This is our go to “lake house” camping campground. In the past we traveled hours away from home but it never made sense because Shady Grove was our favorite and only a 30min drive. We’ve been going for years. We have a 31ft 5th wheel so …

This is our go-to campground when traveling to GA to visit our son. The campground is beautiful, with deer roaming the lovely, wooded grounds. We've been staying here for years and have enjoyed every site we've had.

This is our second visit to Shady Grove. What a great campground! The campsites are large and many have a view of the water. It’s quiet and clean. Wanda, the staff member who checked us in was fantastic. She took the time to answer all our questions and made us feel welcome. You can tell she loves her job. Great stay. We will be back.

We love this campground. Many of the sites have a view of water. It’s quiet with plenty of room between campsites. We are especially impressed with Wanda who was the gate attendant when we checked in. What a wonderful ambassador for Shady …

This campground definitely deserves 5 stars. The sites are not packed in so you can have some privacy. It has water, electricity and black water dump station. Deer are abundant and will walk right through your campsite. It’s dog friendly and the staff are helpful and polite.

We loved this campground! Our site was clean and huge! So nice for us and our dogs! Easy walking areas and we had a gorgeous view of the lake! We sat out every evening and morning drinking coffee or wine and loving the quiet and beauty! We hope to go back!

My ALLTIME FAVORITE campground ⛺️ This campground is very well maintained and managed. The park rangers are very friendly and their customer service is what makes the experience even more enjoyable. If you have to choose a campground around this area, I would highly recommend it .

Beautiful location! Not the best for tent camping but great for campers & RV’s. Very clean, great views.

We chose Shady Grove for our latest family excursion and couldn't be happier. The grounds are super clean, the spots are very nicely maintained, level, and set up appropriately for an easy stay. The staff at the front was super friendly and helped us with a ton of information about the area. We had a great spot and the neighbors were friendly and respectful and the he grounds were cirtually silent for the duration of our visit. We have nothing but great things to say about SGC.
