Book early for weekends or holidays, popular Lake Lanier campgrounds like Bald Ridge and Van Pugh South tend to fill up fast, especially from April through October.

For spontaneous trips, smaller RV parks may still have space midweek. Tip: Set calendar reminders for booking releases to snag the best lakefront spots.
