  Stephen C. Foster State Park Campground

  Nice facilities, beautiful nature.

  Nice bathrooms and laundry facility. Some short hiking trails and lots of kayaking waterways and launch not far from campground.

  Griffis Fish Camp

  Rustic to the Point of Unsettling

  There was something about pulling into Griffis Fish Camp that immediately made me grip my coffee a little tighter, like we’d stumbled into a place frozen somewhere between forgotten and still quietly functioning. The campground itself felt EXTREMELY rustic and VERY loosely laid out, more like a scattering of spaces than a defined campground, with 4–5 makeshift open-air shelters (honestly, almost shack-like), each with small chimneys that gave the whole place a slightly eerie, backwoods feel. Amenities were minimal (at best) and not particularly family-friendly, with no clear structure or sense of upkeep, and while the boys were initially curious, it didn’t take long before that curiosity turned into a bit of unease. One of the more memorable moments was wandering a bit down the back trails and unexpectedly coming across a few massive black boars, which definitely got our attention and sped up our decision-making process. From what we saw, there really isn’t a 'best campsite' here in the traditional sense, but if you were to stay, choosing a spot closer to the main entrance might feel a bit more comfortable than venturing deeper into 'backyard' the property. In the end, we decided this wasn’t the right fit for our family and packed up to head over to Stephen C. Foster State Park Campground, which offered much cleaner facilities, a more structured layout along with an overall environment that felt far more welcoming and appropriate for families.

  Reed Bingham State Park Campground

  Spacious Level Site

  We stay here often on trips north & south on I-75. Full hookups. Huge level sites. Sand gnats in summer! Clean new bath houses. Nice network of roads for e-bikes! Staff (Shannon) is the BEST! Took lots of time with us to straighten out issues online with our Friends of State Parks pass, etc.

  Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

  Great Experience with Possible Twists

  If coming in from the east/Tallahassee on I-10, avoid Exit 241 (Madison/Greenville). Approaching from US-90 requires sharp right turns to reach the campground( CG). Instead, take Exit 251 for an easier left turn onto the CG road. This was our sixth year staying at the resort, and check-in at the office remained the same under the new ownership. After checking in, we proceeded to back-in buddy site 60A with full hookups to meet friends in site 60. One change involved the golf process, as we needed to go to the golf course clubhouse to pay for a golf package, then return to the office to pick up a golf cart. Water pressure was acceptable at around 40 psi. Cell service showed 3 bars on T-Mobile and 2 bars on Verizon. CG Wi-Fi was on the slower side with download speeds around 7 Mbps, so we relied on T-Mobile Home Internet, which consistently delivered speeds in the 200 Mbps range. The CG has relatively few trees, so satellite service was not an issue. The local Winn-Dixie has closed, leaving Bob& Jim’s Market as the primary grocery option in town, with Dollar General carrying a limited selection of basics. Prices at Bob& Jim’s were on the higher side. An Aldi was renovating the former Winn-Dixie building during our stay and was expected to open in about six months. For broader shopping and services, the nearest major amenities are in Live Oak, about 30 miles away. During our two-month stay, we learned that the new ownership planned to renovate the golf course and facilities into an executive 9-hole course, with construction scheduled to begin April 14, 2026, and a projected reopening in the fall or winter timeframe. Plans also included removing the first two holes near the entrance to add additional RV sites, bringing the total site count to around 200. Based on our experience, we plan to return again next year.

  Dixon Memorial WMA - Hunter Camp

  True Backcountry Georgia

  There is something beautifully wild about Dixon Memorial WMA, where the road narrows, the pine flatwoods open up endlessly and you quickly realize you are far from camp stores, strip malls and creature comforts. This massive wildlife management area offers dispersed primitive camping rather than a structured campground (meaning you are essentially choosing your own sandy clearing among longleaf pines, palmettos, and quiet forest roads). There are no developed amenities to speak of here: no bathhouses, no playgrounds, no hookups, just open land occasional fire rings left by prior campers, and the sounds of wind through the trees. The boys thought it was exciting at first, especially when we spotted deer tracks in the sand and listened for owls at dusk, but without designated facilities or nearby services, it quickly felt more like true backcountry camping than a manageable overnight stop for a family with younger kids. Since there are no marked sites, the best choice is to select a well-cleared area set back from the main dirt roads for added privacy and safety. While Dixon Memorial is likely a dream for seasoned hunters, equestrians or campers seeking deep solitude, for families wanting even basic campground structure, this one leans firmly into primitive territory and may be better suited for older kids or adults prepared for a fully self-contained adventure.

  Paulk 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.

  General Coffee State Park Campground

  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.
