      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.

      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.

      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.

      Vidalia Sweet Onion RV Park

      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.

      Cute little campground

      Open field campground with minimal amenities (no bath/showers) and FHU. Off the main roads and very quiet. Farm animals and trails a plus.

      Jack Hill State Park

      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.

      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.

      Jack Hill State Park

      Perfect For First Camping Trip

      This place was great! It was our first camping trip as a family. We had the one tent only site. It was so quiet…until we got there…then our little kiddos were loud haha. It was actually perfect for our kids, we didn’t even get to do all the activities in our two night stay. We fished but didn’t catch anything. We did however see two small alligators in the lake! We were a little bummed the nature trail was still closed due to the hurricane Helene damage. There was a main road nearby but if you can handle the noise of a few passing cars then you won’t have any problems. Bathrooms were clean, staff was very welcoming and helpful, and campground was very clean. We plan to go back!
