Sprewell Bluff Park and the Flint River, which flows alongside it, is a camper’s escape, a fisherman's paradise, a paddler’s grand adventure, and a hiker’s dream. Visitors may escape the mundane and experience the outdoors in comfort in the River Ridge Campground in one of our cabins or campsites. Make sure to stop in at the Trading Post Gift Shop for a park map and a parking pass before hitting the trail or grab a souvenir and an ice cream before hitting the road. Visitors may cool off in the gently flowing Flint River, skip rocks across the water, and have a picnic along the river's edge or by the playground. With miles of trails winding throughout the park, visitors may take a long or short hike, run, or stroll. Bird watching enthusiasts may spot tanagers, warblers, osprey, and eagles along the river or nesting in the cliffs and forest edge. The Park offers a boat ramp making it a breeze for paddlers to access the river. The rare and elusive shoal bass call this area of the Flint River and its rocky shoals’ home.

Great little gem

Quiet location. Sites are back in but easy back in. The bathhouse is clean, the sites are gravel and pretty much level. The river park area is nice, plenty of picnic tables and access to most of the walking trails. Just a great place to get away, yet you aren’t too far from town. Electric and water at the site, dump station on your way out. Such a great find.

Beautiful and Fun

We stayed during the 4th of July weekend, it wasn't crowded and was very peaceful. Fun trails, hiking and swimming! My favorite part was watching our kids and my husband jump off the large rock into the river. Loads of fun, highly recommend for single or family camping!

Wonderful spot

My wife and I camped with friends here mid week early this spring (2021). There are only a few RV sites in the campground but each one over looks the Flint River and the view is fantastic. The campground is quiet and not crowded. The bath house is clean and well kept. The staff at the “Trading Post” are very friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed the park by the river and our friends took their children on the hiking trails. Everyone had a great time. Can’t recommend this camp enough!

Cabins are simple but nice

Cabins have great views with a back porch over the bluffs (with a nice sunset vantage point). Bunk beds are fine (mattresses not that great) and plenty of space inside with extras that make them really convenient (fridge, microwave, good heating). There’s about a 6-mile loop trail overlooking the river that will provide a good workout. The recreation area down by the river is expansive enough for folks to spread out. Here in March it’s too chilly for swimming, but would likely be a nice escape in the summer. Would definitely return.

Small campground but pretty

Sprewell Bluff Park is about 50 miles south of Atlanta on the Flint River. The campground is small, tent & RV sites starting at $35/night with 30/50 amp electric, water, fire ring, and picnic tables. Most are back in. There is a showroom/bathroom. There are also cabins. The trading post has a variety of camping items and souvenirs. This is primarily a a fisherman’s Park. There is some canoeing and hiking, and a new playground. A boat ramp was added recently. It is somewhat difficult to get here.

Solitude

Sprewell Bluff Park was an excellent pit stop when we passed through the area. I wish we had scheduled more days there instead of just an overnight. This will be on our list to visit again. 

There is an overlook as soon as you enter the park across from the office. Next along the road is the campground.

Reserve ahead because there are only 6 RV sites .(6 cabins too) Shade, a limited view and some privacy. 

The Flint river is the nice thing about this park, though the trails are definitely worth exploring.

The picnic and general visitors area by the river was busy when we arrived but we still had plenty of area to explore. The trail was not being used , everyone was in the water or at the pavilion. I did not check on watercraft rentals for the area but there was a boatramp on site and a few kayaks were in the water.

We spent all our time at the general visitors area enjoying the river. When we visit again I want to try out the trails that from the map look like they offer some good views and climb. Pack your water shoes, the rocks are slippery and your toes will thank you. We waded all along the area and there were several people jumping from a large rock in the deeper water.

The campground was quiet and felt very “isolated” after dark, a chance to feel like your in the middle of nowhere with a view.
