Camping in the Backwoods

This was a lovely secluded campground in the backwoods of Georgia. Short driving distance to Jekyll Island. Owner Ron was quite possibly the nicest and most helpful man/owner ever. Drove through once a day to check on things and chat with people.

Pros: lots of space for kid exploration and free play. Wooded trails through the woods and along the river. Very quiet. Fishing available. You can bring your boat. Firewood available for $20. Full hookups and partial hookups.

Cons: not any other families or kids while we were there, a little buggy after the rain (remember your bug spray)and we had some ant bites while walking in flip flops (but that was probably our fault

I would recommend Site 12 for unobstructed views of the woods.

Gorgeous and Tranquil in the Woods

This place was so perfect and our first camping experience with our new 40 foot RV! Check-in was easy and they even let us change to a pull-through site last minute. The grounds were sooooo gorgeous! Trees everywhere. Walking trails. And of course the lake. We went during fall colors so it was really magical.

PROS: Clean restrooms, spacious RV sites (they felt very private), many bathhouses within walking distance, friendly staff, nice gift shop 

CONS: wet firewood and of course you had to buy from them, playground very small- made more for toddlers/preschool age, less than 5 years old, long walk to the dumpsters
