Best Campgrounds near Baxley, GA

111 Reviews

The Baxley area in southeastern Georgia features a mix of rural campgrounds and RV parks along rivers and within forested areas. Towns Bluff Park sits along the Altamaha River approximately 20 miles northwest of Baxley, offering tent camping, RV sites with full hookups, and cabin accommodations. Several smaller RV parks including JB's RV Park and Small Living RV Park provide basic amenities closer to town. Nearby state parks like General Coffee State Park and Jack Hill State Park expand camping options with additional facilities for both tent and RV campers within a 30-mile radius.

Many campsites in the region remain open year-round with mild winters and hot, humid summers typical of southeast Georgia. Water access represents a key feature at several campgrounds, particularly at Towns Bluff Park. "This is a county campground out in the middle of the woods, isolated, quiet and very nice," noted one visitor about Towns Bluff. Most RV parks offer full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections, while tent camping areas may have more limited facilities. Cell service can be spotty in more remote areas, and some primitive camping areas may have seasonal closures during extremely wet periods when roads become difficult to navigate.

Campers consistently highlight the peaceful atmosphere and natural surroundings available at campgrounds in the area. The Altamaha River serves as a focal point for outdoor recreation, with boat ramps providing access for fishing and water activities at Towns Bluff Park. A camper described it as "a great place for family and dogs where you can relax and enjoy the river." The more secluded locations offer wildlife viewing opportunities and quiet environments, though limited amenities at some locations. Several reviewers mentioned appreciating the spacious sites at Towns Bluff compared to more compact arrangements at some of the state parks. Campgrounds closer to town provide convenience to basic supplies and services, while those along the river offer more seclusion and natural settings.

    General Coffee State Park Campground

    Very peaceful

    We spent one night here. Be careful about some of the pull through spaces as there are trees that might make it difficult for longer RVs to get into. Our space was nice and level, had water and electric, the bathrooms were so so. Clean but the showers could’ve used a little attention. We did do our laundry here which was relatively inexpensive. Nice hike through the woods. There were quite a few potholes on the road, coming back into the campground.

    Vidalia Sweet Onion RV Park

    Still Recovering from Hurricane Helen

    There are multiple RV sites available and they have a power supply as well as individual site fresh water RV in-line and RV waste water disposal lines. NEW picnic tables are also located on the plots. Several lamp posts and barbecue grills are in still in a state of disrepair due to the storm damage. This cute little area will bounce back better, but it needs the financial help of other RV enthusiasts to make it wonderful again.

    Hidden Forest RV Club

    Cute little campground

    Open field campground with minimal amenities (no bath/showers) and FHU. Off the main roads and very quiet. Farm animals and trails a plus.

    Jack Hill State Park

    Should be a City Park

    Super tiny, tiny lake, in the middle of town, trails closed, maintenance ok, tons of ants, couple of nice sites with eater views although site 18 is right on top of the one to its left so terrible view. Good: fishing and full hookups.

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nice campground for a short stay.

    This is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.

    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.

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nicely kept, not much to do

    The camping area is very small, with sites close to each other and no privacy (flat area, tall pines without vegetation between sites). Having said that, it was pretty quiet; mostly used by retirees. It has a cute dog park, with areas for large and small pups. It has clean bathrooms and washer dryer that accepts apple pay. Park has a tiny beach for its tiny lake. Unfortunately, the very small lake is used by jet skiers and ski boats so very loud and no good for swimming, paddling or fishing except really early or late in the day. Two short trails are cute with tortoises. The bugs are enthusiastic so if you’re not ready to bathe in DEET, you will pay the price. Good park to spend the night on the way somewhere.
