Camping facilities in this part of south Georgia remain accessible throughout the year due to the mild climate, though summer humidity and heat can be intense. Most campgrounds provide shaded sites to help mitigate the summer temperatures. "We stayed in site 33 at Reed Bingham State Park as just a way to break up a long drive. What a pleasant surprise, lots of nice hiking trails, one that follows the Little River and then connects to other trails," noted one camper. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays at popular spots like Reed Bingham State Park. Many campgrounds in the area feature full hookups with 30/50-amp service, though primitive camping options exist at places like Paradise PFA, which offers boat-in access and basic amenities.

    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.

    Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801

    Great for an overnight

    It’s a great option for an overnight stay. Easy in and out with large full hook up sites on large concrete pads. The campground is gated and secure. Can grab fuel and coffee on the way out in the morning. We have used this campground the last 2 years on our drive home as a last stop to really clean the tanks and get the camper ready to store. Will come again on our way home next summer.

    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.

    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!

    Killebrew Park

    Nice spots on the water

    No frills campground. Some spots have large square fire rings and others have round ones. We chose a spot right under a street light so we had plenty of light after dark. There is a boat ramp, shore fishing and a fishing pier all right here. They lock the gates at 10 so its only campers after that. Pretty much each site has their own trash can though a couple share if it logistically makes sense. You just pull in, pick a site and call the dam. You need to hit extension 3/damn operations/power plant or emergency assistance after 5pm. They will send some One down from the plant and its $5 out the door per night cash only. We were told it use to be free but they started charging to keep the trouble makers away. I will absolutely return here again. Such a way better deal Than the state park that wanted like $40 🤣. They have a shower house, but its up a steep Incline so if you have mobility issues you might not be able to make it.
