Stephen Foster State Park is in the middle of Okefenokee Swamp! This makes it a little harder to get to, but it is worth the trip. There are 66 tent and RV sites in the park. Some are pull-thru, Most have water and 30/50 amp electric. There is a shower/bathroom and laundry. There is also a dump station. The sites are set in the woods. Spanish moss hangs from trees and reflect off the black swamp waters, cypress knees dot the pools of black water. Wildlife is abundant. Paddlers brave enough to explore the water trails will enjoy breathtaking scenery and lots of wildlife. Alligators, turtles, raccoons, black bears, deer, ibis, herons, wood storks, woodpeckers and lots more are found throughout the refuge, and often in the campground. This is a dark sky park, great for Stargazers. Do not bring any unneeded lights! There are guided boat tours of the swamp. Sunset and night tours may be available. Billy’s Island is an historic homestead within the park. Fishing is popular...but alligators can be competing for your catch. Okefenokee Swamp has an estimated 12,000 American Alligators! They are best viewed from a distance. Pets are allowed in the park and camping area, but not in boats, even personal watercraft. Because Stephen C. Foster State Park is located within a National Wildlife Refuge, gates are locked at night. There is also a $5 refuge fee in addition to the state park fee.(Unless you have a National Park pass)
