Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

35 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Okefenokee Pastimes in Folkston, GA, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites, 5 cabins, 16 tent sites, and 4 glamping sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 75 feet. Sites come in three RV categories — back-in, partial pull-through, and full pull-through — plus premium tent sites. All carry water, sewer, and electric. At 75 feet the pull-throughs take long coaches. The property is open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills, a dump station, a recreation center, and on-site dining. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The standout amenity is a dark sky astronomy field — this corner of Georgia has almost no light pollution, and the campground built for it. A pond, walking trails, sport courts, basketball, pickleball, and a playground fill the rest, with fishing and birding on the property. Folkston sits just outside the main entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge — 400,000 acres of blackwater swamp, one of the largest intact freshwater wetlands in North America. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. New moon weekends draw the astronomy crowd and book early.

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground

838 RV Sites, 28 Cabins, 1 Apartment, 1 Treehouse

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground in Live Oak, Florida, offers 838 full-hookup RV sites and 30 apartment, cabin, and treehouse units across more than 800 acres on the Suwannee River, with 30 and 50-amp service. Back-in and pull-in categories at both amperages join water-and-electric tiers, alongside a world-class music venue, disc golf course, and pool. Eight hundred thirty-eight sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, back-in 50-amp water-and-electric, back-in water-and-electric, pull-in 30-amp, and pull-in categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi. Check which tier you are booking — the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Thirty apartments, cabins, and treehouses round out an unusually varied lodging inventory. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a lake, river, and beach supporting swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. A disc golf course, recreation center, game room, playground, pavilion, walking trails, hiking, golf cart rentals, on-site dining, and a bar fill the grounds, with live music, planned activities, and productive birding besides. The property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The music venue is the reason this place has no direct equivalent anywhere in the country — hundreds of acres of old-growth Florida forest, a working festival ground, and a full-service campground that have coexisted for decades. Festival weekends fill the park months ahead. Check the concert calendar and reserve as early as you can.
