ATLANTA, March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the largest non-governmental provider of recreation facilities in the state, Georgia Power has rolled out a new campground reservation website on gplakes.com ahead of the spring and summer seasons. The site will make it easier for Georgians to find spots to celebrate at one of the company's more than 40 recreational properties. Now on the Georgia Power Lakes website, visitors can easily reserve a camping spot, virtually tour campgrounds and facilities, reserve recreation areas and learn more about campground and lake activities.

The company owns and operates 15 lake properties across Georgia for power generation and resident recreation, making it easy to find a Georgia Power lake nearby.
