Our Take
What makes Lake Sinclair Campground special
Lake Sinclair Campground brings you to the shores of one of central Georgia's most beloved lakes, a 15,330-acre reservoir on the Oconee River that has been drawing anglers, boaters, and weekend campers since the dam was completed in 1953. With 44 sites set among the hardwoods and pines that line the lakeshore near Eatonton, this campground offers a relaxed Southern camping experience with easy water access and a welcoming atmosphere. The lake is the main attraction, and it does not disappoint. Bass fishing on Lake Sinclair is renowned, with largemouth, spotted, and hybrid bass all present in healthy numbers. Crappie and catfish round out the options for anglers who prefer variety. Boating, skiing, and swimming keep the lake lively during warmer months, while the quieter coves and inlets reward those who prefer to paddle a canoe or kayak through calmer waters. Back at camp, the sites are shaded by mature trees that keep things comfortable even during Georgia's warm summers. The area around Eatonton has its own charm, with small-town hospitality and connections to literary history as the birthplace of writers Joel Chandler Harris and Alice Walker. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather, but Lake Sinclair's mild winters mean year-round camping is a real possibility. For a lakeside getaway in the heart of Georgia, this campground delivers easy living and great fishing in equal measure.
