Welcome to Georgia Power's Campgrounds on Lake Oconee, where nature, history, and recreation come together to create memorable outdoor experiences for all. Nestled in the heart of Georgia, Lake Oconee is a man-made reservoir created in 1979 following the completion of the Wallace Dam by Georgia Power. This stunning lake, which spans over 19,000 acres and boasts approximately 374 miles of picturesque shoreline, was developed to provide hydroelectric power, enhance recreational opportunities, and support environmental conservation.
Georgia Power recognized the potential for public enjoyment and established Lawrence Shoals Campground, Old Salem Campground, and Parks Ferry Campground to invite visitors to explore the lake's natural beauty and diverse wildlife.
