The Hartwell Powerplant is a “peaking powerplant” - this means that power is not constantly generated. Instead, power is generated at times when electricity is in the greatest demand.

Recreation Areas - Camping

Lady and Girl Grilling  

At Hartwell lake, one of our most popular outdoor recreation activities is camping. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages 9 campgrounds at Hartwell Lake with a total of 524 campsites.

Many of these campgrounds feature amenities such as restrooms, showers, boat ramps, sanitary disposal stations, playgrounds, electric and water hook-ups, courtesy docks, group camping, and designated swimming areas. Six of the campgrounds feature resident park attendants who register incoming campers, provide information, and ensure the campground is operated to provide the safest, most enjoyable experience for all visitors.

Two Corps managed Group Camps are available at Hartwell Lake - Crescent and Milltown. Group Camps allow clubs, families, and friends to camp together in a common area for a reasonable fee.
