Frequently Asked Questions

 


Camping:

Can I reserve a specific camp site at Georgetown Lake?

No. Georgetown Lake is non-site specific which means you are only guaranteed a site when you make a reservation. When you arrive at the campground, you may have any site that is clean and available.

 

If I make multiple reservations, may I choose all of my sites together when I arrive?

You may only do this if you have an adult present with you for each site reserved. Only 1 occupied tag is issued per person no matter how many reservations you have.
