With natural beauty, lakeside camping and cozy cottages, this secluded park is the perfect south Georgia retreat. It is best known for the refurbished Parrish Mill and Pond, a combination gristmill, saw mill, covered bridge and dam built in 1880. A group shelter near the bridge is popular for family reunions and parties. Some campsites sit right on the waters edge, while cottages with gas fireplaces and screened porches are nestled into the woods. The parks mill pond beckons anglers and paddlers to explore thick stands of cypress and tupelo trees draped with Spanish moss. Canoeists and kayakers can join the Park Paddlers Club. While on the water, nature enthusiasts can look for beaver dams, blue heron, white ibis and other wading birds. The park rents boats, and nearby outfitters offer guided paddle trips. Hikers can stretch their legs on seven miles of trails while searching for gopher tortoises, Georgia's state reptile.
Blue skies and ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss are the backdrop for our 54 full hook-up, back-in RV sites that feature all-new utilities. These generously sized RV spaces are 55’ x 30’ – big enough for slide outs and the biggest big rigs.

While we are new to Dyrt, we've been active on other camping sites for a while with great reviews and many happy campers.
We're not an RV park, but rather a family farm with only 3 full RV hookups sites, beautiful views, and lots of wide open space. Forget being packed into tiny spaces when you're here.
Our beautiful unique property has been in the family for 3 generations. Over the years, our family plus artists, musicians, and writers friends have come here to refresh and get inspiration for projects. But with The Dyrt we've opened up for others to enjoy.
We have a pond where you can kayak, relax on the dock, or feed the huge fish (sorry no fishing allowed.) Also, on our property, there are swings, tree house deck, obstacle course, fire pit area, wooden bridge, picnic table, abundant bird life, and walking trails. There's also plenty of wide-open space where you can play frisbee, run, do yoga, and stargaze at night.
There's plenty to do in this area, using the farm as your base. Claxton, our hometown, is a great friendly, small-town with grocery and hardware stores and restaurants. Many guests like to side-trip over to the towns of Statesboro, Metter, Vidalia, and Savannah, plus the Golden Isles.

George L Smith should be on every paddlers checklist! It’s a great paddling experience unlike most.
The campground is nice and well kept.
This might be an annual trip for us.
Guide
Stayed for 2 nights in Site #3. Was called prior to arrival regarding checking in. Missed "closing time" but went to site and checked in next morning. The Park fee is not included in the camping fee with is a bit of a pain, but I actually received a partial refund since the Senior rate was not included in my reservation.
Plenty of well marked trails to hike, a nice lake, beautiful spring, and if you are interested a thorough Museum about the Civil war prison camp that was located on the grounds. (Note: there is no swimming at the spring)
Sites are level with good power and water. I felt they were a bit close, but we are not campground people. #3 seemed one of the most private, even though right across from the Hosts and near the Bathhouse. The Bathhouse was very clean and new.
Scout
Stumbled upon this after a relatively close campground was unhelpful for long term. This is a fresh park, many upgrades coming this year. The park has done great at speration of in progress and current campsites to avoid noise and congestion. The 2 laundrys are clean and feature a shower house-full bath, the manager and receptionist are friendly and responsive to any questions you may have. Great local businesses in Sandersville and close to plenty of fishing opportunities and scenic drives.
Traveler
I called to make a reservation and was told he was out of Business.
ScoutPaid for it online stayed the weekend from Friday to Sunday . Check in between 1:00-10:00pm must be out by 12:00. Has an electric outlet right next to our text, a faucet for fresh water, has a fire ring and a picnic table, just off the water. Have fire wood available for purchase if needed. We had a wonderful time brought the kayaks and fishing poles.
ScoutWe stayed here for five nights and boy do I wish we had planned to stay longer! Spacious sites, new and super clean facilities including bathrooms, showers and laundry… and the park sits on a man-made lake. There are also campfire rings and picnic tables. As far as“settings” go, 4 County RV Park is one of the most idyllic and peaceful we’ve encountered in our one year on the road. WiFi, electric, water, sewer, all were top notch. We met some very nice people here as well and the owners, Rebecca and Troy, could not have been nicer. It is obvious they take great pride in their property and they really care that everyone has a good stay. We were 30 minutes from Macon so it was easy to hop on Hwy 16 to get there and enjoy what Macon has to offer. We would come back to 4 County in a heartbeat and hope to one day.
Scout
Great little spot. The Owners are very nice and friendly. Great dog park and boat ramp. Wifi is exceptional. Lots of land to roam around on.
TravelerStayed at this campground for a few days in Jan of 24. Very quiet and the owner is very friendly and accomodating. There is a free boat ramp into Coleman Lake for registered guests. There is a newly renovated laundry facility. its only $2.50 a load. My amputee wife loved that she could fit her wheelchair in the shower. There is also a restaurant and bar on property open on the weekends. There are trails all over for atv/utv's. There is also an outdoor bar for rent for big gatherings. We came here for one night and ended up staying for weeks. Would definitely return.
LegendRead through all the reviews and it seems to have come a long ways. There are more hiking trails, really nice docks and boats for rent and slightly better Verizon service. My Tesla wireless worked barely and without the cell phone extender I wouldn't have been able to work here. All in though they do a very nice job of providing private spaces and the cabins look amazing. It was in the teens outside so not floating on the lake for me but I would love to do that. The lake looks incredible.
GuideWe stayed at George L. Smith State Park in Oct. 2023. We had a large, level, pull-thru site with water and 50 amp service. No sewer. There are sites on the water that some are large and some are close. Those do have a view and some are private.
The park was quite and peaceful for our visit. We really enjoyed paddling the pond and checking out the grist mill and covered bridge. The pond is black water with tons of cypress and tupelo trees throughout. Kind of mystical.
Guide
Clean and Shady camping space with newer, clean showers and restrooms.
The park has many amenities just a short walk away. Nearby golf course seems to be appreciated by several campers. Take a walk down to the dam and read about the construction of the park and the lake, by the CCC, in the 1930's
As of September 2023 the construction on the Cottages continues, so there is some noise during the day. But considering we were the closest to it, it was not bad.
Guide
We stayed here for one night on our way to Savannah. The grounds were well kept and it felt very comfortable. The FHU pull throughs are spacious and easy to manage. This is country camping; with goats and cows right next to you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay after a problem filled travel day. Thanks to Dwayne and Deborah for creating a safe and clean place for people like us.
GuideWe stopped on our way to the Georgia coast. It was exactly what we needed and an easy in and out!
ScoutNo sites available. Looks like permanent campers have moved in. Some sites decorated with empty beer cans and grocery carts.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're so happy to have this campground on our platform. With level sites, plenty of trees, and 30 or 50 amp hook-ups, this is a great place to get away from it all. Enjoy your food outside at the picnic table and roast some marshmallows in the community fire-pit. Check them out and leave them some love!

Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to welcome this listing that boasts 4 private RV spaces. Dip your toes into the pod or take out your kayak. Take a side trip to towns of Statesboro, Metter, Vidalia, and Savannah, plus the Golden Isles. Close to Green Lakes State Park. Take in the amazing views on this beautiful property and post your pictures here!
LegendGeneral: Small (25-site) campground, all with electric/water plus a fire ring, lantern hook, and picnic table. There are also 8 cottages and four primitive campsites. Most have a water view. An interesting thing about Georgia state parks is that when you arrive and check in, you become eligible for a senior or military/veteran “rebate” which is not available when reserving.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel and level. Most sites had a step-down area with a picnic table, fire ring/grill, and lantern hook with plenty of room for a tent.
Bathhouse: Was very clean. Lights are on a timer so make sure you don’t end up in the dark too soon! Did not use the showers but they looked to be very clean as well.
Activities: Fishing, boating (kayaks are available for rent), and some short hiking/walking paths. There is an 1880s grist mill/covered bridge with self-guided tours but it was scheduled to close for renovations on October 31 (not sure for how long) so we were lucky we arrived on the 30th and were able to see it. The hosts were very available and friendly. The campground was about half full and very quiet.
Note that there is a sketchy RV “park” across the street from the campground. When we asked, the host said they keep a close watch on it and make sure no one from there accesses the campground; we did not experience any problems.
We were told the colors were early this year and they were like nothing we’d seen before so as a photographer, I loved shooting something entirely different! Also, we were pleasantly surprised there were no bugs so close to a swamp!
ScoutSpent two days. Bathrooms are cleaner than my house. Site had good access. Not too close to your neighbors.
GuideFantastic campground. 36' 5th wheel in site 17. Plenty of room
RangerWe stayed here on a weekend during the summer. I really liked this campground and park. It is the site of a Civil War prison camp and has a museum onsite as well as previous earth works from the site which you can walk to. Our site was nice and large with lots of shade. It was possibly the best pull thru site in my opinion due to its proximity to the playground and bathhouse for my kids. Site 16 would be the best back in site since it is right on the lake. The bathhouse was clean and large. There was a laundry area as well. There is usually a splash pad available during the summer but it was closed when we went due to COVID. There is also obviously a spring there and it was really neat to look at because the water is so clear. There were also alligators and turtles in the pond. The turtles would swam up to the railing wanting someone to drop them some food. There was a little trail through the wooded area beside the springs going back to the campground and we did hike it. There were other trails through the woods by the campground lake which we hiked as well. In addition to campsites they did have cabin rentals as well. You can put in your own boat and fish in the lake if desired or rent a boat. We rented canoes and rowed around the lake. It was very nice. There were lots of alligators in the lake. It was hard to fish from the dock and shore due to the alligators trying to get your bait. We did really enjoy this park and would go back. It is pretty rural as well but there were a few small restaurants and stores within a 10-15 minute drive.

My daughter and I have stayed here the last 3 summer’s. It’s officially a must for our summer camp trips. The serenity of the area and huge fields and beautiful trees. The air is just different. I find great peace here.
Guide
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.
GuideI have stayed here two different occasions. It is a great place!
