Does anyone know the policy regarding boating and shore camping on Center Hill and other area lakes?

The way I read it:
http://www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Locations/Lakes/CenterHillLake/RulesandRegulations.aspx

then click again to take you here:

You can camp at the campgrounds, but that's it...

I also know for JPP you can camp on the islands, there are campsites there and they are all 1st come 1st served.

Thanks!
I also found this:

Q:  When do I need a primitive camping permit?

A:  When shoreline camping on Center Hill, you must acquire a primitive camping permit and be camping within a designated primitive camping area. House boaters who are not involved in camping activities do not need a primitive camping permit nor do they need to locate adjacent to a primitive camping area. Since there are a limited number of designated primitive campsites on Center Hill Lake, houseboats should not use these sites for moorage if primitive campers occupy the sites.

Here is a link to downloadable maps(coming soon)

On priest the permit its first come first serve on the places where it's permitted. I've never been asked for a permit.

That is the norm.

heres the map
http://www.southeasternoutdoors.com/public-lands/lakes/center-hill/images/primative-camping-map.pdf


stay away from site 2, lots of trashy people from white county, site 4 in the peak of summer will have house boats parked in coves. site 3 or 5 would be good.
i swear few years ago at site 3 ive seen a guy live there all summer with clothes line n all.
site 5 ive seen people camp there, but like i stated before very few.
