This is a nice Georgia State Park. It has several easy walking trails for all ages and the sites are spaced great and are well maintained. There is a playground, putt putt, and other activities to do here as well. The view of the river is amazing. You are close to everything St. Mary's has to offer.

Very nice facilities for camping. Wishing I would have known they have full hookup spots when I reserved. Everything is clean, they do have fireants here...and a great place to take sunset pictures.

Needed a place to stay in between campgrounds and saw the sign for this park on I-95 and on a whim came here and literally got the last spot for the night. Sure wish I had known about this park months ago, I would have made reservations and stayed at least a week, what a beautiful place! And the campsites are so ample and spaced very nicely apart. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I could have done without the big bright light right across from me, I hate light pollution, I want to be able to see the stars at night, and here they were spectacular!

Beautiful well-kept Park that's peaceful and easy to get around. Flat hiking areas call my son along the river. Cabins are updated and very nice. Campground is well-kept under big beautiful Live Oak Tree canopy. Office staff is helpful.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

Full hook up on sites?

mike graszl | Jun 21, 2018
Thomas Davis | Jun 22, 2018

When we were there in September last there was a crew adding sewer hookups to about half the sites. Not sure if plans were to do the other half immediately or later. If you make reservation, site specs will show sewer or not.

Yes. You can call to reserve or do it online. Gastateparks.org or Reserveamerica.com to start and the reservation will actually go through Reserveamerica.com. This is an excellent park. Buy and use Picaridin-based insect repellent to make your stay more enjoyable. Picaridin is much better than DEET at repelling biting midges (noseeums) and flys.

Tony Ruff | Jun 20, 2021

It is never a good idea to bring your own firewood. This is a preservation area. Why would you consider bringing pets in that could destroy those resources just to save a few dollars.

Not a stupid question at all. Our senior reunion group has used three Georgia state resort-type parks and one or two in other states that serve all meals. We're "shopping" for a 2019 reunion site in the Brunswick area, and we prefer parks settings to motels. That's why I had an interest in Crooked River and in this question/answer.

Is Crooked River fresh or salt water?

Charlotte Wigle | Jun 21, 2018
Thomas Davis | Jun 22, 2018

Directly connects with the Atlantic around islands and has tides which should be used for Kayaking and similar usage. Sea water at high tide less so at low tide or times of heavy rains.
