What campers like
Abundant space for horses: The equestrian camping setup near Perry provides ample room for horses and owners. "This place is HUGE!! As others have said, the sites are a little close together and there's some traffic noise, but neither bothered me very much," notes Danna D. about Fair Harbor RV Park.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the well-maintained amenities. "They have a little convenience store with camping gear you may have forgotten (or didn't know you needed!), souvenirs, food, and other essentials. The bathrooms are nice," reports Danna D.

What you should know
Campground noise levels: While convenient to I-75, some campers note the highway sound. "This campground isn't super remarkable (lots of RV's in close proximity, noise from the interstate). But its bathrooms/showers are brand new and kept very clean," shares Kelsey G.
Wi-Fi limitations: Internet access has constraints worth planning around. "WiFi here is so-so and you often get booted off. On there website they say WiFi is free with stay. But once we got there we learned we were capped at 1 GB per day. You can buy more for $15," notes Kelsey G.
Check-in procedures: The registration process at Ocmulgee River Camp differs from established campgrounds. "Very nice a bit bumpy on the drive in but no major holes. Quiet and peaceful 2 neighbors great amount of space to find a nice spot," reports J A. about this dispersed camping option.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Kids enjoy the natural encounters at Lake Sinclair Campground. "It was a nice area. We were on campsite 11 right by a little fishing pier. Nice views of the lake from the campsite. Lots of wildlife noises at night," describes Samuel G.
Seasonal considerations: Be prepared for Georgia's summer heat when camping. "It was nice and warm even in December! Almost 70 degrees! Spot with a nice horse trail to hike - saw some deer and a mystery black animal, maybe a boar or a bear - unsure," explains SJ W. about outdoor exploration.
