  Indian Springs State Park Campground

  More than expected...unfortunate noise pollution

  This is a little gem of a state park. Indian Springs State park has a lot to offer. The camp sites are the other side of the lake from the group and public shelters/picnic areas etc so you feel away from everything. The park offers a museum, trails, kayak rentals and more. 

  The multi-purpose hike connects to the Dauset Nature Center trails and is worth taking the extra mile or so, at least, to go visit the nature center. The hike is rated as quite hard on All Trails and similar apps but, in reality, is fine for most levels. I am recovering from a back injury and this was my first 5+ mile hike in years. It was more than manageable. 

  One downside of the parks location is that you are close to Jackson and neighboring towns. There were some noises (e.g. loud cars) that could be heard from our site at night. It wasn't constant or overly intrusive. The main complaint was that other humans in the park seemed to not have consideration for their camping neighbors and enjoyed driving golf carts around while playing music at full volume. That can happen anywhere though and maybe shouldn't be a 'negative' for the park. 

  The park is well kept, comfort stations are fine and staff very friendly and helpful.

  Georgia Veterans State Park Campground

  No waterfront… no problem

  We really enjoyed our stay at Georgia Veterans Memorial SP. we stayed in site 72 on Camping area #3. It faced the woods with a walking path. It was very private with the exception of the occasional hiker. So it was very nice to feel so secluded.

  Nice place to get away

  We really enjoyed staying at High Falls. Most of the RV sites were spaced well apart and the amenities were clean.

  Fair Harbor RV Park

  close to Rigby's and the aviation museum

  Stayed here mostly to visit Rigby's and the aviation museum.  My girlfriend loved the horses - different ones are coming and going frequently.  My 6 year old had a great time with the other kids and pond and playground.  Great facilities and staff.

  Water views are the best !

  Spot #30 has a Water view and is less expensive than a site on the water. So if you bring a boat you can pull it up on shore by your site. Very nice camp ground, park, marina, golf and military museum. #30 is a long pull thru site with water and electric. Well worth the visit.

  Crossroads Travel Park

  Perfect pull off spot

  We had pull thru site with full hookups. Everything worked and site was level. We made reservations and arrived after staff was gone. There was a detailed map and directions to get to our site. Worked great as a stopover to our final destination.

  Lake Sinclair Campground

  Good Location for Ocmulgee Mounds Visit

  Lake Sinclair, GA: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

  Summary: I have stopped by to camp for 4 years. This time we stayed in the electric, Loop A which has 5 sites. There were other users there who were concerning. One was what looks to be a homeless extended stay occupant in a trailer. The other was a tent camping couple who decided to camp with their tents in the RV only area. That said, the lower loops, Loop A and Loop D are more visible to the camp host, thus a safer feeling. If you don’t want electric hookup, those loops are a nicer area of the campground.

  (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer with a desire for a campsite that has at least some visual privacy - after the trailer is in the spot.)

  Overall Rating: 1.5 for the electric sites - they are not necessarily attractive, out in the open, and no visual separation between sites. They are moderately spaced. The non-electric sites(no generators allowed as per website) area 4 rating. There are spacious and well spaced sites in the Loop B. Many sites are set back from the campground loop road.
  Price 2023: $ 10.5 for elect site & 4.5 for non-electric site w interagency pass Usage during visit: Very light - Thanksgiving Site Privacy: More privacy in non electric sites Site Spacing: 5 decent sized sites in the electric loop. Non- electric loop has very large sites.
  Site surface: Gravel Reservations: First come, first serve.
  Campground Noise: Very quiet. Only one other camper Road Noise: Too far from a main road to be an issue. From electric sites and from some non electric sites the traffic in the access road can be heard.
  Through Traffic in campground: Not through campground. There is on the access road to access the lake. Boaters use this road along with other day users. Electric Hookup: Loop A, sites 1 - 5 only Sewer Hookup: No Dump Station: Yes, just following the check in station on the right. Potable Water Available: At electric sites. Generators: Not allowed. This is a shame since this campground is so lightly used. Bathroom/ Shower House: Yes - In Loop B (services both Loop A and B). Hot water worked only in the woman’s shower. The hot water in the shower in Loop D works fine and is in a little nicer facility. Drive to that one for a shower. These are pretty old buildings, but pretty clean. Bathroom only house in the day use area is new and nicer to be in. Pull Throughs: Site 5 is a pull through. Cell Service (AT&T): 1 to 2 bars. Setting: In a deciduous forest. Lower loop( non-electric) has a lakeside (or two)trailer sites . Weather: Cool and partial sun. Bugs: None Solar: Depends on the site and probably none when there is foliage. Host: Yes. Located in D-loop .
  Rig size: Not suited for big rigs.
  Sites: Loop A is the Electric loop with 5 sites. Loop A is not so great. There are beautiful extra large sites in non-electric/no generator lower Loop B. Loop C has been “temporarily”, as per signage, closed for at least 4 years. Loop D has smaller sites, many of which look to be tent sites. Some of these sites are nicely located close to the lakeside in both B and D.

  Georgia Veterans State Park Campground

  Very nice and worth and extended stay

  We stopped here on our way south to Florida out of curiosity.  Earlier in the year, we had been in Cordele to ride the SAM Railway which was based next to the park and had decided to stop on our way back through and check out the campground.  The GVSP is well maintained with alot of open space, lake access and a historical museum honoring Georgia Veterans.  The camping area is spacious with back in and pull through sites.  The roadways were narrow and paved with the sites being gravel and level in most cases.  Sites along the lakefront are a bit more expensive but the lake can be viewed from any site.  Shower houses are cleaned daily by camp hosts and are well maintained.  We were advised by another camper that sites fill up quickly on weekends but are usually available during the week.  We only spent 2 nights (on a whim) but will return for a longer stay in the future.  A great area for biking, fishing and boating.

  Quick Visit

  We just stopped in for a quick one night visit on our travel north. Check in was quick and easy. Sites are not large but adequate, cute playground and a double dump station available. There is very little cell phone service- AT&T has none.

  Got a last minute site next to the water. The peninsula we were on was tight turnaround for any big rig. Bathhouse was nice!

  Indian Springs State Park Campground

  Easy, Quiet campsite.

  We visited this campground April 23rd and stayed for 2 nights. Campground is very clean and peaceful. We dragged our feet on booking so ended up with limited sites to choose from. Site 49, still a great site just not as private as some of the sites on roundabouts.

  Site 49 has a slightly mild downhill walk about 30 yards to get to the edge of the water. Not really an area you would jump in and swim at though, stagnant water in the corner. We used it for setting up our hammocks and used it for the view of the lake.

  There is also a small old town right outside the campground with a small ice cream place / museum and old market with minimum things in a pinch.

  There was also another campsite within 10-15 minutes of Indian Springs and they had a trail you could walk along the waterfalls and river.

  Gun fire inside park

  Stayed several nights in RV site. Bath house had only one toilet due to the other being out of order. Bathroom was not clean. Person drive through the park firing a gun at 4 am and the police were called. Also appeared to be done "full time residents" with dog that barked all night.

  High Falls State Park Campground

  Beautiful

  The park is gorgeous and well maintained. It’s a little tight in a place or two but we’re pulling a 40’ fifth wheel and had no problems. We stayed in spot 71 which was a pull through with large lot that was really nice. Fire pit, picnic table and grill as well. I’m uploading a set of maps. You definitely need them as the sites are marked nicely but the areas are not and it’s very confusing. Also if you use maps on a device make sure you add campground because there are a few other places you don’t want to go pulling a rig since the campground is in a state park. Great for hiking, biking, fishing etc. Plain on zero internet or cell coverage. I’m all about the camping adventure but I like to be able to contact the kids if needed. Overall great place.

  Tilted campsite

  Good bathrooms , wonderful staff, kids enjoyed the playground. Site 56 is extremely tilted and very hard to level out. Also 57 and up is a lot of the same but I believe ours is the worst

  Full time traveling

  We stayed at High Falls and absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. The bathhouses and laundry is easily accessible. Hot showers. A nice sensory playground right across from site 24 and next to the bathhouse. Awesome trails, and beautiful scenery. Quiet. Will definitely go back.

  Beautiful views - FREE LAUNDRY

  We camped here on the way to Florida. We enjoyed all of the military history around the park. There is also a disc golf course my husband played. Best part for us full timers was the FREE laundry. 🤣

  Nice for one night stay

  It’s a decent park to stay for one night. You can feed some goats and there’s a playground that’s really old and a little dangerous. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

  High falls

  We stayed on the lake loop site 100. Sites are smaller on this loop and some on a grade. The dump station is across the road at the river camp loop. Lake loop sites are closer to falls and trail heads but the river camp sites are nicer IMO. Went to a local restaurant called Yahola Creek. It was amazing. Food and ambiance was excellent. Also went to local bbq place The Blind Pig which was excellent also. There is a dollar general store very close. Some good trails at the park.

  Quick but decent stay

  The entrance to the campground is a little odd and narrow. I have a 25 ft RV and I'm not sure how longer RVs are able to navigate getting into the campground. I stayed here for one night in early April at River Camping Area site# 48. We got here late at night so we didn't have time to explore the campground much since it was raining hard the next day. Some of the sites around me had standing water because of the hard rain. We took a short walk before it started raining and the campground seemed pleasant overall.

  Nice campground

  High Falls is a great campground. They have 2 sections. One by water is where we were. Nice pull thru site with shade. We were site 82, and has gravel. We rode our bikes to the other side, to see the falls. Very beautiful. Serene listening to it. Restrooms clean and park well maintained. B

  River Side Campground

  We found this campground on the road from MN to FL and overall enjoyed the one night.  We bought wood at a small local store on the road going into site as they were closed by the time we rolled in.  there's a gate code they called us with and that was easy - we camped on the river side and did not explore the other side.  Our site was along the river on the map, but in reality you don't really see the river much due to vegetation.  There was a lot of poison ivy along the edges of our site too.  We have a 21' camper van so it was plenty big for us and easy to get into.  The bathrooms were about a 5-6 minute walk up a slight hill, past a playground being put together.  The shower was nice, although there was only 1 in working order when we were there.  We did not explore very much except to drive to the falls on our way out the next morning - we were putting a lot of miles on each day, and I think this would be a great place to try again.  We did not have phone/internet service (Verizon), which was ok for one night.

  Very Nice Park on the river side

  2nd trip to High Falls on river side. This side is accessed via gate code 24/7. 

  Site 5 is one of the 1st few on the left as you enter the camping area. So you do get a fair amount of traffic, but it's not bothersome and we enjoy people watching.  The bath house is across the street and up a hill so keep that in mind if you have some mobility issues, though it's not a crazy bad hill. 

  The site has a good distance between the camper and it's "passenger" side so it's like not having a neighbor on that side. The river isn't visible from the site, but it's a couple hundred feet through the woods via a path.  Entire site was very level and didn't take much to level the trailer. Very well shaded.

  Cell phone internet is slim if at all even on Verizon. T-Mobile had trouble getting texts from this area.

  Campground is well kept.  They were beginning to assemble new playground equipment back in April of '22.

  Dollar General is right outside the gate.

  State park offers boat, kayak, and paddle board rentals at the lake side.

  Note about the lake side sites: They are all at right angle drives with a small drainage ditch flanking the driveway. Plus are short sites.  I would imagine it would be very tough to get my short 22' trailer in there. We drover over and I was glad we didn't stay on that side.

  High Falls State Park Campground

  Beautiful scenery

  This park is very nice. Lots of hills, which were not used to. Our site was close to a really clean bathhouse. Our site was a pull thru, which is always nice! Site had really nice space. We did lose power for 15 hours and water for a few hours one night. Then two days later, we lost power again for three hours. Not ideal when it’s pushing 95°. We can now say we’ve boondocked. The big falls trail was closed for renovation so we couldn’t walk out on it. We were able to see it from another trail.

  Very nice park! Lots to do within walking distance. Short trails to view the Falls and lots of history in the area. Pool was not open during our visit. Nice shower houses and felt very safe with locking gate entrance with code.

  Lots to do!

  Even though it a little out of the way, it’s close to Atlanta, adorable small town with cute things to do! We rented kayaks and rode bikes all weekend! The cabins were updated and very cute perfect for a weekend away.
