        Come pitch your tent just outside of our animal pasture with zebu cows, sheep, 5 baby goats and adults and lots of chickens. We have several sites to choose from. We are a working homestead. We are a campground in-process of being built over 100 acres, however 80 acres were just cleared but still have 10-15 acres that are wooded and ready for camping with fire pits, picnic tables and access to visit the farm animals during hours of 10am-4pm. Animal snack paks will be given to each guest at check in.

        Escape to a private campsite in rural Alabama. The property is surrounded by forest and wildlife. There are several places to hang a hammock and plenty of room for outdoor games like cornhole. Enjoy making smores by the campfire and gazing at the stars.

        The city of Columbus is about 25 minutes away and offers white water rafting, zip lining, axe throwing, a river-walk, and other activities. There are plenty of lakes and rivers to go fishing. Auburn is about 40 mins away.

        The site offers an outhouse, fire pit, fire pit grill rack for cooking, platform (which can be used for small/medium tents) and a hiking trail that is about 1/3 of a mile.

        Please note, the site has a road but during heavy rain the road can accumulate mud. Suggest 4-wheel drive vehicles for rainy conditions. Otherwise, cars are able to access campsite and park at site. Hipcampers can also park at the front of the property and walk about .25 miles to site if unable to drive. Please message me beforehand if you are worried about driving conditions.

        The property is surrounded by hunting land so please be mindful of property lines and do you best to stay on the trail. Also, expect gunshots in the distance every once in a while.

        Property also has natural wildlife like coyotes, snakes, spiders, ants, etc.. Alabama can also get very hot during June, July, August. Please prepare accordingly.

        My wife and I bought this property in 2021 with the goal of turning this land into a homestead. She is currently in the army. My mom and stepfather live at the front of the property and will be able to help accommodate you if needed. Meeting at the front of the property is not needed.

        Gorgeous spot to stay

        Great communication with staff. Location is right off the highway but the camp grounds are deep in the state park so it’s so quiet and beautiful. The marina is home too so many boats and fishermen but that’s about 3 miles from the camp spot. Love it!

        No waterfront… no problem

        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. It was very private with the exception of the occasional hiker. So it was very nice to feel so secluded.

        Camp grounds

        As long as we been coming has it been this bad. Grass is over ankles. Roads has holes everywhere. Bathhouse needs so much updates. Shower stall are not clean very well.  We asked if someone could come and dig little trench so water could run off. Hasn’t seen anyone yet. Very disappointed with this vacation here this time

        Nice, very quiet, heavily wooded CG

        We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 27 for 2 days in late April. The CG itself is clean, well maintained, but some of the facilities are showing their age and are in need of repair. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The site pads themselves are concrete and most looked to be pretty level. Most of the sites were fairly well spaced. The CG, at least during the week, was very quiet and peaceful. There were only about a dozen campers while we were there.   Other reviews mentioned ant issues, but we did not encounter any issues.

        AT&T coverage was weak, with 1 bar of LTE service w/o a booster and speeds up to 0.5 MB/s and 2 bars of 5G service and speeds up to 0.7 MB/s with a booster. The CG heavily wooded, so we had no line-of-site to the DISH satellites, but did have a partial view to the NE from the front of the site, so Starlink was somewhat usable, with a quite a few dropouts, but speeds up to 6 MB/s.

        Water views are the best !

        Spot #30 has a Water view and is less expensive than a site on the water. So if you bring a boat you can pull it up on shore by your site. Very nice camp ground, park, marina, golf and military museum. #30 is a long pull thru site with water and electric. Well worth the visit.

        Great for passing through

        Really quiet, Showers in bathrooms on-site. Gated in area so theres the benefit of added security. I wouldn't get full hookups, just get the standard to save a few bucks cuz theres a dump station you can use for free 😉

        Great Camping & Lots to Do

        Our second stay here. First was in the spring of 2020 when COVID had everything shutdown. Spent Monday through Friday and enjoyed our stay with some friends. Lots of old 1800 to early 1900’s homes to see, some offer tours. Providence Canyon and the Kolomoki Mounds State Parks in Georgia are an easy drive and worth the trip. Sites are easy to navigate, utilities are in good shape, and enough Verizon signal to stay in touch.

        Beautiful sunset by the water 🌅

        Park was easy to get to. We were on site 1, a back in site. Sites were kinda close together, we heard a little more of our neighbors than we would have liked to. Campground was dog friendly and many were around. Bathrooms and laundry facilities were roomy and clean. The grill and fire pit were in good shape. We didn’t see a store for firewood and charcoal, so bring your own if you’ll need it. Although we didn’t use it, the grounds had a putt putt course that was available for guest use. The camp hosts were very kind.

        Perfect pull off spot

        We had pull thru site with full hookups. Everything worked and site was level. We made reservations and arrived after staff was gone. There was a detailed map and directions to get to our site. Worked great as a stopover to our final destination.

        Quiet and Clean Campground

        Really nice campground. The Army Corps of engineers maintains the place. Kept up pretty good. Boat launch. Campsites have table, grill and fire pit. Staying one night in route to Dauphin Island, AL. Probably gets busy on weekends. First come, first serve. Free!

        Very nice and worth and extended stay

        We stopped here on our way south to Florida out of curiosity.  Earlier in the year, we had been in Cordele to ride the SAM Railway which was based next to the park and had decided to stop on our way back through and check out the campground.  The GVSP is well maintained with alot of open space, lake access and a historical museum honoring Georgia Veterans.  The camping area is spacious with back in and pull through sites.  The roadways were narrow and paved with the sites being gravel and level in most cases.  Sites along the lakefront are a bit more expensive but the lake can be viewed from any site.  Shower houses are cleaned daily by camp hosts and are well maintained.  We were advised by another camper that sites fill up quickly on weekends but are usually available during the week.  We only spent 2 nights (on a whim) but will return for a longer stay in the future.  A great area for biking, fishing and boating.

        Bring your fishing pole

        Large sites with tall trees and plenty of shade. Easy check in with a friendly park ranger and also met the camp host who was also very nice. There is a big lake for boating and fishing and you can rent a small boat on site. The bathrooms and laundry room were clean but hot and muggy with just a couple of fans running. Not much else going on at this park. Down the road however is Providence Canyon SP and that is an absolute must if you are staying here. Providence Canyon has some great hiking and amazing views.

        Our first tent camping experience

        We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They have an amazing staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. Their pool and splash pad is nicer than most hotels. The site bathrooms/showers and laundry area are kept in very well condition. We saw all types of wild life, deer, boar, and a variety of birds. 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.

        Quiet spot

        I came in thursday evening and most spots were full. Fortunately i was able to get one of the last ones. Each come with a couple of parking spots, concrete picnic bench, trash can, and grill. I was able to get a spot on the water, but i’m pretty positive they all are on the water. The road is bumpy on the way in so take it slow.

        This spot while not on the water has a very good view of the water from across the street and is very enjoyable. There’s plenty of shade, and even though it’s a small spot, it’s roomy enough.

        Great little campground!

        It was tough to find at first! You need to go I to what you think is the dam area and then campsite entrance is on the left when you are almost at the dam gateway. 10 sites with water but no electric or sewer. Very quiet right on the river. The dam makes a great white noise for sleeping! I kept thinking I had left a fan on the 1st night, lol! Just two of us here though it is weeknights. Bathroom and showers are across picnic area and up some stairs...always closed when I tried them.

        Now One of Our Favs

        Our RV GPS and WAZE took us right to the campground(CG). There’s plenty of space to park in front of the clubhouse where you check-in. We were then escorted to pull through site 6 with FHUs for our six-day stay. Our daily fee of$46 consisted of discounts from Passport America at 50% off for 3 days and then a 10% Good Sam discount. The CG had a mixture of permanent, seasonal, transient, and short-termers like us. We stayed here last year at about the same time in early January and really enjoyed ourselves, so we decided to stay longer. Water pressure is around 60 psi here, and we got quite a few OTA channels. There are a few trees in the CG, but we were able to get a good shot for our Starlink. The CG WiFi was okay but glad we had our Starlink. We got two bars on Verizon. The sites are adequately spaced with 6 being one of the better sites. The sites are gravel with a picnic table, standup bbq(in most sites, including ours), and a fire pit. We did not have a fire pit, but we could have fetched one out of an empty site. There’s a pool and laundry attached to the clubhouse. This is a no-frills campground, but there are plans to take out the driving range and put in upgraded RV sites. The clubhouse’s Fire Ant Grill has decent food. We tried their basic cheeseburger and the green olive sauce burger that is based on an old Michigan A&W Root Beer recipe. Both were delicious. Groceries at Dollar General are cheaper than Piggly Wiggly. Katz Veterinary is a good place for basic vet needs. We enjoyed our stay and had fun playing their 9-hole course.

        Nice trails but camping close to road

        Posted: hunting license, fishing license, or land pass required to camp. May purchase VIA website from camp.

        Pulled in with the intention of staying, but after realizing how close the busy road was to the campsites, decided to sleep elsewhere

        Cute campground, and enjoyed some of the trails. Looks like it might be a happening hunting spot

        Camp sites and camping area in general seem a bit tight if it were full but might be nice for a large group

        Side note, if in need of an outlet to charge anything in an emergency, it appears the (closed) hunting check in and check out area has active power (outdoor lights are on as well as interior digital clock) and an outlet is available on the porch/deck area

        Cordele KOA

        4.2 stars

        This KOA is just off of i75, super convenient for an overnight stop (which was what we did). Our boys loved the early 80s Era playground, but unfortunately it wasn't kept up well and was frankly dangerous- the large swingset wasn't anchored to the ground, the fence was partially torn down near the roadway, and there was rust on the equipment. They didn't kbiw the difference and played on it for an hour having lots of fun, but it is an accident waiting to happen. The woman who we dealt with at check in was awesome- super nice and friendly, and gave me a teacher discount. Our site was a nice large pull through with a picnic table and fire ring. Setup wasn't difficult. There was some wet dirt, could probably use some gravel. The campground looked to be in a retired pecan Grove. Not a ton of privacy but large sites and nice trees. While you can hear the highway, this one is not immediately adjacent but one property away, so it isn't bad. The property between the campground and the highway is a large abandoned building.. slightly shady but not a problem. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
