Love this peaceful, serene park. Just drive through today but have camped, fished, kayaked, walked down the trails, picnicked and bird and gator watched. Wonderful place for family time or just a quiet afternoon.

I originally booked 2 nights camping here but liked it so much I decided to stay a 3rd night. The birding and trails here are excellent. I was lucky enough to see a gopher tortoise on a hike. I also rented a kayak and went out to see the ospreys.

We often go on months-long RV trips and I have to say this might be the COOLEST state park we have come across. The paddling trail was absolutely awesome, like a scavenger hunt in the swamp. Great walking/biking trails. Sites are shaded. Clean, quiet and gorgeous with many activities to do. We will be back!

C K | May 22, 2021
Virginia M. | May 23, 2021

There is a gate, but it's never been locked when we visited.

Is it reasonable for the cabins, and is there a minimum nightly stay?

Patricia Sharpe | Apr 17, 2021
Rosemary Parks | Apr 18, 2021

The cabins have been remodeled recently and are *nice. It's more like renting a house. "Reasonable" is subjective. There are state park memberships that include discounts on rentals that can help with the cost. I stayed in a cabin here and reserved for later this year before I left.

Where to pay the park fee

Billy Adams | Apr 18, 2018
Craig Wildi | Apr 19, 2018

At the office, or if the office is closed for some reason, there is a collection box near the office. If you frequent Georgia State Parks, I recommend an annual pass. It pays for itself quickly if you go often, and alleviates having to stop and pay the entrance fee.

What time can campers check in?

Betty Cason | Apr 18, 2018
ranger randell | Apr 19, 2018

It states 1 p.m. However if the campground is empty, you can check in sooner.
