Conductor's Corner Campsites

27mi from Crooked River State Park Campground · 3 sites · RVs

Call us bias, but there’s nothing better than small town life. When the "blue roof cottage by the tracks" (yes, it used to have a unique blue roof) hit the market in early 2021, we knew it had to be ours! We purchased it & flipped it into a vacation home for guests of Folkston .. and The Conductor's Corner was born. Because we are also avid RV'ers, we thought what better way to finish off our corner than to add a few first-class RV sites to accommodate the camping community. We hope you enjoy your stay on our corner! In a small town in the south, where the Okefenokee Swamp runs deep and railfans thrive, the Conductor’s Corner stands out. The Conductor’s Corner features 3 premium RV sites directly on the rail lines of the Folkston Funnel. This railfan's dream neighbors the Folkston Railfan Train Platform. The spacious concrete pads are perfect for a night of watching trains under the stars. 20x50 concrete pads with 30/50 amp power, water, sewer, Wifi & picnic tables. A quick 3 minute walk from the Conductor’s Corner will lead to the heart of Main Street where visitors will find a plethora of hidden treasures: coffee shops, boutiques, local eateries, the Train Museum and so much more. Guests could spend a day exploring the habitats and waterways of the Okefenokee Swamp or take a short drive to neighboring communities such as Cumberland Island, Savannah, Golden Isles or Amelia Island or Jacksonville in Florida. All the comforts of home and the utmost southern hospitality are included in your stay on our corner. The Conductor's Corner also includes a vacation cottage available for rent (sleeps 6).

Versatile Camp Site

Tent · With kids

Great little spot just north of Destin/ Panama City. Andrew was incredibly friendly and available at all times- even welcomed us at our late arrival. Good amount of space with room for tents, hammock and vehicle. Near by locations for fishing and other water recreation- Andrew was kind to offer us kayaks to use during our stay. Clean restrooms just a short walk from the site.

Great park! Was there May 12-14th, not full. I can imagine this place is hopping Jun - Aug/Sept? The wind was RELENTLESS, may be due to the time of year I was there. Great views on the west side. Toured the Cove Marina and Deschutes CG. Some sites are short for RVs/Trailers. Know your length before you go! Saw several tow vehicles sitting sideways to fit on the site. Restrooms are updated and very clean!! No sewer here, dump station available.
