Old Federal Campground lies on the eastern banks of Lake Sidney Lanier in Northern Georgia. Popular for its aqua-blue waters and spectacular scenery, Lake Sidney Lanier hosts over 11 million visitors annually for fantastic fishing and boating opportunities. The campground offers many outdoor recreation opportunities including fishing, swimming, picnicking and bike riding. On the lake there are opportunities for wake boarding, kayaking, boating and much more. There's also a swimming beach and boat ramp available for campers. There are 65 campsites with electric and water hookups (no sewer) and 12 primitive tent-only campsites, plus 7 walk-in sites for those who don't mind leaving their vehicles behind. Campers have access to restrooms/bathhouses, laundry facilities, two picnic shelters and a dump station. Lake Sidney Lanier is nestled in the foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. The lake features 692 miles of shoreline and spans 38,000 surface water acres and 17,000 acres of lush terrain. The reservoir was created in 1956 with the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River. Lake Lanier Islands and other nearby Army Corps and county parks provide many different recreation opportunities at the lake, and the nearby city of Gainesville offers plenty for those looking to explore the local area.
