SARDIS COVE

This park isn't fancy, but it is fantastic for getting away from the city on the cheap. The sky is dark enough for milky way shots right from your campaigning lot. And it's less than half an hour drive from the best dark skies in the South East. There is plenty of nature and wildlife to photograph. And plenty of typical lake activities as well (boating, skiing, swimming, fishing). And they have better than expected local area shopping and medical. It really is fantastic!

Went camping here over the weekend with my GF. I think this is one of my new favorite spots. I actually wound up buying a piece of property overlooking the lake. Nice camping spots on the water, clean facilities, water, and electric hook-ups. My only complaint is the reservation process. It has to be done online, and there was no service on-site. I did not want to make them online ahead of time as I did not know what spot I wanted. I would recommend driving there ahead of time and picking a spot, then going online at home to make the reservation.

Beautiful! I don't think there'd a bad spot to camp. Super clean, great views, relaxing

Clean. Well maintained. Easy access. Wish cell phone reception was better but other than that it’s great

So absolutely peaceful! I will be returning! I found this lake on google maps on my trip back from Texas and stopped here for a rest. I didn’t want to leave!

Nice area

I very gone to this area long before the lake was there. It is a very relaxing lake to visit and injoy in the summer time, fall, spring, and fall. Lake would not have it's sardis name without a friend of mine.

Nice and spaced out and has a boat launch with the restroom near electricity and water up to site 48 I believe. has electricity and water, covered with shade and spread out you're not on top each other

Definitely going to stay there this summer!

Beautiful camp ground. Always love visiting

Smashing. Can't wait to get back there. Best recommend.

A hidden gem...

Beautiful!

When tent camping (towards the back of the road), I’ve been one of the only ones there. All campsites are a stone’s throw from the lake! My only gripe is that the bathrooms by the tent camping side are always closed.

Looks like a very good campground. Disadvantage: no showers at the swimming beach campground.

Someone randomly pulled up and asked for money at the lake! Pretty lame! Beautiful lake tho. The camp sight was ok
