Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Americus, GA

Georgia Veterans State Park Campground accommodates campers with dogs throughout its facilities, providing spacious pet-friendly options for tent, RV, cabin, and glamping stays. The campground maintains clean sites with level gravel pads and offers basic pet amenities including nearby walking paths and open areas for exercise. Bathrooms and shower facilities are well-maintained daily by camp hosts, making longer stays comfortable for pet owners. Sites along Lake Blackshear allow dogs to accompany boaters, with some campers noting they could pull boats directly up on shore near their campsite. The gnats can be troublesome during certain seasons, particularly in September, so pet owners should pack appropriate repellent.

KOA Americus features raised tent platforms at pet-friendly sites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and electrical outlets. The campground includes a fenced dog park where pets can exercise off-leash. Highway noise from nearby rumble strips may disturb sensitive pets, though the campground itself maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Located near Andersonville National Historic Site, the area provides numerous walking opportunities for dogs. The disc golf course that surrounds the camping area offers additional space for on-leash walks. Campers report Tree frogs and wildlife are abundant throughout the property, with coyotes occasionally heard at night, so keeping dogs leashed and supervised is essential for their safety.

    KOA Americus

    Gnats! And frogs

    We stayed at the Americus KOA while completing our Canyon Challenge in Georgia. Right outside Americus, GA the campground sites are an extension of the Brickyard Plantation Golf Club and surrounded by the disc golf course. 

    This summer I had gotten a KOA membership to try it out. Of the KOA’s I stayed in this was by far one of the more spacious ones. I don’t know if it had any larger of an area but the openness of the golf course and surrounding area made it feel much bigger then the others ones I’ve visited. There were plenty of options to walk along the sides of the camping area and on the golf course. The dog park was a small area not really worth taking the dogs off their leads. But there were poo bags if you forgot yours;) Several water areas which I was leery of because of possible snakes. ( and yea I wondered about alligators, lol)

    It was not lacking in wildlife! The cute tree frogs were everywhere. Bring your gnat repellent!!! They were horrible. Aside from the annoyance factor I guess it was better then mosquitoes. If you have a screen tent definitely pack it for this trip. In addition the coyotes came through the area , setting my dogs off at about 2 am the first night. There was “something” crying pitifully our second night there. I could not decide if it was a “cat” or possibly a baby raccoon, we did not go looking for it. 

    The nearby town had the street names of Lee, Jackson and Cotton to name a few and I didn’t really find anything exceptional to bring me back.

    We placed our tent on the gravelled square at our site and hung the hammock. The showerhouse and laundry were within 25 feet of our site. The office was about 100 ft away and a community building with kitchen was about 25 ft from us. Very quiet area (aside from the wildlife) other campers mostly stayed inside their RVs.

    Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801

    Cute RV stop

    Check in through the Loves app or onsite Kiosk. We tried to call ahead and pay cash onsite. The cashiers worked it out but apparently they aren’t set up to take cash reservations. We checked in late at night, which was a plus for our flexible travel plans. The campground is separated from the truck stop by a fence. Fire pit at your site and a communal one that’s open until midnight. Splash pad, dog park, pickle ball court, and 2 pavilions with grills. It’s actually a really cute site to be attached to a truck stop! It’s walking distance to Loves for necessities. Site 2 is near the office/dog park. Pull through sites and back in. Nice and level on concrete.

    Camp David RV Resort

    Work in progress

    Great location if you are visiting FT. Benning. Not quite a “resort” yet, but maybe soon. They are under construction, but most spots were full. Felt more like tailgating than camping. Beautiful paved path leading to dog park, playground, golf course and river walk. Recommend screen shelter as there is no shade and it can get hot and buggy. Also, wear closed toe or muck boots as there are large stones and broken glass imbedded in all the sites. Clean port a potty. Do your shopping before hitting the site as the area right around it is very economically depressed. We had a great week long visit with our soldier before he moved on to his next assignment.

    KOA Americus

    Americus GA KOA

    This is a really nice campground. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean! The tent sites have really nice raised tent platforms, with a picnic table and fire ring. The site light was bright and the electrical outlet came in handy. There was disc golf, golf, and a nice fenced dog park. Only thing that could have been better would be if the tent sites were spaced a little further apart!

    Twin Oaks RV Park

    Would have stayed longer!

    Very nice rv park! Has many amenities that you would find at the "chain" campgrounds at a fraction of the cost. Great staff and easy booking process. Trash pick up, dog park, pool, games! Even had someone to follow to our site, which I have found doesn't happen every day. If we find ourselves in the area in the future, we would be happy to stay again.

    Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801

    Loves is about to take over!!!!

    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.

    Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801

    Great Short Stay Campground

    This review is written from a short-stay campground (CG) perspective versus a destination location. RV GPS took us right to the Loves Travel Stop from I-75. The Love’s Travel Stop is adjacent to the truck area exit. We used the gate code provided in the email and proceeded to back-in site 23 at the far end of the CG. Back-in was easy and the utilities were towards the back of the cement pad. The 50 amp electric worked great including not going out during the severe thunderstorms we experienced during our overnight stay. The water pressure was good at around 51 psi. We chose site 23 as it has a little yard and is a bit separated from the campsite on our door/passenger side. Site 24 was very close to our utilities side. There was grass and a fire pit barbecue at the rear of both sites 23 and 24. There’s a picnic table that could have been moved over to site 23 from 24. The pull-through sites are very close together and do not have a picnic table or a fire pit. There are back-in sites of various lengths around the back fence line with covered picnic table patios that overlook a field. There are also back-in sites at the front of the CG that back up to the Loves truck parking area. There were a couple of decent yard sites there, but there would be more road and truck noise. At site 23, there were truck and occasional train noises, but not as bad as we expected. This little CG has all your amenities for a short stay. The building at the gate has showers, restrooms, laundry, ice, a beverage machine, and firewood. There was also a nice dog park with a side for large dogs and another for small dogs. They had a little splash park playground and a pickleball court. We got 4 bars LTE on Verizon. Currently, there are no mature trees near any of the sites, so satellite would not be a problem. Their Wifi worked okay. One side of the CG is adjacent to the Love’s truck and gas station and the opposite side has a pretty field with trees. We’ve stayed at several Loves RV Travel Stops, and this one was the nicest so far.
