RV parks near Fitzgerald, Georgia offer camping options in the heart of southern Georgia's agricultural region, where peanuts and cotton fields dominate the landscape. The area experiences humid subtropical climate with hot summers often exceeding 90°F and mild winters. Most campgrounds in the region sit at elevations between 350-400 feet above sea level and feature level terrain with sandy loam soil that drains quickly after rain.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: The lake at Paulk Park RV Park and Campground provides bass fishing within walking distance of camping sites. "Small sites but pull thru. Beautiful lake and full hookups," notes camper Ali P. Local visitors often use the fishing pond during daytime hours.
Golf access: Dedicated golf packages are available at Wanee Lake Golf & RV Park where campers can play the 9-hole course at discounted rates. "Their 9 hole golf course was enjoyable to play. The owners and work campers were super nice," reports one reviewer. Military discounts of 10% apply to golf packages that include cart rental.
Pickleball games: Active campers can use dedicated courts at some regional parks. "They had a little splash park playground and a pickleball court," mentions MickandKarla W. about Love's RV Stop in Cordele. Equipment rental is available through on-site kiosks at certain locations.
What campers like
Spacious new sites: Recent expansions at some rv sites near Fitzgerald, Georgia have improved camping options. "We had reserved a site in the new area that used to be the diving range... The cement pad was plenty long enough for our 40' 5th wheel, and there was plenty of gravel to park our F450," reports MickandKarla W. at Wanee Lake.
Reliable internet connectivity: Love's RV Stop-Cordele GA 801 provides strong WiFi service even during severe weather. "I work remotely and the WiFi was great for work and streaming," notes Nik J. about The Camp RV Park. Download speeds up to 52 Mbps have been reported at some facilities.
Quiet camping environments: Campgrounds farther from I-75 offer more peaceful settings. "Cozy and great for self contained... very quiet and peaceful. Will have locals visit during the day for the fishing pond. Lots of room to walk dogs," notes a reviewer about Paulk Park. Sites at the perimeter of parks typically provide more buffer from other campers.
What you should know
Site selection strategy: Corner and end sites provide more space and privacy. "Site 41 doesn't have any close neighbors and is probably one of the best sites in the CG. You are near the first tee, and we enjoyed watching golfers tee off," explains one camper about Wanee Lake Golf & RV.
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat requires checking for fire ant activity around hookups. "Keep in mind this is Georgia so check for red ants. A couple spots we decided not to take as the ants were right next to water/electric hookups," warns Robert M. Local parks treat for ants regularly but vigilance is needed.
Discount programs: Several parks participate in Passport America offering 50% discounts. "We received a Passport America discount for our two night's weekday stay," notes one camper. Good Sam discounts of 10% are also accepted at multiple facilities in the region.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities: Seasonal pools and splash pads provide relief during hot months. "The splash pad is great for the kids. They have one pickleball court and a very short trail," reports Greg S. about Love's RV Stop.
Dog-friendly areas: Dedicated dog parks are increasingly common at rv parks near Fitzgerald. "There's a pool and a fenced dog area. Not huge, but a decent size," notes a camper. Some parks like The Trolley Stop RV Park include separate sections for small and large dogs.
Scheduled activities: Check with park offices for seasonal events. "This campground has some amazing activities for you and your family," mentions Ashley F. about The Trolley Stop RV Park. Host-organized gatherings often occur during peak travel seasons.
Tips from RVers
Power management: Some parks experience electrical issues during peak demand. "Water pressure was good at around 60 psi here," notes a camper at Wanee Lake. Bringing surge protectors is recommended for sensitive electronics and HVAC systems.
Check-in systems: Modern parks implement digital check-in options. "Check in through the Loves app or onsite Kiosk. We tried to call ahead and pay cash onsite. The cashiers worked it out but apparently they aren't set up to take cash reservations," explains skylar T. about Tifton RV Park I-75.
On-site food options: Several parks have integrated food services. "The clubhouse's Fire Ant Grill has decent food. We tried their basic cheeseburger and the green olive sauce burger that is based on an old Michigan A&W Root Beer recipe. Both were delicious," reports a camper about dining options at Wanee Lake.
