Best Tent Camping near Centerville, GA

262 Reviews

Tent camping options near Centerville, Georgia include a mix of established campgrounds and dispersed sites across public lands. The Hollow at Triple Threat Farm offers an off-grid tent camping experience, while Ocmulgee River Camp provides primitive tent sites in a more remote setting. Tyler Hunt Camp represents another dispersed option for tent campers seeking solitude in the Georgia countryside.

Most tent camping areas around Centerville have minimal facilities with variable road access. Ocmulgee River Camp features gravel road access described as "a little bumpy but manageable" in camper reviews, requiring some preparation when visiting with loaded vehicles. Fire pits are available at select locations, but many sites lack drinking water, restrooms, or trash service. Several tent camping areas operate on a pack-in, pack-out basis. Pecan Orchard Estate Campground provides drinking water and trash service but lacks toilet facilities, making it important for tent campers to bring appropriate supplies.

The tent-only experience around Centerville varies by location and season. Ocmulgee River Camp offers spacious, flat areas for pitching tents with multiple fire pits. A camper noted that it was "very quiet this time of the year (January)" with "train horn in the distance and gunshots in the distance as well from hunters." Wildlife sightings are common, with reviews mentioning deer observations on nearby trails. Tyler Hunt Camp provides secluded tent sites but experiences variable traffic after dark, according to visitor reports. The Pecan Orchard Estate Campground features a natural setting with "lots of wildlife and tons of singing birds" amid pecan trees, creating a distinctive tent camping environment.

    Ocmulgee WMA Primitive Camping

    Needs fishing license ,hunting license or land pass

    Free to camp for 14 days. Designated campground with no hook ups. Fire rings only. Trash must pack in and pack out. Down the road some is a fishing peir with 24 hour access and bathrooms. No showers and water is not potable at this time but usually is. Kid lake if you find someone who works for the WMA they will teach kids to bass fish for free. Large mouth bass here are catch and release only. We have seen a ton of gators, rabbits, birds, deer and hogs. Grass is high at campground and can only camp on that one side of the road.

    High Falls State Park Campground

    Falls

    Went to High Falls State Park in January. site number 27. We stayed 8 nights There are two campgrounds- lakeside and River camping area. Lakeside is by High falls Lake and is closest to the falls. River camping is across the street we stayed in River camping area. Nice sites but open to neighbors. Sites included table, fire ring, lantern hook. Some sites are 30 amp some 50 amp and had some pull through sites. After the weekend we were one of only a few in the campground in January. Weather may change this time of year we had a lot of rain one day and freezing temperatures overnight but mostly it was good camping weather. Camp hosts were awesome!!! This park is not far off i-75. Dollar general was a few miles other than that not much around. Very easy hiking trail to waterfalls and several trails along Towaliga River, ruins of an old Mill. There is no swimming in falls or river. Afterr rain falls were flowing very fast. This park also has a swimming pool, mini golf, yurts, boat rentals all were closed in January. Bathhouses were well maintained and had laundry facilities. Phone and TV reception we're good at this park. 8 days was too much here I would recommend 4 to 5 days or as a stopover point but would definitely return here.

    Georgia Veterans State Park Campground

    Keep it moving

    Georgia Veterans State Park sits next to Lake Blackshear and shares the lake front with a resort. There is a marina , condos and a golf course on resort side. On the Park side there is the much more desirable campground:) 

    There are plenty of options to choose from in the three camping “loops”. Some lakeside sites have direct access to the water and in camping area 1 you can get pretty close to the fishing pier. A lot of the sites are pull through , in area 3 all sites are pull through and several of the sites border one of the Nature trails. The primitive walk in tent sites are in area 3. There are two handicap accessible sites and two double sites for group camping(the other sites are close together so this just puts you on the same “pad”)There is shade but definitely more on some sites then others. Not a lot of privacy. It wasn’t real busy or noisy so the open layout wasn’t a major hang up for me. This is definitely more of a “organized”, well maintained, military feel campground. I didn’t get the State Park in the woods vibe at all :) 

    There are rental Cottages which overlook the water some with screen porches. There is a fishing pier behind Cottage one and two.

    In addition there are boocoo recreation activities: 

    Disc golf (a little over grown)

    Pioneer Group campsite

    Aviation and Combat Arms equipment 

    A museum 

    Model airplane field

    Outdoor exercise equipment along with an exercise trail

    Nature trails

    Archery range

    Fishing piers

    Large boat ramp

    Small boat ramp

    Excursion Train

    A beach with facilities and shaded picnic area

    We only took the time to camp and hike but you could easily spend some time here and do something different every day. I’m unfamiliar with the area and wildlife so I kept the boys on short leashes when we walked in the woods , especially near the water. The trails were nice, somewhat maintained and there was old signage plus benches. Not my favorite this trip but nice enough.

    Claystone Park Campground

    First Time Camping and It Set the Bar

    Claystone Park was our first ever experience tent camping. Everything was great from the location of the bathroom and shower house, to ample space, and spectacular views. Quiet hours were respectfully observed, and all the amenities provided within our campsite were more than enough. Clean clean clean

    High Falls State Park Campground

    Nice campground for a weekend getaway!

    We stayed in the River Camping Area - Loop D. The campground felt secluded and the sites were spacious. We enjoyed hiking Falls Trail with our two dogs and checking out some of the nearby cities - Jackson & Forsyth.

    A few things to note: the internet is VERY spotty and the sites are not level. The entrance is very dark at night and the road is narrow and windy, so try to arrive before dark if you can.

    High Falls State Park Campground

    Good pit stop with trails

    Spent one night on the road here at a RV site on the lakeside camping area (they also offer additional entrance to river side camping.) Busy but courteous neighbors. Playground, mini golf, swimming pool (closed), and pretty clean toilets. Keep that trash far—ants love it here! Nice falls trail hike in the afternoon. Well-marked trails with some fun off shoot paths. Ordered Papa Johns right to the campsite entrance!

    High Falls State Park Campground

    Needs some work

    High falls SP, GA

    Stopped here on an overnight enroute south in September . Weekday and very sparsely occupied, so it was very quiet.

    After seeing both campgrounds I wish I had stayed at the upper one near the lake and dam.

    The lower campground has a coded gate and was in a separate area across the street and down the road. You can hike to the lake/dam area by way of Tranquility Trail (2.5 miles).

    There are basically three areas, (two loops and a circle)with two latrines. The latrine in the circle area had a washer and dryer. I did not go in the other one.

    Several of the sites picnic tables and fire rings sat close together so if you don’t know your “neighbors” you will get to know them.

    The other sites were good size and you have some privacy. There are big grassy area in each loop and it’s all shaded.

    My site was near the river but it’s a somewhat treacherous trail down to water level. The water looked like chocolate milk and was not very inviting. I would guess there had been recent flooding and high water areas. Fishing would have been easy enough.

    The staff was ..... interesting. One of the woman at the check in openly voiced her opinion about a much nicer camping area at another location. Then there was the kamikaze guy on the “golf cart” speeding crazily through the campground. I realize they don’t have speedometers, however he was going faster then 15 mph.

    Sprewell Bluff Park

    Small campground but pretty

    Sprewell Bluff Park is about 50 miles south of Atlanta on the Flint River. The campground is small, tent & RV sites starting at $35/night with 30/50 amp electric, water, fire ring, and picnic tables. Most are back in. There is a showroom/bathroom. There are also cabins. The trading post has a variety of camping items and souvenirs. This is primarily a a fisherman’s Park. There is some canoeing and hiking, and a new playground. A boat ramp was added recently. It is somewhat difficult to get here.

    Southern Trails RV Resort

    Overnight spot

    This campground is ok for an overnight stay. There is annuals and seasonal all through the campground. We were in a section behind the office. Set up  was on grass. you picked your own spot. Was level and power was fine ( we use 30 amp ) Some areas have shade and some are in the open. Keep in mine this is Georgia so check for red any's. A couple spots we decided not to take as the ants were right next to water/ electric hookups. You can see they try and keep the any population down, but if you lived in the south you know that's an everyday chore. 

    Had a beautiful sunrise as it is next door to a horse ranch of sorts.

    We used their laundry and it was fine. $2 a machine. 

    Our ATT hot spot nomad internet was strong

    Cell phone signal was 4 bars ( T-Mobile )

    Road noise sleep able from I75 nearby.

    Easy on off to this campground
