard to traffic; gate code was given out to party goers not camping. Don't go there!

We love how the sites with the decks are set up. We didn't like how so many young kids were driving golf carts around & being wreck-less. My son had a wreck on his bike due to 2 young children driving wreck-less; the day before another little boy almost got hit by the same 2 boys driving the golf cart. This is our 2nd stay this summer & we witnessed it then too. This KOA lacks in activities.

Other than the rain that no one had control over we had an excellent time. It was good to just get away.

Great sites with plenty of room. Beautiful, well maintained sites. Definitely one of the best there is. Lake front for boating, swimming, and fishing. Peaceful and family oriented with a playground and even a pet park.

Ultimately it was a great camping experience. Secure gated access. Informed us there were waterfront sites available when we arrived, that weren't available when we reserved. Sites were decent. Bath Houses were a bit run down but relatively clean and accessible. Only complaint was not due to the park but due to our next door camping neighbors. Smoking marijuana all through the day and night which blew over around our child.

This is an honest review of our stay (7-27-23) at the Georgia Lakeside KOA campground. We knew that KOA had just recently purchased this state park and we were unsure what to expect but we were surprised at the campground. We'll start with the good: I'll say that the staff were all courteous and helpful, the sites are clean and spacious and the surrounding area is QUIET. The negative, which we believe will be fixed over time. If you are expecting the traditional KOA Holiday fancy or updated amenities, you will be let down with a few items. The bathouses are old and outdated, somewhat clean but dark and not properly remodeled, the bouncy pad isn't the normal big bouncy pillow, wifi is slow and the waterfront sites/water are littered with leaves making it a murky swim but we know that they have nothing to do with this. So with that said, our campsite was site #15 and it was beautiful and LEVEL. If you are in a RV and it rains, you'll be fine but if you are tent camping on site #15 and it rains, look out for 5in of rain on the site. As soon as the rain stops, it dries up quickly but keep in mind if you are tent camping.
