Camping near St Marys

Anyone who’s got Georgia on their mind will delight in the stunning coastal landscapes while camping near St. Marys. Accessible by a 45-minute ferry ride, Cumberland Island National Seashore is a must-see stop.

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).

We had a great stay. This hipcamp feels like it’s deep in the middle of the country, but was only 20-30 minutes outside of Jacksonville. Kenny was sure to greet us and make sure we didn’t need anything. The kids loved playing in the lake, paddling around and fishing. There is a cow pasture on the other side of the field, and there were two adorable baby cows that the kids could watch through the fence. Kenny’s dogs were super sweet and loved the kids, but you’ll want to keep your own dogs away from them (which he asked us to do upon arrival) and site 1 backs up right to the dog’s border. Site two has more of a buffer between the campsite and this area.

This was a great spot to spend an afternoon and night in Folkston. The campsite pads and facilities are in excellent condition and well maintained. We are railfans so we enjoyed the trackside location. Twenty six trains passed through town during our stay. The Folkston railfan park is adjacent to the campsite. The Okefenokee Swamp visitor center is a short drive away and worth a visit.
