    Florence Marina State Park Campground

    Quiet State Park

    Had a nice weekend at this small state park. The site was very clean with fire pit, picnic table, and full hook ups including cable. The fire pit had been cleaned out before we arrived which was a nice surprise. The bathhouse was centrally located and was spotless. It included an interior wash room and was heated which was appreciated on the chilly evenings. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Showers also had a separate changing area with plenty of shelves and hooks to keep clothes dry. Loved the recycling on site! The sites are pretty close to each other and because it’s located in a pine forest, there’s not much privacy but enough space to enjoy the patio. We’re glad we checked it out!

    Great views, near Roosevelt's Little White House and Warm Springs

    Green forest on Pine Mountain, this campground is well laid out and has history.  Several projects done by the CCC.  40 miles of trails to hike/bike.  A CCC built pond where you can rent paddle boats or bring your own kayak or canoe.  Equestrian trail rides (and stable rentals) are available.  Water/power, fire pit, picnic tables on gravel sites with some pull thru.  Satellite tv can be received at some sites.  Showers/bathrooms with laundry facility at each.  And several trails to walk you dog.

    Life size statue of FDR on Dowdell's Knob, where FDR would come to relax and take in the view over King's Gap.

    Grocery store available in the town of Pine Mountain (about 15 minutes from campground).

    Great base for area sight seeing:

    Roosevelt's Little White House State Park

    Warm Springs (where Roosevelt would go for the warm springs)

        In Columbus, GA:

    National Infantry on Fort Benning

    Florence Marina State Park Campground

    Beautiful sunset by the water 🌅

    Park was easy to get to. We were on site 1, a back in site. Sites were kinda close together, we heard a little more of our neighbors than we would have liked to. Campground was dog friendly and many were around. Bathrooms and laundry facilities were roomy and clean. The grill and fire pit were in good shape. We didn’t see a store for firewood and charcoal, so bring your own if you’ll need it. Although we didn’t use it, the grounds had a putt putt course that was available for guest use. The camp hosts were very kind.

    Chewacla State Park Campground

    Close to Buc-ees and I-85!

    I called on Sunday afternoon and immediately connected to a young lady who assured me that a site was available. The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility). There are glamping tents for rent. Several hiking trails, including a waterfall trail are inside the gate checkpoint. The park is close to town, meaning abundance of food options and cheap gas (2.499) on June 6, 2025.

    Beautiful park

    We can’t even get past the fact that this spot is only $30! COE outdid themselves with this park. Site was pretty level and only needed a few adjustments, but it’s so worth it. Private deck overlooking the lake with steps leading down to your private lake front and fire pit. Spacing from neighbors was decent as well. We’ll 100% be back to enjoy this park more.

    Great Spring Trip

    Booked a couple of adjacent sites to explore the area with friends. The State Park is very well maintained, sites offered enough privacy, bathhouse was very clean, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Visited the Little White House State Historic site and enjoyed the Wild Safari and some good B-B-Q.

    Florence Marina State Park Campground

    Lakeside Camping for Fisherman

    This park is located in the small town of Omaha, GA, you will need to plan your stay accordingly for supplies as there is no shopping available within a few miles. The town of Eufaula, AL is 20 miles away and Lumpkin, GA is about 16 miles away, these are the closest places to get supplies and food. This park is a great place to plan fishing activities on the Walter F. George Reservoir (Lake Eufaula). There is a well equipped marina for short and long term boat storage/docking and also includes fish cleaning stations on site. There is a boat launch area and the camp store is equipped for most of the fishing supplies you will need.

    The camp ground is an improved campground which includes water, electric, sewer, tables and grills. The roads through the campground are paved with ample room for maneuvering all classes of RV’s without issues. The bath houses are very clean and well equipped. For detailed information you can visit the Park’s Website at https://gastateparks.org/FlorenceMarina. There are a few trails for hiking down by the waters edge but we didn’t use them during this stay.

    The only negative we can offer is the area was very wet when we visited due to rain the days before. Many camp sites were not useable with visible water standing and the areas around the bath houses were also flooded.

    Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground

    Great State park and camping

    We were on site 213 and 214. Beautiful wooded site lots of space between sites in this loop. Very short walk to lake. Loop 1 sites are lake front and lake view but more close together than we like. Sites pretty level and gravel. Concrete picnic table, fire ring and light pole with lots of room fir our dogs. Bathroom facilities were very clean, with showers and laundry. Placed well around the campground. Playground but not opened at this time. Lots of hiking trails, pool, can rent canoes and paddle boats on the lake. Dog friendly. Close to Calloway Gardens and little town of Pine Mountain.


Guide to Fort Benning

Fort Benning straddles the Georgia-Alabama border with military campgrounds set among pine forests where summer temperatures typically reach 90°F. The region features numerous lakes and rivers including the Chattahoochee River, Lake Walter F. George, and West Point Lake. Camping options range from military facilities with restricted access to state parks and Corps of Engineers campgrounds that accommodate both tent and RV campers.

What to do

Visit Providence Canyon State Park: Located just 9 miles from Florence Marina State Park Campground, this natural wonder is known as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon." "We stayed to go hiking over at Providence Canyon. It was a short ten minute drive. The staff and crew were all amazing," notes Joe R.

Fish on West Point Lake: The fishing is excellent at R. Shaefer Heard Campground, which sits right on the lake. "The lake is gorgeous! Sites are huge and well spaced out with plenty of shade and privacy," reports Shelly F. Boat rentals are available, and you can fish with either an Alabama or Georgia license since the lake spans both states.

Explore historic sites: FDR State Park offers access to historic sites related to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. "Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area. The visitor center has a real cool shop and the staff are always friendly and helpful," shares Katie A.

What campers like

Private waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy at Amity Campground. "The sites are so private you'd think you are alone. The park is spread out so that each loop is so far from the others you can't hear or see them," writes Steve G. The campground features large lakefront sites with plenty of space between neighbors.

Military accommodations: Military personnel and their guests enjoy exclusive access to Uchee Creek Army Campground and Marina. "Only downside is that you have to be military, or be with someone who is military, to get in. There's a range of cabin styles to choose from. My girlfriend loved the chateau. It's not camping. It's a vacation house in the woods," Joshua D. explains.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the cleanliness of facilities at Fort Benning area campgrounds. At Uchee Creek, "Super well maintained tent sites. The tent footprint is elevated by railroad ties, preventing flooding and it made it very convenient to put my boots on in the morning," notes Kyle S.

What you should know

Gate hours: Some campgrounds restrict after-hours entry. "The gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy," cautions Denis P. about R. Shaefer Heard Campground.

Cell service variation: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. At Chewacla State Park Campground, "WiFi works great in our section as well if you need that. Speed test showed 10Mbps on my device and I had no issues streaming 4K on a Roku TV," reports Jared W.

Wildlife encounters: Expect to see various wildlife throughout the camping areas. "We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds," shares Taylor at Uchee Creek. Some campgrounds have alligators in the water bodies, with warning signs posted.
