Best Campgrounds in Georgia

Perfect time and very quiet this time of the year

My biggest regret is that I didn't read the reviews before booking. I'm usually very tolerant of small issues and I feel that hospitality goes a long way. Unfortunately, the issues weren't small and the hospitality was non-existent. But when we arrived at Spacious Skies RV park in Savannah we were made to feel unwelcome from the very beginning. We arrived at 11:15 am and were told we could only enter the park after 12:00pm after paying a$10 early check in fee. There were several empty sites but we were refused entry and told to go away and come back after noon. Our site#67 was a very small dirt and gravel spot just steps away from a busy highway. Honestly, we would have been better off at an interstate rest area. This is consistent with some of the reviews I've seen on their own website. Here's a summary of what I found: REVIEWS* Unreasonable refund policies.* Little or no flexibility for early or late check-ins* Some guests refused check-in after 8pm, even in cases out of their control, such as heavy traffic. Don't bother calling, they offer no exceptions.* Excessive fees and rules* Claims of racism* No sleeping in hammocks, even on a freestanding frame* Small, dirty and noisy sites too close to the highway.*Cockroaches*Turned away because RVs were not"factory made"*Dirty facilities. POLICIES AND FEES:* No check-in before noon, or after 8pm.(This is enforced, but not on the agreement you must docusign upon booking)* For an extra fee($10?) you can"lock-in" your chosen site.*$10 fee for guests who may wish to visit.*$10 fee for fishing.*$25 per pet per reservation* Retractable leashes MUST be less than 6 feet in length.* Pets must have a tag on their collar with the owner's phone number.* Golf carts(electric only) must be registered and inspected. Factory made golf carts only.* Prohibited Items: include, but are not limited to, flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are political in nature...* Apparently, there are some similar restrictions on speech. But they do encourage"...flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are meant to celebrate personal identity in a non-aggressive manner."* When you sign the agreement, you're also agreeing to allow them to use your photo in their advertisements. As long as they can extract as much money from you as possible, they will tolerate your presence. Due to their draconian refund policies, we wound up forfeiting all of the money we paid. In the end I don't regret it. We went about a mile down the road to Creekfire RV park where we were warmly greeted and immediately given a last-minute reservation for a lakeside spot with a wonderful view. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all of their amenities, such a pool with a lazy river and a lakeside restaurant. There's also a KOA in Richmond Hill just a few miles to the south with friendly staff, lakeside sites and several restaurants.

Not a lot of level spots around but we found a spot that worked for our 37' fifth wheel with some leveling. Were also able to position for decent solar exposure. T-mobile was pretty much useless, AT&T provided a little bit of usable signal. Had it to ourselves for 3 days and the road going past was very quiet. Speaking of the road, it's a sandy dirt road with some soft spots so pay attention. Lovely quiet place to relax or work! We would come again.

This is a great place to stop at. Honor system goes here and the people are awesome.

The campground host is so accommodating! It’s a small but beautiful place to park and enjoy the outdoors! There is a lake as well as boat ramp to fish. It’s quiet and relaxing. The sites aren’t squished together so it’s nice to relax outside! The only drawback is there is no laundry on site, so if you are a monthly camper like my family was, you have to go into the nearest city to wash. Other than that, I highly recommend this campground!!!

I just finished two weeks of hosting at this beautiful park.  I did want to clarify a few things…

1.  Top of Georgia is an Airstream ONLY park

2.  Airstream International Club members receive a discount 

3.  Application process for monthly parking

4.  Park is open year round

5.  Excellent wifi throughout the park

This was a beautiful and quiet spot to camp. The most awesome part was the price, free! There is a time limit, you can only camp for 14 days out of 30 unless you've contacted the Parks department and gotten permission for a longer stay before you arrive. We came in on a Tuesday and there was plenty of spaces available. 

The park does have a number of local "regulars" who come out to enjoy the park on the weekends and some as part of their "monthly rotation" for camper living, they were nice folks. We stayed for our 2 weeks and it seemed that Thursdays were the busiest day as people were traveling through and ended up "overflowing" from the Florence Marina Campground that is just 5 min up the road.

There is no water or power so it's definitely a "primitive camp" area and there is one permanent outhouse which they refill toilet paper in each Friday when they also pick up the trash from the camp trash cans. 

We rented a JohnBoat, aka Dingy for the WestCoasters, for $35 for 4 hours from Florence Marina and so had use of their showers on that day. Eufaula has a few laundromats so we did our laundry there to get in and out efficiently. Next time we stay here I'll probably choose a laundry/shower day and rent a paid site from Florence for that day but not move my tent and just go use their shower and laundry facility (laundry does have a small cost per load). I also got ice and firewood a couple of times from Florence when I needed a restock and didn't want to go far.

Moved to site 47(Pull-Thru) but due to road slope pull-thru is un-usable. Lower numbered sites(less than 30) appear somewhat better. Empty camp ground host side byhind 47 cannot be used unless site 47 is emprty due to sloping road. One single use dump station. One campground host presently in the park- their site was not marked. Appears that most sites are back-in and set sideways to a hillside and lakefront leaving very little level space for chairs. Fire rings are frequently located 12-20 feet away from picnic table and 3 to 9 feet below site level on a slope. Reservation Software used by office was down upon Saturday arrival with no IT help until Monday- two days away leaving office staff frustrated and using their own phone to access the reservation system customers use instead of management side of software. Staff stated it goes down frequently with no IT support on weekends. Six bathhouses in park. Bathhouse nearest beach closed awaiting replacement of fixtures after renovation. Shower has outdated fixtures- several shower heads had significant mineral deposits restricting flow. Men's side closed at another bathhouse. Many shower stalls had no hook or fixture to hang a towel or clothing. Several showers had broken shower valves making them unusable. Stayed 9 nights and did not see anyone working on bathhouses. Beach area parking is limited to 6 or 7 spaces and one handicap space however, there is a larger parking lot a little further away. Bathhouse showers have a pull string valve next to the shower head that had to be held down to get water with many strings broken, missing and too short to allow shorter people, children, or handicaped wheel-chair use. Some sites have precarious/dangerous sloping driveways for RVs to get into. Newly installed sites are near completion but they make sites very close together. Many sites do not have a fire pit and many do not have a grill. Many sites arer too small to park a second vhicle even if the camper is small. Parking on dirt or grass is prohibited by rules but appears to be selectively enforced. The campground has a boat ramp and reasonably large parking area. Extra careful site selection is warranted. Four docks in River Forks Park. Firewood is available at the office. CHECK-IN: 01:00 PM CHECK-OUT: 12:00 PM RIG: 42ft- 17,000 lb 5th Wheel"

This place was great! It was our first camping trip as a family. We had the one tent only site. It was so quiet…until we got there…then our little kiddos were loud haha. It was actually perfect for our kids, we didn’t even get to do all the activities in our two night stay. We fished but didn’t catch anything. We did however see two small alligators in the lake! We were a little bummed the nature trail was still closed due to the hurricane Helene damage. There was a main road nearby but if you can handle the noise of a few passing cars then you won’t have any problems. Bathrooms were clean, staff was very welcoming and helpful, and campground was very clean. We plan to go back!

I give 4 stars for the hiking trails and activities in the area and 3 stars for the campground itself. This is one of the most popular parks in GA. It is usually crowded and books quickly. Sites are VERY close together. No privacy at all. I had a walk in tent site. Seemed private on the creek, but the cars coming down the road shined their headlights in the tent. Also, from about 4am to 10pm you hear the constant traffic on the nearby highway. This highway is curvy and goes down the mountain, so when I say traffic I mean the air brakes of the trucks and the whine of all the motorcycle riders who love these curvy roads. If you want quiet and hiking and have a tent there are a lot of other options in the area. If you are coming with your family and a bunch of kids who need entertaining, this might be the place for you.

We wanted a stay along our route that was scenic yet close to the road and this couldn’t have been a better stay. With a gate for seclusion, electric at sites, a packet for those arriving after hours, it was lovely. We will be returning!

Roomy campsites with good access to the lake, both for beach swimming and boating/fishing
