TravelerI have visited twice, once in late January and now in June. Bugs are a huge issue in June but otherwise a wonderful campground with great hosts
TravelerNice bathrooms and laundry facility. Some short hiking trails and lots of kayaking waterways and launch not far from campground.
ScoutOnly here one night at site on the water's edge, but wish we'd have stayed a few more days. Quiet, good camping neighbors, good fishing, park is full of amenities, excellent showers/bath house. We're coming back to spend more time here and explore the Okeefenokee swamp, which is close by.
LegendAfter deciding to move on from a few rougher nearby options in nearby Folkston, we pulled into Okefenokee Pastimes and immediately felt like we had chosen wisely, with a tidy layout, clear signage and an inviting A-frame office greeting us upon entry that sits just minutes from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The campground offers full hook-up RV sites along with primitive tent spots, but what really caught our eye were the newly erected yurts on site that looked clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, complete with little porches that made our boys quietly ask us whether we could swap the camper for one of those yurts instead! Amenities felt intentional and family-friendly, including a small onsite restaurant, bathhouse facilities and EZ access to guided boat tours into the swamp. Everything here appeared well-maintained without feeling overly commercial. We enjoyed a relaxed lunch right there at the restaurant, where the boys happily refueled while Dad stood marveling at the surprisingly solid lineup of IPA beers before choosing a local Georgia brew to go with his meal. Afterwards, we wandered the grounds together talking about gators and birds we hoped to spot the next morning. From what we saw, the best campsites are those tucked slightly toward the back edge of the property where it feels quieter and less exposed, offering a bit more breathing room for families. I would absolutely recommend Okefenokee Pastimes for families because of its proximity to the refuge, its welcoming and cleaner atmosphere and the added charm of those tempting new yurts that just might win you over next time.
TravelerSuch peace and quiet. Nothing but the sound of the wind, the crackle of a camp fire and an occasional bird calling.
LegendWe spent one night here. Be careful about some of the pull through spaces as there are trees that might make it difficult for longer RVs to get into. Our space was nice and level, had water and electric, the bathrooms were so so. Clean but the showers could’ve used a little attention. We did do our laundry here which was relatively inexpensive. Nice hike through the woods. There were quite a few potholes on the road, coming back into the campground.
LegendLocated right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !
LegendThis is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.

Guests should bring groceries from larger towns.
Site challenges: Pay close attention to site descriptions when booking. "Our site was very unlevel thanks to tree roots. How dare they grow there. Our site did not have any room in the back and it was oddly placed with two other sites," reports Lorilee S. about Laura S Walker State Park.
