    Known as “Little Georgia”, Providence Canyon is a modern-day example of what happens when mankind attempts to change the land they live on. Thanks to years of poor agricultural practices, as well as erosion from the Coastal Plains, massive gullies as deep as 150 feet can be found all throughout the park. While this lack of foresight has irrevocably changed the land, it has also created some of the most beautiful photo opportunities in the State.

    As a result of the geographic changes, the canyon’s soil proudly showcase its scars, colored in vibrant hues of pink, orange, red, yellow, and purple. This makes the area a prime destination spot for Photographers and scenic enthusiasts. Moreover, the area is home to the Plumleaf Azalea, a rare type of wildflower that blooms in late July/early August, when most other Azaleas have already started to wain in vibrance.

    When it comes to recreation, there’s a wide range of outdoor activities to partake in. Thanks to the local geography, Providence Canyon is perfect for hiking, fishing, mountain biking, climbing, and so much more. One of the more interesting activities to consider is the Canyon Climber Club. This club challenges participants to brave three local features that showcase extreme outdoor adventure. Brave the depths of the Canyon, overcome the staircase of Cloudland Canyon, and trek across the swinging bridge of Tallulah Gorge. Those who complete all three challenges win extreme bragging rights, plus a sweet certificate to show off.

    Camping here is difficult, simply because there aren't many sites available. There are 3 pioneer-style campsites with regular amenities, and 6 backcountry campsites which require you to be okay with a little less comfort. While there is a visitors center, a concession stand, and restrooms available, not every campsite is close by. Therefore, it’s important to be sure you plan your trip in advance to meet your needs and circumstances. Pioneer campsites (close to bathrooms and the visitor center) range from $40-$80 a night, while the backcountry options start at just $10/night.

    White Oak Pastures is a real, live working farm. This means that depending on which accommodation you choose, you may be driving on a dirt road to get there. You may wake up to cattle, sheep and goats, hogs, or poultry roaming just outside of your door. And although we do our best to make our accommodations free of any uninvited guests, you may also occasionally encounter bugs (who are trying to enjoy life in the countryside, just like you). You can dine and shop in downtown Bluffton. Our General Store offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you can stock up on everything from bug spray to snacks for the road. Read more about what to expect during your stay. Most of our cabins do not have TV or Wi-Fi. We find most of our guests actually enjoy this change of pace as a “digital detox” from busy everyday life. We hope you will disconnect from your devices and connect with nature. Don’t worry: if you do need it, free Wi-Fi is available at our General Store. Our on-farm accommodations are certainly pet friendly! We do ask that dogs are kept on leashes while out exploring the farm because we do have guard dogs that roam and protect our herds and flocks from sharp tooth predators. There are a couple of places on the walking tour such as the processing abattoirs that we cannot allow pets. There’s plenty to do in South Georgia. You can stay busy with a tour of our farm, local hikes, and visits to other local tourist attractionsv. We provide custom maps and are happy to make recommendations for local attractions when you plan your visit.

    Gorgeous spot to stay

    Great communication with staff. Location is right off the highway but the camp grounds are deep in the state park so it’s so quiet and beautiful. The marina is home too so many boats and fishermen but that’s about 3 miles from the camp spot. Love it!

    Blue Springs in July '

    We camped here recently as a large family group. While our camping space could barely be called that, the park was quite nice. It was clean and well maintained, the bath house was clean, and there was lots of room for the grandkids to play and ride bikes. The springs area was shady, and the springs themselves were awesome (if you can stand the verrry cold water). The customer service was great.

    As long as we been coming has it been this bad. Grass is over ankles. Roads has holes everywhere. Bathhouse needs so much updates. Shower stall are not clean very well.  We asked if someone could come and dig little trench so water could run off. Hasn’t seen anyone yet. Very disappointed with this vacation here this time

Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!

    Nice, very quiet, heavily wooded CG

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 27 for 2 days in late April. The CG itself is clean, well maintained, but some of the facilities are showing their age and are in need of repair. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The site pads themselves are concrete and most looked to be pretty level. Most of the sites were fairly well spaced. The CG, at least during the week, was very quiet and peaceful. There were only about a dozen campers while we were there.   Other reviews mentioned ant issues, but we did not encounter any issues.

    AT&T coverage was weak, with 1 bar of LTE service w/o a booster and speeds up to 0.5 MB/s and 2 bars of 5G service and speeds up to 0.7 MB/s with a booster. The CG heavily wooded, so we had no line-of-site to the DISH satellites, but did have a partial view to the NE from the front of the site, so Starlink was somewhat usable, with a quite a few dropouts, but speeds up to 6 MB/s.

    Swimming area

    The campground for the most part is beautiful period there are a few pull through camp sites that can be difficult with a long trailer. It seems to be quite a few small bugs around here. But I haven't got bitten yet so I didn't think they are the biting kind. The only major complaint I would have is that restrooms aren't kept very clean.

    We needed a one night stop & this was perfect. Made our reservations online the day before. Host called me the next morning to confirm arrival time. Hosts were very kind, and escorted us to our site. Site was big, level, and pull through with full hookups. Long term rigs were kept pretty clean as I could tell. We didn’t use any facilities so have no comment on those.

    Our second stay here. First was in the spring of 2020 when COVID had everything shutdown. Spent Monday through Friday and enjoyed our stay with some friends. Lots of old 1800 to early 1900’s homes to see, some offer tours. Providence Canyon and the Kolomoki Mounds State Parks in Georgia are an easy drive and worth the trip. Sites are easy to navigate, utilities are in good shape, and enough Verizon signal to stay in touch.

    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.

    Fantastic overnight stop

    I give this park a 5 star because it's easy, quiet, not crowded and the owners are here and hands on. We called ahead and the owner just said pull in a pick the spot you like then you can pay with a cc or cash. The end spots are $35 plus tax a night, the other sites are $40 with a patio and outdoor wrought iron tables and chairs. Sites are very big and there was lots of space. We took the dogs for a walk down along the creek, through some nice woods and a meadow, it was a nice walk. They even have a catch and release pond. Laundromat and private bathrooms were very clean too. Its also a mile off the hwy so it's so quiet. We will make this our go to traveling through ozark/Dothan Alabama

    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.

    Good for an experienced tent camper.

    We stayed here in early July for two nights. We had a thunderstorm early evening the first night making the picnic table shelter welcome.

    It is a little muddy in places, and when it rains, it is a bit difficult to drive out due to mud. You do need a vehicle that sits a little higher than just a standard car.

    Also, I recommend not using the privy. We took our own clean waste camping toilet for our stay.

    TMobile cell service is very poor so don't rely on it for emergencies. We took our satellite communicator just in case.

    Overall, we had a good stay. But you do need to be a experienced tent camper.

    Great place to overnight

    New park only been open a few months. Level lots 3/4 mile off the hwy so its very quiet. Full hook up 50,30 and 20 amp. Saw a turkey gobbler in the driveway when I pulled in. Owner says there are about 40 in the area and a few deer. Horse barn is under construction but he did have available pastures.. catch and release fishpond with a nice dock..most sites are 75 ft pull through gravel and grass. I stayed in site 24 but there was lots of availability. Half the park was available , he's just opened. Bathrooms and laundry are still under construction. There were a few travel nurses staying here but everyone else met was passing through. I stayed longer than planned because it wasn't expensive and very quiet. Stores and post office are 3 miles away. Its really a big farm with a persimmon orchard but I missed harvest season. Persimmons are ripe October-December. Owner has 230 Japanese persimmon trees. I'd like to return at harvest time.

    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.
