Bells Marina Campground

2 RV Sites, 1 Cabin

On the northern shore of Lake Marion—South Carolina's largest lake—Bells Marina Campground delivers the full waterfront camping experience without the complexity that larger resort destinations often bring. Located near the small community of Eutawville in the South Carolina Lowcountry, the campground is built around a full-service marina and blends water recreation, comfortable accommodations, and access to a surprisingly rich regional landscape into one well-rounded destination. Whether you arrive by road or by water, the experience centers on the lake from the moment you pull in. The full-service marina sits at the heart of the property, giving guests direct boat access to Lake Marion's vast surface area—roughly 110,000 acres of water spread across the former Santee River bottomland. RV sites, cabins, glamping accommodations, and hotel-style rooms give the campground the flexibility to host everything from a solo fishing trip to a family reunion. Kayaking and paddleboarding let guests explore the shallower coves and cypress stands at a slower pace, while the campground restaurant means dinner doesn't require a drive to town. Bird watching is exceptional along the lake margins, where great blue herons, osprey, and bald eagles work the water year-round and the cypress-lined coves provide outstanding habitat. Lake Marion has earned a well-deserved reputation among anglers as one of the premier bass fisheries in the Southeast. Largemouth bass, stripers, catfish, and crappie are all well-represented, and the flooded timber and cypress-studded coves that define much of the lake's interior provide ideal structure for a productive day on the water. The surrounding Lowcountry landscape amplifies the wildlife experience: alligators sun themselves along the banks, wood ducks move through the cypress swamps, and the entire area carries the lush, subtropical feel of the South Carolina interior at its most atmospheric. The regional draw extends well beyond the lake. Congaree National Park—the last significant old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in the Southeast—lies within reach for a half-day trip through ancient trees and elevated boardwalk trails. The Eutaw Springs Battlefield, site of one of the final engagements of the American Revolutionary War's Southern campaign, preserves important history just minutes away. Santee National Wildlife Refuge and Indian Bluff Recreation Park expand the natural options, while six golf courses within fifteen minutes keep links enthusiasts well supplied. The combination of history, wildlife, and water recreation gives this part of the South Carolina Lowcountry genuine staying power. Bells Marina is a year-round destination, and each season brings something different to the lake. Spring and fall offer ideal fishing conditions and comfortable temperatures for outdoor exploration, while summer keeps the water recreation humming. The mix of RV sites, cabins, and glamping accommodations makes it accessible to visitors at every comfort level, from hard-core anglers to families looking for a Lowcountry getaway. Whether you're planning a serious bass fishing trip, a history-minded tour of the Santee Cooper country, or simply want to spend a few nights on South Carolina's biggest lake, Bells Marina Campground has the waterfront setting and the facilities to make it memorable. Book your spot and get on the water.

Backwater RV Park

30 RV Sites

Backwater RV Park in Abbeville, Alabama, spans over 45 acres in Henry County with campsites equipped for 30 and 50-amp hookups — a spacious south Alabama campground in the Chattahoochee River watershed near the Georgia border, where the Walter F. George Lake's bass and crappie fishery, the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge's waterfowl habitat, and the historic river port community of Eufaula give guests the specific southeast Alabama outdoor recreation and antebellum heritage access of a campground at the edge of the Alabama-Georgia border lake and plantation country. Abbeville's Henry County position on US-431 south of Dothan gives the park its practical southeast Alabama highway access between the Wiregrass region's agricultural communities and the Eufaula bluff-top city whose antebellum architecture and the Lake Eufaula bass fishery give the Chattahoochee valley its specific combination of historical heritage and freshwater recreation. More than 45 acres of spacious campground with 30 and 50-amp hookups give Backwater RV Park the open, uncrowded character of a Henry County property whose acreage gives sites the breathing room that the more densely developed small-acre campground cannot provide — the 45-acre extent means that site spacing, natural vegetation buffers between neighbors, and the property's specific countryside character of a south Alabama rural campground give guests the relaxed open-country camping environment that the campground's Henry County agricultural landscape sustains. Pets are welcome. Walter F. George Lake (Lake Eufaula), on the Chattahoochee River on the Alabama-Georgia state line in Barbour, Henry, and Russell Counties, is the largest lake in Alabama — a 45,181-acre Corps of Engineers reservoir that sustains the most productive largemouth bass fishery in the state and one of the top ten bass lakes in the eastern United States by tournament circuit visitation. The lake's Stripers, crappie, and the trophy largemouth bass give the Walter F. George reservoir the multi-species fishing appeal that the Major League Fishing and Bassmaster tournament schedules consistently place in the top tier of southeastern bass tournament venues. Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, 15 miles north of Abbeville on US-431 in Barbour County, protects 11,184 acres of the Chattahoochee River floodplain that give the refuge's wintering waterfowl and the Wood Duck nesting population the bottomland hardwood and shallow impoundment habitat that the Eufaula area's Chattahoochee floodplain specifically preserves in the most productive waterfowl refuge in the Alabama-Georgia Coastal Plain. The refuge's goose and duck hunting season and the waterfowl observation drive give the Abbeville campground's guests the wildlife access in the winter months that the bass fishing season supplements in the spring and fall. Backwater RV Park serves guests year-round in Henry County's southeast Alabama climate, where the mild winters sustain the year-round Chattahoochee valley outdoor recreation and the spring bass spawn season from February through April representing the peak bass fishing demand on Lake Eufaula. Eufaula, 20 miles north of Abbeville on US-431 in Barbour County, is the "Town of Gentle Living" — a bluff-top city above the Chattahoochee with the most concentrated collection of antebellum Greek Revival mansions in Alabama outside of Mobile, preserved in the Shorter Mansion, the Hart House, and the Kendall Manor along the US-431 historic corridor that the Eufaula Heritage Association maintains as the most intact antebellum streetscape in the Black Belt. Reserve sites ahead for the spring bass spawn tournament season and the Eufaula Pilgrimage in March.

Shell Harbour RV Resort

27 RV Sites, 2 Cabins

On the broad, tannin-stained St. Johns River in Satsuma, a small community in Putnam County midway between Jacksonville and Gainesville along Florida State Road 17, Shell Harbour RV Resort has created one of northeast Florida's most waterfront-complete RV and cabin destinations—a 14-acre property with two serene ponds, a full-service marina, and direct river frontage that puts guests on one of Florida's most ecologically significant and beautiful river systems. The resort's full-hookup RV sites, cozy cabins, motel rooms, and yurt rentals serve the full accommodation spectrum alongside an infinity pool, tiki bar, on-site restaurant, and the adjacent boat ramp access that makes Shell Harbour as much a river recreation destination as a campground. Full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service provide the utility infrastructure alongside on-site laundry and a general store, while cabin, motel room, and yurt rental accommodations extend the lodging options for guests who arrive without an RV. The infinity pool overlooking the river, a tiki bar, an on-site restaurant, and the vending services create the resort-level amenity package that makes Shell Harbour more than a transit stop for Florida River Road travelers. The pet-friendly environment and the regular social events—potlucks, community gatherings, and the campground culture that long-term guests develop—give the park a residential warmth alongside its resort amenities. The St. Johns River, one of America's most distinctive waterways in its northward course from central Florida to its Atlantic mouth near Jacksonville, provides the defining natural setting for Shell Harbour—a river wide enough at Satsuma to feel genuinely oceanic in scale and productive enough in its bass, crappie, and catfish fisheries to anchor a fishing-focused stay for multiple days without exhausting the accessible water. The adjacent public boat ramp gives guests with trailers immediate St. Johns River access, and the full-service marina provides fuel, slips, and support services for boaters arriving by water rather than by road. The St. Johns River's upper reaches in Putnam County preserve some of northeast Florida's most pristine riverine ecosystem—a corridor of cypress swamps, live oak banks, and the floating plant communities that support the river's legendary birdlife, including great blue herons, wood storks, anhingas, and the osprey that nest in the riverside cypress throughout Putnam County. Palatka, the Putnam County seat about 10 miles south, provides the historic downtown character of one of northeast Florida's oldest river cities, and the Ravines Golf Club's dramatic Ravines State Park—a deep ravine carved into the Putnam County plateau by ancient streams—provides an extraordinary natural landscape accessible within a short drive of the campground. Northeast Florida's subtropical climate supports year-round camping at Shell Harbour, with the most comfortable outdoor conditions arriving from October through April when the intense summer humidity moderates and the St. Johns River's fishing productivity peaks in the cooler-water periods that concentrate bass and crappie in the river's productive bends. Summer's warm water and the tiki bar's social atmosphere make July and August the most active period for boat-based recreation and the resort's pool and gathering spaces. The combination of river access, a full marina, pool, restaurant, and tiki bar makes Shell Harbour a genuinely self-contained resort destination rather than simply a campground with a riverside view.

Hill's Landing & RV Park

Hill's Landing & RV Park in Cross, South Carolina, offers full-hookup RV sites on a big-rig-friendly property between Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie, with a marina, boat ramp, boat docks, boat storage, and on-site fishing guides. A general store, laundry, and on-site dining serve anglers in Santee Cooper country. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on a layout sized for big rigs. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals and boat storage for guests who leave a boat between trips. The marina is the property's center. A boat ramp and boat docks give direct access to the Santee Cooper system, and on-site fishing guides are available — a real advantage on water this large, where local knowledge separates a productive day from a long one. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all run from the property, with walking trails, hiking, biking, corn hole, and strong birding besides. Cross sits in Berkeley County on US-176 between Moncks Corner and Santee, on the isthmus between South Carolina's two largest lakes. Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie together cover 110,000 acres and form the most celebrated freshwater striped bass and catfish fishery in the American Southeast. A state park is nearby. Fishing season runs long in the Lowcountry, with spring striper runs and fall drawing the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead if you are booking around a guide trip.

Stone Mountain Park Campground

264 RV Sites, 40 Tent Sites, 3 Glamping Sites, 17 Yurts, 6 Onsite RV/Trailers

Stone Mountain Park Campground in Georgia offers 270 RV sites, 40 tent sites, and 20 glamping and yurt units inside the park's 3,200-acre property, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 90 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full hookup, super site, and cabled categories join a lake, kayak rentals, and pool, 16 miles from Atlanta. Two hundred seventy sites span full hookup RV, full hookup super site, and full hookup with cable categories, along with four- and six-person rental trailers, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 90 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Forty tent sites and 20 glamping and yurt units round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, showers, and a gated entrance handle the practical side. Cancellations more than five days before arrival are refunded less a $30 fee. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a lake supporting kayak rentals, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming. Sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds. Staying inside the park is the advantage — the mountain, the family attractions, and the natural spectacle that draw Georgia's visitors are all within the gates rather than a drive away. Pets are welcome. Summer and fall drive demand at one of Georgia's most visited destinations. Reserve well ahead.

Crescent Fish Camp

16 RV Sites, 4 Cottages, 1 House, 2 Tiny Houses

At 100 Grove Avenue on the southern shore of Crescent Lake in Crescent City, Florida—in Putnam County where Crescent Lake's 15,000-acre natural basin and the St. Johns River watershed create the freshwater fishing and paddling environment that the northeast Florida interior maintains in one of the state's largest undeveloped natural lake systems—Crescent Fish Camp provides full hookup RV sites, a swimming pool, a full-service marina with boat fuel, a boat ramp, a fishing pier with fish cleaning station, kayak rentals, a bait and tackle shop, a fitness center, a dog run, yard games, and event venue facilities in the lakefront RV resort and marina configuration that the Crescent City outdoor recreation community has built its angling and boating identity around for generations. The full-service marina, the kayak launch for the Crescent Lake Paddling Trail, and the fishing pier with cleaning station together constitute the complete water-access infrastructure that makes Crescent Fish Camp genuinely different from a lakefront campground that simply occupies a lake-adjacent position without organized water access. Full hookup RV sites in the Crescent Lake waterfront setting accommodate the full range of RV sizes with electric, water, and sewer connections. An outdoor swimming pool with lounge chairs, a gazebo, and lake views provides the aquatic recreation for paying guests and members. The marina provides three boat slips for rent, a fuel station serving both on-water fueling and land-based fill-up, and a boat ramp with free launch for registered guests—a $10 day-use fee applies for non-guests—giving the complete marina infrastructure for the fishing and pleasure boat guest who arrives with or without a trailered watercraft. A fishing pier extends over Crescent Lake with a fish cleaning station at the end, providing the bank fishing access with cleaning infrastructure that visiting anglers depend on after a successful morning on the water. Kayak rentals at $15 for a three-hour session provide the paddling option with direct access to the Crescent Lake Paddling Trail from the camp's dock. A live bait and tackle shop provides the terminal tackle, live shiners, and the local knowledge that Crescent Lake's bass fishing specifically requires. A general store, clubhouse with fitness center, dog run for pets, and yard games complete the non-water amenity profile. The event venue capability for weddings, fishing tournaments, birthday parties, and family gatherings makes Crescent Fish Camp a multi-use destination beyond its overnight camping mission. Crescent Lake's largemouth bass fishery—part of the St. Johns River system that produces some of the largest trophy largemouth bass in the eastern United States—provides the primary fishing attraction in the hydrilla beds, lily pad flats, and the natural spring-influenced water clarity that Crescent Lake's undeveloped shoreline maintains. FWC slot limit management has contributed to the large-fish presence that attracts tournament anglers from across northeast Florida. The Ocala National Forest—accessible from the Crescent City area—encompasses 607,000 acres of longleaf and sand pine scrub habitat with over 600 lakes and the Alexander Springs and Silver Glen Springs recreation areas that provide the cold-water spring swimming and snorkeling that northeast Florida's tourist infrastructure has marketed for over a century. Crescent Fish Camp is open year-round. The spring bass spawning season from February through April represents the most consistently productive bass fishing period on Crescent Lake. The winter months from November through March provide the snowbird camping season for the guests who park their rigs on Crescent Lake's southern shore for extended lakefront access. Reserve the lakefront site early for spring tournament season, rent the kayak for the paddling trail, and let Crescent Lake's bass-rich St. Johns River watershed earn the northeast Florida freshwater campground experience that the region's undeveloped lake country specifically delivers.

Jasmine Breeze RV Park

2 RV Sites

Jasmine Breeze RV Park in Old Town, Florida, is a four-acre riverside campground in Dixie County on the lower Suwannee River — a full-hookup, Wi-Fi-connected park within an hour of Gainesville and Cedar Key in the Nature Coast's river and spring country that gives guests the specific combination of old Florida river character, first-magnitude spring access, and the Gulf coast fishing village heritage of Cedar Key that the unspoiled Suwannee River corridor and the Big Bend coast preserve as one of the most ecologically intact and most historically distinctive rural Florida landscapes remaining in the state. Old Town's Dixie County position on the lower Suwannee, 10 miles from the river's Gulf mouth, gives the campground its specific Nature Coast identity. Full-hookup RV sites with Wi-Fi and the essential campground infrastructure give Jasmine Breeze the comfortable practical base for extended Dixie County and Nature Coast stays — the campground's small, four-acre scale gives it the intimate character that large-volume RV parks structurally cannot provide, and the riverside Old Town location gives guests the Suwannee River access that Stephen Foster's 1851 "Old Folks at Home" immortalized in one of the most enduring and most specifically named landscape songs in American popular music, even though Foster himself never visited the Suwannee he wrote into the national consciousness. Pets are welcome. Manatee Springs State Park, seven miles north of Old Town in Levy County, is one of Florida's most extraordinary first-magnitude springs — a spring that discharges 117 million gallons per day of 68-degree crystal-clear water into the Suwannee River through a 30-foot-wide main boil and a river-level boardwalk that gives visitors the direct view of the spring's underwater character and the West Indian manatees that congregate in the spring run during winter months. The spring's Suwannee River discharge gives paddlers the spring-to-river float that connects the crystal spring clarity to the tannin-dark Suwannee in a short canoe or kayak trip of extraordinary ecological contrast. Cedar Key, 25 miles southwest of Old Town on the Gulf of Mexico via State Route 24, is one of Florida's oldest and most historically significant small coastal communities — a fishing village on a cluster of Gulf of Mexico islands where the Cedar Key National Wildlife Refuge protects the nesting bird colonies and the aquaculture operations that sustain the clam farming economy that has replaced the 19th-century pencil mill and net fisheries as Cedar Key's economic identity. The Cedar Key Museum State Park preserves the community's 19th-century history, and the Second Street arts and antiques district, the waterfront restaurants, and the Cedar Key Seafood Festival sustain the village's tourism identity in a format that avoids the commercialization that Florida's more accessible coastal communities have been unable to resist. Jasmine Breeze RV Park serves guests year-round in Dixie County's subtropical North Florida climate, where the winter manatee season at Manatee Springs from November through March and the spring and fall kayaking and river fishing seasons represent the primary outdoor recreation windows for the Suwannee corridor. The Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, a 170-mile paddling route from the Okefenokee Swamp to the Gulf of Mexico, passes through the Old Town area and gives the campground its specific appeal for multi-day paddling trip staging and resupply. Reserve sites ahead for the winter manatee season and the Cedar Key Seafood Festival weekend in October, when the Nature Coast visitor market fills Dixie County's limited accommodation inventory.

Pine Island Campground and Marina

26 RV Sites, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 Tiny House

On the eastern shore of Lake George in Putnam County, Florida, Pine Island Campground and Marina offers the rare combination of direct lake access, a working marina, and comfortable RV accommodations on one of the most ecologically significant lakes in the St. Johns River system. Lake George—the second-largest lake in Florida—sits at the heart of a waterway network that connects springs, river channels, and wildlife refuges, and Pine Island's position on that network makes it one of the most compelling water-access RV parks in Central Florida. Whether your priorities run toward bass fishing, spring-fed swimming holes, or simply watching the morning light come across the lake, this is a campground that rewards guests who use the water. RV sites with 30 and 50-amp full hookup service are complemented by individual fire pits and picnic tables, coin-operated laundry, clean shower facilities, and a dump station centrally located for convenience. The marina operation adds a layer of capability that typical campgrounds can't offer: 20 covered boat slips, a boat ramp with easy launch access, pontoon rental, kayak rentals, and ethanol-free fuel on-site. A 22-foot Lexington pontoon is available for full-day rental—the preferred choice for guests heading to Silver Glen Springs, exploring the wildlife refuges along the lake, or seeking waterfront dining options accessible only by boat. A coffee and bait counter and camp store round out the daily convenience needs. Tiny house lakefront accommodations are available for guests who prefer to forgo the RV setup. Lake George is a landscape of exceptional ecological richness. The lake sits within the Ocala National Forest waterway system and provides access to Silver Glen Springs—one of the iconic first-magnitude springs of the Florida system—along with Alexander Springs, Juniper Springs, and the broad, tannin-dark waters of the St. Johns River itself. Manatee sightings near the springs are common in cooler months, and the lake's bird life—ospreys, bald eagles, great blue herons, and wading birds of every variety—provides constant entertainment for guests who keep binoculars on the picnic table. The broader Lake George region offers a historical depth that complements the natural setting well. The Ocala National Forest, one of the nation's oldest national forests, surrounds the waterway with hiking trails, off-road opportunities, and some of the most extensive longleaf pine restoration in the Southeast. The town of Palatka is within reasonable range for provisioning and historical exploration, and the Spring-to-Spring Trail connects multiple natural springs through the forest. Crescent City, Deland, and the St. Johns River corridor provide additional day-trip destinations for guests who want to range beyond the lake. Pine Island Campground and Marina operates year-round in the warm Central Florida climate, and each season brings distinct character. Winter is prime manatee season at the springs, spring and fall offer the best bass fishing conditions on Lake George, and summer brings the full subtropical lushness that makes Florida's freshwater corridor so distinctive. Waterfront sites and marina slips book ahead for holiday weekends and peak fishing season, so early reservations are recommended for preferred positions. Pack the fishing rods, arrange a pontoon rental, and let Lake George set the pace for a Florida water-country experience that goes well beyond the theme-park circuit.
