Each three of these 85-acre, full-service campgrounds and parks lie at different points surrounding Lake Oconee. Each one provides lake-side camping with sites featuring water hook-ups and electricity, as well as primitive tent sites. Additionally, each park has accommodations for day-use activities, including boat ramps, picnic tables, picnic pavilions, swimming beaches, bathhouses, restrooms and parking.
Lawrence Shoals is located near Wallace Dam on the south part of the lake off of Georgia Highway 16. Old Salem is located about eight miles south of Interstate 20, off of Highway 44 and Linger Longer Road. The northernmost park is Parks Ferry, which is located off of Carey Station Road, convenient to Highway 44.
Georgia Power also provides three other recreational areas with boat ramps and parking areas on Lake Oconee: Long Shoals, Armour Bridge Ramp, and Sugar Creek Ramp.
