Diamond Lakes Regional Park Campground

I'm not sure who left that former review but there was no one that had  tires stolen off their RV. My husband and several regulars made doggy walk rounds every day. We were all here at that time. Yes squatting tends to happen but that just to  reiterate they need their gates working and a campground host. But several of us were here when former review posted. No one's tires were stolen!

Our reserved site was occupied when we arrived. No host on duty, but we were approached by a man who told us to go occupy another site. This all seemed very strange. We also witnessed the same man taking all the tires off an RV. We later found out he stole the tires. We were able to talk with a very nice representative of the parks and rec division, but we decided not to stay at all especially after she told us that tires being stolen was a common occurrence and squatters were also common. Hard pass with a family.

This area was hit pretty hard by hurricane Helene, which obviously caused a lot of damage to trees in the area. The park itself was spacious, level, and accommodating. Even though it's in an urban area, it was relatively quiet. The bathhouse was quite possibly the worst we've ever encountered. Filthy and no toilet paper, or hand soap supplies. 

Had business in the area and this park was convenient. Spent 2 nights. Reservations online. No host on site. Don’t know if gate works, did not have code in reservation communications. Was clean and good enough. Bathhouse requires code for entry. Walking trails in park along with tennis and basketball courts, playground, soft/baseball fields. Fishing in pond too.

We stayed here last spring on our way home so chose to come back for a more extended stay in the fall.  This is a small park with large wooded sites,  partial shade, paved, full hookup.  Never used the bathhouse since we didn't have the code.  There is a large recreational park  right there that has playgrounds, ball fields, good paved roads for biking, local library and community center within bike reach.  There is an abandoned race track that surrounds the park, 3 miles long  once called the Augusta  International Raceway.  If your a fan of racing cars look it up on Google, I guess it was quite the track in its day.  We found it great for walking the dogs and biking.  There is fishing ponds and a long walking path.  This time there were a couple of sketchy "full time?" residents.  We had no trouble with them except for barking dogs which was curbed after a bit.  We use Consumer Cellular which was fine for the most part with a hot spot for internet.
