I loved this place as back a couple of miles from the main road, one of the quietest places I’ve stayed at. Lots of space for large venues. Nothing going on while I was there which was nice. Would definitely come back.

Easy to find even in the dark. The last 2 miles was an active logging road. The crews were scraping the road after heavy rains the day before. Do bring bug spray, we were bombarded by the biggest horse flies I have ever seen.

Weekend Trip to The Lodge at Hartley Oaks

Wonderful, peaceful campground with lots of space to roam around! Parked our 42ft 5th wheel on the edge of their large field. Full hook ups with 50amps. We ate dinner at the Swamp Fire Grill on property and it was beyond excellent!!! It was a great time with friends sitting around the fire and star gazing. The visibility at night in this area is among some of the best in the country; being not too far from the Okefenokee Swamp. Our two mini dachshunds had a good time too.

Such a beautiful hidden gem! Gorgeous oak trees surrounded us as we watched the sunset turn into a sky covered in stars! Wasn’t buggy at all for us. We got some fresh eggs dropped off right to us as well. 15 minutes from grocery, food, and other stores if we ever did need to grab something. Kaitlyn is amazing with communication. Everyone was super kind and accommodating towards us and our dogs. We have multiple dogs and they had so much space to explore by the pond in the back and hangout by our site comfortably, they absolutely loved it. This is the most dog friendly place we have stayed as a couple who have a lot of dogs. Can’t wait to come back!
