    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.

    Whitewater Creek Park

    Quiet and Great value

    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.

    But you can’t beat the price for full hookup sites at $35/night ($150/week)

    Whitewater Creek is run by Macon county and only has one dedicated employee.

    Most sites are more than spacious but double check your length when you book. A few of the sites are kind of short.

    Just keep in mind this is NOT an RV resort it is a locally run campground.

    Rood Creek Park Camping

    Perfect Spot

    Perfect camp spot. Drove a dirt road through farmland about a mile or so and took a left at the end towards the campground. Only one other campsite taken. Each site has a trash can and a picnic table. It was awesome. Had my own bathroom setup, so didn’t check theirs out, but they have a small facility. We did see a small gator in the creek. Woke up to fog on the water. It was beautiful!

    Also had 1-2 bars of service with T Mobile.

    Chewacla State Park Campground

    Close to Buc-ees and I-85!

    I called on Sunday afternoon and immediately connected to a young lady who assured me that a site was available. The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility). There are glamping tents for rent. Several hiking trails, including a waterfall trail are inside the gate checkpoint. The park is close to town, meaning abundance of food options and cheap gas (2.499) on June 6, 2025.

    R. Shaefer Heard Campground

    Beautiful Privacy, Brutal Bathrooms, and Locked Gates at Night

    We stayed here in June, Thursday through Monday, two people with a tent. The experience was... memorable, though not always for the right reasons. 

    The bathhouses are something out of a post-apocalyptic travel journal— rusted fixtures, broken tiles, and enough cockroaches and spiders to start a nature documentary. Yes, they are“cleaned” occasionally, but whatever’s happening isn’t winning the war. They’re not just in the mist of past centuries— they’re lost in a heavy, choking fog. 

    Facilities are very limited, and it’s clear this campground wasn’t designed with tent campers in mind. You’ll wait in line for restrooms, and you won’t enjoy it. 

    The sites themselves? Old, worn, and could desperately use even a single coat of fresh paint— but the lawns are mowed, and the forest is real. If you value privacy, you’ll love the layout: each site is tucked deep into the woods, with excellent space and seclusion.

     But beware: the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy. Installing a simple keypad would save everyone time and dignity. 

    Starlink users: take note— if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky. Reception through the trees was very poor. 

    Wildlife is busy here— armadillos, raccoons, and rabbits all feel quite at home on your tent pad. It’s charming, if you’re into that kind of thing. 

    The lake sees constant activity: motorboats, water skiing, even boats creeping along at night. It’s not peaceful water. If you came to paddle in silence or sleep early, this might not be your dream spot— unless the noisy party crowd is your own.

The region experiences mild winters with occasional freezes and humid summers where temperatures routinely reach the 90s.

What to Do

Hiking adventures: Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground features over 40 miles of trails for various skill levels. As camper Katie A. notes, "Many gorgeous hiking trails, several starting from the camping area," making it convenient to explore directly from your site.

Watercraft rentals: At Sprewell Bluff Park, visitors can enjoy the Flint River with rented equipment. "The picnic and general visitors area by the river was busy when we arrived but we still had plenty of area to explore. I did not check on watercraft rentals for the area but there was a boatramp on site and a few kayaks were in the water," reports camper Shelly S.

Kid-focused activities: Several campgrounds organize activities specifically for children. Joshua H. from Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground shares, "They have a lot of stuff to do there. We fished and swam, they also had a scavenger hunt that you kids loved doing."

What Campers Like

Spacious, wooded sites: Blanton Creek Campground gets high marks for its well-designed camping areas. According to Liz H., "Sites are very large with good space between them. Most are shaded, level, gravel with picnic tables, large fire ring, lots of space for chairs."

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention the maintenance standards across area campgrounds. Tracy from Blanton Creek Park reports, "They had the cleanest bathhouse I have ever seen and a resident who had been there a while said they clean the bathrooms several times a day."

Wildlife viewing: The natural setting offers opportunities to spot local fauna. At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, Denis P. shares, "Wildlife is busy here— armadillos, raccoons, and rabbits all feel quite at home on your tent pad. It's charming, if you're into that kind of thing."

What You Should Know

Gate closure hours: Some campgrounds restrict nighttime access. At R. Shaefer Heard Campground, "the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy," cautions Denis P.

Seasonal flooding: Water levels can affect campsite accessibility and amenities. Denis P. notes at R. Shaefer Heard, "if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky."

Additional fees: Pine Mountain RV Resort has specific payment policies to be aware of. Larry M. warns, "There is only one thing I find as a negative. There new policy of full (non-refundable) payment is now required when you make your reservation. Unless you want to pay an up charge for your nightly rate."

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground access: When selecting a site, consider proximity to play areas. Joshua H. shares about Franklin D Roosevelt State Park, "We camped in campground 5 and from where our site was we could see the playground and also let our kids ride there bikes around the circle that the camp sites where on."

Swimming options: Pine Mountain RV Resort offers multiple water recreation options for different ages. Aaron C. explains, "The pool area has a kids pool and hot tub along with the regular inground pool."

Lake activities: Choose lakefront sites for easier water access with children. Justin W. recommends R. Shaefer Heard Campground: "We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful. Right beside the water so the kids were able to play in the water most of the time."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: At Blanton Creek, campers note varying terrain. Stacy H. advises, "Small rigs can pretty much enjoy any spot but larger rigs need to be sure that the site is level for the length of the rig. Some spots have a driveway that goes downhill from the camper and others go uphill from the camper which might be an issue for 5th wheels."

Electrical capacity: Some campgrounds have limitations with power. Brittany from Pine Mountain RV Resort notes, "30 amp circuit was not adequate. The breaker continually tripped while using small kitchen appliances."

Convenience stops: Plan for supplies when staying at more remote campgrounds. Brittany adds about Pine Mountain RV Resort, "We really appreciated the trash pickup twice a day and the Dollar General that was only a 1/4 mile down the road."
