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.

quiet refuge, great place for overnight
Stayed here overnight while returning from South Georgia. Was only camper that night, perhaps 10-12 other groups making use of lake/fishing vicinity further into the park -- all of whom exited the park at dark. There is a really nice covered pavilion overlooking the lake if you get rained out (4 picnic tables.) Bathrooms with flush toilets and hot water available 200 yards away from pavilion. Park is split in two sections. The upper section (when you first drive in) is where the camping spots are. The lower section has 3-4 small lakes popular with fishing. T-mobile showed 2 bars 5G allowing you to grab a 1 day fishing pass ($8) to satisfy permit.

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.

Chehaw Park Campground
Great for passing through
Really quiet, Showers in bathrooms on-site. Gated in area so theres the benefit of added security. I wouldn't get full hookups, just get the standard to save a few bucks cuz theres a dump station you can use for free 😉

Another great COE
Concrete level pads, electric and water, large clean showers and bathrooms, laundry only 1.00 per machine, fish cleaning stations, easy drive nort or south for city life and major grocery stores.

Beautiful sunset by the water 🌅
Park was easy to get to. We were on site 1, a back in site. Sites were kinda close together, we heard a little more of our neighbors than we would have liked to. Campground was dog friendly and many were around. Bathrooms and laundry facilities were roomy and clean. The grill and fire pit were in good shape. We didn’t see a store for firewood and charcoal, so bring your own if you’ll need it. Although we didn’t use it, the grounds had a putt putt course that was available for guest use. The camp hosts were very kind.

Perfect pull off spot
We had pull thru site with full hookups. Everything worked and site was level. We made reservations and arrived after staff was gone. There was a detailed map and directions to get to our site. Worked great as a stopover to our final destination.

Awesome remote campsite
We camped here over thanksgiving weekend and were the only ones camping. A few people here and there to visit during the day/evenining but we were the only ones overnight. Very remote and quiet. As others have said, no water or bathrooms. We did have two trucks come unload their loud boats at the ramp around 3:30-4am which was annoying but that’s the risk you take.

Great spot right on the water
Very nice spot. No toilets or drinking water available. There is a trash barrel by the picnic pavilion, but I think the expectation is to pack out trash. You just can’t beat the location though. Right on the water with a great view.

Rood Creek Park Camping
Quiet and Clean Campground
Really nice campground. The Army Corps of engineers maintains the place. Kept up pretty good. Boat launch. Campsites have table, grill and fire pit. Staying one night in route to Dauphin Island, AL. Probably gets busy on weekends. First come, first serve. Free!
Louis N.TravelerGeorgia Veterans State Park Campground
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.

James Dykes Memorial Park Campsite
Great Campsite
Great place to camp for a night or multiple nights! It is free and there are already some fire pits set up. It's close by the river so it has the potential to flood and cops come by to check up on the spot occasionally.

Florence Marina State Park Campground
Bring your fishing pole
Large sites with tall trees and plenty of shade. Easy check in with a friendly park ranger and also met the camp host who was also very nice. There is a big lake for boating and fishing and you can rent a small boat on site. The bathrooms and laundry room were clean but hot and muggy with just a couple of fans running. Not much else going on at this park. Down the road however is Providence Canyon SP and that is an absolute must if you are staying here. Providence Canyon has some great hiking and amazing views.

Our first tent camping experience
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They have an amazing staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. Their pool and splash pad is nicer than most hotels. The site bathrooms/showers and laundry area are kept in very well condition. We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds. 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.

Rood Creek Park Camping
Quiet spot
I came in thursday evening and most spots were full. Fortunately i was able to get one of the last ones. Each come with a couple of parking spots, concrete picnic bench, trash can, and grill. I was able to get a spot on the water, but i’m pretty positive they all are on the water. The road is bumpy on the way in so take it slow.

Great little campground!
It was tough to find at first! You need to go I to what you think is the dam area and then campsite entrance is on the left when you are almost at the dam gateway. 10 sites with water but no electric or sewer. Very quiet right on the river. The dam makes a great white noise for sleeping! I kept thinking I had left a fan on the 1st night, lol! Just two of us here though it is weeknights. Bathroom and showers are across picnic area and up some stairs...always closed when I tried them.

Now One of Our Favs
Our RV GPS and WAZE took us right to the campground(CG). There’s plenty of space to park in front of the clubhouse where you check-in. We were then escorted to pull through site 6 with FHUs for our six-day stay. Our daily fee of$46 consisted of discounts from Passport America at 50% off for 3 days and then a 10% Good Sam discount. The CG had a mixture of permanent, seasonal, transient, and short-termers like us. We stayed here last year at about the same time in early January and really enjoyed ourselves, so we decided to stay longer. Water pressure is around 60 psi here, and we got quite a few OTA channels. There are a few trees in the CG, but we were able to get a good shot for our Starlink. The CG WiFi was okay but glad we had our Starlink. We got two bars on Verizon. The sites are adequately spaced with 6 being one of the better sites. The sites are gravel with a picnic table, standup bbq(in most sites, including ours), and a fire pit. We did not have a fire pit, but we could have fetched one out of an empty site. There’s a pool and laundry attached to the clubhouse. This is a no-frills campground, but there are plans to take out the driving range and put in upgraded RV sites. The clubhouse’s Fire Ant Grill has decent food. We tried their basic cheeseburger and the green olive sauce burger that is based on an old Michigan A&W Root Beer recipe. Both were delicious. Groceries at Dollar General are cheaper than Piggly Wiggly. Katz Veterinary is a good place for basic vet needs. We enjoyed our stay and had fun playing their 9-hole course.

Nice trails but camping close to road
Posted: hunting license, fishing license, or land pass required to camp. May purchase VIA website from camp.
Pulled in with the intention of staying, but after realizing how close the busy road was to the campsites, decided to sleep elsewhere
Cute campground, and enjoyed some of the trails. Looks like it might be a happening hunting spot
Camp sites and camping area in general seem a bit tight if it were full but might be nice for a large group
Side note, if in need of an outlet to charge anything in an emergency, it appears the (closed) hunting check in and check out area has active power (outdoor lights are on as well as interior digital clock) and an outlet is available on the porch/deck area

Cordele KOA
4.2 stars
This KOA is just off of i75, super convenient for an overnight stop (which was what we did). Our boys loved the early 80s Era playground, but unfortunately it wasn't kept up well and was frankly dangerous- the large swingset wasn't anchored to the ground, the fence was partially torn down near the roadway, and there was rust on the equipment. They didn't kbiw the difference and played on it for an hour having lots of fun, but it is an accident waiting to happen. The woman who we dealt with at check in was awesome- super nice and friendly, and gave me a teacher discount. Our site was a nice large pull through with a picnic table and fire ring. Setup wasn't difficult. There was some wet dirt, could probably use some gravel. The campground looked to be in a retired pecan Grove. Not a ton of privacy but large sites and nice trees. While you can hear the highway, this one is not immediately adjacent but one property away, so it isn't bad. The property between the campground and the highway is a large abandoned building.. slightly shady but not a problem. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
