Nice place but…

We enjoyed our stay. The facilities were clean but there were a few things that I wouldn’t mind seeing improved or changed. But none that would stop me from coming back.

The lake is fairly small they do not have a no wake rule or HP limit. So if you go out in a kayak or canoe and there is just one boat pulling a tube you should expect a rough day on the water.

Our site really could use to be refurbed with a more defined site boundary and picnic area.

Site 19 is a bit tight to back in but it’s doable.

Very nice state park

This state park is typical of Georgia state parks in that it is clean, mowed and well kept. Sites are situated so there is some privacy on your table side although fairly open. I do not think there are any sewer hookups and our site (32) has 30 amp. We are here Monday to Thursday and it is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back. We stayed here in a 35’ Montana fifth wheel.

Small but great park!

This is a very nice little. The is a small lake to paddle and swim and the Nature Trail is a nice and easy hike, about 3 miles going across the lake and back. It is very close to Waycross and Okefenokee Swamp Park with guided boat tours. We stayed on site 26 which is one of 3 25 ft or smaller sites.

Awesome place!

This is a fabulous little campground! Friendly, helpful staff, clean bathrooms and showers, hot showers, golf course, trails, beautiful lake and close to Okefenokee Swamp. There's a group camp facility really cute cabins to rent, a marina and lots of waterfront picnic area. Great place for groups! I was there to see the swamp and attend an SOTF campout. Wifi is spotty sometimes. I'll definitely return if I ever get to this area again.

Nice quiet adn relaxing

LSW is a nice quiet park. Playground for the kids. Walking trails, boardwalk on one end of the lake. Lake isnt big, boats and jet skis are limited. I hear the fishing is good. Lots of open areas to enjoy. Bikes, canoes and kayaks to rent. 

We were in site#2. Nice level site. The site directly behind us was somewhat close, but otherwise a good site. We have friends in#30 and#31, not too close but not too far away. 

The hosts did a good job of keeping the bathhouse clean and stocked. The office staff were helpful and nice. Over all a nice park that we will visit again.

Great Lake, a little crowded.

If you aren’t lucky to get one of the sites right on the lake the inner sites can get a little crowded with very little privacy. One of the sites farther off the lake hugging the treeline would have been nice. Otherwise nice facilities and great playground. Swimming area and kayaks to rent. Nice cabins, but quite a hike to them if you have friends staying there.

Dark sky park

Laura Walker SP is located at Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge and is a designated dark sky park. The campground is clean and level. Lots of trees, but the sites are not crowded. Showers and bathroom were clean with lots of hot water. Hiking, wildlife.

Relaxing and quiet

Nice smaller campground, Relaxing and quiet. Has a window of time when boats on jetskis can be on the water allowing for a more peaceful atmosphere in the morning and evening. Down side only 2 sites have full hook up with one being the camp host.. showers and restrooms were clean but without full hookup I expected them to be bigger... 4 showers for 30+ sites on a lake seems light. However we had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed being able to kayak without worrying about boats & jetskis

So much fun

This park is so close to the Okefenokee. We spent the whole day hanging out. This campground is pristine. The campsites are a little crowded but if you can get close to the water beautiful.
