Cotton Hill is located on the eastern shore of Walter George Lake, a few miles north of Fort Gaines, GA. There are three campground loops with a total of 104 sites.

Arriving on a Thursday afternoon, we had no problem getting a site. Here we are on #56, in the Marina View loop. Of the 104 sites, only 59 are reservable, leaving ample opportunity for transients to get a site. It's a popular weekend destination, though, so getting a site late Friday or Saturday could be a problem.

And the sites are more crowded in this area. We were able to move to a quieter section.

Many of the sites are along the water's edge. Most are back-ins, although there are a few pull-throughs.

Here are some of the low-numbered sites in the Old Mill Road loop. Beware of the steep transition from the driveway to the pad at some sites - your rig's rear-end may drag.

Sites 95-104 are for tents only. They are at the end of the Pine Island loop.

Each of the three loops has a small but clean bathhouse, with hot showers and laundry facilities.

Cotton Hill is a popular spot for fishermen. There is a boat launch in the campground and many folks tie their boats up along the shore in front of their site.
