Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge

Within Little Ocmulgee State Park, this Georgia Department of Natural Resources campground operates alongside a lodge, golf course, and cabin rentals. The forested campground accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Sites are closely spaced with minimal barriers between them, and the uneven terrain means some spots require leveling boards.

J V. notes "Clean and Shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms." The abundant tree cover provides shade throughout the campground, though several reviewers mention ant problems during warmer months. Construction on nearby cottages creates daytime noise but typically ends by evening. The single dump station creates backups during busy checkout times.

The park centers around a small lake offering fishing, kayaking, and paddleboard rentals. A walking trail winds through cypress trees and swampy landscape, though campers occasionally find litter along the route. Families appreciate the splash pad and pool, while the golf course draws repeat visitors. The lodge restaurant provides dining options, and Rachel G. reports "Park is on lake and has fishing, playground, splash park, kayaking, pool, lodge, and restaurant."

Recent management changes shifted operations from state control to a private company focused primarily on lodge and golf amenities. This transition has affected campground maintenance standards according to some visitors. The entrance to the camping area can be confusing for first-time arrivals. Reservations are available year-round, and pets are permitted throughout the facility.

Campers seeking alternatives in the region can explore camping spots around Little Ocmulgee State Park or check nearby Shouldville just north of Helena. This location works best for families wanting resort-style amenities and RV campers comfortable with closely spaced sites.

Guests commonly noted clean facilities and family amenities like splash pads and trails. Several visitors reported cramped sites and uneven terrain, with some finding it overpriced for the condition.

Nice amenities except for campground

Park is not managed by GA DNR but instead a private company. They focus on the lodge, cabins and golf course. The campground is in terrible shape. Uneven sites, zero landscaping, zero fumigation (ants everywhere and while not fire ants, they bite), away from lake and hiking, feels like an afterthought. There is no store, so forget about buying anything. Hiking trail was nice, but we found (and picked up) garbage along the way. Going to the sports bar at the lodge was a welcomed retrieve from the mediocre campground and bugs. If you have little kids, there’s a splash pad and pool they would enjoy. I would not camp here during the warm months.

Quiet, Clean and plenty of activities.

Clean and Shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms. 

The park has many amenities just a short walk away. Nearby golf course seems to be appreciated by several campers. Take a walk down to the dam and read about the construction of the park and the lake, by the CCC, in the 1930's

As of September 2023 the construction on the Cottages continues, so there is some noise during the day. But considering we were the closest to it, it was not bad.

Beautiful Park.

Very nice park, but the entrance to the campgrounds was a little confusing. But we've figured it out. Very peaceful.

Nice little park

Nice quiet park! Good assortment of pull through and back in sites, 30/50 amp sites. The campground is not flat, so some of the sites aren’t level, I did have to use a couple of boards to level my camper. Lots of trees.

Cabins, small lake, walking/bike trails. Trail was a good bit sandy. Small boardwalk on the trail. Not a golfer, but there is a course also.

Usually the hosts are excellent, very helpful!

Only complaint, only one dump station. Gets very busy with everyone leaving, so get there early!

Meh

This is a state park campground and resort and golf course. Cabins are also available to rent. We stayed here during the start of covid so many amenities were not open. The golf course and lodge area looked nice. The campground was ok. We had site #7 which was a host site so it had full hookup including cable. Campground is small but super cramped. No barriers between sites. There is a lot of shade and bathhouses were neat and clean. Park is on lake and has fishing, playground, splash park, kayaking, pool, lodge, and restaurant. Much was closed at the time we stayed. This is a popular camp for families. I thought camp was overpriced. What really put me off was some sketchy people here. The police were in the camp much of the night. Not really what you want to see at the campground. But we did meet some very friendly neighbors. Good for a night stop but I probably would not return.
