Best Campgrounds near Hoboken, GA

Campgrounds near Hoboken, Georgia serve as gateways to the coastal plains and river systems of southeastern Georgia. The area features established campgrounds like Laura S Walker State Park and Stephen C. Foster State Park, both offering year-round access for tent camping, RV sites, and cabin accommodations. Several properties in the region provide boat-in camping options, particularly those situated along the Altamaha River Basin and St. Mary's River. Most campgrounds maintain standard amenities including electric hookups, water access, and shower facilities, with several offering full-service RV sites with 30 and 50-amp connections.

Road conditions throughout the region remain generally good with many campgrounds accessible via paved highways, though some more remote areas like Dixon Memorial WMA may require careful navigation on unpaved roads. Summer visitors should prepare for high humidity, frequent afternoon thunderstorms, and temperatures consistently in the 90s from June through September. Insect activity peaks during warmer months, with sand gnats being particularly prevalent in coastal areas. Flooding can affect riverfront campgrounds during heavy rain periods, particularly in spring. According to one visitor, "This area of SE Georgia is known for its population of sand gnats. They are very active in the mornings and evenings when the humidity and temperatures are high."

The camping experience near Hoboken centers around water access and dense forest ecosystems. Crooked River State Park receives consistently high ratings for its proximity to Cumberland Island National Seashore and well-maintained facilities. Several campgrounds feature Spanish moss-draped live oaks creating atmospheric camping environments typical of coastal Georgia. Wildlife sightings commonly include deer, raccoons, and a variety of bird species, with alligators present in many water bodies. Campers note the excellent fishing opportunities, particularly in the dark waters of the St. Mary's River and nearby lakes. One camper described the area as having "pristine natural surroundings, Spanish moss drenched ancient Oaks and Cypress, small twisting little river joints that will slowly have you navigate your way down the very murky dark waters of the St. Mary's River."

    Crooked River State Park Campground

    Great for Starlink and power — perfect overnight stop

    We stayed one night with a tent, and our main priorities were having a reliable Starlink connection and 110V power at the site. This campground delivered both— no issues with connectivity.

    I specifically chose a site with a clear view of the sky to the NNE, and it worked perfectly. The tent sites are definitely oversized and offer zero privacy, but for our needs— a quick overnight stop with internet and power— it was a great fit.

    Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

    Quiet, close to okefenokee wildlife refuge

    Located right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !

    Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Camping

    Remote wilderness camping

    The Okefenokee wildlife refuge has about 12 remote camping platforms located out in the swamp. They are only accessible by canoe or kayak. They offer no service except an elevated platform to keep you above the water and out of reach of alligators!

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nice campground for a short stay.

    This is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.

    General Coffee State Park Campground

    Still recovering from Helen

    Came in June 2025. Only one trail open and it’s not the one with access to swamp. The park has beautiful bone structure and I’m sure once fixed, it will be great. But as of now, very limited hiking. We did not visit farm but it seemed cute as well as its little lake where we saw brim and bass. Campground 1 is on an unpaved but well packed dirt road. Sites are small with limited privacy but very quaint. Campground 2 has a paved main road, with bigger sites and more privacy. All sites are pull thru. Outer ones give you access to the nature trail (closed except for small loop). Because it’s near the swamp, it is hot, humid and buggy. Bring your thermacells.

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nicely kept, not much to do

    The camping area is very small, with sites close to each other and no privacy (flat area, tall pines without vegetation between sites). Having said that, it was pretty quiet; mostly used by retirees. It has a cute dog park, with areas for large and small pups. It has clean bathrooms and washer dryer that accepts apple pay. Park has a tiny beach for its tiny lake. Unfortunately, the very small lake is used by jet skiers and ski boats so very loud and no good for swimming, paddling or fishing except really early or late in the day. Two short trails are cute with tortoises. The bugs are enthusiastic so if you’re not ready to bathe in DEET, you will pay the price. Good park to spend the night on the way somewhere.
