Planning Your TripWhen you make your reservation, you will be reserving a camping platform (or island) or series of platforms. To view possible itineraries, click on the "Build Itinerary" button at the top right of the page. This itinerary page is a great reference, but it may not be 100% accurate if there are trail closures or impassable conditions affecting portions of the trail system in relation to certain overnight sites. The trails are designated by different colors and one trip may take you on several different trails - paddlers should look for colored trail markers which also designate the mile. During your trip, you must stay on the designated trails that take you on the most direct route to your overnight site. Some routes enter one part of the refuge and exit at another; please plan accordingly to either hire a shuttle service or provide your own transportation if you will be entering and exiting from different swamp entrances. For help with an itinerary or questions about current trail conditions, please call the Permit Reservation Line Tuesdays-Thursdays from 7:00 A.M.- 10:00 A.M. EST.

With approximately 120 miles of water trails, seven overnight camping platforms and two interior island campsites, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge offers visitors from all over the country (and the world) a unique recreation experience.

Nice campground and convenient for overnight Glamping. Beatiful moss trees and surrounding scenery. Nice pool and store. Very friendly and polite staff. I arrived after hours and was a breeze with the drive thru spots. Only issue was it was a little pricey. $42 each night after tax.

Arrived here for a three-night tent stay in early October after staying at the George L. Smith State Park in Georgia. This place has soo much potential. It was quite deserted. Switched from spot 324 to 375 next to the lake where it was more level. What's up with the restrooms though? There are a couple of spots where port-a-potties have been set up. They are ventilated and well lit, but they have no water though they have what are supposed to be running toilets and even sinks. There's a raised platform with shower stalls, but there's no running water?
The place is otherwise very beautiful and peaceful, but that is also because it's absolutely empty. Haven't seen any other tents here, just a couple of small campers in this section. One the other side of the lake there were about 12 big rigs, far from here. This place is enormous. Lots of bugs. Never seen these many flies in all 13 camps visited in Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina so far.
Very well stocked Country Store within the park, and Walmart is five miles away.
GuideVery large unique campground it offers tent camping, RV camping, camping with horses & cabins. Most famous for their events & concerts. Most campers bring their golf cart & ride the trials. There is a restaurant/bar on site that has live music on on weekends; there is also a general store that has most anything you may need, as well as a Starbucks. Great weekend getaway if your in South Georgia/north Florida.
Traveler
This state park is typical of Georgia state parks in that it is clean, mowed and well kept. Sites are situated so there is some privacy on your table side although fairly open. I do not think there are any sewer hookups and our site (32) has 30 amp. We are here Monday to Thursday and it is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back. We stayed here in a 35’ Montana fifth wheel.
Legend
If you don’t mind being out in the boondocks without much of anything (underscore the word ‘anything’ twice here), then you will instantly fall in love with Charlton County Traders Hill Rec Area – because there is basically almost nothing here.
Except for, everything. Meaning that you’ll discover here pristine natural surroundings, Spanish moss drenched ancient Oaks and Cypress, small twisting little river joints that will slowly, but uncertainly have you navigate your way down the very murky dark waters of the St. Mary’s River, which is the natural dividing line between Florida and Georgia. The land in this campground is flat, somewhat sandy, mixed with the black and red Georgia soil wherein you’ll find a thin film of grass throughout the campground, which is interrupted by these most magestic Magnolia trees that have been strategically placed by God and nature throughout these pristine grounds.
That said, this place is rough and, again, without all of the basic amenities that I’m typically used to when camping out in my tent. For RV’ers, it appears as though all your basic amenities are covered for – flat pebble-strewn slab to park your vehicle, coupled with electric, water and sewage lines. There’s a little camp store on the premises, but it was closed the whole time we were there. The restroom and shower facilities would be more at home in 3rd world countries than in the US, so I would highly recommend a dry bathing alternative.
That aside, one of the best attractions is the very easy water access to St. Mary’s River, where we dipped our kayak and canoe in for what we thought would be a good 30 or 45 minute bit of paddling, only to spend more than 4 hours exploring this very peaceful and enchanting body of water. I truly hope you discover this place for yourself – it is magical.
Happy Camping!

We found this place using this app on a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. It is a small campground but well maintained. I just called ahead to make sure there were spaces available. Walter met us later that day. We settled at spot 13 with our 22 ft camper. A few sites have covered landings with fireplaces or fire pits. Ours had a fire pit. You can also take a short drive to the back of the property and put in a kayak or small boat into the Suwannee River. I would recommend this campground if you are looking for a quiet place to camp and/or visit the swamp. Walter was very nice and although the place is a little worn down it is well loved. It has also been around for a very long time. I will return.

Spent 2 nights in the swamp. Rented canoes and took shuttle to Launch at kingfisher landing, spent 1st night at Bluff Lake and 2nd at Round Top. Ended at SCRA/okefenokee adventures. Platforms in great shape. Bluff lake had a table and benches which was very nice. Beautiful views at Round Top but no table or movable bench. 32 miles of total paddling through some varying environments. Already planning our trip for next year.
ScoutProbably one of the most beautiful campgrounds I ever stayed in. They made sure to spread the campers out so we had our own privacy. Lots of wildlife and nature!
Traveler
Pulled in to camp after dark. Talked to Ranger Kevin on the way in and he went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed. We had a pull through site that made setup a breeze. Immaculate bathrooms, showers, and heated dressing area. The campground hosts checked in on us twice. Cant wait to stop back on our way home for a couple days to explore!
GuideGreat place! Very level site with great hook ups. Nice helpful staff. Don’t forget to check out the Florida trial here!
GuideWe stayed here a couple of years ago while visiting family and friends in Lake City, about 20 miles away. I was very impressed with the facilities, very clean and well kept. Site 19 is a long pull through with plenty of room for a big rig and tow vehicle. Picnic table and fire ring available. Beautiful trees with Spanish moss give the park that old Florida feel. This is Florida, so expect humidity and some bugs. Not a lot of breeze at our site but very shady. Staff was very courteous and helpful, work campers rode by occasionally and would carry off trash if needed. There is a nice museum and camp store/gift shop onsite also. Cell service was good, didn't try the tv. There is no big stores nearby, just a Dollar General in White Springs near the entrance. Definitely a thumbs up.
ScoutFirst time visit. Nice large camp sites, no sewer, but has a dump station. Level sites. Water and electric, has drive thru sites. Our camping club will be coming back here this fall.
ScoutAt the time of our visit the Suwannee River was in flood stage, so most of the amenities were closed because the river was dangerous. Due to heavy rains, there was quite a bit of standing water and a LOT of mosquitoes. But the park was nice. The bathrooms were clean and it would be a great place to explore on a bike. Our spot only had 30amp service, but we saw some that had 50 amp. But we had excellent privacy in a very deep spot.
ScoutWe have been to Stephen Foster 4 or 5 times over the last 10 years and every visit was perfect. The sites are very large, navigation with a 40' unit is easy. Many sites are pull-tru, all except one are only 30 amp. Many sites, 2 t0 11 and almost all pull-tru's are very private. It is our preferred stop over going from GA to FL.
LegendOverall: Excellent campground with close access to the Suwannee River, not far off I-75 near White Springs. The sites are, for the most part, nicely private with a good bit in intentional foliage between them. Most of the sites are well shaded. The river access and trail are beautiful. The water level was quite high when I was there compared to prior visits so it was not possible to walk along the waterline.
Getting there: Get off I-75 at the White Springs exit, go East on NW thunder Street, left on State Rd 100 and follow the signs.
Check in and staff: I was there on a Saturday night, having easily made reservations online using the Florida State Park website: https://www.floridastateparks.org/camping. My ticket with site number and map was there in the little booth for pick up. I did not see any staff the entire time that I was there.
Amenities: Most of the attractions like the carillon tower, craft center etc were closed when I was there. The canoe launch and the river access were easy to get to and beautiful in the early morning light. It seemed that a wedding was recently done or going to be done down by the river in the little pavilion there. Fresh water and electricity at sites with them worked well.
Bathrooms: clean, well kept. Laundry machines available. I did not try taking a shower so I cannot comment on that but they looked clean.
Site: I had site 33. Very nice, private and relatively close to the bathroom. Flat and well drained. Bugs not too bad this time of year. Fire ring, BBQ and wooden picnic table were clean. The only negative that I experienced while there is that one neighbor or the other seemed to have the entire population of the campground at the site, having a very raucous noisy party. I finally had to yell for quiet about 10 pm to try to get some sleep. Fortunately the folks responded by quieting down, even though “quiet time” starts at 11pm per park rules.
TravelerSites are huge. There usually is a lot of activity but this trip it was dead. Town of white springs was bustling with yard sales and a town sale
GuideI agree with all the 5 star reviews so I won’t repeat what they said. Love this place and will come back. 1 minor drawback is dumping. All morning long (Monday) there was a line of campers waiting to dump. It’s now 11:30am and the line is down to 2. Still a great place to camp
TravelerMost campsites are nice. Clean bathhouse and laundry. Odd museum and nothing was open. Historic Sulphar Spings was cool but terrible signage. Need trail maps for hiking in park.Not much to do downtown. We rode our electric bikes around and saw the historical houses. Need a cafe and some shops.
LegendThis was a return visit for me, the last time was in November of last year. What a difference in the water level of the river makes! The campsite was nice, quiet and relatively large and private as before. We had our teardrop TAG along and appreciated the parking bed that was well drained as it was a bit wet the night that we were there. The bathrooms were clean and well cared for, as were the grounds in general. In summary, a great place and one I know we will gladly return to.
TravelerVery quiet and was able to disconnect! Unique scenery and friendly staff!
LegendUnfortunately, we were only here for one night. This park is very peaceful. It’s nice and dark at night. It’s really interesting to walk around the museum. We had so much room with our site! Very spacious. When I booked online it said it was a back in, we get there and we’re happily surprised to see it’s a pull thru.
LegendThis is a great park! Had site 4, pull thru. Great site. Pretty big, and shady. Gravel site with 50 amp, and water. Visited the Stephen Foster museum and bell tower. Wow! All the songs he wrote. If you go, it’s a must to do. It’s free. Didn’t use the restrooms, since we were there only one night. But will go back!
TravelerThe park is beautiful to walk through. The sites are roomy and peaceful. The bathrooms are clean and the water is hot 😊. We loved the availability of firewood and the ease of check in
GuideThis park has a nice balance of historical and natural features. The campsites are large with a gravel surface. Some are in a more open and grassy area and others have vegetation and more spacing between them. The outer back-in sites of the Suwannee and Canebreak loops have the densest vegetation and the most privacy. Most sites are partially shaded. Our site was nice, but in the sun from late morning until early evening. The bathrooms and campground were clean.
LegendGreat park. Pull thru site and 50 amp and water. Has dump station. Huge site, big trees, shady and quiet! I walking and biking. Walk to the bell tower and and museum. Fantastic!
LegendReally nice campground. Too bad we were only there for one night. Everything was very clean.
LegendPull thru site 2. Very shady and plenty of room. Restrooms and showers directly behind us, very clean and well maintained. Walked to the museum, learned a lot about Stephen Foster and all his music. Great park.
