    General Coffee State Park Campground provides opportunities for equestrian enthusiasts with dedicated camping areas. The equestrian campground consists of four sites positioned close together with pit toilets but no shower facilities. Visitors need to purchase a shower pass to access facilities in the main campgrounds. The park features both equestrian and hiking trails throughout the property, with several miles available for horseback riding. The heritage farm area includes horses and other animals that visitors can interact with and feed. Trail connectivity throughout the park allows riders to explore diverse terrain including wooded areas and sections along the 17-mile river.

    Located near Nicholls, Georgia, approximately 30 minutes from Adel, the park offers varying campground experiences depending on preferences.

      Near Yet Far

      Beautiful and secluded setting near Douglas, GA. Well kept campsites, restrooms and showers. Plenty of playgrounds for the kids. Water and electric sites available with mostly level parking. Campsites are nicely spaced so you're not right on top of your neighbors. Nice little park store at the entrance with extremely friendly people. Dump station available. Boat rentals available.

      Very peaceful

      We spent one night here. Be careful about some of the pull through spaces as there are trees that might make it difficult for longer RVs to get into. Our space was nice and level, had water and electric, the bathrooms were so so. Clean but the showers could’ve used a little attention. We did do our laundry here which was relatively inexpensive. Nice hike through the woods. There were quite a few potholes on the road, coming back into the campground.

      Still recovering from Helen

      Came in June 2025. Only one trail open and it’s not the one with access to swamp. The park has beautiful bone structure and I’m sure once fixed, it will be great. But as of now, very limited hiking. We did not visit farm but it seemed cute as well as its little lake where we saw brim and bass. Campground 1 is on an unpaved but well packed dirt road. Sites are small with limited privacy but very quaint. Campground 2 has a paved main road, with bigger sites and more privacy. All sites are pull thru. Outer ones give you access to the nature trail (closed except for small loop). Because it’s near the swamp, it is hot, humid and buggy. Bring your thermacells.

      Late arrival

      We got in after office closed. They called us to give us info for our arrival, even offering an bigger camp site due to our trailer size. Upon arrival the dam host Martha advised us to take shelter in a cinder block building due to tornado warnings. Everyone very accommodating & helpful!

      Great campground for younger campers

      We have always liked “quieter” campgrounds with less crowds, more open spaces, and larger sites. That being said, this park has some nice hiking trails, equestrian trails, a really interesting and enjoyable farm with animals, and a lot of stuff to do. The store has the basics, like firewood and ice and some odds and ends. We stayed in the equestrian campground, which consists of four sites. They are very close together. They also only have pit toilets and no shower facilities. We had to buy a shower pass in order to use the shower facilities in the main campgrounds. The campgrounds there have no privacy; they are jam packed together, but great if you are a social camper. Very little foliage in those areas leaves you zero privacy. It’s very noisy also. Facilities were relatively clean. Campsite loop one is older, campsite two is newer. If you want some peace and quiet, and don’t mind the lack of showers, the equestrian sites are the way to go. If you’re a social camper, go with loop two. Loop one just looks a bit tired and in need of updating.

      Loved it!

      The campsite was very private and backed up to the woods. The farm was so much fun and the people were absolutely amazing! They walked us around and gave us a little tour, they were super friendly!

      Great weekend camp

      This is a good campground divided into 2 loops. Many pull throughs. We had site #12 which was gigantic. All the sites are open to your neighbors. Small park with a few trails, small pond, and farm. The farm was great with chickens, sheep, donkey and horse. On our visit there were 3 day old lambs!! Can fish in small pond and rent peddle boats or kayaks but this pond is very small. This is a great place for 3/4 days. Went for dinner and to local bakery in nearby town of Douglas Georgia.

    What to do

    Trail riding opportunities: Explore the West River Trail that runs through the park alongside the 17-Mile River. "This little jewel has everything you need for a great time. Plenty of good walking trails and a great petting zoo. I love the old houses, it gives you a feeling of what it was like 100 years ago," notes Jennifer H. about General Coffee State Park Campground.

    Heritage farm visits: Purchase animal feed at the visitor center to interact with farm animals. "We have gone to this campground a couple of times now and every time we go it has been a great visit. We love buying carrots to feed all the farm animals and if you want some good exercise rent one of the pedal boats," shares Kirsten W.

    Fishing access: Fish in the small pond near the heritage farm or access the 17-Mile River via a gravel road from the picnic shelter area. "The lake is big enough to boat around in for a little while and there are fish to be caught- carp from what I could tell," explains one camper who visited recently.

    What campers like

    Clean facilities: Campground maintenance receives consistent praise from visitors. "Bathrooms are always spotless. Nice paved roadway. Gravel sites all of them pull through. Large private sites," says Michael R.

    Wildlife interactions: The rural setting provides opportunities to observe and interact with animals. "Humble and super hospitable super friendly people they've got baby goats donkeys horses chicken that roam free during the day and at night the donkey keep predators away so it's super safe and quiet if you don't mind the roosters," explains Theresa B. about her experience at Big Mike's Ranch and RV Camp.

    What you should know

    Seasonal conditions: Summer months bring heat, humidity, and insects. "Because it's near the swamp, it is hot, humid and buggy. Bring your thermacells," advises one camper about General Coffee State Park.

    Facility limitations: Equestrian sites lack shower facilities. "The camp restrooms are adequate but not at all ADA accessible at campground #1. There are 3 toilet stalls, 2 that have working latches, and 2 shower stalls- both with working latches," reports Kayla S. about the facilities at General Coffee State Park.

    Access considerations: Road conditions may affect travel to certain horse campgrounds near Adel, Georgia. "There were quite a few potholes on the road, coming back into the campground," notes Lisa M.

    Tips for camping with families

    Heritage farm activities: Children enjoy feeding and interacting with the farm animals. "The farm is always fun for the kids. Great place for bike rides too," shares one regular visitor to General Coffee State Park.

    Rental equipment: Families can rent pedal boats or kayaks at the small lake when facilities are open. "On our visit there were 3 day old lambs!! Can fish in small pond and rent peddle boats or kayaks but this pond is very small. This is a great place for 3/4 days," advises Rachel G.

    Extension cords helpful: For tent campers, some sites have electrical hookups positioned far from tent pads. "The electric box is a little further from the tent pad than most sites I've stayed at, so I was happy that I brought an extension cord," notes Kayla S.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection cautions: Large rigs should choose sites carefully due to tree placement. "Be careful about some of the pull through spaces as there are trees that might make it difficult for longer RVs to get into. Our space was nice and level, had water and electric," warns Lisa M.

    Dump station location: The sanitary dump station is visible from some campsites. "This site is the first site to the right when you pull into the campground. There are trash cans at the campground exit and a direct line of sight view of the dump station," explains one camper about site #1.

    Hookup availability: Various levels of hookups are available at equestrian campgrounds near Adel, Georgia. "It's 2 nights free $10 after with no electric or stay primitive for however long and 15 a night electric I believe," shares Theresa B. about pricing options at one local ranch.
