Fort Yargo is a Georgia State Park located in Winder, Georgia. We camped here July 12 – July 15, 2012 and returned in May, 2013 for a 10-day stay. We had a gorgeous site facing the lake both times we camped here. This 260-acre lake offers fishing, boating (10 HP limit) and swimming at the designated beach area. The beach area is nice and has plenty of picnic tables. Canoe, Kayak and Pedal Boats are available for rental. There are two tennis courts and a basketball court. This park has something for everyone. The grounds are extremely clean and well kept. There is no WIFI or cable but we received good t.v. antenna reception. We found the hosts to be very friendly and helpful.
There are 52 rv sites with a few pull-throughs, some facing the lake and others are in the more woodsy area of the park. Yurts and cottages are also available. The roads throughout the campground are paved and the site pads are gravel. There is a boat ramp in the campground. There are quite a few speed bumps in this park and some of them are large. As you come into the park, turn left after the gate and travel approx 2 miles to the campsites. We enjoyed riding our bikes through the park and relaxing. We love Fort Yargo and will camp here again.
