Camping at Bald Ridge Creek near Cumming

Public campground · Cumming · 82 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The setting opens onto more than 38,000 surface acres of water and roughly 692 miles of shoreline, which translates into a lot of shoreline to explore by boat, kayak, or paddleboard wakeboarding and other water sports are common on the reservoir. From the campground you can fish from shore or launch for deeper water, swim off the sandy beach, and ride a bike on nearby roads; the broader Lake Lanier area also supports hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing and environmental education opportunities.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (26,638 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
