Sawnee Campground lies just north of the Buford Dam on Lake Sidney Lanier, with beautiful views of the lake as well as excellent access to boating and swimming. The lake, named for the poet Sidney Lanier, is well known for its aqua-blue colored water, spectacular scenery and variety of recreational activities. Each year, over 11 million people come to visit. Sawnee offers many outdoor recreation opportunities including fishing and swimming, and on the lake there are opportunities for wake boarding, kayaking, boating and much more. There is also a swimming beach, playground and boat ramp available for campers. The campground has 43 campsites with electric and water hookups (no sewer), 5 tent walk-in campsites with water and electric hookups, and 11 walk-in campsites without hookups. Additional amenities include restrooms and bathhouses, laundry facilities, a playground and a sandy swimming beach. Lake Lanier boasts 38,000 surface water acres, 690 miles of shoreline and over 100 small islands. Its location in the forested foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains makes for a beautiful backdrop to any activity. The reservoir was created in 1956 with the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River. Take in views of the dam at the nearby Westbank Overlook, or head northwest of the campground for scenic drives and wildlife spotting at the Sawnee Mountain Preserve. The city of Cumming is nearby and has shopping, restaurants, a fairground and much more.
