Eastbank Campground at Lake Seminole is an Army Core of Engineer campground located near the Jim Woodruff Dam in Bainbridge Georgia. The closest town is Chattahoochee, FL although it has a Bainbridge, GA address.

Lake Seminole has a surface area of 37,500 acres with 376 miles of shoreline. It is the result of a project begun by the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1946 and finished in 1957 and part of the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint River systems. It is one of three dams that was constructed for navigation, hydro-power and recreational purposes.  A variety of wildlife makes its home around the lake, including raccoons, alligators, ring-necked ducks, hawks, bald eagles, black vultures, tortoises and snakes. This is a great fishing lake and over 79 species of fish have been identified in the lake.

The campground operates on Eastern Time but your cell phone may switch to Central Time because the signal is received from the middle of the lake. It's confusing but you can pick the time that suits you best.

The lake is beautiful and is about 60 ft from our campsite. We really enjoy sitting and watching the water and wildlife around us. There are quite a few alligators and everyone enjoys watching a particular favorite swim back and forth in the early morning and again at dusk. At least, we think he's the same one each day but who knows for sure. It's October and we couldn't ask for better camping weather.


Chattahoochee Florida is just a few miles away and the closest grocery store is in Sneads Florida. The closest Walmart is about 24 miles away in Marianna Florida. 

Each year there is an Intertribal Native American Pow Wow held at Chattahoochee Landing. It was interesting to hear the tribal stories, listen to the songs and see the tribal dance.
