Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Douglas, GA

I must admit, the concept of an RV Resort is lost on me, but that said, if I was looking for an RV Resort to spend the night(or a handful) than Pebble Hill RV Resort, located in the SE corner of Georgia, certainly ticks a number of boxes. At first glance, you would spy this RV campground and consider it to be, well, just like most of the rest– complete with 20/ 30/ 50 electrical amp and water hook-ups, slanted pull-through sites with a picnic table, BBQ and fire ring all encircling a small pond(with plans to develop a second one)– but upon a closer look(OK, more than a look, you’ll have to go for a short drive or a 10 minute walk) and you’ll come to the main house, where there’s a Victorian-like pool oasis, complete with sun loungers and umbrellas. Behind the great house here, you’ll discover another pond and about 20 additional spots– some of which they’ll let out to tent campers. Insider’s tip? I would definitely recommend a site near the main house, where, BTW, there’s plans to build a clubhouse/ gym space. There’s plenty of open spaces for a game of flag football or ultimate frisbee along with other amenities such as 2 laundry areas as well as fresh eggs every morning from the hens onsite, along with your pick of fresh produce from the resort’s own home-grown vegetable gardens, 2 dog parks along with a number of decent, albeit not-too-difficult hiking trails. This spot is pet friendly and overall, I found the owners, staff and rest of the RV-going community to be quite friendly, welcoming and inviting. Another upside to this spot is that it is relatively new and so the owners appear to be building and adding new things everyday. Insider’s tips? I have a handful… Nearby there’s a handful of golf courses(if that’s your thing) and for those wanting to hit the ocean shores, you’ll have about a 50 minute drive to the nearest beaches– not too bad when you consider the very reasonable prices you’ll be paying to stay at this spot. I’d also recommend that you check out some of what SE Georgia has to offer such as the quaint town of St. Mary’s, and it goes without saying, nearby Savannah, as well as some pretty outstanding islands like St. Simons, Jekyll, Sapelo and Cumberland. There’s also nearby General Coffee State Park, which has fantastic hiking trails and features a Heritage Farm so the little ones can see how hard it was to live(and have fun) back in the day. Happy Camping!

The camping area is very small, with sites close to each other and no privacy (flat area, tall pines without vegetation between sites). Having said that, it was pretty quiet; mostly used by retirees. It has a cute dog park, with areas for large and small pups. It has clean bathrooms and washer dryer that accepts apple pay. Park has a tiny beach for its tiny lake. Unfortunately, the very small lake is used by jet skiers and ski boats so very loud and no good for swimming, paddling or fishing except really early or late in the day. Two short trails are cute with tortoises. The bugs are enthusiastic so if you’re not ready to bathe in DEET, you will pay the price. Good park to spend the night on the way somewhere.

This is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.
