  Oh the Heat

  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.

  No waterfront… no problem

  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.

  Florence Marina State Park Campground

  Right on the Chattahoochee River

  This is a boater campground and marina. It is nice and flat, with sand sites. Water and electric at the sites sites, plus a dump station. We ended up near the campground dumpster so it wasn’t pleasant. It is a short drive to Providence Canyon State Park. There were armadillo in the woods, and blue birds. There is a museum, but it was closed when we were there. There are many nicer State Parks in Georgia!

  Very nice and worth and extended stay

  We stopped here on our way south to Florida out of curiosity.  Earlier in the year, we had been in Cordele to ride the SAM Railway which was based next to the park and had decided to stop on our way back through and check out the campground.  The GVSP is well maintained with alot of open space, lake access and a historical museum honoring Georgia Veterans.  The camping area is spacious with back in and pull through sites.  The roadways were narrow and paved with the sites being gravel and level in most cases.  Sites along the lakefront are a bit more expensive but the lake can be viewed from any site.  Shower houses are cleaned daily by camp hosts and are well maintained.  We were advised by another camper that sites fill up quickly on weekends but are usually available during the week.  We only spent 2 nights (on a whim) but will return for a longer stay in the future.  A great area for biking, fishing and boating.

  Ranger Review: OOFOS Shoes at Cordele KOA

  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!

  https://www.oofos.com/collections/men/products/mens-oomg-low-shoe-white-gray

  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!

  Use my link for 10% off your purchase!

  Keep it moving

  Georgia Veterans State Park sits next to Lake Blackshear and shares the lake front with a resort. There is a marina , condos and a golf course on resort side. On the Park side there is the much more desirable campground:) 

  There are plenty of options to choose from in the three camping “loops”. Some lakeside sites have direct access to the water and in camping area 1 you can get pretty close to the fishing pier. A lot of the sites are pull through , in area 3 all sites are pull through and several of the sites border one of the Nature trails. The primitive walk in tent sites are in area 3. There are two handicap accessible sites and two double sites for group camping(the other sites are close together so this just puts you on the same “pad”)There is shade but definitely more on some sites then others. Not a lot of privacy. It wasn’t real busy or noisy so the open layout wasn’t a major hang up for me. This is definitely more of a “organized”, well maintained, military feel campground. I didn’t get the State Park in the woods vibe at all :) 

  There are rental Cottages which overlook the water some with screen porches. There is a fishing pier behind Cottage one and two.

  In addition there are boocoo recreation activities: 

  Disc golf (a little over grown)

  Pioneer Group campsite

  Aviation and Combat Arms equipment 

  A museum 

  Model airplane field

  Outdoor exercise equipment along with an exercise trail

  Nature trails

  Archery range

  Fishing piers

  Large boat ramp

  Small boat ramp

  Excursion Train

  A beach with facilities and shaded picnic area

  We only took the time to camp and hike but you could easily spend some time here and do something different every day. I’m unfamiliar with the area and wildlife so I kept the boys on short leashes when we walked in the woods , especially near the water. The trails were nice, somewhat maintained and there was old signage plus benches. Not my favorite this trip but nice enough.

  Great family park

  The gnats were pretty bad (September) but the park was fantastic. We stayed at the Pioneer Campground which actually had power, shelter and a shower block. Lots of activities to keep the family entertained, golf, swimming, the lake, war museum, a couple of restaurants as well.

  Overall very happy with the place and the service of the staff.

  Birthday bash at Lake Blackshear

  Campsites #18-19

  We stayed at these two campsites for a long birthday weekend. The sites were fairly level and backed up to one of the finger coves off this lake. That ended up having pros and cons... The bugs and gnats were bad in early September on several of the nights there. It have water, cable, 50/30 amp electric, fire ring and picnic table. The site were spacious and very clean. It was an on and off rainy trip and water did come through the site because the site was off an incline. It was a slight walk to the bathrooms and they were very clean although needed a bit of upgrading. The host came up to greet us and make sure all was good with our stay. We bought firewood for $5 a bundle of 5-6 piece. There was golfing and a large swimming pool at the resort that we did not use. You could also rent pontoon boats, kayaks and canoes to explore the lake. One drawback was no sewer hookups. So you have to allow an extra hour to dump and go. We did not like having to ration water usage during out trip. This was a one and done for us as the gnats were a real turnoff and no sewer hookups. So many other parks to explore.

  Group camping - great place!

  We camped here with our Cub Scout Pack for the weekend. Loved the museum and outdoor aircrafts and tanks! There was a easy walking trail to and from the pioneer camp. The highlight was for sure the railroad that is right next to the camping area. The passenger train comes through twice a day and it so neat to see up close. Pioneer campsite is not well marked from the main road, but that may be on purpose.

  Average stay

  Site #52, full hookup site, slightly unlevel but generally a good site.

  Park has a museum and war time tank and aircraft.  Large field where local airplane hobbyists come and fly their models.  Campground was quiet, and very dark at night.  We did see some wildlife roaming as we ventured out in to the park.  

  The hosts did a good job of keeping the restrooms clean.  I don't recall seeing any park officials driving through the campground.

  Campground is at the back of the park, so not a lot of outside traffic.  Fishing and boating, Restaurant and bar not busy at all.   

  I will say it was pricey, $60/night

  Beautiful views - FREE LAUNDRY

  We camped here on the way to Florida. We enjoyed all of the military history around the park. There is also a disc golf course my husband played. Best part for us full timers was the FREE laundry. 🤣

  Fun Family Campground

  This campground is perfect for families. They have a playground and fishing. Kids can ride bikes and swim right at the bank near the campsites. Closer to the entrance to the park there is a veterans memorial.

  Love Lake Blackshear

  The campground at Veteran’s is one of my favorites. They have sites on the water, which is where I stayed. Bathhouse is clean. Host were very friendly. Easy to fish here. Great place for kids as you can ride to different areas to fish of go the “beach” and let them swim in the lake. There are sites that are less desirable than others. Just depends on what you prefer.

  Water views are the best !

  Spot #30 has a Water view and is less expensive than a site on the water. So if you bring a boat you can pull it up on shore by your site. Very nice camp ground, park, marina, golf and military museum. #30 is a long pull thru site with water and electric. Well worth the visit.

  went here for a nice little day trip and a picnic, it was such a great place to let the tots run around and frolic, there weren't many other groups there at the time, so it seemed very private. such a great place to take the family, we will definitely be back!

  Great stop if you’re passing through

  Stopped here to camp overnight on our way down to Florida from Ohio. Arrived around 9:30 and was able to check-in after hours via a box with an envelope next to the office. Only us and a few other people so it was pretty quiet. The restrooms were very clean and well lit, and in this current covid time going to a public restroom can be dicey so I appreciated that.

  It is right next to the highway, which is quick and great if you’re just pulling in for the night. We camped in a truck but if you’re a tent camper you will be hearing the dull roar of the expressway all night if that bothers you!

  The Staff is the Hidden Gem

  This campground became an unplanned stop for us following an accident on I-75 where we were hit and our fifth wheel incapacitated for about five hours. We called and they happily put us in a spot for the night if we could make it / be towed there - and didn’t bother with the financials till later since we weren’t sure we could. The staff work super hard and the park is well kept. It’s a quiet setting which has been a fantastic for us with so many insurance issues and tasks to recover our losses on our totaled rig. We had friends come and camp by us for several days just to offer support and they noticed the manager Bob works way harder than any one person should.

  The only reason it wasn’t five stars is the pool is not open - a fence is down from the highway department doing some road work and the big yellow sign is also down. This made it very difficult for us to find the entrance in our damaged RV in the rain.
