The glamping experience near Fort Benning includes numerous recreational activities centered around water and forest. At Uchee Creek, guests can enjoy swimming in a resort-style pool and splash pad, boat rentals at the marina, and wildlife viewing with frequent deer and bird sightings. Florence Marina glamping accommodations provide direct access to boating and fishing on Lake Walter F. George, with boat rentals available onsite. For nature enthusiasts, Providence Canyon State Park is just 9 miles from Florence Marina, offering unique hiking experiences through Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon." One guest highlighted, "We stayed here so we could camp in close proximity to Providence Canyon State Park. Florence Marina is geared mostly towards those who want to get out on the lake in boats, but we enjoyed walking the little nature trails and kayaking in our down time between hiking over at Providence."
"They have an amazing staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. Their pool and splash pad is nicer than most hotels. The site bathrooms/showers and laundry area are kept in very well condition."
"Established trash/food hang poles as well as picnic tables next to the fire ring with fold over grill capabilities."
"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."
"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."

"When we got there Friday afternoon we had a great view of the lake, but after 5:00 the place filled up quickly. If you want an unobstructed view of the lake you should rent a lakeside spot."

ScoutSite is a good size located on the shore of Lake Delano under trees. Great view. Fire ring and picnic table equipped. The temp is still hot and humid but there is a breeze which makes it bearable in the daytime, nights are cooler and comfortable. Plenty to explore with Pine Mountain Trail close by. Would stay here again. This site is water and electric only with dump station at entrance.
LegendThis is a typical park where not all sites are created equal. Some are paved, some are gravel. Some have 50 amp, some are 30-amp. Some are perfectly level and some have really steep grades. Some sites are pull-thru, some are back-in. Some are really long, some are much shorter. The roads in the campground are paved, free of potholes, and fairly easily navigable for big-rigs. All sites are pet-friendly and have water and electric. There are no sewer sites. Campsites 1-27 and 85-106 have 50-amp electric while the others are 30-amp. Some sites (40, 47, 50, 52, 65, 80, 84, 87, 89, 101) are “double-unit” (or buddy) sites which is reflective in the $60/night price. There are bathrooms scattered throughout the campground in each loop but there are only two shower houses in the entire campground. Sites 1-16 are perfectly level as are a few others. Reservations can be made online and the website has pictures and descriptions as well as length of site. The campground is very dark at night with the only lights being at the bathrooms. We love dark campgrounds where the moon and stars are bright. Unfortunately, numerous campers left their lights all night which we find really annoying. Our Verizon phone was very spotty and not reliable. We were able to use our portable Dish satellite to get television. There is a dump station located conveniently on your way out which is quite busy on Sundays at check out.
GuideSite 22 full hookup. Small campground with nothing around in terms of town or business. Bathhouses were very well kept. Laundry was $1! Went to Providence Canyon SP. Very interesting hikes and sites. Watch those log trucks they move!
ScoutI have been to FDR 3 times in the last 3 years and I hope to come more frequently. I came here multiple times over 50 years ago and I find it as enjoyable now as I did then. The check in is always easy. It is quiet there and there is so much to do. The trails are great for hiking. The facilities are always clean.
Georgia state parks are always nice but this is my favorite.
GuideNice updated CCC corp campground. Large sites,level full hookup. Most if not all have a view of the lake. We are here on a Monday but very quiet .We are in an Airstream 28 foot but several large rigs , class A and 5th wheels Not close to full but I expect very busy in the summer and weekends. I would definitely make a reservation just 90 miles from Atlanta
LegendThis review is for an early winter stay. The 500 loop was beautiful, with tall pines dominating the flora and creating a serene setting. The sites on the outside of the loop are wonderful- large, private and forested; whereas the inner sites were facing the road in many cases. We had 505 and my parents had 515, and both were really good. We played in the forest a lot with the kids, building a shelter and climbing trees. There is a small playground in the 500 loop. The other camping loops didn't look quite as private. The park is super close to Callaway Gardens, so we were able to check in and get setup on Friday late afternoon and still get to see the Holiday Light show at Callaway, which is pricey but very cool and worth a one time experience. The state park itself is huge, spanning at least 15 miles with trails throughout. There is one trail that is over 20 miles. The lookout where FDR spent time and had a picnic spot was stunning. We also really enjoyed the Cascade Falls trail, which had several small waterfalls along the way. This park leaves little to be desired for a weekend camping getaway.
TravelerOur stay at F.D. Roosevelt Campground was a mix of beautiful nature and frustrating logistics.
📅 Reservation Issues One of the biggest challenges we experienced was trying to secure a campsite on short notice. The reservation system felt rigid — same-day bookings weren’t available online, which made planning last-minute trips difficult and stressful. The online reads like same day walk ups are non existent.
🚿 Cleanliness of Facilities The bathrooms and showers generally stayed clean and maintained.
💰 Pricing for Tent Camping For tent camping, the nightly rate felt on the high side compared to what you’d expect — particularly if you’re just pitching a basic tent without hookups or extra amenities. We paid $43 per night here for a simple tent stay. It felt a bit steep for what you get unless you’re taking full advantage of the trails, lakes, or historical sites.
🌲 Overall Vibe While the setting is beautiful and there’s plenty to do around the park — from hiking trails to nearby historic spots — the combination of reservation headaches and cost for basic camping made our experience a bit of a mixed bag.
TravelerStayed here for 3 days to go visit Providence canyon which was a 15-minute drive down the road. Sites were close together, no playground in the campsite. Staff was amazing and helpful.
ScoutI 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
