    Florida Caverns RV Resort

    Awful

    We called ahead to reserve tent sites and ensure they had electric and water on every site. Upon arrival, we were told all sites to the right edge (water side) and right of the road were tent sites. However, the first half of this row has electric for rv’s only. Moving down the row, the sites had no electric or water hookups. The last sites were in complete sun and next to a boat ramp. All the sites had trash on the ground and none had picnic tables. The showers were just curtained off from the bathroom with no privacy, hook or bench. The staff was unwilling to help and we left without staying.

    Three Rivers State Park Campground

    A Great Florida State Park

    Small, well maintained park and sites, with 30/50 amp and water hook ups. A pleasant surprise when we arrived, after miles of rural driving! GPS took us the correct way, but seemed we were lost! Staff greeted us at entrance, gave us a map and explained how to get to our site. It was raining, and our site was back-in and downhill, mostly level with gravel, a picnic table, has a fire-ring with grill grate. Bathhouse is clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers. The dock/pier, and boat ramp, are at the back part of the campground, The amenities are nice and there is outdoor cleaning sink behind the bathhouse, sitting area overlooking the river, the fish cleaning station, fire pit area, trails, and canoe/kayak drying area. 3 concrete sites, as well as tent sites. Lots of spacing between most of the sites, some are waterfront. Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all! We will come back! And it’s only $20 a night!

    Torreya State Park Campground

    Well maintained and beautifully located.

    Awesome campground with good amenities. Each site has fire ring, picnic table, water and electric. Most sites had good flora between sites, offering a little privacy. Restroom and shower facilities with a coin operated laundry.

    Ranger Rob shared a secret, two campsites cannot be reserved and are always available first come first served. I got to spend two nights in one of those and it was great.

    I found the hiking trails to be quite strenuous and not well-maintained in spots, but that's part of the adventure. I even took a tumble down a steep hill but made it to the primitive camp sites just to see them and get down to the river.

    Quiet, Clean and Quit Beautiful

    I arrived after lunchtime and set up my tent. There were two tent spaces all the way at the other end from the RVs on the water. They were large had picnic table, grills and fire rings. The bathrooms were a nice little walk and the water and the showers were hot. Nice place to break in my new tent. Oh I took her through a heck of a wind and rain storm. On my found it said the winds were over 60 miles an hour. But my Core tent held up fine.

    Friendly COE campground

    This is a great COE campground on Florida Georgia border. Everyone here was so friendly. Sites are large but very open. Three camping loops. We stayed in C 17. Great site all have fire rings, picnic table, lantern pole, charcoal grill, and prep table. Sites are paved or gravel. Several pull through sites. Great for larger rigs. Loops A & C have waterfront sites. Loop B is inner part of campground. Bathhouses have separate showers from restroom area. Campground is right on lake Seminole. Great fishing, boating, and kayaking. Went in February it was cold and very windy coming off lake. Not much to do in area but great for long weekend stay. Ate at local restaurant called Rutabaga cafe which was great. You are right on the time zone switch so your phone will switch from eastern to central several times. There are amenities close by such as grocery, liquor store, Dollar general. Jim Woodruff Dam is across the lake. It was closed to visitors but we drove to the overlook which was cool. Will definitely come back for another stay.

    Sugar Mill Plantation RV Park

    Basic, decent for overnight

    This is a review of Sugar Mill RV Park in Ochlocknee, GA which is in south Georgia off US Hwy 19 near the Florida state line. Other reviews seem to be for a north Georgia park which is not this one.

    There is no tent camping at this park. 

    Overnight stay in a 38' class A. Selected site 26, no online reservations, sites assigned at arrival. Very flexible on checkout time. Site was dirt/grass, FHU, 50 amp, relatively level. Hookups we're in acceptable shape, office staff(Nancy?) was very nice. Our site had some trash and charcoal left by prior guest(looks like they tried to burn) which we cleaned up. Grounds are fairly well kept. Lots of longer term/perm residents. We couldn't pick up campground wifi nor was there cable. Road noise from US 19 as expected since park borders the highway but not too bad overnight. Bugs as expected in south Georgia in May. Fairly basic campground(they do have laundry, bathrooms, showers none of which we used) but priced right. We paid $30 for a night which included the Good Sam discount. Would stay again for overnight

    Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park

    Very peaceful place with great people!

    Nice pavilions with a picnic table and new fire rings. We had a flat spot and not needing to bust out the levelers is always a treat! The staff here is so kind and helpful. The others here have great knowledge about the area and we got some tips on what kinds of fish to catch...if you are into that sort of thing! If not, it is a great relaxing place to watch the river float past. Great cell signal and friendly four legged friends came to great us and our pups. Definitely stop here! Fantastic find!

    Great "RV sites" which are all about the lake

    These sites are really for RVs of every size and are truly all about the lake. Either for fishing or for a nice relaxing evening enjoying the sunsets. There are 3 loops with both restroom/shower/laundry facilities on the B loop and for some reason, it seemed that everyone really wanted to drive from the other loops to the facilities in the back which had knobs for the showers instead of short timed buttons. There are unfortunately only 2 dedicated tent sites which are off to the side a nice distance from the RV loops, but it's right by the boat ramp which also has a nice bright streetlamp so be prepared for people coming and going early and/or arriving late in the evening along with the ever present light. We camping in our tent at site 59 which is one of the few sites which has a nice stretch of open grass and tree coverage along with the either leveled concrete pad or gravel "driveway" surfaces at the sites. Each site had a nice grill, fire ring, picnic table, prep table and lantern/bag hook. We thankfully had the trees to partially obscure the streetlamp, but thankfully had brought eyemasks... If you're afraid of animals sneaking up on your tent at night, then this campground is definitely for you, as with all the extremely bright lights on all night long you won't have to worry about anything bothering you in the slightest... Overall, the camp host and the staff were incredibly nice and went out of their way to make sure we were in a nice spot for using our tent. Although there are some better sites on loops A and C because they are right on the water people tend to book those out for weekends way in advance.

    High Bluff Campground — Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

    Nice site

    No complaints about this site; plenty of campsites to pick from even with about 6 other campers; space to spread out from others. Good for primitive tent camping. Had a fire pit with grill and picnic table. Right on the lake with pier access and boat ramp- pretty cool spot. Only lost a star because of previous campers leaving some trash behind.


Guide to Brinson

Tent campsites near Brinson, Georgia are primarily clustered along the Florida-Georgia border, with most options located within an hour's drive. The region features a mix of primitive sites and established campgrounds situated near rivers and lakes. Summer temperatures typically reach 90°F with high humidity, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons for most visitors.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Goat House Farm provides access to fishing spots where campers can try their luck at catching local species. One visitor noted, "We had such a fun time camping at the goat farm. Where you literally camp with goats. The male goats hang out right beside you and your tents."

Water activities: Fort Braden Tract Primitive Campsites offers water access for various activities. A camper shared, "Thickly treed so hanging hammocks and bear lines was no problem. Fabulous spot for fishing and camping." The sites are approximately one mile from parking areas.

Animal encounters: The unique camping experience at Goat House Farm lets visitors interact with farm animals. As one reviewer explained, "The owner of the farm was so welcoming and accommodating. She even gave us a tour of the farm in the morning and we were able to play with a ton of goats and chickens!"

What campers like

Quiet atmosphere: Several tent campsites near Brinson, Georgia provide peaceful settings away from crowded areas. A visitor to Neals Landing Park described it as "quit, clean, remote, great fishing, picnic tables, close to Marianna Florida, and Donalsonville, Ga.. relaxing."

Wildlife viewing: Hall Landing Campground offers opportunities to observe local wildlife from established camping areas. The campground provides basic amenities with "lots of tree cover" according to one camper, making it suitable for nature observation.

Affordable rates: Tent camping options in the region are generally budget-friendly. One Hall Landing visitor noted, "With tax it came to about $11/night, good deal!" This affordability makes the area accessible for weekend trips or longer stays.

What you should know

Water quality concerns: Several campgrounds near Brinson have reported water issues. One Hall Landing camper stated, "Water spigots at each site, but we filled up our jug with it and dumped it back out, water had a brownish tinge."

Limited privacy: Many campsites in the region offer minimal separation from trails or other campers. A Fort Braden Tract visitor warned, "The camp sites are about 30 feet off the trail. So there is virtually no privacy. Makes… let's use the euphemism '#2'… a bit challenging."

Navigation challenges: Finding some camping areas requires careful planning. One Fort Braden visitor shared their experience: "It took us an extra try to find this location - first our directions lead us to the Lines Tract - great for biking and bike camping - but not so much for hiking and camping. Make sure you review your directions because there is not much of a signal out there."

Tips for camping with families

Animal-focused camping: Goat House Farm provides a unique camping experience for families with children. A family reported, "The kids absolutely loved it. They cried when it was time to leave and told all the animals bye. The staff is so friendly and helpful."

Wildlife awareness: Educate children about local wildlife before camping. A Fort Braden camper mentioned, "Even got a visit from your friendly neighborhood alligator in the middle of the night, which when I realized after the fact what the sound was was terrifying."

Reservation planning: Many group campsites in the area require advance booking. The Line Group Camp and Bear Creek Group Camp both accommodate larger family groups with toilet facilities, though reservations are essential during peak seasons.

Tips from RVers

Tent-focused facilities: Most campgrounds near Brinson cater primarily to tent campers rather than RVs. However, some sites can accommodate smaller rigs. One Hall Landing visitor shared, "This campground is for tents only, however, due to a mix up with our reservation at Walker Landing, they moved us to this campground even though we are in an RV. Most sites are big and level enough for an RV so it may be worth asking."

Dump station access: Hall Landing Campground does not have onsite dump facilities, but alternatives exist. A camper noted, "No power and no dump station, but the county operator said we were welcome to use the dump station at Coe Landing since we were Leon County Parks guests."

Cell service availability: Connectivity varies throughout the region. At Hall Landing, one visitor reported "Good cell service with Verizon and ATT," which allows RVers to stay connected while camping.
