  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.

  Cordele KOA

  4.2 stars

  This KOA is just off of i75, super convenient for an overnight stop (which was what we did). Our boys loved the early 80s Era playground, but unfortunately it wasn't kept up well and was frankly dangerous- the large swingset wasn't anchored to the ground, the fence was partially torn down near the roadway, and there was rust on the equipment. They didn't kbiw the difference and played on it for an hour having lots of fun, but it is an accident waiting to happen. The woman who we dealt with at check in was awesome- super nice and friendly, and gave me a teacher discount. Our site was a nice large pull through with a picnic table and fire ring. Setup wasn't difficult. There was some wet dirt, could probably use some gravel. The campground looked to be in a retired pecan Grove. Not a ton of privacy but large sites and nice trees. While you can hear the highway, this one is not immediately adjacent but one property away, so it isn't bad. The property between the campground and the highway is a large abandoned building.. slightly shady but not a problem. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

  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.

  Georgia Veterans State Park Campground

  Oh the Heat

  I rent a little cabin and it was really nice. I usually camp with tents but with the Georgia heat and all the bugs I wasnt going to deal with it this time. I would recommend the same. The cost is fair and they are clean.

  Ranger Review: OOFOS Shoes at Cordele KOA

  Ranger Review: OOFOS shoes at Cordele KOA Journey

  Campground Review:

  Right off I75 in Georgia sits a small KOA with TONS of amenities! Being just a block off the interstate I assumed it would be noisy. But all the trees make a great sound barrier and we had a nice quiet weekend and will definitely be back!

  This campground accommodates Campers, with spaces up to 90 foot long! (up to 50 amp), Tents, and even offers Cabin Rental! Has a pool, propane fill station, firewood to purchase, laundry room and updated bathhouse. a dog area, wifi and even offers cable, for the people who like to camp inside 😉

  Our weekend cost was about $70 for out tent site, there were a few people staying in a camper long term who mentioned they do offer reduced rates. I didn’t get to check on the cabins, but they look super cute from the outside and run $50 a night if you book online.

  Nearby attractions (we did not visit) include Lake Blackshear, a manmade lake, with a really cool dam, and Georgia Veterans State Park on one side. They have a marina and beach. And The Andersonville National Historic Site the location of a Confederate prison where 13,000 Union soldiers died.

   

  Product review: OOFOS SHOE

  As a Dyrt Ranger I was privileged to get a major discount on an awesome pair of OOFOS shoes.

  I'm telling you now, this is the most comfortable thing I've ever put on my feet! It's like walking on pillows every step you take! I have arthritis in both my knees and have been having some trouble lately. The day my shoes got here I was eager to try them on, and once I did, they didnt come off the rest of the night! They help with the pain of walking, and my knees havent hurt in a week. I'm in love!

  https://www.oofos.com/collections/men/products/mens-oomg-low-shoe-white-gray

  They're made of a really squishy, super lightweight foam. And have a breathable mesh top. I ordered the light gray color, and love the tiny pop of lime green in the logo and little tag to help pull them on. I was hesitant when I seen they had no laces and the rubber strap on top was fixed. But i had no problems getting them on, the mesh is stretchy and my foot slid right in!

  My only complaint is that small rocks get stuck in the bottom of the shoe, in the middle tread. But, they're easy to pop out.

  They also offer flip flops too, so that will be my next purchase. OOFOS will be my go to shoes from now on!

  Use my link for 10% off your purchase!

  Cordele KOA

  The Staff is the Hidden Gem

  This campground became an unplanned stop for us following an accident on I-75 where we were hit and our fifth wheel incapacitated for about five hours. We called and they happily put us in a spot for the night if we could make it / be towed there - and didn’t bother with the financials till later since we weren’t sure we could. The staff work super hard and the park is well kept. It’s a quiet setting which has been a fantastic for us with so many insurance issues and tasks to recover our losses on our totaled rig. We had friends come and camp by us for several days just to offer support and they noticed the manager Bob works way harder than any one person should.

  The only reason it wasn’t five stars is the pool is not open - a fence is down from the highway department doing some road work and the big yellow sign is also down. This made it very difficult for us to find the entrance in our damaged RV in the rain.

  Quite park, great staff

  We spent the weekend at the park and it was nice. We had a well shaded place and level. Site included power, water and electric... Full hook ups were all taken. Bathroom facilities were nice also. Due to the Covid19 the pool wasn't open or even started to be cleaned since the county won't allow it at this time. We took a ride to veterans state park to the lake and rode the kayaks which were really nice, and the beach area was nice. Once the pool opens, I can see quite a few trips back to the koa.

  P.S. don't let the exit fool you... It was very quiet there even though it was close to the interstate and the exit is deserted.

  Cordele KOA

  Great stop if you’re passing through

  Stopped here to camp overnight on our way down to Florida from Ohio. Arrived around 9:30 and was able to check-in after hours via a box with an envelope next to the office. Only us and a few other people so it was pretty quiet. The restrooms were very clean and well lit, and in this current covid time going to a public restroom can be dicey so I appreciated that.

  It is right next to the highway, which is quick and great if you’re just pulling in for the night. We camped in a truck but if you’re a tent camper you will be hearing the dull roar of the expressway all night if that bothers you!
