We stayed at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia. (Campground Reviews listing.)

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Nice park, a little tight for big rigs
Very few sites here are FHU, but they all have lovely views of the lake in one form or another. The roads into and around the campground are a bit narrow and windy to drive a big rig around comfortably, but if you take your time and pay attention it’s manageable. Lots of nice trails around the park for hiking and boat rentals are available at the lake. Nice camp store at the main building where you check in and a convenient trading post in the campground itself, where you can get snacks, bait, firewood, etc. In the spring, the pollen is positively ridiculous, turning every internal and external surface bright yellow. If you’re sensitive to such things, bring your meds. We camped at F. D. Roosevelt State Park in a Motorhome.

There was tree pollen everywhere; here’s some on our truck:
We used our griddle:
The visitor center; we went straight to our site, then drove our truck back to check in, since their parking lot is too small for our coach and toad:

This site, #113, would probably be my preference if we were to stay here again:
It has a nice private patio overlooking the lake, down a couple of steps:
