Poteete Creek Camp Ground — Hotel in Murphy

If I could give this zero stars I would. We used to go here just cause it was a place to swim in Blairsville. But the beach is terribly maintained, it’s super rocky, the water is muddy…and the playground is an absolute joke, which my child got attacked by yellow jackets at. They used to only charge $2 so I couldn’t complain. But my mom and kids and I went and the owners drove around asking every person (there weren’t many as it is) whose ticket that was cause they owed them $3. Apparently they upped the price and when I said I didn’t realize that, the owner got rude and said “well there was a sign.” They said because everywhere else charges $5, they will too. Everywhere else charges $5 cause they have a place you actually WANT to go to. Vogel has a CLEAN CLEAR beach with no rocks, a LEGIT playground, canoeing, putt putt, cabins, etc. I’ve traveled to state parks and campgrounds all over Georgia and not once have I ever seen a park charge $5 that wasn’t damn well worth it and I’ve never seen someone so greedy for the money that they check the fee box every hour to make sure not one person slips by. Nobody went there before, now no one definitely doesn’t go there. I know we don’t anymore. I love state parks and campgrounds and I have never had a problem putting some money towards helping them, but I do when the owners treat you like that and act just...

We were out riding around on this nice day, and wanted to see if any of the local parks were open and what they were like. Haven't been to Poteete Creek in years and was just curious as to what it was like. Immediately when we pulled in, we were stopped and basically yelled at by 2 ladies on a golf cart. Not sure who they were (park managers? They didnt introduce themselves in any way). They yelled "where y'all going?!" And that there's a 5$ fee to park. I know that, never said I wasn't going to pay the fee... We felt like we were in trouble for doing something wrong. We had barely even pulled up to the stop sign when they did this. Felt like I was a criminal or something for wanting to ride around on a nice day and check out local parks. There were no signs indicating that they were closed or anything, so i really dont understand the hostility. Felt very unwelcome and will not...

My family and I stayed here for a weekend this summer. It was an awesome camping trip at a very nice, family-oriented campground! Judy is a friendly host and all the neighbors were nice. The campground has a lot of long term campers who truly make this campground into a sweet and friendly community. Camp sites are well spaced with trees and beauty surrounding them. When it comes to amenities like the bathroom, you will not be disappointed. The bathrooms were clean and the one we were closest to had a cozy, home-like feel. The campground has a playground for kids. There is a swimming area at the lake. The views (especially on or near the water) are spectacular. Poteete Creek Campground was a wonderful getaway. We look forward to...
