Our campground  was founded in 1980 on a family owned estate established in the mid 1800. We are just a short drive off of I-95 in Coastal Ga, near Brunswick,Ga; only minutes from the beaches of the Golden Isles of Ga, Okefenokee Swamp Park and Northeast Fl. Our large campsites will never leave you with concerns about invading the space neighboring campers. Many of our guest are content with watching the river roll by without hearing the noise of automobiles or emergency vehicles. Other guess spend there days fishing, boating or listening to birds chirping.

Beautiful property, and wonderful hosts. It was well worth the detour off of I95, to stay at Deep Bend. We are still. Sorry of new to the RV life, but this has been my favorite HipCamp so far, and I would definitely recommend it. I'm pretty sure we'll stay there again at some point in the future.

I love camping here and hope to have a longer stay in the future. The campground is clean and well maintained. It was so quiet and dark...just how we like it. I know weekends are active here, but our midweek stay was perfect.

Absolutely beautiful environment, very peaceful and you could not ask for a better host between Ron and Miss Cathy. Sites were big where you had plenty of privacy and anybody you ran into there was real friendly.

Lots were good size, all connections were in good working order. Swim at your own risk posted, so that was the only issue. And fishing would be great if you have a boat. Ron and his wife were very courteous and friendly. Nice people.

Weekend Trip to 3-Way River

Perfect riverside oasis!! Easy access boat ramp for kayaks or canoes. Tons of space and trails to roam in the adjacent wildlife management area. Definitely plan to return!!! Only a few people wandered down the trail on side by sides, but waved and left once they realized we were camping.

Cathy was a joy to meet. She was quite flexible as we arrived late due to multiple accidents on I-95. She provided a 50amp adapter for our 30amp motorhome. We were in transit arriving late and leaving early so we did not get a chance to enjoy the beautiful river and maximize the surroundings.
