Weekend Trip to Private RV Site Full Hookup

We were attending a family reunion in Ft Gaines, this "Private RV Site" was perfect!! This site has full hook ups and is easy locate. Following instructions of the owner and we were able to back into the site with no issues with our 36 foot fifth wheel. Robert is excellant in communicating and answering questions. This is our second time staying here.

Weekend Trip to Gullatte Acres

Enjoyed my stay on the way to the beach. Sites were large and nicely mowed. Bathroom and shower were close and clean. Power was a plus for my small ac. My small converted van made it easily down a mowed path to the sites. Would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Pine And Oak Campsite

This space is big and great for pets! We were enjoying the quiet and easy access. Thanks to the host for quick responses and grace .

1 night at Piney Hills Campground

Lisa and James were very gracious hosts. We enjoyed the tranquilly of their property and the many different animals to visit and pet. We were exhausted when we arrived due to unexpected delays while traveling but they made our stay relaxed and restful .

Great camping spot, quiet, relaxing, love the outdoor shower

1 night at Piney Hills Campground

Lisa & James have a cozy set up. The showers were clean and the aminals were friendly. We were only here for a night, but highly recommend! Just bring your food and drinks beforehand. Not much for dining close by.

1 night at Southern Dreams Ranch

Who wouldn't want to wake up in a pasture with serenity, horses, greenery and all the wholesome things that go a long with that? Even enjoy the ride on country roads just to get there. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Weekend Trip to Piney Hills Campground

Piney Hills Campground was amazing place to stay. The a-frame was great, even had ac so when we went into the a-frame. The farm has amazing animals that are so sweet and love to be shown love! We even did the covered wagon ride to the winery which was an add on, a wonderful experience where we got to see great views and different sites in Mauk. If you are able you should definitely take the trip to the winery! Can’t wait for our next trip up there!

Weekend Trip to Piney Hills Campground

This is becoming a very nice campground. It’s still a work in progress but the facilities are all first class. We stayed in a pull thru with electric and water. Nice views if the adjacent animal farm. A new bathhouse on the premises with four individual complete bathroom shower combo. They have a laundry area and the host will also sell you firewood. It’s a nice place but it’s out of the way. The road to the campground is red dirt so either you’re going to have a cloud of dust or mud when it has rained. The tent area has a great tree canopy but the rv spots are in a tree less area so it’s nice if you have air conditioning in your rig. Would probably go there again if in the vicinity

Weekend Trip to Camp Travelhick-Eufaula, Al

This is a great halfway stop between Atlanta area and Panama City or Forgotten Coast area. The place is secure and convenient. It's much more than a place to park. We loved the pavilion with fans,, tables, grill, and lights.

Weekend Trip to The Pecan Orchard CampGrounds

Very peaceful spot! Great location to camp if you're visiting Providence Canyon State Park.

Weekend Trip to The Pecan Orchard CampGrounds

A hidden gem in an area resplendent with hotels and motels. Great tent sites, plenty of space so you're not likely to trample into anyone's space.

1 night at Piney Hills Campground

My daughter grandson and I had the most amazing time. Saw the most beautiful animals and views already making plans to come back.

1 night at Piney Hills Campground

I absolutely loved my stay here! I actually ended up coming back to stay again on the same trip! I stayed at site 3 the first night and it was spacious, but also not so far away from others that I felt isolated. The dark skies were beautiful, and the campground was super quiet. I loved seeing the horses right across from us! My second night was at site 10 and it was super spacious. Lisa was super helpful and friendly, and Mike who helps with grounds was a lifesaver when my car wouldn’t start the morning of checkout. The bathrooms were cute and very clean— they exceeded my expectations and having a full shower was such a bonus while camping! The aframes were adorable and I can’t wait to see what else they develop on this campground! So glad I found this place—10/10 recommended!

1 night at Piney Hills Campground

What a perfect place to camp! With the campground situated on a farm with a locking gate at the front, you feel safe yet immersed in nature. I had two horses come up to my campsite in the morning. They’re so friendly! This was my first time camping alone, as I’ve camped with family many times in the past. Light a fire first to see where smoke is blowing, then set up your tent. I found a nice decently flat spot. I would recommend this to anyone. I hope to be back in the future.

1 night at Gullatte Acres

Pretty setting. Enjoyed a quiet evening, nice breeze and night sky. Too warm for a fire but there was a supply of wood near the fire circle. Prompt and clear response to request for help finding the place. Signage on the property was helpful.

1 night at Gullatte Acres

Quiet, Secluded no one around with hot shower, toilet and potable water

2 nights at Camp Travelhick-Eufaula, Al

We had a great stay at Camp Travelhick! Very secure gated camp ground. We did check out the trails down to the fishing pond. Very nice facilities.

Blackbird Farm

We are a working aquaponics farm, located in Marion Co Georgia. From maps it shows that we are about 13 miles straight line distance from Columbus Georgia. That would be true if you could drive through Fort Moore, which you can't so in reality we are actually about 35 mins or 23 miles from Columbus. The drive is pleasant with very little traffic. Our campsite sits beyond the gate in front of our small farm/general store. There are rustic bathrooms with hot water, free WiFi and plenty to do! We encourage you to hike, bike, and explore. The store is not open at this time, and the Greenhouse is available by request. Deer, coyotes, wild hogs, and other creatures roam freely. Any pets must stay fully leashed at all times (see below). Our day starts early in the summer as we harvest for market. We make every effort to be very quiet, but the field crops are close to your camp site. We will never run a tractor until after 11am. You may hear the greenhouse fans kick on starting around 9am when the system starts warming up. Pets - Are welcome if contained on a leash at all times. Bathrooms - are located next to the store and a short walk from your tent site. Site - Is on level ground for tents campers RV vans and more. There is a fire pit, picnic table and water spigot. The water is not well water and comes from the county main water line. There is a main highway leading up to our gate so you do not have to off road to get to the property.

Camping in Providence Canyon State Park guide

Overview

About

Providence Canyon is often called “Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon,” but this park has an entirely different backstory. Rather than being naturally formed via a powerful river, this canyon is the result of short-sighted, 19th-century agricultural practices that created deep gullies—up to 150 feet deep in some places. Today, these gullies are excellent places to explore. Stroll along the rim trail, or take a hike inside the deepest canyons. If one day isn’t enough, you can camp at one of the backcountry sites along the backcountry trail, which highlights portions of the canyon and winds through mixed forest.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Providence Canyon campsites are popular, especially in summer, so booking in advance is recommended.
Bookings can easily be done online and up to one year in advance.
Go ahead and book if you see a date you want—reservations can be changed one time without penalty (although additional changes will incur a fee).

When to go

Providence Canyon State Park is open year-round. Winter might be the best time to visit, as the absence of foliage makes the landscape even more dramatic and the dark night skies provide excellent stargazing. On the other hand, the rare plumleaf azalea grows only in this region and blooms during July and August when most other azaleas have lost their color.

Know before you go

A ParkPass is required for all vehicles and is not included with a reservation. Overnight guests pay only one ParkPass fee for the duration of their stay.

The hike-in distance to the closest campsite from the parking lot is two miles and is considered strenuous.
Visitors are urged to use caution on trails and to not go beyond fences or overlooks. Erosion can cause the canyon walls to collapse.
Campers must check in at the Providence Canyon visitor's center with sufficient time to hike to their campsite before dusk.

Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area Campground

Absolutely stunning. It stands as a warning to all about the hazards of poor land management, yet, there is a stark beauty that isn't seen elsewhere in the southeastern United States. The canyon provides plenty of elevation for a great hike. There are streams and forests of amazing beauty. There are primitive group and hike-in sites which are popular with Scouts and other avid campers. It's worth checking out Florence Marina if you want more facilities but easy access to the canyon. Bundle up well in the winter. It can drop below freezing.
