    Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground

    4.7 stars

    This review is for an early winter stay. The 500 loop was beautiful, with tall pines dominating the flora and creating a serene setting. The sites on the outside of the loop are wonderful- large, private and forested; whereas the inner sites were facing the road in many cases. We had 505 and my parents had 515, and both were really good. We played in the forest a lot with the kids, building a shelter and climbing trees. There is a small playground in the 500 loop. The other camping loops didn't look quite as private. The park is super close to Callaway Gardens, so we were able to check in and get setup on Friday late afternoon and still get to see the Holiday Light show at Callaway, which is pricey but very cool and worth a one time experience. The state park itself is huge, spanning at least 15 miles with trails throughout. There is one trail that is over 20 miles. The lookout where FDR spent time and had a picnic spot was stunning. We also really enjoyed the Cascade Falls trail, which had several small waterfalls along the way. This park leaves little to be desired for a weekend camping getaway.

    Bama Bison Farm

    Great Location. Nice and quiet.

    Great site.  Would stay here again.  Nice and quiet.  Not a lot of spots, so not over crowded or anything.  Lot's of space to walk around and enjoy the scenry.  Pond on property with bridge crossing it.  Full hookups (sewer, water, and 50 amp service).  Would recommend.

    Blanton Creek Park Georgia Power

    F. D. Roosevelt camping.

    Our stay at F.D. Roosevelt Campground was a mix of beautiful nature and frustrating logistics.

    📅 Reservation Issues One of the biggest challenges we experienced was trying to secure a campsite on short notice. The reservation system felt rigid — same-day bookings weren’t available online, which made planning last-minute trips difficult and stressful. The online reads like same day walk ups are non existent.

    🚿 Cleanliness of Facilities The bathrooms and showers generally stayed clean and maintained.

    💰 Pricing for Tent Camping For tent camping, the nightly rate felt on the high side compared to what you’d expect — particularly if you’re just pitching a basic tent without hookups or extra amenities. We paid $43 per night here for a simple tent stay. It felt a bit steep for what you get unless you’re taking full advantage of the trails, lakes, or historical sites.

    🌲 Overall Vibe While the setting is beautiful and there’s plenty to do around the park — from hiking trails to nearby historic spots — the combination of reservation headaches and cost for basic camping made our experience a bit of a mixed bag.

    Florence Marina State Park

    Nice Park, Large, well-spaced sites

    We found the campground to be clean and quiet, with large sites (full hookups) and good spacing between sites. We only had about 2 bars of Verizon LTE, fine for phone calls but not great for surfing or streaming.

    Florence Marina State Park Campground

    Quiet yet close sites

    Stayed here for 3 days to go visit Providence canyon which was a 15-minute drive down the road. Sites were close together, no playground in the campsite. Staff was amazing and helpful.

    Kings Pond/ Fort Benning

    Primitive and Cozy for Vets

    I have a 5th wheel and its pretty flat gravel roads, no electric or sewage or water; only a pit toilet) must be self sufficient to stay here. Its free and at night can be noisy due to the boot camp training (you’ll hear gunshots and artillery in the distance) but otherwise no one bothers you. We stayed with a generator and there is a gas station near by (roughly 4-5 miles away)

    Ramsey RV Park

    Quiet and affordable

    We stayed here two weeks. It is quiet. I have not used any facilities. It was fair pricing. I plan on returning. I had space 5. I like this as no one ever parked in front of me so I had green views from three sides which is nice as I like to have the windows and blinds open. Also being in this space allowed us to have Internet. Staff was helpful and friendly. We took walks around park and it was quiet. We commuted to Thomaston for two weeks which was about a 30 min drive. The roads are easy to drive and the area here in Georgia is peaceful and lovely.

What to do

Kids on bikes seemed to be having a ball, mostly relaxing and if your into fishing for adults," notes one visitor.

Waterfront recreation: Shoreline swimming spots provide alternatives to developed beaches. "We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful.
