For Duckett Mill: Duckett Mill has been one of our favorite COE properties on Lake Lanier. Most campsites are very nice with great lakefront views. But I can tell it is in need of some TLC. Fire ring was not cleaned; since we had our grandson with us, we looked forward to taking him to the playground indicated on the map; not to be. Not sure what became of it but there isn’t one. Beach need some work. Contrast this to Old Federal in June, which was very well taken care of, campsites were cleaned; great playgeound and well maintained beach area with available safety vests. Duckett has seemed to have lost a bit since our last visit. IMO result of management issues with COE and Hall county takeover.

For Duckett Mill: The Army Corp or Engineers, and Recreation.Gov are no longer in charge of Duckett Mill campground. You now have to book through the Hall County, Georgia Recreation and Leisure website, and you DON’T get the 50% discount with your America the Beautiful or Access automatically like you used to and do at other ACOE campgrounds when booking through the Recreation.Gov reservation page. Now you have to jump through hoops to get your 50% discount after your credit card was charged. You now have to send an email to a Hall County bureaucrat with your pass information, confirmation number, etc., where they will then evaluate it and issue a credit to your credit card.

For Duckett Mill: Another trashed out ACE - spent 1/2hr cleaning site of dental floss, bottle caps, cigarette butts…etc. Then another 1/2hr calling gatehouse & regional mgr Calvin with complaints & suggestion that if they can enforce no alcohol then they can fine for littering campsites! ACEs in tobacco farm land, from Virginia to Georgia, are trashed.

For Duckett Mill: The main feature of this campground is proximity and access to Lake Lanier. All of the RV sites here are excellent, but there are a number of sites that have AMAZING views of the lake - see our blog post for a list of sites that have waterside views . . . https://ourepicfieldtrip.com/2019/07/06/lake-lanier-duckett-mill-campground-army-corps-of-engineers-gainesville-ga/
