8. The Week's Place
Moultrie, Georgia1 Review•1 Photo•19 SavesThis is one of two South Georgia farms with a large pond on each. Camping is available near the road and on the back side of the property, well away from everything. Back side camping is walk-in. Pond-side camping will be mowed if you let us know a day or so ahead of time. Property on the back side is not mowed but has roads and firebreaks.
The property is managed for timber and row crops. During hunting season, the family may show up to hunt deer.
Fishing welcome in the pond. Double digit bass, 2 pound bream possible. Boat available, $20 a day. Life jackets required, $5 per jacket rental. Missing jacket or boat, we bill you $500. Please release carp as unharmed as possible. Other fish you can keep or release.
**DO NOT HARM THE OAK TREE NEXT TO THE POND. **If you need firewood, go around the pond into the woods and pick up any limbs you see. If you choose to go in the woods in deer season, please check at house first to see if anyone is in a stand and where.
This is a working farm. You may and hear see tractors, trailers, workers and irrigation systems. The irrigation sounds are actually soothing at night. Do not take any produce from the fields without permission. Check at the house first.
This location is 45 minutes or less away from attractions like

Great Location Away
First time, only been here a couple of days because of evacuation from Milton. Sites are nice size and some include a cabana. I suspect gets pretty busy during season. Strange there is no office.

Love this bright cherry KOA!
I love KOA because they are consistent… And I have a membership that gives me a bit of a discount. I find they are a good value as a rule. This one was really a surprise for the area which did not look that special but the KOA was so bright and cheery and wonderful. We’ve enjoyed it. They had great pull through a dog park lots of amenities and a super great park.

What a Pleasant Surprise
I have camped at many KOA campgrounds, and periodically, I've come across a shining star. This is one of those times. The staff at check-in was terrific, friendly, and just loved what they were doing. The campsites are well-spaced. The facilities are clean. My site A9 was a back-in site, newly added, with a gravel base, perfectly level, full hookups, and 96 channels of crystal clear cable TV. The internet speed was over the top. I was there for two nights and even got to spend time at the local bluegrass festival.

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground
Music Wonderland Camping Experience
I imagine that Suwannee Music Park Campground was borne out of the wonderful brainchild idea of someone who was fortunate enough to attend the original Woodstock back in ’69 and after leaving the upstate NY experience, woke up 3,000 miles away here on the shores of the Suwannee and said to themselves,“hey, why not try to create that experience here in NW Florida?!” And thus, this nature-embracing outdoor musical playground was given birth.
Let’s begin with the sheer size of this place: with 800+ acres and over 600 campsites to choose from, this thickly wooded sprawling campground expanse is massive. And when it comes to the camping itself, no matter what type you might be thinking of - from RV and 5th Wheelers to those towing Horse Trailers and, Primitive Camping and Treehouses as well as Cabins for lease, every type of outdoor camping is offered here.
The major attraction here, apart from the live music performances that get booked very frequently in this camping outpost, is the direct access you’ll have to the historic Cypress tree-lined Suwannee River, which is nothing short of fantastic if you enjoy paddling a kayak or canoe. If you are looking for something just as active but different, there’s a dedicated disc golf course as well as endless miles of trails, perfect for hiking and biking.
Other amenities include: horse stables, children’s playground, covered pavilions, a bird sanctuary, chapel, small lake with fishing dock (catch & release only), bat house (apparently the largest in the US), tree house, craft village, boat launch, barn museum, drum circle, horse wash / manure disposal, arcade game room with pinball machine, live music pavilions, shelters, potable water stations, karaoke, riverside beach, viewable bee hives, golf cart rental, designated dump stations, WiFi, on-site cafe and general store (firewood, ice, beer, T-shirts, hats and caps), bar and music hall, pickin’ shed, geocaching, rock waterfall, first aid stations, swimming pool (that also serves up ice cream and pizza poolside), multiple music stages, restrooms and shower facilities and Suwannee River dock. For the RV crowd, Suwanee Music Park offers 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage hook-ups.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) Despite being pretty far removed from civilization for those really wanting to embrace a nice chunk of untouched nature, I have to admit this place was overwhelmed with golf carts when we visited, which really takes away from the ambiance of being out in nature in the first place IMHO. Many times this place felt more like the Villages (the world's largest and most well-heeled retirement community located south of here in central Florida) than a remote camping outpost; (2) Should you need anything, the town of Live Oak is just a 20 minute drive south of here wherein you’ll find just about everything you are looking for, including a Busy Bee for excellent bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, Walmart Supercenter and Publix for groceries as well as just OK restaurants like Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, Zaxby’s and a Waffle House, but for actual really good food, keep on heading south to the center of town where you’ll find Big Wood BBQ & Grill, The 406 or Brown Lantern; (3) If you were fascinated by the drama, murder and mayhem on the Netflix series Tiger King, then head south of Live Oak to Mystic Jungle where you can see all of their amazing wild cats that normally you would only be able to see while on safari; (4) For my primitive tent pitching bredren, of all the amazing places to consider here, I would strongly recommend those primitive camping spots that are either located near the Bat House over just north and west of Farm Field or the primitive camping sites just east of Spirit Lake; (5) Only downsides include: very overcrowded in some places, lots of bugs (so be sure to bring the Citronella!), uneven land to pitch a tent in the primitive camping area, RV sites are pretty close to one another, WiFi is intermittent and weak in many places, ‘golf carts gone wild’ scenarios, lots of restrictions and rules (destroys that Woodstock vibe I thought we would find here), dated bathrooms will take you back to the 1970s; (6) Upsides include: incredibly friendly staff, very close to Highway 10 making this spot very easy and quick to access, incredibly well-stocked general store; and (7) For best bat viewing, come at dusk to watch them leave by the tens of thousands turning the sky dark, and then come before dawn to watch them all return while sipping your Americano in a lawn chair.
Happy Camping!

Nice GA Stste Park
Really liked this campground, I would return. Nice walking trails And you can also kayak down the river. Bathrooms are clean and kept up. I stayed in site 9 - it was a pull thru and very shady with a nice area in the back. Would choose that site again. Did put up the screen over the table as the gnats are fierce. Mosquitoes were there but not that bad
L&A C.LegendPerry KOA
Love this KOA
Such a fun time at the Forest Festival. Walked to it from the KOA. Didn’t use laundry but nice facilities and pool & hot-tub are clean and nice! Cute playground! Our site was my favorite yet! Cows and horses are on the property behind the KOA & come up to site 27! The site also has a swing and sunrise and sunsets are so beautiful across the pasture. The bench, table, fire ring at the site, is amazing! Staff is friendly and the store is stocked and cute. Mosquitos are bad so we had to use lots of bug spray.

Good for an overnight
Selected campground based on proximity to interstate. Loud traffic drove us to stay inside our camper instead of enjoying outside.
Site was unlevel and took three boards to fix side to side, disconnected from TV to fix fore/aft. Concrete pad was all the way forward on the site while connections were over midway back making it so we couldn’t use both easily. Had to park father back to reach connections which was where the site dropped off (causing us to use extra boards to level). We moved the picnic table back towards the camper, otherwise it would have been by our truck’s doors.
Bathrooms were clean, but dated with rusty stall doors. Be aware there are speed humps throughout the campground. No fire pit on our site, but other sites had them. Not sure if we were allowed a fire as such.
For overnight guests, I would recommend asking for sites up near the front of the park, as they appeared newer and more level, although less trees. I would avoid the row next to the bathrooms on the far side of the lake as they appeared to be the most unlevel, like the one we chose based on the website (site 41). Be aware that some of the outer ring sites in the wooded area on the far side are pull-in sites, not pull-thru or back-in, which could make it challenging if you want to drop your trailer and leave.
We would stay again in a pinch, but this isn’t a destination.

Excellent Stay
My family and I stayed here our first night with a camper without any camping experience. The facilities were great and hooking up was a breeze! I will be going back for a more extended stay but we just wanted to spend a night away with our new camper for this one.

Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park Campground
Great sites, great park and great paddling.
We loved this park. Our site was level and somewhat secluded with heavy vegetation between sites where we were. Site 6 is a pull-thru, level, 50 amp and water. No sewer. The park has great museums with very interesting history about Stephen Foster and the park itself.
Our primary reason for staying here was to paddle the Suwanee River. There is a local outfitter that will provide shuttle service if you have your own boats or they do have rentals available. We did the short trip due to time considerations, but thoroughly enjoyed the paddle.
We did eat at Fat Belly's in White Springs. It was good, reasonably priced and convenient.
We only stayed two nights, but would plan to stay longer if we get by this way again.

Another hurricane victim
Another KOA on our trip to circumnavigate Florida. Another KOA recovering from hurricane damage. But, they do have some things open: the rv sites are open, the dog park (a nice large dog park), the hot tub. They have propane and a limited store. There are also tent sites and cabins. Lots of large live oaks with Spanish moss survived the storm as well. It is about an hour from the Suwannee River State Park where you can see Manatees in the clear waters of the spring.

Never again
This place has some rude and unwelcoming staff. The lady who checked us in must not realize she works in the hospitality industry. It’s listed as a KOA “Holiday” but it must have been given that designation a very long time ago. All the amenities are very dated. The sites are narrow and very close together. Would not recommend.

Hwy noise
The restrooms and showers were nice and clean. There was only one picnic table in a tent area, and it was not in good shape. The road noise and night made it difficult to sleep at night

Beautiful
Pull thru site 2. Very shady and plenty of room. Restrooms and showers directly behind us, very clean and well maintained. Walked to the museum, learned a lot about Stephen Foster and all his music. Great park.

Fun filled 4 night stay
This campground has so much to offer for the kids. Between fishing, the pool, the water park, mining for gems and the 3 playgrounds around the park our son didn’t run out of activities. That’s not to mention to activities the campground plans for the weekends that they write on a board each morning with the times.

Lots to do
There's a water slide pool and lazy river. Cabins are pretty nice, there are atv trails if you have your own atv. You can rent golf carts, there's a store, games (not all of them work tho) pool table. Lots of fun for the whole family. Some of the staff had attitudes when we were there but still had a great time

Great stay
We used this as the base camp for the area.
Nice camp store/office. We bought wood & had a fire every night.
Bathrooms/showers are outstanding! Recently remodeled & very clean.
The road looks like it's been recently paved as well.
Nice pool/spa.
Our site was a full hookup pull through under large live oaks. It was KOA tight.
Only bad thing to say about it is it's a dirt site. Very messy, even though we had an outdoor rug.
One interesting thing at this KOA is their doggie sites. They have 2 sites that have a penned in yard for your dogs. I think it's brilliant! Probably the wave of the future.
Terry P.GuideStephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park Campground
Nice Park
This park has a nice balance of historical and natural features. The campsites are large with a gravel surface. Some are in a more open and grassy area and others have vegetation and more spacing between them. The outer back-in sites of the Suwannee and Canebreak loops have the densest vegetation and the most privacy. Most sites are partially shaded. Our site was nice, but in the sun from late morning until early evening. The bathrooms and campground were clean.
