Indian Springs State Park offers several cabin accommodations near Flovilla. The cabins are situated in a woodland environment at elevations between 650-700 feet, providing cooler temperatures than the surrounding lowlands. During summer months, overnight temperatures typically range from 65-75°F while daytime temperatures can reach into the 90s, making cabin camping a more comfortable option for those seeking shelter from both heat and occasional thunderstorms.
What to do
Paddle the lake: Rent kayaks at Indian Springs State Park Campground for exploring the small lake. "We rented kayaks and rode bikes all weekend! There are many nooks to explore in this lake," notes one visitor who appreciated the water activities.
Explore hiking trails: The park features several walking paths through wooded terrain. A camper at Stone Mountain Park Campground mentioned similar trail experiences: "We found a trial behind our campsite that lead down to the lake. We could have put our Paddle board & kayad in there but decided to put in at the boat ramp instead."
Visit historical sites: Walk to the old graveyard dating back to the early 1800s near the campground. "On the return walk to the campground we explored an old graveyard that was neat. It went back to early 1800's," shared a visitor describing nearby historical attractions.
What campers like
Peaceful wooded settings: Many cabins at Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground offer similar woodland privacy. "The campground is not cramped at all and most of the sites are spread apart to provide privacy!" remarked one reviewer who appreciated the spacious layout.
Wildlife viewing: Cabin areas provide opportunities to spot local wildlife. "Deer walking through the site. Good water views and hiking," noted a camper describing their experience at a nearby park location.
Clean facilities: Scenic Mountain RV Park receives similar praise for maintenance: "Clean and beautifully maintained facilities and grounds." Their cabin options include "level sites, fire pits and a nice club house."
What you should know
Seasonal water conditions: Lake water quality varies throughout the year. "A lot of Parrot feather weed is in the lake and no swimming is allowed," one visitor noted about the water at Indian Springs.
Reservation requirements: Book cabins well in advance, especially for peak seasons. "The comfort stations have restrooms/showers, as well as two family restroom/shower facilities. The comfort stations also feature vending machines (drinks) and a laundry facility!"
Mineral springs access: The historic mineral springs house remains open for visitors. "The Creek Nation used them for centuries to heal their sick. The water from the springs has a strong sulfur smell and taste. I would not recommend drinking it, but there were people filling plastic bottles of the stuff to take home."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Most family-friendly cabin areas include play equipment for children. At Forsyth KOA, "They have a small dog park which is a bonus. Staff was friendly and helpful," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Consider food delivery options: Some cabin locations offer food service. "Pulled in for an overnight on a road trip. Got in around 7:00 and was offered food from a little hot kitchen on site which was a great convenience after being in the road."
Look for cabin amenities: Different cabin options provide varying levels of comfort. "Sorta like a nice parking lot with grass and trees. We stayed in January so the weather was on the chill side. I did not notice a lot of trees though for shade when the temperature does rise."
Tips from RVers
Check electronic reliability: Power stability varies across cabin and RV sites. "Full hookup are adequate with nice bath houses. Wifi was about 40% until the park filled up then nothing. Cable tv reception screen quality was poor."
Consider shower facilities: Bathhouse quality differs between locations. "Bathrooms are rustic, not well kept, not much hot water. Overall park is not well kept, but great sites, small beach area, and nice lake area."
Navigating with larger vehicles: Access roads can be challenging for larger units. "Be careful and follow the Campground signs and not your GPS because you might come in a different way and have to navigate an overpass that, for done rigs, is too short!"
