Rustic to the Point of Unsettling

There was something about pulling into Griffis Fish Camp that immediately made me grip my coffee a little tighter, like we’d stumbled into a place frozen somewhere between forgotten and still quietly functioning. The campground itself felt EXTREMELY rustic and VERY loosely laid out, more like a scattering of spaces than a defined campground, with 4–5 makeshift open-air shelters (honestly, almost shack-like), each with small chimneys that gave the whole place a slightly eerie, backwoods feel. Amenities were minimal (at best) and not particularly family-friendly, with no clear structure or sense of upkeep, and while the boys were initially curious, it didn’t take long before that curiosity turned into a bit of unease. One of the more memorable moments was wandering a bit down the back trails and unexpectedly coming across a few massive black boars, which definitely got our attention and sped up our decision-making process. From what we saw, there really isn’t a 'best campsite' here in the traditional sense, but if you were to stay, choosing a spot closer to the main entrance might feel a bit more comfortable than venturing deeper into 'backyard' the property. In the end, we decided this wasn’t the right fit for our family and packed up to head over to Stephen C. Foster State Park Campground, which offered much cleaner facilities, a more structured layout along with an overall environment that felt far more welcoming and appropriate for families.

Quiet camp with boat dock

We found this place using this app on a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. It is a small campground but well maintained. I just called ahead to make sure there were spaces available. Walter met us later that day. We settled at spot 13 with our 22 ft camper. A few sites have covered landings with fireplaces or fire pits. Ours had a fire pit. You can also take a short drive to the back of the property and put in a kayak or small boat into the Suwannee River. I would recommend this campground if you are looking for a quiet place to camp and/or visit the swamp. Walter was very nice and although the place is a little worn down it is well loved. It has also been around for a very long time. I will return.

Great campground

I am currently wintering at Griffis Fish Camp and highly recommend it. Off the beaten path, a great place to rejuvenate. Extremely low daily rates, monthly rates available. Full hookups or boondocking, you can't go wrong. Very clean restroom with showers. On the Suwanee River just outside the Okefenokee. Mr. Al and Ms. Dot are the kindest people and take pride in providing a safe place for campers to enjoy. Cell service is very spotty but they installed a booster so you can get signal near the office. Google rates the campground a 4.8, can't get any better.
