Best Campgrounds near Brunswick, GA

485 Reviews

Several good camping spots near Brunswick, Georgia, keep you close to both history and coastal environments. Fort McAllister State Park sits along the Ogeechee River, combining historical sites with camping that includes clean restrooms and shower facilities. Crooked River State Park Campground has enough room for both tents and RVs in a coastal setting. You'll see plenty of wildlife in these areas, so keep your food secured in containers or your vehicle. During dry periods, the parks sometimes limit campfires, so check the current rules before your trip. Both parks fill up quickly in busy seasons, making advance reservations a smart move. The Brunswick area contains different types of ecosystems that make for good birdwatching and hiking. Remember that Georgia state parks typically limit stays to 14 days. If you plan to fish while camping, you'll need to get the proper permits first. Many campers prefer visiting in spring or fall instead of dealing with Georgia's hot summers. Brunswick combines natural areas and historical sites for a well-rounded camping trip.

    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    Lovely beach camping, good bathrooms, watch out for cacti and locked gates

    Stayed for three nights at the upper Fort Clinch sites, there are six tent sites and a good number of RV spots.

    Check-in is 3 PM but the ranger station closes at 5 and gates lock shortly after. I called in advance and received a gate code. Ranger station only opens at 10:30 so I didn't see them for my entire stay, but very nice folks on the phone.

    Tent sites provide water no power. RV sites are a mix, have to check individual site description. Free dump site.

    Bathrooms are big, clean, with toilet paper and hand soap.. Showers are free and decent. Coin laundry available.

    Tent site was relatively level, be careful to stay inside the "corral," I went out (but not past the protected area sign) and got bit by cacti.

    Beach is lovely and quiet.

    Heat index was over 100 so didn't do much hiking, but this was a really nice place to spend a few nights. I do wonder if the river campsites on the other side of the park might be cooler and offer hammock opportunities.

    Park is huge, lots to explore when weather permits.

    Lots of bugs but basic precautions handled it. There was also a turtle burrow behind the tent site, and saw a bunch of little deer!

    Atlantic Beach Campground — Fort Clinch State Park

    Great tents sites

    I really like this State Park for tent camping. It's right next to the beach, very clear facilities, and great (unshaded) tent sites.

    Will definitely stay here again.

    Little Talbot Island State Park Campground

    Beachfront Bliss But Swamplike Campground

    There’s very few SPs in Florida that will put you right on or near the ocean as Little Talbot Island SP does. And to be clear, this CG isn’t RIGHT on the beach, but you’ll just have to cross the street, after hiking or biking 100 yards from the campground, to reach the amazing white caps here. As my post from 2½ years ago provided quite a bit of detail on this campground, I’m following up on that review by sharing more fotos as well as providing a topline update:

    Highlights: (1) Very quick access to the Atlantic Ocean – and the beaches here are not crowded and incredibly well-maintained - some of the cleanest I've ever encountered; (2) Solid peace & quiet surrounded by ancient live oaks just dripping with Spanish moss; (3) Amazing kite-surfing just due south of here at Huguenot Memorial Park; (4) The SP Rangers are incredibly friendly, helpful and very professional; (5) Approximately 4 miles of excellent paved biking / walking on the Timucuan Trail that runs parallel to A1A; (6) For anyone wanting to take iconic photos next to the ocean, go check out Boneyard Beach that has hundreds of salt-washed skeletons of live Oak, Cypress and Cedar trees; (7) Call upon Kayak Amelia for a guided tour of the estuaries; (8) Key-coded security gate provides solid safety, especially being located right next to A1A, where the opportunity for random, wandering visitors exist; (9) Bring your own kayak and canoe as there are access points to launch from right near the campground; and (10) Should you want to ‘get off the reservation’ you just need to head north to Amelia Island where you’ll have no shortage of AMAZING restaurants to choose from and there’s also a well-appointed Harris Teeter that has wood and ice for sale as well as just about anything you might need to stock up on

    Lowlights: (1) While functional and fairly clean, the restroom and shower facilities are in dire need of refurbishment; (2) The sites are fairly unlevel with roots from the ancient and live Oaks popping up here and there making it very difficult to find a decent level patch of ground to set up camp; (3) Some of the sites have dips and depressions in them, making those particular areas prone for flooding – which happened to us; and (4) Mosquitos, midges and bugs exist here in swarms that never go away … so bring your repellent as well as smoke fogger machine!

    Happy Camping!

    Crooked River State Park Campground

    Great for Starlink and power — perfect overnight stop

    We stayed one night with a tent, and our main priorities were having a reliable Starlink connection and 110V power at the site. This campground delivered both— no issues with connectivity.

    I specifically chose a site with a clear view of the sky to the NNE, and it worked perfectly. The tent sites are definitely oversized and offer zero privacy, but for our needs— a quick overnight stop with internet and power— it was a great fit.

    Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

    Quiet, close to okefenokee wildlife refuge

    Located right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nice campground for a short stay.

    This is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.

    Laura S Walker State Park Campground

    Nicely kept, not much to do

    The camping area is very small, with sites close to each other and no privacy (flat area, tall pines without vegetation between sites). Having said that, it was pretty quiet; mostly used by retirees. It has a cute dog park, with areas for large and small pups. It has clean bathrooms and washer dryer that accepts apple pay. Park has a tiny beach for its tiny lake. Unfortunately, the very small lake is used by jet skiers and ski boats so very loud and no good for swimming, paddling or fishing except really early or late in the day. Two short trails are cute with tortoises. The bugs are enthusiastic so if you’re not ready to bathe in DEET, you will pay the price. Good park to spend the night on the way somewhere.
