ScoutTent camping was really more of a job than a vacation night and bathrooms were nasty

George L Smith should be on every paddlers checklist! It’s a great paddling experience unlike most.
The campground is nice and well kept.
This might be an annual trip for us.
Traveler
Wonderful campgrounds. Very clean and well kept. New clean bath facilities. Almost all sites are in the water with half shaded. Highly recommend!
Scout
Street lights, and some grill I place. At end of the road.

Stayed here overnight while returning from South Georgia. Was only camper that night, perhaps 10-12 other groups making use of lake/fishing vicinity further into the park -- all of whom exited the park at dark. There is a really nice covered pavilion overlooking the lake if you get rained out (4 picnic tables.) Bathrooms with flush toilets and hot water available 200 yards away from pavilion. Park is split in two sections. The upper section (when you first drive in) is where the camping spots are. The lower section has 3-4 small lakes popular with fishing. T-mobile showed 2 bars 5G allowing you to grab a 1 day fishing pass ($8) to satisfy permit.
GuideWe loved this campground because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it was so peaceful. We stayed for a week during the kids’ spring break. Such a beautiful setting with nearly all the campsites on the water. There’s not interstates, trains, airports nearby so it’s truly a quiet getaway. There’s a new bathhouse that was nice and clean. Plenty to do with boats, kayaks, paddle boats to rent. The staff and Rangers were very accommodating and welcoming. Campsites were nicely shaded. Just so picturesque! Would love to come back!
GuideToday was beautiful. We took the aqua cycle out. It can sit four people comfortably. Fished and walked around a little bit. Great customer service.
GuideBeautiful peaceful and quiet.
RangerRead through all the reviews and it seems to have come a long ways. There are more hiking trails, really nice docks and boats for rent and slightly better Verizon service. My Tesla wireless worked barely and without the cell phone extender I wouldn't have been able to work here. All in though they do a very nice job of providing private spaces and the cabins look amazing. It was in the teens outside so not floating on the lake for me but I would love to do that. The lake looks incredible.
LegendJake from the Dyrt here! This campground is new to the Dyrt and open for reservations through the Dyrt!

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.
GuideWe stayed at George L. Smith State Park in Oct. 2023. We had a large, level, pull-thru site with water and 50 amp service. No sewer. There are sites on the water that some are large and some are close. Those do have a view and some are private.
The park was quite and peaceful for our visit. We really enjoyed paddling the pond and checking out the grist mill and covered bridge. The pond is black water with tons of cypress and tupelo trees throughout. Kind of mystical.
ScoutWe camped here over thanksgiving weekend and were the only ones camping. A few people here and there to visit during the day/evenining but we were the only ones overnight. Very remote and quiet. As others have said, no water or bathrooms. We did have two trucks come unload their loud boats at the ramp around 3:30-4am which was annoying but that’s the risk you take.
GuideVery nice spot. No toilets or drinking water available. There is a trash barrel by the picnic pavilion, but I think the expectation is to pack out trash. You just can’t beat the location though. Right on the water with a great view.

This RV Park is clean, friendly and has Full Water and Sewer Hookups. It's off Highway 341 which connects Coastal and Middle Georgia.

Idk what’s going on but management drives out any workers every 3 months, and overworks them, doing 18 hours a day, and doesn’t even pay some of them. That’s not normal, and highly suspicious.
It’s not a safe town or a safe park. Half of it is a trashy trailer park, and is crawling with drug addicts, alcoholics, and thieves. Cops would come by weekly.
DONT GO HERE.
I know it’s cheap. It’s not worth it.
Guide
Clean and Shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms.
The park has many amenities just a short walk away. Nearby golf course seems to be appreciated by several campers. Take a walk down to the dam and read about the construction of the park and the lake, by the CCC, in the 1930's
As of September 2023 the construction on the Cottages continues, so there is some noise during the day. But considering we were the closest to it, it was not bad.
TravelerGreat place to camp for a night or multiple nights! It is free and there are already some fire pits set up. It's close by the river so it has the potential to flood and cops come by to check up on the spot occasionally.

We stayed here for one night on our way to Savannah. The grounds were well kept and it felt very comfortable. The FHU pull throughs are spacious and easy to manage. This is country camping; with goats and cows right next to you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay after a problem filled travel day. Thanks to Dwayne and Deborah for creating a safe and clean place for people like us.
ScoutGreat place to camp. Friendly staff, great fishing, and new clean bathrooms. Been there several times and will continue.
ScoutNo sites available. Looks like permanent campers have moved in. Some sites decorated with empty beer cans and grocery carts.
LegendGeneral: Small (25-site) campground, all with electric/water plus a fire ring, lantern hook, and picnic table. There are also 8 cottages and four primitive campsites. Most have a water view. An interesting thing about Georgia state parks is that when you arrive and check in, you become eligible for a senior or military/veteran “rebate” which is not available when reserving.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel and level. Most sites had a step-down area with a picnic table, fire ring/grill, and lantern hook with plenty of room for a tent.
Bathhouse: Was very clean. Lights are on a timer so make sure you don’t end up in the dark too soon! Did not use the showers but they looked to be very clean as well.
Activities: Fishing, boating (kayaks are available for rent), and some short hiking/walking paths. There is an 1880s grist mill/covered bridge with self-guided tours but it was scheduled to close for renovations on October 31 (not sure for how long) so we were lucky we arrived on the 30th and were able to see it. The hosts were very available and friendly. The campground was about half full and very quiet.
Note that there is a sketchy RV “park” across the street from the campground. When we asked, the host said they keep a close watch on it and make sure no one from there accesses the campground; we did not experience any problems.
We were told the colors were early this year and they were like nothing we’d seen before so as a photographer, I loved shooting something entirely different! Also, we were pleasantly surprised there were no bugs so close to a swamp!
TravelerNice place, kept neat and clean. Several spaces though fairly close together water and electricity, dependable small dump station easily accessible as well. 
GuideFantastic campground. 36' 5th wheel in site 17. Plenty of room
GuideLess than a half mile off of 75, this is a nice little stop for overnights, however the monthly rates also make it economical for longer stays. Not really anywhere for tent camping. There's a little bit of road noise when youre outside as to be expected with being so close, however theres just enough trees and scenery to make it feel a little more like nature compared to many of the other parks along 75. There are no online reservations, so you need to call or use the online registration request form, if nobody answers just leave a message and they'll be right back with you. Seems to be plenty of availability, we were able to book a monthly spot the day of.

My daughter and I have stayed here the last 3 summer’s. It’s officially a must for our summer camp trips. The serenity of the area and huge fields and beautiful trees. The air is just different. I find great peace here.
RangerWe went near the end of August and had a nice little get away. This park is so peaceful and a great place to go to just sit back, relax and enjoy the views. We were in site 22 which was a pull through right on the lake. My only issue with the site was that it was very unlevel but it was very close to the water and right beside a small fishing dock which was great for my son who loves to fish. Sites have electrical hookups and there is access to a grey water dump but not full sewer access. This was fine since we were only there for the weekend. On this particular trip we didn’t use the bathhouse so I can’t comment on that but since our trip they have opened a new bath house. I took my kayak and enjoyed kayaking on the lake with my kids. We also went to the historic mill and museum that was onsite which was neat. Additionally while there was no swimming in the lake, the park ranger gave me a tip on a local swimming hole just down the road called the shoals and I took the kids there to play in the water and cool off for a while.
