Georgia is the largest state east of the Mississippi River. With 60 state parks, 15 barrier islands and several national parks, there’s no shortage of camping options in the Peach State. At the top of the state, hike along the historic Appalachian Trail and stay for the night in the Chattahoochee National Forest, which provides some of the best camping in north Georgia. Campers in central Georgia can find everything from your standard tent, to cottages or even yurt camping; surrounded by historical sites of the civil war. As you head south toward the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll trek through coastal marshlands (the most widespread and thriving in the U.S.) and be greeted by white sandy beaches that make up Georgia’s coastline. Oceanfront campgrounds abound here, or head out to one of the barrier islands; the Cumberland Island National Seashore on Cumberland Island is not to be missed.
