The best camping in Georgia

·

Whether you’re exploring the Appalachian peaks and Blue Ridge Mountains of the north, road-tripping through the heartlands, or hopping between beaches, marshes, and barrier islands along the Atlantic coast—the Peach State has a camping experience to suit all tastes. Take your pick of 50 Georgia state parks, 11 national parks, and two national forests, with miles of trails and endless options for RV and tent camping, glamping, and backcountry campsites. With mild winter temperatures, camping trips are possible year-round, but spring and fall provide the best weather for outdoor activities, and southern summers are best enjoyed by the water.

Tubes are available for a $10 charge per day. If you're feeling extra adventurous, there are rope swings that let you swing over the river, and there are super cool places to splash around and swim, part of which, is in the Indian Fish Trap.

St George, GA · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
🏞️🌲 White Sand. Sunny River Days. Oak & Pine Forest. Two States. Southern Country Vibes A private riverfront escape just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, right on the FL-GA line. 🌿 Welcome to Blackwater Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private property on a quiet bend of the St. Marys River, with 150+ acres of protected Florida preserve directly across the river. Located right on the state line at the southernmost edge in Georgia. We intentionally keep Blackwater small, quiet, and private, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the river and surrounding woods. And there's something pretty unusual about this place: The Florida–Georgia state line runs right through the river. You can literally swim between two states at once. 🌊 🏝️ The White-Sand River Beach Long before Blackwater was here, this part of Georgia was the ancient coastline. Today, where that old coastal "trail ridge" meets the St. Marys River, you find a soft white private sandbar along a shallow, clean, refreshing, dark blackwater river surrounded by native woods. 🌊 The St. Marys River The St. Marys is a freshwater, rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Naturally occurring tannins from peat in the Okefenokee give the deeper water its black color, while the shallows turn a beautiful golden “sweet tea” color. 🏊 Swim it. 🛶 Paddle it. 🎣 Fish it. 🏕️ The Riverfront Pavilion Right at the river's edge is our 70' covered pavilion overlooking the river. It's a place to get out of the sun ☀️, wait out an afternoon rainstorm 🌧️, cook a meal 🍳, play some games 🎲, gather around the fire pit 🔥, or simply sit and watch the river and spot birds as the sun sets. ⚡ Power 💧 Water 💡 Lights 🌀 Fans 🪑 Tables & Chairs 🔥 Grills & Fire Pit 🎲 Games The pavilion is available for small and large private group camping, celebrations, club or troop gatherings, and full-property buyouts. 🔐 Want the Whole Place to Yourself? Full-property private bookings are available. Bring your group, spread out, and enjoy Blackwater as your own private river retreat. For the right group, having the entire property to yourselves changes the experience completely. Your group, the river, and the woods. 🌊🌲 Do Something. Or Nothing at All. 🌲 Your Weekend at Blackwater 🏊 Swim and wade 🛶 Paddle and/or kayak 🎣 River and pond fishing 🥾 Explore our easy walking trails 🐦 Birdwatching 🔥 S’mores and stories around the campfire 🌌 Stargaze under dark skies 🎯 Archery/BB gun practice (we only supply the backstop) 📶 Cell service is limited — a chance to unplug 🦃 Free-ranging friendly turkeys and chickens roam the property 🐕 Dogs are welcome— FREE. 🧭 Want to explore more? 📍 St. Marys Shoals Park — just minutes away 📍 Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge — access through Okefenokee Adventures 🌅 Come slow down. 🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, y'all.

Fantastic location yet very private for base camp to access the many activities in this area, or enjoy the Toccoa River. It is the only campground in Fannin County limited to only one group at a time. Each site includes 2 access points to the Toccoa River. The Gibbs Drive community river access lot has a charcoal grill, picnic table, boat launch, swimming rock and fire pit with chairs. The Toccoa River Forest community river access lot has a big boat ramp. The river is controlled flow and usually at low water from dawn to about 2 pm, ideal for fishing or swimming/wading/boulder bopping. The River release schedule is available online at the website TVA.gov. The River has swift current when the dam is opened for release, usually daily. This property is conveniently located in Mineral Bluff, Georgia 30559, just 4 miles off the 4-lane highway (Highway 515/76) and just a short drive to Blue Ridge, Georgia; Blairsville, Georgia; Murphy, North Carolina, McCaysville, Georgia and Copper Hill, Tennessee.

We have a working farm with sweeping views of Lookout mountain and only 12 minutes from all the comforts of downtown Chattanooga. Our expansive 120-acre property provides campers with the freedom to choose their camping spots anywhere on the farm. Farm animals include horses, cattle, hogs, chickens, goats, bees, stocked ponds, gardens and much more. We have strategically placed signs throughout the property to help you identify potential neighbors. If you desire the company of ducks, consider setting up camp near our picturesque duck pond. For those who prefer the rustic crowing of roosters to a phone alarm, we have four chicken coops dispersed across the farm. Our horses freely roam the front pastures. The cows enjoy grazing on lush grass and taking refreshing dips in the ponds. They also relish watching the sunset from the hill's vantage point, as it offers the best view on the farm. We are a working farm with staff tending to various jobs throughout the day. We have a map to show where the camping site sits on the property. We intentionally leave some of our fields uncut. In some fields, the grass can come up above the knees. We leave that to the animals to take care of. All of our staff are super friendly and happy to help guide you to the best camping spot and answer any questions. In searching for your campsite please note that there may be livestock in and around certain areas as we rotate pastures. Potable well water can be located from the blue spigot outside of the staff housing area, in between the orange and green tiny home, and outside the outdoor shower. Embracing farm life is not just an adventure but also a valuable learning opportunity, whether you're a family or an individual seeking a taste of the countryside lifestyle. We hope to see you soon on the farm!

Georgia camping guide

Where to go

Atlanta & North Georgia

The north Georgia mountains provide some of the state’s best camping and hiking terrain, including part of the Appalachian Trail. The vast Chattahoochee National Forest is dotted with historic sites and campgrounds, while cascading waterfalls, RV camping, and glampsites await at Amicalola Falls State Park. Canyon hikes and waterfalls are among the highlights at Tallulah Gorge State park and Cloudland Canyon State Park (the latter also has yurts for rent), and Red Top Mountain State Park lies less than an hour from the state capital, Atlanta. 

Central Heartlands

Augusta, Athens, and Macon have a rich musical legacy—artists from James Brown to Otis Redding hail from these parts—plus some of Georgia’s best camping right on their doorstep. Head to Mistletoe State Park to hike, kayak, and fish on the shores of Clarkes Hill Lake; snag an RV campsite or cabin at George L. Smith State Park; or rent a cozy cottage at Indian Springs State Park.

South Georgia

Rolling farmlands form the backdrop for a road trip through South Georgia, perhaps checking into an RV park in one of the many small towns along the way. The region’s most impressive hiking trails are found in Providence Canyon State Park, along with backcountry tent sites, while Stephen C. Foster State Park is an International Dark Sky Park and a wildlife haven set on the banks of the Okefenokee Swamp.

Coastal Georgia

Georgia’s 100-mile slice of Atlantic coastline stretches down from Savannah to Cumberland Island, peppered with sandy beaches, saltwater marshes, and barrier islands. Rent a camper cabin or RV site with full hookups close to the beaches and waterways of Skidaway Island State Park, explore the biking trails or take a dolphin-spotting cruise around Tybee Island, or escape the crowds at the hike-in campsites along the Cumberland Island National Seashore.
