Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Albany, GA

First time at loves and loving it. Wi-Fi was good but we were the only ones there. Been open 3 weeks as of this review. 42 spots and very easy check in process. Do it from your phone or kiosk. Perfect for getting in and setting up no waiting on host or attendants. You must check in on phone or kiosk as the electric post are Wi-Fi connected and will not work without a reservation or check-in for that date. Once checked in post with activate plugs for power. Splash and play area and dog park. New pickle ball court with rental equipment at kiosk. Spots are close and most of the pads are only 50-55ft long pull thru and back in available. Also has a dog wash booth just outside the campground.

We had a nice overnight stay coming back from florida. We love to stay anyplace with a lake or river so this was a pretty park with a nice lake. Not crowded which we love and pet friendly which is important to us.

Well-maintained campground with small cabins (some with AirConditioning) and RV sites. Friendly staff / owners. Easy access from Atlanta, Albany, and from Florida. Located on the Flint River. Very reasonably priced as well!

Chris was very welcoming when we arrived. Got a beautiful ahaded spot in an end and right across from the site.as a beautiful field our dog, Blaze, really enjoyed. The pool was open and already in use. Wevwill be back again.

Campsites– some spots are spacious like the pull thru but it appears everyone shares one electrical box with a neighbor. Pull thru sites are nice packed gravel/clay and a lot of the back in sites are grassy. There are longer stays available here and some of the sites have that “little too comfortable” look. There is a military base in town, so I am sure this used by military and government workers at times. You will have to call and make your reservation. From past experiences- it is good to double check your reservation or have them email you/mail you your confirmation- check to make sure the site you are assigned has the hook up you are paying for and if you have to share an electrical box you need to find out if there are two 50 amps or if one user gets a 30 amp and the other gets a 50AMP.

There are a couple of cabins and there is also a tent/group camping area too.

Bathhouse- has a washers/ dryers in a screened in area. Bathroom facility is older but maintained. NOTE–> Only one Shower and one family shower

WIFI was only ok- we thought we would get better being so close to Albany. It was better with our boosters, and we used verizon jet packs with our sprint phones.

Activities- we always camp here when we participate in the annual Nut Roll biking event (30-100 mile options)

There is a small wild life park with animal exhibits(extra fee) , hiking trails, mountain biking trails, fantastic playground and water element for kids, BMX track, remote control car track, disc golf and kayaking/fishing just outside the park entrance. There is a more extensive review on our website about the activities.

Water only, 10 sites, stayed #3 in 30foot 5th wheel with F250 and had room to spare

T-Mobile 5G, 270 meg down, 34meg up Verizon worked great (almost as good as T-Mobile) Visible 13meg down, 3meg up Even Cricket data was not too sluggish

Small, quiet on hydro-electric side of river. Some people are slobs and our dog kept finding food scraps - like chicken bones. Great staff. I would repeat.

Bathrooms not so great, need to be touched up as 1960 decor is looking tired

Spent 3 nights at Kolomoki Mounds State Park, site 6 on the water. Really enjoyed it. Small campground with a short walk to the beach and day use area. Playgrounds and mini golf for the kids and a variety of walking trails. We were warned to keep our small dog and kids away from the water when unsupervised, but didn't catch a glimpse of any gators. The mounds were neat, and we took a side trip to Providence Canyon State Park about an hour north.

Ranger Review: OOFOS shoes at Cordele KOA Journey

Campground Review:

Right off I75 in Georgia sits a small KOA with TONS of amenities! Being just a block off the interstate I assumed it would be noisy. But all the trees make a great sound barrier and we had a nice quiet weekend and will definitely be back!

This campground accommodates Campers, with spaces up to 90 foot long! (up to 50 amp), Tents, and even offers Cabin Rental! Has a pool, propane fill station, firewood to purchase, laundry room and updated bathhouse. a dog area, wifi and even offers cable, for the people who like to camp inside 😉

Our weekend cost was about $70 for out tent site, there were a few people staying in a camper long term who mentioned they do offer reduced rates. I didn’t get to check on the cabins, but they look super cute from the outside and run $50 a night if you book online.

Nearby attractions (we did not visit) include Lake Blackshear, a manmade lake, with a really cool dam, and Georgia Veterans State Park on one side. They have a marina and beach. And The Andersonville National Historic Site the location of a Confederate prison where 13,000 Union soldiers died.

Product review: OOFOS SHOE

As a Dyrt Ranger I was privileged to get a major discount on an awesome pair of OOFOS shoes.

I'm telling you now, this is the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my feet! It's like walking on pillows every step you take! I have arthritis in both my knees and have been having some trouble lately. The day my shoes got here I was eager to try them on, and once I did, they didnt come off the rest of the night! They help with the pain of walking, and my knees havent hurt in a week. I'm in love!

They're made of a really squishy, super lightweight foam. And have a breathable mesh top. I ordered the light gray color, and love the tiny pop of lime green in the logo and little tag to help pull them on. I was hesitant when I seen they had no laces and the rubber strap on top was fixed. But i had no problems getting them on, the mesh is stretchy and my foot slid right in!

My only complaint is that small rocks get stuck in the bottom of the shoe, in the middle tread. But, they're easy to pop out.

They also offer flip flops too, so that will be my next purchase. OOFOS will be my go to shoes from now on!

One of the better State Parks in Georgia

I rent a little cabin and it was really nice. I usually camp with tents but with the Georgia heat and all the bugs I wasnt going to deal with it this time. I would recommend the same. The cost is fair and they are clean.

We really enjoyed our stay at Georgia Veterans Memorial SP. we stayed in site 72 on Camping area #3. It faced the woods with a walking path. It was very private with the exception of the occasional hiker. So it was very nice to feel so secluded.

Our GPS accurately brought us in from Montgomery, AL, to Wanee. This was our third time here, but the first time since the campground (CG) was bought by Outdoor Adventure Retreats. We had reserved a site in the new area that used to be the diving range. Check in was quick and we received a nice information package. We were then escorted to back-in site 41 with FHUs. As the new section had only been open for a month. We were told we’re probably the first to stay in this site. We did get some brown water when we first connected, but that cleared after running the water for a few minutes. The cement pad was plenty long enough for our 40’ 5th wheel, and there was plenty of gravel to park our F450. The utilities are centered on the pad, which was nice to be able to reach both sewer dumps. The water pressure was okay at about 40 psi. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot for Starlink. The CG has really good WiFi with a download speed of 52.2. We were here for a week to play golf, but due to cold weather we only got out a couple of times. Their golf packages with a cart are for a monthly stay, but the golf prices are still good and they offer a 10% military discount. Without golf, you can rent a golf cart for $20 per day. They have a bath house with laundry ($2 to wash and $2 to dry) with plans to expand. The old section still has the majority of the full-timers and transients. There’s a new fenced dog area. Not huge, but a decent size. Site 41 doesn’t have any close neighbors and is probably one of the best sites in the CG. You are near the first tee, and we enjoyed watching golfers tee off. There should be enough trees to stop a sliced ball from hitting your rig. We noticed that the old area’s permanent or transient residents’ sites were neat and orderly. The last two times we stayed here, that was not the case. Hopefully, this is new management’s doing, and they keep that practice going.

This beautiful hidden gem is just a stone’s throw west of Adel, Georgia. Accessible off of Interstate 75, this State Park is worth visiting. Activities you can enjoy are camping, boating, fishing, kayaking, hiking, swimming, geocaching, and picnicking. The staff are wonderful and the campground is well kept. They have bike a bike rental shop at the campground along with firewood and other necessities. There’s a shower house that is availability to all campers. We absolutely love it here!! So close to home but far enough to get away:)
