Hartwell Lake offers 15 Corps-managed recreation areas for people who want to spend the day (or maybe just an hour or two...) at the lake. Because camping is not allowed within these areas, they are commonly referred to as "day use" areas. Most of the day use areas have amenities such as picnic tables, playgrounds, boat launching ramps, courtesy docks, restrooms, picnic shelters, facilities for the handicapped, drinking water and swim beaches.

Reservations for campsites and for picnic shelters located within day use areas can be made by calling the National Recreation Reservation Service toll-free at 877-444-6777 or online at www.Recreation.gov.
