Cabin rentals near Brinson, Georgia provide access to Lake Seminole and surrounding forests. The area maintains moderate temperatures through much of spring and fall, with summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F from June through September. Most rental properties cluster around the lake shoreline with several inland options available within a 30-minute drive of the town center.
What to do
Kayaking and canoeing: Lake Seminole offers calm waters ideal for paddling. At Seminole State Park Campground, "you are able to rent both canoes and kayaks" according to reviewer Lisa D. The lake provides multiple access points for launching personal watercraft.
Fishing opportunities: The waterways around Brinson support varied fishing. "Great campground with good fishing" notes Tom W. about Seminole State Park. Fish cleaning stations are available at several properties including Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp, where one visitor caught "some huge brim, they were delicious."
Historical exploration: The region contains significant historical sites. Kolomoki Mounds State Park features Native American mounds and a museum. One visitor described it as "an important sacred site" recommending "visiting the mounds at sunrise." The park includes "a replica of a hut/dwelling like the ones that the previous Native Americans would have inhabited."
What campers like
Waterfront locations: Many cabin rentals offer direct water access. At Torreya State Park, visitors appreciate the "130 ft bluffs and great view of the Apalachicola River." The elevated terrain creates distinct perspectives uncommon in much of Florida.
Quiet setting: Multiple reviewers note the peaceful environment. Jessica O. described Seminole State Park as having "plenty of space between sites" and being "quiet and peaceful." Another visitor mentioned the "beautiful and quiet shady sites" available at several locations.
Improved facilities: Recent renovations have enhanced several properties. Seminole State Park received updates after Hurricane Michael with "new gravel pads and plenty of space between sites." At Cross Creek Campground, which opened in December 2023, visitors note "nice laundry facilities" and "a 2 mile hiking path" with "a small pond."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Summer brings intense heat and insects. Daniel B. warned about Seminole State Park: "there were a lot of gnats, so bring bug repellent or screened tents." Spring and fall offer more moderate temperatures.
Limited dining options: The Brinson area has few restaurants. For supplies, most cabins require a drive to larger towns. One visitor recommended Log Cabin Restaurant in nearby Blakely for southern cooking.
Reservation requirements: Cabins book quickly during peak seasons. Florida Caverns RV Resort often fills in advance, particularly waterfront units. One visitor advised: "There is a boat ramp and docks/slips, but the lake was almost empty - no fault of the campground."
Access challenges: Some properties have difficult approaches. One reviewer noted Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp required navigating "down a steep rutted driveway, onto a grassy lot" making it challenging for larger vehicles.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several cabin areas include play equipment. Seminole State Park features "a playground close to the camping loop" that one visitor described as "nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles."
Swimming areas: Designated swimming zones provide safer water recreation. Kolomoki Mounds State Park includes "a small swimming beach" connected to the campground by "a trail through the woods to walk or ride bikes to it."
Educational opportunities: Several parks offer learning activities. Family Time Campground in Alabama provides nature programs and trails where families can identify "animal tracks to look for and identify!" according to one reviewer. The nearby Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge serves as a historical point of interest.
Meal planning: Some cabins offer limited cooking facilities. Family Time Campground provides Sunday pancake breakfasts for $4 per person, which families appreciate. One visitor noted the property includes "a fully-stocked kitchen you can access while on site."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose level sites when possible. At Cross Creek Campground, one RVer noted sites "had to lower the front end to level front to back. The pad had a bit of a drop off at the back so the owner had us park toward the front."
Utility connections: Water hookups vary by location. At Ed and Bernice's, an RVer found "the water spigot is 25 feet from the coach and the turn-on switch is an inch underground" requiring staff assistance to access.
Size restrictions: Not all cabins accommodate large RVs. Florida Caverns RV Resort has "some sites are paved some are not" with one visitor noting there is "no privacy between sites" and "electric capacity lacking."
