The Shady Grove Campground site and beach area in Cumming is now open for the 2016 season and has some new features for campers.
“We are very excited to welcome campers to the campground and officially begin the 2016 camping season,” said Parks & Recreation Director Jim Pryor. “This is a beautiful destination that campers enjoy every year.”
The 109-acre campground features more than 110 campsites. Amenities include a beach and swim area, boat ramp with courtesy dock, group campsites with picnic shelters, a playground, tent camping areas and campsites with water and 30-amp and 50-amp power hookups.
Natural Resources Division Manager Matthew Pate says the campground has grown in popularity each year and that new features this year will draw even more visitors.
“This year visitors will notice updated landscaping and new signage, as well as renovated group campsites. Also new this year, we are very pleased to offer visitors the ability to reserve their campsites online,” Pate said.
Reservations can be made online at the Forsyth Parks website or in person at the campground visitor center.
The campground will be open through November 7.
