Entrance sign for Leitner Lake Recreation Area, Fort Gordon

Leitner Lake Recreation Area is located on Fort Gordon, GA, not too far from Augusta. It features a very nice small campground with full hookups, showers and laundry facilities. It's only drawback is its rather remote location from the Main Post - about 6 miles or so.

We got an early start the next morning, arriving at Fort Gordon about 1100. We first went to the Outdoor Recreation office where we found there were four sites open. We paid our camp fees and headed out to the campground. As luck would have it, one of the best sites was available right beside the lake, number 8.

Sites 21-24 are across the road from the lake.

The bathhouse is quite modern with showers and free laundry facilities.

This picture taken from across the lake gives you a good feel for the setting of the campground beside the lake. Several campers had canoes or kayaks.

Across the lake from the main campground is this large dispersed camping area. The only amenity here is a porta-potty.
