The glamping experience can be enhanced by stargazing opportunities, a children's splash pad in summer months, and easy access to fishing spots.

    Stonewood Farm

    Unique Farm Experience

    I’ve never “glamped” before, so I can’t comment much from that perspective. It is not a “luxury” spot. But for us it was better than that because it was fun, comfortable and easy.

    About 15 minutes from Ridgeland proper with stores, dining, etc, Stonewood Farm is tucked away in the pines a short dirt road drive off a 2 lane highway.

    Kim, the host, is friendly and helpful. She gave us a tour of the farm and introduced us to the animals.

    Bring a bag of carrots for the horses.

    My son loved the animals and exploring.

    The tent/cabin is wood framed with wood and canvas walls. The mattress on the queen bed was awesome. But you will want to spend most of your time outside under the stars and by the fire pit. The area is dark, so good star gazing.

    I took pictures of the kitchen items provided.

    Great stay. Thanks!

    Stonewood Farm

    Amazing camping experience

    My daughter and I stayed in the glamping tent at Stonewood Farm just before Thanksgiving. 

    What a great place to unwind before the craziness of the holidays. Stonewood Farm is tucked away and offers the perfect blend of nature and farm life.  

    All the animals on this off-the-grid Hobby Farm are rescues and really friendly.  My 12 year old daughter was in Heaven! She had fun with the horses, goats, dogs and especially the one cat who visited our tent and crashed our Monopoly game. 

    The tent itself is spacious and has a tv/dvd, a heater and the most comfy bed ever.  We happened to be there during a new moon and could see a million stars and the Milky Way right over our tent. We could hear owls in the distance calling to each other.

    Kimberly and Ed were amazing hosts. The campsite is away form their cabin allowing for privacy, but if we ever needed anything, they were right there to help. 

    My only concern is this was my daughter’s first time camping in a tent and the bar is now raised high. Haha. This is such a unique experience, we will definitely be back!

    Magnolia Springs State Park Campground

    Great Family Campground

    We camped here in a small hybrid with 3 kids ages 8, 6, and 3. In the center or the campground there is a small playground. The kids didn’t end on it too much, but it was a nice addition. There is also some permanent (concrete) cornhole setup, but you’ll need your own bean bags. There is also a covered picnic area beside the bathhouse and playground with 3 picnic tables and it’s own fire pit. It wasn’t used while we were there, but if you were camping with a few other families it would be amazing!

    Each site has electric and water, no sewer. I’ll get to which ones look like the best ones below. Some of the sites are awkward curving instead of straight back in, but most are pretty easy to get into. The only down side is that most sites have large concrete picnic tables and the fire ring is very close while also near a corner of the raised gravel parking level. This makes it a bit more challenging to set up chairs around the fire.

    There is one bathhouse, which includes men and women’s bathroom and showers, a laundry room with a large sink (there is no sign that says you can’t wash dishes in this sink), and an all gender accessible toilet/shower room. This shower has a waist high spicket as well as a normal height one. The lower one worked really well to shower the 3 year old covered in vomit after my less than stellar decision to swing her in the hammock all nap time. 🤷‍♀️ The bathhouse was clean and the water hot. They had added a place to hang clothes while showering. There is not bench to set things down, and that would be my only suggestion. My husband said the shower in the men’s room was plumbed backwards and hot was cold and cold was hot. No issues in the women’s.

    The rangers were fantastic and friendly. We participated in a hike with the park manager where she told us about the animals in the park and even let us feel grey fox and beaver pelts. We saw vultures and an armadillo. That finished with hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows! On Saturday we took the beginner archery lesson with another ranger. She was so patient with our 6 year old who gets frustrated very easily. It was so much fun! It was obvious that this particular ranger was great kids. The archery lesson was fun for the adults too. Later in the afternoon we participated in a scavenger hunt. Also done very well, definitely geared towards kids, (as expected) but it was definitely fun for the whole family. All the activities were well done. You can also rent paddle boats, canoes, kayaks, and bikes. All the trailers are family friendly. I think this park is perfect for families with young kids.

    See this pictures for the best campsites. In short, 16 is the best site by far. Only one with a lake view. 12&14 would be my pick for two campers camping together.

    Magnolia Springs State Park Campground

    Small but beautiful

    We stayed at Magnolia Springs over Halloween weekend 2019. The park had several great activities for kids, including trick or treating and a hayride to take the kids from site to site. We were on site 1 (right on the corner) and had a view of the lake across the street.

    The playground was nice, bath house well kept and not far from the site, and plenty of area for bike riding (not too many hills for the kids). I preferred a wide open site for this trip (due to trick or treating/ site decorating contest) but several had good shade, privacy, and a closer view of the lake.

    The museum is fascinating (it’s locked, you pay entry at the front office and they give you a key).

    Magnolia Springs State Park Campground

    Everything you need, just not close to other things

    Magnolia Springs State Park is a nice Georgia State Park. Located just north of Millen, GA, the park offers ample camping for both RVs and tents.

    Spots are flat and easy to park campers and set up tents with enough room between each for a bit of privacy and a few walk-in tent sites for increased privacy. Cabin rentals are available as well as a group lodge. There is a bath house in the main campground that is well kept complete with flush toilets and showers, as well as a coin laundry machines.

    Kayak, canoe, pedal boat and bike rentals are all available from the visitor center to explore the spring fed lake and mostly flat trails in the park.

    This is a lovely park to camp and spend time in, but is a 2-3 hour drive to Atlanta or Savannah if you are interested in exploring GA. The town of Millen has fast food options, as well as ample opportunity to pick up essential goods.

    Clean and quiet

    Very shady, level, and accommodating is what I can say upon my first impression. Pet friendly and just over all very well groomed. Manager was there to answer questions upon arrival and later after set up. You can tell this place is maintained. I will come back.

    Well Maintained Older KOA

    Very convenient from I95. Good location for the Savannah area. Sites are very tight and graveled but level. Shower house is clean and well maintained; its location is at the entrance and a bit of a distance to the sites furthest from the entrance. Staff is friendly and helpful.

    Camp South RV Park

    A great gem in Georgia

    Camp South RV Park served as a stop-over on our way home from a long road trip in 2020. It was quiet on the night we were there and we had the place practically to ourselves. Met one of the owners and his daughter who told us the story of how the campground was where she learned to hunt. Beautiful farm across the lovely pond. I really enjoyed the community garden and the community gathering area complete with TVs and a large fire pit and cooker. Adorable playground and large dog park with poop bags!! We will be staying again this fall. Can't wait!! Maybe it'll be a little cooler.


Guide to Statesboro

Magnolia Springs State Park Campground features a 28-acre lake created by clear natural springs that flow at 7 million gallons daily. Located in Jenkins County, Georgia, the park sits at an elevation of approximately 240 feet above sea level in the coastal plain region. Winter temperatures average between 38°F and 60°F, making it a popular off-season destination for campers seeking milder conditions than northern Georgia.

What to do

Explore Civil War history: Visit the Camp Lawton Confederate prison site within the park. "There was some archeological work going on when we were there. The spring is very pretty, with turtles and fish swimming under the bridges of the walkway," notes Joel R. from Magnolia Springs State Park Campground.

Paddle the lake: Rent boats to explore the spring-fed waters. "You can look up the history of this place on their website. We were there May 8-11 and only had one colder evening and weather in the 70's during the day," shares Jay B., who stayed in the walk-in tent area.

Attend ranger programs: Participate in scheduled activities throughout the year. "We participated in a hike with the park manager where she told us about the animals in the park and even let us feel grey fox and beaver pelts. We saw vultures and an armadillo. That finished with hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows!" reports Sarah F.

Fish in stocked waters: The lake contains bass, bream, and catfish. At Camp South RV Park, about 30 miles east, "Campsites are large, and easy to maneuver, it has a red clay sand base to drive on but even when it's raining it's no issue... And if you like fishing and farm life it has both," according to Illya A.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer room to spread out. "Campground very well kept. Friendly staff. Not as small as pictures suggest. Sites nicely spread around so while there's no vegetation in between, there's privacy," reports G F. at Magnolia Springs State Park Campground.

Abundant wildlife viewing: The spring and surrounding wetlands attract diverse animal species. "Look forward to going back" writes Kait G., who adds, "We took advantage of the lake and did a lot of fishing. I would definitely go back and hopefully will have the opportunity to stay in a tent site because they looked awesome!"

Clean facilities: Bathhouses and common areas maintain high standards. At Savannah South KOA, about 55 miles southeast of Statesboro, "The bathhouse & general store were very clean & located a short walk from the tent sites. There is also a playground & pool. The campground was quiet, we had no issues at all," says Jessica.

Level camping areas: Even tent sites provide comfortable sleeping surfaces. "This campground was nice to stay at, with level grassy spots, a fun playground for the kiddos and plenty of space to run around, outstanding Verizon service, warm showers, and propane refills," notes Andrew W. about Whispering Pines RV Park in Rincon.

What you should know

Wildlife precautions: Be aware of alligators and wildlife throughout the area. "Do not feed the alligators! This is the site of a lesser known confederate civil war prison... The spring is very pretty, with turtles and fish swimming under the bridges of the walkway, and there were lots of alligators along the stream," cautions Joel R.

Limited sewer connections: Most sites offer water and electric only. "Each site has electric and water, no sewer. I'll get to which ones look like the best ones below. Some of the sites are awkward curving instead of straight back in, but most are pretty easy to get into," explains Sarah F. at Magnolia Springs.

Road noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience highway sounds. At Savannah South KOA, "Easy in and out to main arteries. Convenient to attractions and supplies. If you're tenting road noise could be problematic," mentions Sally S.

Seasonal water activities: The splash pad operates only during summer months. "Plenty of trails with birdwatching and animal watching including alligators. There is a beautiful natural spring and the site has a museum... There are several playgrounds and a splash pad for the kids," shares Cathy C. from Magnolia Springs State Park Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Site selection matters: Choose locations based on proximity to amenities. "We camped here in a small hybrid with 3 kids ages 8, 6, and 3. In the center or the campground there is a small playground. The kids didn't end on it too much, but it was a nice addition," reports Sarah F., who recommends site 16 as "the best site by far. Only one with a lake view."

Take advantage of activities: Archery lessons cater to various skill levels. "On Saturday we took the beginner archery lesson with another ranger. She was so patient with our 6 year old who gets frustrated very easily. It was so much fun! It was obvious that this particular ranger was great kids," adds Sarah F.

Accessible options available: Some facilities accommodate mobility devices. "Magnolia has just rebuilt their fishing deck to make it wheelchair accessible. I took the trail in my powerchair and was able to go almost the whole trail," notes Joy D.

Tips from RVers

Power stability varies: Check for reliable electrical service. At Camp South RV Park, "The people here are wonderful, the facilities are always clean, power is stable and so is the Wi-Fi," reports Illya A.

Campsite surfaces: Different grounds handle rain differently. "Site is rocks which is better than sand, when it rains it does not get messy. Decent size site for pull through, but right next to neighbor," notes Lexi U. about glamping close to Statesboro, Georgia at Savannah South KOA.

RV maneuvering: Some sites require careful navigation. "The only down side is that most sites have large concrete picnic tables and the fire ring is very close while also near a corner of the raised gravel parking level. This makes it a bit more challenging to set up chairs around the fire," explains Sarah F.
