Each site includes a fire pit and provides a unique farm-based equestrian experience. The Georgia International Horse Park also accommodates RV camping with facilities designed specifically for equestrian events and competitions.

Equestrian trails throughout the region connect to these campgrounds, giving riders multiple options for day trips from their base camp. Most horse camping facilities in the Pine Mountain area require reservations, especially during peak seasons when equestrian events draw competitors from across the region.

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    Horse owner or golfer this is the place for you and it’s only 45 minutes fr

    Nice campground, bathhouses exceptionally clean. Camped on a Sunday and Monday and was so peaceful with all of nature’s  sounds. There’s two lakes there but you need to take a short drive to get to the swimming beach and to better fishing. Golf course looks great, and  equestrian camping looked great too. Lots of easy hiking trails to explore.  A very  short drive from Atlanta make this campground a nice weekend camping getaway

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    PERFECT GETAWAY!

    We have camped at this beautiful park NUMEROUS times and there is a reason that we keep coming back (actually there are multiple reasons)!

    HLC has an amazing staff that is there when you need them and not there when you don't! The camp hosts are friendly, the Ranger rides through on a regular basis and is friendly/outgoing (you can tell that he enjoys his job)!

    The campground is not cramped at all and most of the sites are spread apart to provide privacy!

    Not long ago, as many of the GA State Parks are doing, HLC swapped over to "site-specific" reservations..meaning that you must choose a particular site when reserving. This is VERY useful if you're familiar with the campground and have a favorite site (such as we do) but it can be a shot in the dark if you're not familiar with the campground.

    The bath houses/comfort stations are brand new (including laundry rooms) and the camp hosts keep them spotless! The campground roads are newly paved and there are a couple of new sites.

    There are hiking trails, kayak rentals, a beach area (swimming) and two nice lakes! There are equestrian trails and even an equestrian campground!

    The park has numerous cottages to rent, a group shelter, picnic pavilions and even a mini-golf course (newly renovated)!

    Not far from the campground (in Rutledge, GA) there is a Dollar general in case you forgot something that the park store doesn't have.

    If you've never visited this beautiful park, ou are missing out on one of our hidden gems!

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    Far enough away, yet...

    Hard Labor Creek State Park is one of the Georgia State Park system's best kept secrets! Located just minutes away from Rutledge, GA, HLC seems like a whole world away! Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, HLC is still convenient to Rutledge and Madison, in case you forgot to pack something.

    HLC features hiking trails, mini golf, newly "renovated" campsites that include two BRAND new bathhouses (comfort stations). The comfort stations have restrooms/showers, as well as two family restroom/shower facilities. The comfort stations also feature vending machines (drinks) and a laundry facility!

    Kayak rentals, a beach/swimming area and numerous special programs are available!

    Cell phone service is very spotty in the park but that is alright with us, camping is about getting AWAY and enjoying the outdoors, not staring at your electronic devices!

    If golf is your thing, HLC has a beautiful 18-hole golf course!

    Ocmulgee River Camp

    Nice mostly quiet spot

    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. Had a lot of neighbors on a weekday night - and a mystery trailer with no activity and no truck to pull it. Overall pretty easy gravel road to get to it, was a little buggy since it was humid and by the river but not too bad.

    Big Country Camping

    Small Campground, Big Appeal

    Small, family owned campground in a rural area has a comforting, relaxing atmosphere where you feel like family. We are first time RVers and were nervous about our Shakedown trip. Rob and Matt walked my husband through every step with “insider” tips. Mindy was so welcoming and gave me lots of good ideas while the guys set up. She is also the best hostess organizing food, fun, and friendship by the pool. We will definitely be back!!!

    Big Country Camping

    Peaceful, Quiet, Large Campsites

    Very nice owners. Very quiet and peaceful location. I had a full hookup site. Owners helped me get situated. Loaned me a water hose.  Felt very safe here. Beautiful sunrise. Excellent cell signal which is important since I work remotely from my camper.

    Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground

    Quiet, rural state park camping

    This campground has a great rural state park vibe. If you’re weekending -it’s nice. The sites are pretty private & woodsy. Kids can ride bikes everywhere, play some putt-putt or on the playground, go fishing or take them to the lake beach (just a short drive away-5 minutes).
    If you’re into golf-looks like a nice course. If you’re planning to remote work from here-forget it. We had absolutely no service, even weak cell service. You’re also away from town/groceries/restaurants.
    Bottom line is it’s a fun place to weekend/feel pretty remote but not ideal for full timers who still work/school online.

    Awesome stay at Big County

    Had a great time hanging out at the pool and very spacious camp site. Will definitely be going back there when we can get away from work for a few days.
