VERY nice place
If you want country and quiet. This is the place. I enjoy fishing in the altamaha. Approximately half mile from the campground. We go back every year for the last 10 years,

Near Yet Far
Beautiful and secluded setting near Douglas, GA. Well kept campsites, restrooms and showers. Plenty of playgrounds for the kids. Water and electric sites available with mostly level parking. Campsites are nicely spaced so you're not right on top of your neighbors. Nice little park store at the entrance with extremely friendly people. Dump station available. Boat rentals available.

TravelerPaulk Park RV Park and Campground
Great view and highly unique
Paulk Park is an RV park and campground situated next to a lake and sandwiched between a small municipal airport (with very little air traffic) and a city park. The tent sites aren't really sites, but more of a large field with no discernable separation between each site. The host's pre-trip messages are very detailed and easy to follow. They basically say to find a spot between the road and the lake and claim it, so I opted to stay farthest away from the shower house and my neighbor. When we arrived, there was one other tent camper and no RV's. The wind came in very strong and my distant neighbor packed up and left. On this warm February evening, I had the entire park to myself.
There are not many trees around and the terrain is quite flat so if the wind picks up, it can be very strong. I made sure to stake the tent well so this was not a problem. There were some people in the park on the other side of the lake and a reception was taking place in the event center which is in the same building as the showers and laundry, but once the party across the lake broke up, there wasn't much noise. That is, with the exception of the trains. I'm not sure if it is normal or there was something special going on with the train yard a short distance away, but the trains were blowing their horns every 10 minutes or less throughout the entire night and they are definitely loud enough to keep even a moderate sleeper awake. However, the train noise was really the only negative thing I found about this location. I would definitely come back...with a set of earplugs.

Two Horse Wagon RV Park
Great place
Very quite working farm. The owners are very helpful and nice. Lots to explore in the surrounding area. Stays are limited to 6 months but it is well worth it. The price is exceptional for tight budgets.

Very peaceful
We spent one night here. Be careful about some of the pull through spaces as there are trees that might make it difficult for longer RVs to get into. Our space was nice and level, had water and electric, the bathrooms were so so. Clean but the showers could’ve used a little attention. We did do our laundry here which was relatively inexpensive. Nice hike through the woods. There were quite a few potholes on the road, coming back into the campground.

Still Recovering from Hurricane Helen
There are multiple RV sites available and they have a power supply as well as individual site fresh water RV in-line and RV waste water disposal lines. NEW picnic tables are also located on the plots. Several lamp posts and barbecue grills are in still in a state of disrepair due to the storm damage. This cute little area will bounce back better, but it needs the financial help of other RV enthusiasts to make it wonderful again.

Should be a City Park
Super tiny, tiny lake, in the middle of town, trails closed, maintenance ok, tons of ants, couple of nice sites with eater views although site 18 is right on top of the one to its left so terrible view. Good: fishing and full hookups.

Little Ocmulgee State Park & Lodge
Nice amenities except for campground
Park is not managed by GA DNR but instead a private company. They focus on the lodge, cabins and golf course. The campground is in terrible shape. Uneven sites, zero landscaping, zero fumigation (ants everywhere and while not fire ants, they bite), away from lake and hiking, feels like an afterthought. There is no store, so forget about buying anything. Hiking trail was nice, but we found (and picked up) garbage along the way. Going to the sports bar at the lodge was a welcomed retrieve from the mediocre campground and bugs. If you have little kids, there’s a splash pad and pool they would enjoy. I would not camp here during the warm months.
Guide to Hazlehurst
Tent camping near Hazlehurst, Georgia centers around the Altamaha River watershed, with several smaller campgrounds scattered within a 30-mile radius. The area sits in Georgia's coastal plain region with elevations under 300 feet and sandy soil conditions that drain quickly after rainfall. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, creating extended camping seasons compared to northern Georgia destinations.
What to do
River fishing access: Towns Bluff Park provides direct Altamaha River access where campers can fish for catfish, bass, and bream. The primitive camping area includes easy walking paths to fishing spots without requiring boat launch.
Trail exploration: DirtCamp offers dedicated hiking and biking trails accessible directly from tent sites. "I really enjoyed staying here this pasted weekend have a great time riding the trails camp spot was amazing aswell!!" notes camper La T. who visited DirtCamp.
Wildlife photography: Early mornings at Nine Point Properties provide opportunities to photograph local birds and wildlife. The six designated tent sites border natural habitat areas where deer and turkey are commonly spotted during dawn hours.

"We walked down to the river where the boat ramp is and there are also plenty of areas to explore and gather wood," reports Monte W., highlighting the convenient access to fire materials.

What you should know
Limited facilities: Most tent camping areas near Hazlehurst provide basic amenities only. While Towns Bluff offers water access, facilities like showers are uncommon throughout the region.
Site proximity: During peak weekends at Towns Bluff, the primitive camping area can become crowded with limited space between sites. Early arrival secures better spots with more privacy.
Seasonal considerations: October through April offers the most comfortable tent camping weather in Hazlehurst. Monte W. confirms October conditions with "75 as a high and upper 50's at night. Bugs were not much of an issue either."
Reservation requirements: Nine Point Properties requires advance reservations for all six tent sites, while Towns Bluff primitive camping operates first-come, first-served without reservations.
Tips for camping with families
Safety planning: Pack extra lighting for tent camping areas without electrical hookups. The distance between facilities at Towns Bluff requires flashlights for nighttime navigation.
Activity preparation: Bring fishing gear for children camping at Towns Bluff, as the river access provides easy shore fishing opportunities suitable for beginners.
Terrain considerations: Gaskin Springs Campground features a primarily flat camping area making tent setup easier for families with young children, though facilities remain minimal.
Meal planning: No markets exist within 5 miles of most Hazlehurst camping locations, requiring complete meal planning and food storage for family camping trips.
Tips from RVers
Alternative accommodations: While primarily tent-focused, Towns Bluff offers limited cabin options for RVers seeking a break from their vehicles or accommodating non-RV guests.
Dump station access: No dump stations exist at primary tent camping locations. RVers using DirtCamp must plan for waste management at facilities in Hazlehurst proper, approximately 15 miles from most camping areas.
Parking limitations: Marty B., who found "Very awesome camping" at DirtCamp, notes the compact parking areas require careful vehicle positioning for those with both RVs and tent equipment.
