About Richard B. Russell State Park
A state park campground in Elberton with water/electric sites, 30/50 amp service, bathhouse facilities, showers.
Lake Russell’s quieter shoreline gives Richard B. Russell State Park a relaxed, polished feel near Elberton. Campers can pair boating, fishing, trails, and cottages with golf at Arrowhead Pointe, one of the park’s signature attractions. The reservoir setting is less crowded than some of Georgia’s better-known lakes, which makes it especially appealing for unhurried trips. It is a strong choice for travelers who want lake recreation, granite-country scenery, and a touch of resort-style comfort.
