In the agency’s own words
Hatchechubbee Creek Park is situated on the shores of Walter F. George Lake on the Georgia and Georgia border. The lake is a great place to get away for a week, a weekend or just an afternoon. Boating, swimming, fishing and camping are popular activities. Keep reading
Recreation
The Chattahoochie River lakes are an angler's paradise, where largemouth bass, white bass, hybrids, crappie, channel catfish and bream are found. The lake's 640 miles of shoreline offer many excellent locations for bank fishing, and a boat ramp is conveniently located nearby. The lake and its surrounding forests provide a great locale for hiking, hunting or simply observing wildlife.
Facilities
Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, pinic tables, boat ramp, and group shelter.

We read recreation.gov once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time a site in your window is free for the nights you asked for.
Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.
We make nothing when you book. The link goes straight to the government.

What you actually pay
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

Subject Hatchechubbee Creek Park has sites, and nobody may sleep in them
Dear Sanford D. Bishop, Jr., I’m a constituent in Georgia’s 2nd district. Hatchechubbee Creek Park, Georgia carries 1 record on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’s own file, every one of them marked day use rather than overnight. I’m asking you to put one question to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in writing: would they consider opening any of these sites to overnight camping, and if not, why not? Road trips and camping on public land are part of how this country knows itself. It’s where a lot of people meet the place they live in for the first time, and it has never been something you had to be well off, or well organised six months in advance, to do.
