Best Campgrounds near Alamo, GA

Established campgrounds surround Alamo, Georgia with varied accommodation types. Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge offers tent, RV and cabin camping with full hookups and showers in a wooded setting, while Towns Bluff Park provides water access through boat-in sites. George L. Smith State Park Campground, approximately 25 miles northeast of Alamo, features a cypress-lined lake popular with kayakers. Most locations accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several sites offering cabin rentals or glamping options for those seeking additional comfort.

Campground accessibility remains consistent year-round with most parks open all seasons. "Clean and shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms. The park has many amenities just a short walk away," notes one visitor about Little Ocmulgee State Park. Summer humidity levels can be high, particularly at parks near swampy areas where insects become prevalent. Several campgrounds provide electric hookups, showers, and flush toilets, though primitive camping areas like those at Ocmulgee WMA offer more basic facilities. Cell service varies by location, with stronger coverage near towns and limited connectivity in more remote settings. Campers should be prepared for sandy trails and potential flooding near riverside camping areas.

Water features define many camping experiences in the region. The cypress-filled lake at George L. Smith State Park receives particular praise from visitors, with one camper describing it as "a great place to canoe or kayak as it has lots of nooks and crannies on the paddling trails." Several parks offer fishing opportunities, with Towns Bluff Park situated on what one reviewer called "the best catfish river out there." Campground layouts vary considerably - some provide spacious sites with privacy between neighbors, while others position campsites more closely together. Quieter experiences can typically be found at smaller parks and primitive sites, while developed campgrounds often provide family-friendly amenities like splash pads, mini-golf, and playgrounds. Wildlife sightings are common, with parks like General Coffee State Park featuring farm animals that children can visit and feed.

    James Dykes Memorial Park Campsite

    Great spot to catch some Zzz

    Solid, well lit camp grounds. You could easily fit a dozen or more cars/tents here. I was alone most of the night. Would recommend if you're looking for a quiet place to camp/fish.

    Vidalia Sweet Onion RV Park

    Still Recovering from Hurricane Helen

    There are multiple RV sites available and they have a power supply as well as individual site fresh water RV in-line and RV waste water disposal lines. NEW picnic tables are also located on the plots. Several lamp posts and barbecue grills are in still in a state of disrepair due to the storm damage. This cute little area will bounce back better, but it needs the financial help of other RV enthusiasts to make it wonderful again.

    Hidden Forest RV Club

    Cute little campground

    Open field campground with minimal amenities (no bath/showers) and FHU. Off the main roads and very quiet. Farm animals and trails a plus.

    Jack Hill State Park

    Should be a City Park

    Super tiny, tiny lake, in the middle of town, trails closed, maintenance ok, tons of ants, couple of nice sites with eater views although site 18 is right on top of the one to its left so terrible view. Good: fishing and full hookups.

    Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge

    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.

    General Coffee State Park 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.

    Jack Hill State Park

    Perfect For First Camping Trip

    This place was great! It was our first camping trip as a family. We had the one tent only site. It was so quiet…until we got there…then our little kiddos were loud haha. It was actually perfect for our kids, we didn’t even get to do all the activities in our two night stay. We fished but didn’t catch anything. We did however see two small alligators in the lake! We were a little bummed the nature trail was still closed due to the hurricane Helene damage. There was a main road nearby but if you can handle the noise of a few passing cars then you won’t have any problems. Bathrooms were clean, staff was very welcoming and helpful, and campground was very clean. We plan to go back!

    James Dykes Memorial Park Campsite

    Free - far off main highway.

    Given four stars cause at least it was free. I was actually the only camper there on a Monday night. It’s cool by the river if you like fishing. Bugs of course. Seems like a lot of locals would just drive down there and back. I did see some kids swimming right before I left.There’s a nice pavilion if you’re with the group. I only complain is it’s further off the main highway than I would’ve anticipated. But that’s on me!

    Ocmulgee WMA Primitive Camping

    Beautiful and quiet

    It was a beautiful drive from I-75 and the location is worth the trip. It’s not huge but the pond and lake is amazing at sunset and sunrise. It was open 24/7 including the restroom at the office. The restroom is a bit rough because of the iron in the water but the fixtures appeared otherwise clean. Only 2 other quiet campers in the campground so plenty of room to spread out.
