Sweet & Sour Fish Camp
The good? Let’s start there. The access to St. Mary’s River is pretty outstanding here. The nearby park that you can either launch your fish catching journey from is brilliant – encased by newly erected wooden fencing, fresh new green grass, a fantastic oversized walnut tree and 2-3 brand new wooden picnic tables. While the boat launch is a little steep, it’s fairly manageable, and once you get your seagoing vessel in the water, you should be all set for a great day of snaring a wide range of wonderful fish. This Fish Camp is just a 5 minute drive off HWY 301 and located a mere 10 minutes south of nearby Folkston, which has you covered in case you need any supplies, sundries or a bite to eat that isn’t a fish.
The bad? Pretty much everything else. The actual campgrounds are jam packed with RV’s, many of which don’t look to be moving on any time soon. It feels like an incredibly tight community where everyone seems to know each other (incredibly too much, from what I could gather). There’s just a single lane that runs through this RV village, with mobile homes on either side of the road, each very closely connected to the RV next to the one in front and behind it. My recommendation? Don’t stay here – move on to higher ground, but mark this place to come back to enjoy EZ and amazing access to St. Mary’s River.
Happy Camping!
