Just okay
The previous reviews are outdated and so is the campground. It is so important to review every stay so we are all up to date. Bathrooms were small and dirty. Only one bathroom/shower combo for women and one for men. If someone is using the bathroom, you need to wait. This place is okay in a pinch, but that’s it.

TravelerPaulk Park RV Park and Campground
Great view and highly unique
Paulk Park is an RV park and campground situated next to a lake and sandwiched between a small municipal airport (with very little air traffic) and a city park. The tent sites aren't really sites, but more of a large field with no discernable separation between each site. The host's pre-trip messages are very detailed and easy to follow. They basically say to find a spot between the road and the lake and claim it, so I opted to stay farthest away from the shower house and my neighbor. When we arrived, there was one other tent camper and no RV's. The wind came in very strong and my distant neighbor packed up and left. On this warm February evening, I had the entire park to myself.
There are not many trees around and the terrain is quite flat so if the wind picks up, it can be very strong. I made sure to stake the tent well so this was not a problem. There were some people in the park on the other side of the lake and a reception was taking place in the event center which is in the same building as the showers and laundry, but once the party across the lake broke up, there wasn't much noise. That is, with the exception of the trains. I'm not sure if it is normal or there was something special going on with the train yard a short distance away, but the trains were blowing their horns every 10 minutes or less throughout the entire night and they are definitely loud enough to keep even a moderate sleeper awake. However, the train noise was really the only negative thing I found about this location. I would definitely come back...with a set of earplugs.

Stay 1 to 10 nights...quiet, friendly.
Address: 961 Power Dam Road Warwick, GA.
Stayed 2 nights, site #8, easy access Picnic table, water, fire rings. There were 3 other campers raved about the fishing, especially after the daily dam water release, but did not fish myself. The dam staff were super accommodating and visited to collect the $5 a night camp site fee. There are no bathrooms or showers in the campground. Some sites are on the water, some with shade some with sun ( for solar charging). It is located approximately 14 miles off of I-75, but easy drive. Get groceries beforehand. There are gas stations, convenience stores, and Dollar General within about 2 miles of the campground for essentials. Sites are a bit small, but not a problem since there were only a small number of other campers, however that could be different during peak times. Overall very satisfied, can't beat it for $5 a night.

Guide to Cordele

What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Blackshear provides excellent fishing spots at Georgia Veterans State Park Campground. "Great place to go for swimming, fishing, camping, or hiking!" notes camper Al M. The park offers both shore fishing and boat access.
Historic exploration: Visit military exhibits at Georgia Veterans State Park. "Open and when I mean open space, all over the Park. Great for fishing Boating, Swimming and they have a great little Museum for the Veterans.... Outside plenty of Military Tanks and Airplanes to see throughout the use in our Military," according to Frankie M.
Water recreation: Enjoy lake activities at Killebrew Park on the dam side of the river. "There is a boat ramp, shore fishing and a fishing pier all right here. They lock the gates at 10 so its only campers after that," mentions hilary G. The hydroelectric dam creates pleasant white noise for sleeping.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain excellent bathroom facilities. At Twin Oaks RV Park, "The showers were spotless. We will be visiting Twin Oaks again," reports Donna. Maintenance is a priority at well-managed sites.
Family amenities: Several campgrounds feature playgrounds and recreational facilities. "Our 1, 3 and 5 year Olds loved the playground. We were the only ones on it and it is in great shape," notes Greg S. about Twin Oaks RV Park. The park also includes a dog run and clean bathrooms.
Affordable options: Budget-conscious campers appreciate reasonable rates at smaller parks. At Killebrew Park, "You need to hit extension 3/damn operations/power plant or emergency assistance after 5pm. They will send someone down from the plant and its $5 out the door per night cash only," explains hilary G. This compares favorably to more expensive options in the area.
What you should know
Internet connectivity: Cell service varies by carrier and location. At Southern Trails RV Resort, "Our ATT hot spot nomad internet was strong. Cell phone signal was 4 bars (T-Mobile). Road noise sleep able from I75 nearby," according to Robert M.
Wildlife concerns: Some campgrounds have issues with pests. "Keep in mind this is Georgia so check for red ants. A couple spots we decided not to take as the ants were right next to water/electric hookups," warns Robert M. about Southern Trails RV Resort.
Weather preparation: High humidity affects camping comfort in summer months. "The gnats were horrible. Aside from the annoyance factor I guess it was better then mosquitoes. If you have a screen tent definitely pack it for this trip," advises Shelly S. about camping in the area.
Tips for camping with families
Splash pads: Some newer facilities offer water play areas for children. At Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801, "Splash pad, dog park, pickle ball court, and 2 pavilions with grills.
