Camping in this region typically requires advanced planning during summer months when temperatures and humidity peak. Roads are generally well-maintained, with most campgrounds accessible via paved highways. "We stayed in site 72 on Camping area #3. It faced the woods with a walking path.

Many campgrounds feature full hookups for RVs, while tent sites often include water access, picnic tables, and fire rings.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Georgia Veterans Memorial SP. we stayed in site 72 on Camping area #3. It faced the woods with a walking path."
"This campground is a hidden little gem in Middle Georgia.
The only reason we only give it 4 stars is because you have to call for reservations and some of the pads could use some clean up."
"We were in a section behind the office. Set up was on grass. you picked your own spot. Was level and power was fine ( we use 30 amp ) Some areas have shade and some are in the open."

GuideIf you're looking for a quiet place to be. This is a nice campground with spacious sights, gravel roads and pave roads plenty of good walking areas and fishing in the pond, awesome bathhouse minutes from town walmart. Good restaurants and ice cream shops. Cochran is a nice quiet little town.
RangerThe people are wonderful but the maintenance and facilities of this KOA are one star.
No AC in the restrooms. Grass up past our ankles (lawnmower was broken) It rained so, we woke up to having to pack up in the mud. We were placed in what appeared to be an overflow field that was full sun until after 5 pm.
Not worth $65
Kids did however really enjoy the pool.
GuideNo sewer hook up at all sites. Electric looks new. Beautiful lake. Quiet campground.
ScoutAlthough off the beaten path, it was easy to find and easy to park. Some locals at various times, but we were the only over-nighters. It was quiet and serene with several places to park.
ScoutI've personally enjoyed camping here. But, My Momma, not so much.
My mother was walking away from the older restrooms, near the gate, walking down a one way road, where a vehicle aggressively passed her in the wrong direction coming from a hosts location. Was it the host? Or a guest of theirs? We don't know.
She felt, as they were passing her, against the one way, taken back, like they were going to hit her, and aggressively. Coming from ''The Brown's, From Vienna"*(or Smiths?) camphost site.
She made me aware.
The following evening as we were walking to the restrooms, the same people drove against the 'one-way traffic' from the camphost site. She pointed it out to me... and honestly, it looked like they flicked us off as they drove away.
This was a Mother's Day gift, for a girls weekend. Ruined by the campground hosts.
TravelerLots of shade very nice and quiet reasonably priced
ScoutWhat a charming little place. Great showers houses, propane filling station, laundry on site and lots of tails to hike or ride ATV’s but my favorite part is the farm animals and the host. They are super sweet.
GuideThe previous reviews are outdated and so is the campground. It is so important to review every stay so we are all up to date. Bathrooms were small and dirty. Only one bathroom/shower combo for women and one for men. If someone is using the bathroom, you need to wait. This place is okay in a pinch, but that’s it.
RangerWas pretty quiet, just the train sounds.
