Recreation
The Chattahoochie River lakes are an angler's paradise, where largemouth bass, white bass, hybrids, crappie, channel catfish and bream are found. The lake's 640 miles of shoreline offer many excellent locations for bank fishing, and a boat ramp is conveniently located nearby.
The lake and its surrounding forests provide a great locale for hiking, hunting or simply observing wildlife.
Facilities
The campground offers 91 sites with electric and water and 10 primitive sites with electric and group water. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station, boat ramp and fish cleaning station. Younger campers love the park's two playgrounds. A group picnic shelter is available on a first come, first served basis.

Amenities
Is COTTON HILL fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches COTTON HILL in Fort Gaines, GA for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching COTTON HILL for cancellations is the paid part.
