Guide
Very rural, very quiet. Private river access, full hookup available. Pet friendly & spacious. 30 mins from 2 golf courses in case you golf. 8 miles to the nearest anything (small grocery & dollar general). Very kind owner & camp host.
Traveler
We enjoyed our stay. The facilities were clean but there were a few things that I wouldn’t mind seeing improved or changed. But none that would stop me from coming back.
The lake is fairly small they do not have a no wake rule or HP limit. So if you go out in a kayak or canoe and there is just one boat pulling a tube you should expect a rough day on the water.
Our site really could use to be refurbed with a more defined site boundary and picnic area.
Site 19 is a bit tight to back in but it’s doable.
Guide
Fun campground with many organized events. Currently, most sites are full-time campers. The current transient spots are a bit tight. The owner is very active in upgrading and improving his amazing business. My husband and I stayed for two weeks. During our stay, we ate several times at the restaurant, Fish Tales. Fantastic food and great environment. Staff is friendly and treats you like part of the family. The owner and manager were quite frequently seen running food, helping staff and campers. Daily food specials, entertainment several times a week, beautiful outside seating, pool area, two dog parks, showers/bathrooms and a huge expansion project to offer many more sites. I would absolutely stay here again!
ScoutGreat spot, however maintenance is starting 2/12/24. Not sure how long this will last, but park will be closed for some time
Guide
Right across the street from the entrance to Okefenokee Swamp. Take the sunset boat ride…totally worth it! The campground has laundry for $3 per load. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, even a bar. Excellent breakfast!Charlene was very nice! Would absolutely stay here again. FYI - they do NOT offer discount for Pro Dyrt. New owners and they have been trying to get that removed but no luck. Still worth it (after all, it’s only a 10% discount).
RangerWent for a quick beach trip. When we arrived and went into the entrance side of the drive we were met with signs saying for RVs to go left and workers to go right. The entrance was a parking lot for the restaurant in front and there was a sign saying RVs were not to go past a certain point (not to go right in front of the restaurant basically) and to follow yellow arrows to the sites. The problem was we were pulli mg a 40 ft travel trailer and had to turn into an parking lot full of cars in both sides with barely enough room to actually make the turn without hitting the cars. We had to stop and get out to evaluate our ability to actually get through. My husband made it but had to back up and reposition in order to get through. The rest of the roads were very narrow as well and the other RVs were very close to the road on both sides due to the small size of the sites. When leaving we were unable to actually turn our trailer to actually go the correct way out of the park (and we weren’t the only ones unable to do so). The sites need more gravel and there needs to actually be a clear area to actually have a seating area. Additionally this campground appears to have a large amount of full timers/locals who reside there. The bath house and laundry were nice. We did enjoy the pool and my kids enjoyed playing on the swing set. It was convenient to have an on-site restaurant. There was a designated dog park but it was in a low lying area which was very wet and muddy so we didn’t use it. The pluses for this campground did not make up for the limitations of site size and maneuverability in my opinion. We have stayed at both Blythe Island Campground and Coastal Georgia RV park which are nearby and would prefer either of those over this one.
Scout
We have always loved staying here and have never had a problem and everything was good this time except for the bathhouse. The whole time we stayed it was not cleaned up at all. I raved to my friends that it was a nice clean bathhouse and was embarrassed at the condition it was kept during my stay.
Legend
The campground is a real gem. It's beautiful!
Many nice sites that look like camping in the jungle. Water & electric sites. Some are small- more like tent sites.
Sites- 1-25 seem larger. you could get a bigger rig into them.
Sites 26-58 seemed smaller.
Site 39 was very small. tent only.
Sites 59-64 are pull throughs. The rest are back in.
We had site 41 which was plenty big for us. It was also near the bathroom.
If you like being close to the facilities, 40/41/42 are the spots to choose.
There's 2 comfort stations. The bathroom/showers are individual units. They were very clean for a state park in the swamp!
It was buggy & we were there the end of April.
Thursday night was dead quiet, but the weekend was busy.
The dump station has only one dump.
This is a small state park- only 120 acres, but camping here is definitely worthwhile.
ScoutGreat Park, some of the sites are a challenge to back into. With us being with limited experience some are a challenge to get into. The park is always very clean (our second time here) and never very crowded. We were here in March of last year and last of April and early May. Let’s say March is a lot better due to the yellow flies, mosquitoes and horse flies bothersome this trip. We took the guided tour last year and enjoyed it very much. Also this is a very quite campground just be sure your stocked the necessities since the nearest store is app 18 miles away. When we come back it will be February/March. Hope this review helps.
ScoutWonderful place to enjoy nature. Boat landing. Camper or tent.
ScoutThe camp grounds are well maintained and the people will try very hard to make sure that everyone is taken care of. We were there over the Easter weekend and they kept the snack shop open late to allow for campers to watch the Masters.
TravelerStayed in this pristine, well maintained, quiet slice of Southern Georgia for 3 months (Jan-Mar) and cannot say enough great things about it! Hosts on site. Owner invests and keeps it nice. Full hookups, great scenery, private boat ramp, shady, fire pits, dump station, about 8 miles to a grocery, post office and bait.
GuideThis was our first stop of many and it did not disappoint. We were in loop 1 . Very quiet, for smaller rigs and tents. Restrooms and showers were clean . Much to do in park . Several hiking trailers. A nice boardwalk walk. We rented a canoe for a few hours .
ScoutVery friendly people, gorgeous views and their bathhouse is top tier! Overall it’s quiet.
GuideI just wrapped up a month long stay at DBL. The spaces are very large. My site was pull thru. Easy in and out. Zero traffic noise. Just nature. I used my Verizon wifi jet pack while there. It worked great. I would 100% visit again.
GuideThis is a nice place with a dog park, it's on the lake and has alot of activities.
Traveler
We got in after office closed. They called us to give us info for our arrival, even offering an bigger camp site due to our trailer size. Upon arrival the dam host Martha advised us to take shelter in a cinder block building due to tornado warnings. Everyone very accommodating & helpful!
GuideWe really enjoyed this park! They offer rental boats & tours of the swamp, there's also a little boardwalk (pictured: Trembling Earth Nature Trail) if you're not comfortable on the water. There are defiantly alligators & bears in the area. This is a dark sky park, but unfortunately it was cloudy during our visit so I can't speak to the view. Cell service is spotty, even starlink had issues w/ all the trees. It pretty far out in the boonies so be prepared for a long drive if you need to go to town. The road in the campground is pretty narrow & winding, bigger rigs might have some troubles.
GuideSites are extremely small. Barely had enough room for picnic table. Was only about an inch away from our camper. Road noise and no fire rings.
TravelerWas peaceful and beautiful. Has free wifi, showers and a ma and pa store in camp. Has a train track across the water and big playground if u have kids. Great stay
TravelerThis state park is typical of Georgia state parks in that it is clean, mowed and well kept. Sites are situated so there is some privacy on your table side although fairly open. I do not think there are any sewer hookups and our site (32) has 30 amp. We are here Monday to Thursday and it is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely come back. We stayed here in a 35’ Montana fifth wheel.
GuideThis campground (loop 2) offered privacy between spaces and clean bathrooms. It’s in the middle of nowhere which accounts for it’s dark park designation (although they should switch to red lights on the comfort stations). Moderate length hiking trails, canoe/kayak rentals and motorized John boats. Lots of gators! One beast of a gator resides in the boat launch area. There is very little cell service but there is wi-fi at the trading post/ranger station. It was a little noisy with some construction work while we were there, which is why I took 1 star off the rating.
LegendSometimes you need to look (and go) long and far to find the perfect slice of heaven. That would describe Deep Bend Landing – with its complete out-of-the-way location, if you weren’t careful, you’d just drive right by this hidden 100 acre campground gem. It’s a simple place, with an easy layout and the sort of down-to-earth, lovely people that will welcome you and immediately make you feel as though you belong right from the start.
Have an RV? Well, there’s plenty of spots(and all come with 20 / 30 / 50 electrical amp, water and sewage hook-ups along with picnic table, fire ring and a proper dump station). But if you are of the ilk that needs the perfectly flat, poured concrete slab to call your home for the evening, then this place may not be for you. While immaculately maintained, the grounds are natural, so expect gravel and easy to maneuver pathways.
Need an RV? Well, they have a few that they’ll rent you for your stay. Don’t like RV’s? They have that covered too. They’ll rent you either a river house or one of their cabins, from a traditional, rustic wooden cabin to a full-fledged 3BR house. They even offer up ‘Grandpa’s Cabin’ which could definitely qualify as ‘pioneer’ if not outright ‘primitive.’ And, if like me, you want to pitch a tent, you’ll be delighted to find tons of spots on nice flat rolling land underneath crowded ancient oaks blocking the sun from beating down on your brow.
From an amenities standpoint, the RV designated spots have all the hook-ups you would need and every, single, spot has its own tree-lined ceiling with a natural window to see the sparkling stars each night. Oh, and there’s the alluring black waters of the Satilla River that runs through this place, of which there’s about a half dozen spots that rock up to this waterfront (including Grandpa’s Cabin), which I would highly recommend. There’s two very simple and easy small boat launches at both ends of the property that will send you off to explore an exquisite, blissful natural experience undisturbed by anything other than what God himself has planted or fowl / animal he has sent to remind you of what a slice of heaven can be on earth. Net-net, if you want to get away from it all and not hear traffic (or any noise for that matter from the modern world) or worry about getting a good cell signal (let alone WiFi connection) then this is the perfect spot for you.
Insider’s tip? If you feel confined by the tight needle-like Satilla, I highly recommend an early morning kayak dip in nearby Kings Bay (it’s less than a 10 minute drive from the campground). And if you grow tired of dogs and beans by the fireside, I highly recommend either Scott’s BBQ & Grill, which is a must-stop for ribs, smoked chicken and potato bomb (don’t ask, just order and eat!).
Happy Camping!
GuideThis park seems more like a fish camp to me. Located on the Altamaha River, it fills mostly with locals and their boats on the weekend. Seems a bit pricey for slide to awning parking. Reserve a week, get one day free. It has a handicapped accessible store with groceries and fishing tackle. A kitchen serves breakfast and sandwiches from time to time with a few covered tables and chairs outside. Gasoline is available on sight. The swimming area is the boat ramp. I needed a spot for a week, thats what I got.
ScoutGreat professional staff and clean bath house. Well stocked camp store.
TravelerAmazing views of the stars, the swamp, and the wildlife (gators!).
The other campers were respectful of both the space and the quiet. Spots were clean and pretty private.
Highly recommended.
GuideWe stayed in April nice clean camping area clean restrooms and a dog area.
