Best Dispersed Camping near Newborn, GA

9 Reviews

Several primitive camping areas exist within a 30-minute drive of Newborn, Georgia, with options including Tyler Hunt Camp, Ocmulgee River Camp, Murder Creek Parking Area, and Rum Creek WMA. All sites maintain a rustic, no-facilities approach - none offer drinking water, toilets, hookups, or trash service. Campers must follow strict pack-in, pack-out principles and bring all necessary supplies.

Ocmulgee River Camp receives the most positive reviews, featuring flat terrain suitable for both tents and RVs. According to one visitor, "It was nice and quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out." Access requires navigating "a little bumpy but manageable" gravel road approximately one mile off the main highway. The area includes horse trails for hiking and occasional wildlife sightings. Hunters frequently use these areas, so expect to hear occasional gunshots, particularly during hunting season. At Rum Creek WMA, campers must have a hunting license, fishing license, or land use pass to legally camp.

    Murder Creek Parking Area

    Great quiet place to enjoy the water cascaded

    To be honest, this is a parking lot people use to park and walk the 200 feet down the the shoals and water cascades along Murder Creek. When we arrived, right before sunset in the middle of the week, it was clear that people had camped here (old fire ring near the end of the parking lot). We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. Besides the faint traffic noise that is mostly drowned out by the waterfall noise, this place was very quiet. We saw no one that evening or the next morning prior to departure. Had fun walking down to the water. I suspect in the summer this area is quite the hot spot with swimmers. The lot provably does require a little clearance. So, a sedan may not be the best choice. That probably helps with traffic control on this road. The site is at the very end.

    Tyler Hunt Camp

    Tyler Campground

    This place is a refuge. There are privately owned homes around but the folks keep to themselves. It's quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out. The state keeps it and the road in nice. Expect to have a drive thru at least once around 9/10. It's just a see who is in the area type thing. Very nice place

    Ocmulgee River Camp

    Gorgeous site, trails a little rough

    Beautiful campsite, just a few neighbors, tons of flat space and a few fire pits. There are hunters around and we heard a good deal of shots. Saw some deer on a walk. It was quite hot but surprisingly not that buggy.

    Tyler Hunt Camp

    Secluded Until It Wasn’t

    I enjoyed my stay here during the day, but things changed after dark. There were old weedeaters scattered in the weeds, along with grills and other items that seemed to have been tossed into the woods. I initially brushed it off and didn't think much of it. I was the only one camping at this site. As night fell, I began preparing for bed, but I noticed vehicles coming and going—at least three within an hour. Around 10 PM, a few Mustangs pulled up and sat for about 45 minutes. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I decided to pack up and leave. After sharing my experience with a few friends, many of them expressed their own concerns about this location. I give it 3 stars for the beauty and peacefulness... until nightfall.

    Ocmulgee River Camp

    Great Camping Spot

    Open spaces and very quiet this time of the year (January) train horn in the distance and gunshots in the distance as well from hunters here and there but all around a great spot to really enjoy.

    Ocmulgee River Camp

    Nice mostly quiet spot

    It was nice and warm even in December! Almost 70 degrees! Spot with a nice horse trail to hike - saw some deer and a mystery black animal, maybe a boar or a bear - unsure. Had a lot of neighbors on a weekday night - and a mystery trailer with no activity and no truck to pull it. Overall pretty easy gravel road to get to it, was a little buggy since it was humid and by the river but not too bad.

    Ocmulgee River Camp

    Nice Camping a Mile Off the Road

    Nice open camp site with plenty of spots for camping. Only a mile off the road, which is a little bumpy but manageable.
