  Rocky's Convenience Store and Campground

  Great spot!

  I stopped here for a quick overnight to tent camp off my motorcycle. Very easy to get in and out. It is nice having the convenience store right there. There are no designated tent sites, just an area to set up in. Mostly RV’s. There was only one other tent set up. Super quiet campground. Clean facilities. Will definitely stay again if I am in the area.

  Rocky's Campground

  Not really ideal for tent camping

  Tent camping has no shade, privacy, or fire pit. RVs are all around you. And beware the Rocky’s gas station store nearby charges outrageous prices!

  Lafayette Blue Springs State Park Campground

  Adventure and beauty!

  Loved this primitive tent camping site. The sites are under the most beautiful live oaks and swimming in crystal clear spring water just steps away. Super pet friendly and clean bathhouse.

  Ragan Family Campground

  Upgrading this nice old park

  Reagan family working hard to restore this park...waterslide, bounce houses, arcade, pools, disc golf, etc ..they have something for everyone. We love the sites on one of the stocked fishing ponds. On site store fully equiped and great coffee and ice cream. This was first campground we went tent camping in!

  Lake Park Campground

  Southern Hospitality!!

  Beautiful campground on the water conveniently located. Lots of animals to see and the staff is outstanding, friendly and accommodating. They fed us dinner on Saturday and we’re so kind. Only two tent sites but they are huge and shaded. Very pet friendly.

  Working Farm with Tent Sites

  Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this working farm with tent sites. From this property, you can day trip to The Little Grand Canyon, the Okefenokee, Tallahassee, FL, Westville, Macon. Give them a try and leave some reviews!

  Sugar Mill Plantation RV Park

  Great price, pretty area in the northern GA mountains

  While Sugar Mill is titled as an RV Park, they accommodate tent camping as well. There is a general store in the office for any forgotten items, and electrical/water hookups if desired. The lady who owns and runs the place is very personable and sweet, and the bubbling stream behind our campsite was lovely and made this place even prettier.

  Reed Bingham State Park Campground

  Nice quiet and not far off I-75

  Quiet state park with full hookups, power & water and grassy tent sites. Gopher turtle reserve with great hiking trails. 2 shower houses, mini golf and canoe rentals on lake. Fishing with state license. Walmart, McDonalds, Burger king and sit-down resturants in town (about 7 miles).

  High Bluff - Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

  Nice site

  No complaints about this site; plenty of campsites to pick from even with about 6 other campers; space to spread out from others. Good for primitive tent camping. Had a fire pit with grill and picnic table. Right on the lake with pier access and boat ramp- pretty cool spot. Only lost a star because of previous campers leaving some trash behind.

  Perry KOA

  Another hurricane victim

  Another KOA on our trip to circumnavigate Florida. Another KOA recovering from hurricane damage. But, they do have some things open: the rv sites are open, the dog park (a nice large dog park), the hot tub. They have propane and a limited store. There are also tent sites and cabins. Lots of large live oaks with Spanish moss survived the storm as well. It is about an hour from the Suwannee River State Park where you can see Manatees in the clear waters of the spring.

  Tent campers beware

  I stayed here while on a bicycle tour because there was no other choice nearby, and Perry FL is where I ended up that day. Unless you are in an RV, do NOT tent camp here. For 28 dollars I got a weed-covered, sandy little plot next to the highway with glaringly bright street lights overhead. The plot was so small I could hear the guy snoring in the tent next to mine, despite the blaring traffic noise. The only good things here were the friendly managers and the clean bathroom.

  High Bluff - Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

  Quiet & Beautiful

  4 stars for no water or electric hookups.. Also I don't do spiders and they are all over the place here.. And HUUUUGEEE at that. Fishing dock is nice and you can see lots of gators. I don't recommend swimming in the water, its pretty murky. Nice and shady spots and you can reserve ahead of time. Typically empty. We stayed a whole week and afew people came in and out to fish and tent camp. Stayed to ourselves.

  Lafayette Blue Springs State Park Campground

  Another fun stop along the Suwannee River

  One of 5 river camps along the Suwanee River and one of the nicest. This system of river camps currently is first come first served with no fee - but that could change soon and screened sleeping platforms may require reservations. Reservations can be made for groups and are suggested. Suwannee River camps are spaced a days paddle apart and are wonderfully convenient (especially in summer when afternoon rains come daily and bugs are everywhere).

  Most of the time you will have a camp host on the property.

  River camp has bath house with water and electric, grills, fire pits, tent camping area and screened sleeping platforms with electric, lighting and ceiling fans. Many units also have hooks to hang you hammocks. There are 5 sleeping pavilions typically will hold 6-8 persons and have small corner tables with small bench. Each has picnic table and fire ring. You will find a broom in each shelter - please sweep out and leave clean for next group. Camp host oftentimes has firewood available for sale.

  There are trails to explore around springs and sinks. You can learn a lot about Florida's Aquifer and more staying at this and other camps. Spring fed pools around take out area are a refreshing 72 degrees year round!

  Tent camping area has fire pit and picnic table to share with others

  At high water access to stairs to take out and to camp can be difficult.

  Note: Always take paddles, PFD's, fishing equipment, food items and valuables to your camping area - do not leave in boats. There are raccoons and other nocturnal creatures and an occasional bear passing through.

  Ragan Family Campground

  Family Campground

  Buddy camped next to our friends in a nice shady site. Lazy River pool and big big water slide was very refreshing after a long travel day. Had a lot of activities for families. This campground has cabin rentals, tent sites and RV camping. Also many water attractions such as a 60 foot water slide, lazy river, splash pad, Water Wars, Down Pour Derby, and zero entry swimming pool. Easy trip into historical Madison.

  Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park

  Real Fish Camp

  The RV and Campground is small with eight covered spaces and room for some limited tent camping. Four of the covered spaces are right on the bank of the river with fishing available as well as a boat ramp for smaller watercraft. The space is shared by several full-time residents but it’s not overly busy or noisy. Management is very friendly and accommodating, but the restroom and shower facility leaves a bit to be desired. Also part of the facility is subject to partial flooding during some parts of the year. A fairly busy road is within hearing distance but not a problem as I slept well. I stayed two nights.

  Lafayette Blue Springs State Park Campground

  Remote riverside spring

  Great little park with walk-in tent camping, all sites have power and water which is an awesome bonus! Beautiful spring for swimming featuring a limestone bridge way you can snorkel under. If you're into diving they also have an underwater cave, just make sure to check in with the ranger station 2 miles north before diving. 5 two bedroom cabins are also on site for rental. Super clean bathrooms and an outdoor rinsing station/ shower (no indoor hot showers available unless you book a cabin). Rangers & volunteer staff are awesome! If your main purpose for visiting is to swim in the spring make sure to call ahead or go online and check water conditions as this spring is attached to the Suwanee river and can sometimes be "browned out" due to river levels.

  Sugar Mill Plantation RV Park

  Basic, decent for overnight

  This is a review of Sugar Mill RV Park in Ochlocknee, GA which is in south Georgia off US Hwy 19 near the Florida state line. Other reviews seem to be for a north Georgia park which is not this one.

  There is no tent camping at this park. 

  Overnight stay in a 38' class A. Selected site 26, no online reservations, sites assigned at arrival. Very flexible on checkout time. Site was dirt/grass, FHU, 50 amp, relatively level. Hookups we're in acceptable shape, office staff(Nancy?) was very nice. Our site had some trash and charcoal left by prior guest(looks like they tried to burn) which we cleaned up. Grounds are fairly well kept. Lots of longer term/perm residents. We couldn't pick up campground wifi nor was there cable. Road noise from US 19 as expected since park borders the highway but not too bad overnight. Bugs as expected in south Georgia in May. Fairly basic campground(they do have laundry, bathrooms, showers none of which we used) but priced right. We paid $30 for a night which included the Good Sam discount. Would stay again for overnight

  Reed Bingham State Park Campground

  All around fun campground

  We love this state park park with its large wooded campsites, 375 acre lake and river for paddling & fishing, 7 miles of multi use trails for hiking & biking trails, playgrounds, and putt putt golf. Home to gopher turtles, alligators,deer and seasonal home to vultures and bald eagles makes wildlife spotting fun. The landscape runs the gamut from coastal plain to pine forest. Those visiting for the day may enjoy the catfish cabin restaurant just outside the park. Since the park is only 7 miles from 1-75 this can easily be a great overnight stop.

  Reed Bingham is located on route 37 which is an Agro-tourism road. The route features vineyards, olive farms, boutique hotels, specialty shops, local produce, farms and two state parks....to name just a few places for you to visit. We also enjoyed biking to the Horse creek winery in Sparks, Ga just 7 miles away. (This winery is also a harvest host).

  Visit for more info www.gagrowntrails.com

  Campground- sites are large and graveled. Outer loop locations have more shade trees. Premium sites have sewer in addition to water/30/50AMP picnics tables,fire rings and some with grills too. There are no cabins.

  The paddle in campground for 30 is pretty cool since it is its own island. There is also a nice group/pioneer camping and a couple of walk in tent sites that are on a little island with a bridge walkway.

  There are rentals for bikes and paddling. The beach for swimming is more of a wading beach and since I have seen the alligators in this lake i do not recommend swimming anywhere else on your own.

  Paddling/Fishing is fun on the 375 acre lake. The lake also connects to little river and it is a @ 3 hour leisurely up river paddle to Red Robin Boat ramp in Adel Georgia (aka Colquitt boat ramp) ->if you have a way to drop off and paddle downriver to Reed Bingham it would be more relaxing.

  The 5k running/walking route for the annual Little River 5k is easy to follow in the park for your activity pleasure.

  Rocky's Campground

  Pleasant stay

  Little campground in Perry Florida. Was moving thru on my motorcycle and needed a place to pitch my tent for the night. Most spots are for RV’s. The center area at either end is for tent campers. This put you kinda out in the open but there are a few trees to shade your tent. The bath house and laundry area are clean. They are locked with a door combo lock and in the shower area there are metal doors that can be secured while you shower. There is also ample room to keep your fresh clothes dry. The campground itself was very quiet with a little noise from the highway. There is a gas/convenience store that is part of the campground located right at the entrance to the campground. Overall it was a pleasant stay and in a convenient place for those traveling thru the big bend from south Florida.

  Great visit

  Stayed 5 nights in the tent area. Very clean facilities. If you’re tenting pay attention to where the street light is and don’t set up under it, it’s bright. 9$ per night, can’t beat it.

  Goat House Farm

  Such fun!

  We had such a fun time camping at the goat farm. Where you literally camp with goats. The male goats hang out right beside you and your tents. (Be sure to keep your tents closed or they will sleep with you too, ha!) The kids absolutely loved it. They cried when it was time to leave and told all the animals bye. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We would love to go and stay there again!

  The restrooms and showers were nice and clean. There was only one picnic table in a tent area, and it was not in good shape. The road noise and night made it difficult to sleep at night

  Gibson Park

  Spanish Moss , Croaking Frogs and Hooting Owls

  We spent two February nights in Hutch Gibson County Park & Boat Ramp. The park is on the banks of the Suwannee River and the trees are dripping with Spanish moss. The camp host was friendly and the campground was clean and peaceful. It had rained a lot the week before making the water too high for the boat ramp to be open. I’m sure the park is much busier when the ramp isn’t closed. The restrooms and showers are centrally located. The RV sites have electric and water and most have fire rings. There are also several pavilions with power and we saw a couple with tent campers occupying them. There were campers in travel trailers, tents, SUVs, a Skoolie, and a van, so everyone is welcome! Including pets! I’m including a picture with rates!
