Don’t waste your money
Extremely run down. Not even close to being a water park. Save your money and go to Splash in Milton or if just passing through stay at The Station across the highway for a better maintained and friendlier environment.

LegendGriffis 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.
Seth M.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.

History and peaceful
With a good collection of history and a story. Really a super nice place to stay.
Joel R.LegendOkefenokee 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!

GuideGriffis Fish Camp
Quiet camp with boat dock
We found this place using this app on a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. It is a small campground but well maintained. I just called ahead to make sure there were spaces available. Walter met us later that day. We settled at spot 13 with our 22 ft camper. A few sites have covered landings with fireplaces or fire pits. Ours had a fire pit. You can also take a short drive to the back of the property and put in a kayak or small boat into the Suwannee River. I would recommend this campground if you are looking for a quiet place to camp and/or visit the swamp. Walter was very nice and although the place is a little worn down it is well loved. It has also been around for a very long time. I will return.
Stuart K.LegendSpirit 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!
Guide to Lakeland
Glamping opportunities near Lakeland, Georgia include several unique waterfront destinations along the Suwannee River. The region sits at the Florida-Georgia border with predominantly flat terrain and a humid subtropical climate that averages 75°F during summer months. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, making luxury outdoor accommodations viable year-round with proper preparation.
What to do
Wildlife viewing at dusk: Griffis Fish Camp offers direct access to the Suwannee River where visitors can spot native wildlife. "With a good collection of history and a story. Really a super nice place to stay," notes Zachary F.
ATV adventures: Ragan Family Campground features dedicated trails for off-road enthusiasts. "This is such a great place for people with ATVs. We didn't have one so we just watched with major jealousy as people took to the trails and came back muddy," shares Ashlee R.
Canoe and kayak trips: Explore the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge's remote platforms via watercraft. "Spent 2 nights in the swamp. Rented canoes and took shuttle to Launch at kingfisher landing... 32 miles of total paddling through some varying environments," reports Mark H.
Trail exploration: Ride through extensive trail systems at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground. "Awesome park with 800 acres to hike, horseback, or take a golf cart thru the trails," says Greg D.
What campers like
Elevated platform camping: Holton Creek River Camp provides screened structures that balance comfort with nature. "The platforms are amazing. Power, fire ring, and running water. Hot showers also," explains Tyler R.
Riverside settings: Griffis Fish Camp offers peace and quiet along the Suwannee. "We found this place using this app on a trip to the Okefenokee Swamp. It is a small campground but well maintained... You can also take a short drive to the back of the property and put in a kayak or small boat into the Suwannee River," says Della S.
Family-friendly activities: Ragan Family Campground keeps children entertained. "Water park, lazy river, a park, fishing, and family activities. 10/10. Will be back," shares Brandi M.
Spacious waterfront sites: Paulk Park offers direct water access. "Cozy and great for self contained. Stayed here a week in October with one other camper, very quiet and peaceful. Will have locals visit during the day for the fishing pond," notes Never Sitting S.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Remote glamping locations may have connectivity issues. "I am currently wintering at Griffis Fish Camp and highly recommend it. Off the beaten path, a great place to rejuvenate. Cell service is very spotty but they installed a booster so you can get signal near the office," advises Karen S.
Highway noise considerations: Some sites near interstates experience road noise. "This is a great stopover since it has easy access to I-75 on the FL-GA line. The sites are shady and have many pull through concrete pad sites that are well maintained. The only reason I have given it a 4 star review, because of the traffic noise," explains Teresa S.
Seasonal bugs: Summer months bring insects, especially near water. "Our outfitter American Canoe Adventures makes our reservations for us. The Suwannee River river camps are spaced a days paddle apart and are wonderfully convenient (especially in summer when afternoon rains come daily and bugs are everywhere)," shares Jeanene A.
Site-specific limitations: Some campgrounds have unusual rules or limitations. "There's an adorable, and useful, store.. but i guess‽ because the lady running it had already put our packet outside on the 'late arrivals board' we sure felt less than welcomed when we pulled up around 4PM. The pool closes whenever the store does (its posted & printed that way)," notes Sara H.
Tips for camping with families
Secure valuables at riverside camps: Take precautions with equipment. "Always take paddles, PFD's, fishing equipment, food items and valuables to your camping area - do not leave in boats. There are raccoons and other nocturnal creatures and an occasional bear passing through," warns Jeanene A.
Book during weekdays for glamping near Lakeland: Avoid festival crowds at popular sites. "Gets a bit crowded when there is a festival," notes Nancy G. about Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
Consider entertainment options: Eagles Roost RV Resort provides convenient amenities for families. "The site a large and easy to get into. They have a well stocked store and a decent pool. There is a flea market right next door," shares David L.
Check pool hours: Operating times vary by location. "This was a nice little campground if you are just passing through. Dont be fooled by the words resort. Far from that. The pool closes when the office closes, which sucks because in the summer there is still 3 hrs of daylight left," advises Jonah J.
Tips from RVers
Dump station access: Confirm sewer hookup locations before arrival. "Even with 2 ten foot hoses I could not reach the hookup and ended up having to find a dump station later. They did have a dump station but I'm front of the office but with the way the driveway exited and the length of my trailer it would have been extremely hard to turn it to and go back in the entrance," shares Ashley W.
Pull-through site availability: Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Camping offers unique opportunities but requires preparation. "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!" explains Joel R.
Site dimensions: Consider your vehicle and equipment size. "Our pull-thru was level cement, maybe 68', which is more than we needed, surrounded by dirt that behaved like baked clay, and trees so wooly with spanish moss' you wonder when fleecing day is," describes Sara H.
