We are a rural property that offers primitive camping, fishing and bring your horses for trail rides.

Went to the site for an overnight tent camp with my son. Campground was nice, and tent site had power, water, area for car to be parked tend to be set up and food to be cooked. Amenities are great. Bathhouse super close to tent sites. Swimming area really fun. Only downside was boat ramps were unusually busy so the swimming area was a bit exhaust filled for a little while. Play ground was fun plenty of areas to explore with kids. Overall a great site and I will return.

I’ve been camping at General Coffee for over 10 years and I’ll never stop coming back. The heritage farm is worth it just by itself, but it doesn’t stop there. The trails are long enough to get a nice workout in and the cabins are beautiful! I’ve only ever stayed in the cabins but I’m sure the tent camping is great too.
GuideWe tent camped for 2 nights in campsite #1 in campground #1. This site is the first site to the right when you pull into the campground. There are trash cans at the campground exit and a direct line of sight view of the dump station. The west river trail runs right behind the campsite. The site itself is spacious with plenty of shade. There are a couple of good sets of trees for hanging a hammock. The electric box is a little further from the tent pad (which is packed sand and not gravel) than most sites I’ve stayed at, so I was happy that I brought an extension cord. The camp restrooms are adequate but not at all ADA accessible at campground #1. There are 3 toilet stalls, 2 that have working latches, and 2 shower stalls- both with working latches. Both of the showers have a small little room for you to change clothes with a hook on the wall and a hook on the door and a little bench. If you’re tall, be ready to duck to get your head under the water because the shower heads are low. Temperature and pressure were good. Bonus perk- stray cats at the campground.
The park itself has some cool trails. We hiked the west river trail all the way to the farm at the front of the park. It took us over wooden boardwalks over swampy Cyprus areas and through the forest around the 17 mile river. It was pretty and the heritage tobacco farm was really cool. There are restrooms and a coke machine at the farm. The coke machine takes cards, but bring lots of water with you. There are lots of animals that are used to being fed, so buy some food at the visitor’s center, or prepare to be made to feel guilty. The farm is situated next to a small lake, and when the world isn’t shutdown due to COVID-19, they rent boats. The lake is big enough to boat around in for a little while and there are fish to be caught- carp from what I could tell.
There was a small gravel road that split off from the first group picnic shelter area that takes you down to the 17 mile river for fishing access. The 17 mile river dries up some years, but the deeper “lakes” keep water in them during those dry years. The river wasn’t flowing while we were here, but there was some standing water in places that would have been dry if it hadn’t rained recently.
The park is about an hour and a half drive from the main entrance of the Okefenokee swamp. We drove down there and rented a kayak so we both could go paddle the swamp. On the way down there, somewhere outside of waycross, we passed a mudding course, if that’s more your style.
Overall, this is someplace that I probably wouldn’t come back to because I’ve done all the things that the park has to offer, and there are more parks to explore. It’s definitely worth a visit for a night or two, or as a jumping off point for other activities this part of the state has to offer.

This is a county campground. It takes Pass Port America for Sunday thru Wednesday. If you’re looking for a resort campground, go somewhere else, this out in the middle of the woods, isolated, quiet and very nice. The lady that runs the museum & campground is very nice. She will do anything within her power to make your stay great. The sites are water & electric with a dump site as you leave 30/50 amp pull through/ back in. All sites appear to be close to level. Hazelhurst & Baxley are reasonably close. Gas/Diesel within 3 miles. Good food at Jan’s Chicken & Ma’s close to Uvalda.

Wonderful place to enjoy nature. Boat landing. Camper or tent.

This RV Park is clean, friendly and has Full Water and Sewer Hookups. It's off Highway 341 which connects Coastal and Middle Georgia.
ScoutI stayed at Beaver Creek for a little over a month. It's very quiet but convenient to stores and about 15 minutes from Jesup Georgia which is a small but adequate town. Miss Shirley, the owner, is very friendly and helpful. I'll go back any chance I get. Randy C.
LegendThis is a good campground divided into 2 loops. Many pull throughs. We had site #12 which was gigantic. All the sites are open to your neighbors. Small park with a few trails, small pond, and farm. The farm was great with chickens, sheep, donkey and horse. On our visit there were 3 day old lambs!! Can fish in small pond and rent peddle boats or kayaks but this pond is very small. This is a great place for 3/4 days. Went for dinner and to local bakery in nearby town of Douglas Georgia.

This state park is typical of Georgia state parks in that it is clean, mowed and well kept. Sites are situated so there is some privacy on your table side although fairly open. I do not think there are any sewer hookups and our site (32) has 30 amp. We are here Monday to Thursday and it is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back. We stayed here in a 35’ Montana fifth wheel.

This is a hunt camp so be sure to check the season before going. I went in late December and had the spot to myself. There was a little bit of trash but overall it was much cleaner than some other hunt camps I've stayed at. The site was clear with flat sandy ground. Perfect for pitching a tent and plenty of trees that would be good for hammocks. It rained all night so I didn't get any photos before packing up. All in all not a terribly awe inspiring place to camp but if you're needing to overnight in the area and there's not a hunt going on it should not disappoint. From US 1 take 177 east, look for the check station sign

Jack Hill State Park is a small campsite in Reidsville, Georgia. The state park features a lake, golf course, mini golf and splash pad. There are less than 35 campsites on the property and each campsite was well spaced out. The bathroom/shower house facilities were clean and seemed quite new. They had 1 washer and dryer on site on the backside of the bathrooms. While it would be great if they had another set of laundry machines, I understand as it is such a small park and there is laundry very close by. The Park featured only 1 or 2 trails that were really short. I wish they had more trails. The Park was within a few minutes of basic amenities like gas, groceries and a McDonalds. The nearest Walmart was 30 minutes away in Vidalia, GA and it featured restaurants and tons of stores nearby. The campsite was $35 per night and we had full hookups.
GuideAbout 8 miles north of Hazlehurst, GA, on a dirt road turn off just before the Altamaha River, this primitive site lies in solitude amongst the loblolly pines. Besides the people who were really loud camping near us, it was a wonderful space. No water or electric hook ups unless you go to the RV site. There are showers, sinks and bathrooms near the river which is only a short walk from the site. There is a boat ramp there and tubing/floating down the river was a popular activity. Bugs weren't too bad thankfully!!
TravelerMy daughter and I stayed the weekend here in Dec, 2017. It was a nice and peaceful getaway. Nothing really to do but hiking and hanging around the campground. The hosts were great and very attentive to our needs. It was cold at night and they made sure we had enough firewood. The bathrooms were heated and clean. Nice place if you just needed to get away for a few days.
GuideNice campground right next to the best catfish river out there
ScoutThis is a place where you bring your family and dogs! You can relax and enjoy the river and hunt during hunting season!! The host are great and the place is amazing and great for a get away with family! Come and camp and enjoy! 10-10 rating!!!
ScoutWell maintained rural park. Very quiet and sites are spacious. Park hosts and office people are wonderful!
GuideI have stayed here two different occasions. It is a great place!

We love this campground, quiet and secluded on the bank of the altamaha river, perfect for a quick weekend getaway
LegendIf you keep left instead of going towards the rv campground, there is a free primitive camping area that has multiple spots for camping. There was one other person camping while I stayed here. It is not a large area and privacy could be an issue if there were a lot of people camping. There was also water from a hose towards the back of the site. I stayed in early October and the weather was great. 75 as a high and upper 50’s at night. Bugs were not much of an issue either. We walked down to the river where the boat ramp is and there are also plenty of areas to explore and gather wood.
TravelerWe are local and we’re taking our new travel trailer on her maiden run to work out any bugs before our two journey.
Great quiet place. Golf course is “par”! Not much to do out in town and not many restaurants to keep out. There is a food lion just a couple of miles away.
Staff is very nice and helpful.
RangerSmall campground with some campsites that are Lakeside. Brand new bathhouse. Very nice golf course, driving range and store. Brand new office and ranger station. A pretty little campground. They do have a splash pad, mini golf course, and playgrounds for kids. There is a short nature trail. We like to go here once or twice a year when we don't have a long weekend and just want to get away for a couple days.
ScoutClean , well staffed , golf course is very nice 18 holes , not far from rt.# 16 ....campsites spacious / easy in & out !!
GuideWe stayed here in Site 20 at the end of April, first of May 2016 . This is a nice clean park, located right in the City of Reidsville.
The campground is really small, and the spots are really close together.
The bathhouse was clean, and there was plenty of hot water, but it could stand to be updated.
There is a lake alongside part of the campground, and one short walking trail, but it you don't golf there isn't much to do here. It would have been a nice place to relax, but there were LOTS of kids running through the park all the time.
GuidePerhaps we were spoiled in our camping experience just prior to this in Magnolia Springs. Campsites here are close together and some of them unacceptably so! Sites four and five are literally next to each other, questionable if there was room to even put out our awning. Also sites 13 and 14 were the same way. We had planned to stay for a week but 13 was our assigned site and it was awful. We left. Young people in the office were gracious about a refund, however not apologetic. Perhaps they don’t realize what it is like when you are on the road and needing to be sure you have a spot for Thanksgiving weekend. Fortunately, we have found ourselves in a wonderful little private park about an hour from there. Guess it was meant to be. Restrooms were very nice and clean.
TravelerSpaces were tight. They do have construction happen ing in the campground but weren't doing any work when we stayed thanks to covid19. Park has a couple small hikes and a big lake with gators swimming around. They had a few working swings that made sitting by the lake enjoyable for watching the swimming gators. We saw a couple of them during our stay along with other fun wildlife. We did enjoy our stay however had the campground been full we might have had a different opinion.
ScoutMrs Shirley was the best. Stayed about 9 months while working. One of my favorites.
ScoutOur family visits this place at least 2 times a year. It beautiful with great sites and many activities that include the pond/lake, archery that the kids and I like. Many trails for hiking or biking.
