Camping at Duckett Mill near Gainesville

Public campground · Gainesville · 109 campsites

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

About this campground

Recreation on and around Lake Lanier is extensive: within the lake system you'll find boating and water-sports opportunities, fishing, swimming areas, and miles of shoreline for wildlife viewing and picnicking; on land, the broader area supports hiking, biking, horseback riding, and environmental-education programs at nearby parks. Don Carter State Park and Sawnee Mountain Preserve are close by if you want longer trails, birding, or panoramic views, while small nearby towns such as Dawsonville and Gainesville offer services and dining.

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 (20,095 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.
