Reviews of Waters Creek Campground
Reviewed by charles1055 on June 23, 2008
(1 out of 1 members found this review useful.)This campground was one of the best in this part of Georgia. Always full to capacity and well maintained. Two years ago they posted a sign saying it would be closed "due to lack of use" ???? Believe a local big wig had more to do with it closing than "lack of use". All that is left is a few logs and rocks.
