Welcome to Georgia Power's Campgrounds on Lake Oconee, where nature, history, and recreation come together to create memorable outdoor experiences for all. Nestled in the heart of Georgia, Lake Oconee is a man-made reservoir created in 1979 following the completion of the Wallace Dam by Georgia Power. This stunning lake, which spans over 19,000 acres and boasts approximately 374 miles of picturesque shoreline, was developed to provide hydroelectric power, enhance recreational opportunities, and support environmental conservation.

Georgia Power recognized the potential for public enjoyment and established Lawrence Shoals Campground, Old Salem Campground, and Parks Ferry Campground to invite visitors to explore the lake's natural beauty and diverse wildlife. These campgrounds were meticulously designed to preserve the natural landscape while providing accessible and inviting areas for the public to enjoy.

Together, these campgrounds not only serve as recreational havens but also contribute positively to the local community. They promote environmental conservation by preserving natural habitats and educating visitors about responsible outdoor practices. Additionally, they play a vital role in supporting the local economy by attracting tourists and creating jobs.
