For Stephen C Foster State Park: Remote location to enjoy the wilderness. Bring bug spray and pants and long sleeved shirts. Well maintained with level sites. Camp trading post has essentials and canoe/kayak/motor boat rentals. Stayed 2 nights in 25' class C.

For Stephen C Foster State Park: Sites level, good roads, most 30 amps but pull trus are 50 amps, big sites with privacy and the best for last is the bathrooms are excellent. They were heated with individual locked showers,toilet and sinks with changing area and the scenery was excellent too😃

For Stephen C Foster State Park: This is a great park if you enjoy the outdoors and like staying in remote areas (i.e. no cell service). There are number of hiking trails and boat rentals that allow you to explore the swamp. Stayed two nights in a 35 ft Class A during early March, so weather was mild with few bugs. Arrived after a heavy rain, so there was lots of standing water and some of some of the sites were flooded. Limited number of sites that would fit a 35 ft rig, and only 59-64 (pull through sites) have 50 Amp Service. Loop for sites 1-26 is narrow and twisty with lots of ruts - would not have been able to get our rig through. Even the road for sites 27-58 was narrow and twisty with some low hanging branches, but navigable. Did not use any of the campsite facilities. Gave it 4 stars as I think this is a very unique park, but the price ($35/night + tax) is a little high and the condition of the campground roads is not the best. This was our second time here (stayed in Feb 2019), and would definitely come back if we are in the area.

For Stephen C Foster State Park: Our site was clean and maintained because we got to pick it upon arrival. I wouldn’t advise booking online, some sites are in very bad shape. The bathrooms are full of spider webs and you can tell they haven’t been cleaned or maintained in weeks. The whole staff lives on site, because the closet town is 20 miles away. Make sure you fill up with fuel before you start into the reserve. We seen alligators and about 5 cotton mouth snakes. Too close for comfort. We planned on staying a few day but only stayed 1. The area is beautiful if you like the outdoors like we do. Don’t count on the facilities unless you like to shower with spiders and snakes. Lol

For Stephen C Foster State Park: Like everyone else, we loved this place. HINT: if you go in warm weather, take a cheap box fan AND don't select the most private place you can find.....Select the most open so the slight breezes will help with the gnats- that is also what box fan is for also. Bring bikes or rent them.

For Stephen C Foster State Park: Charming Campground has nicely sized sites. Vegetation throughout the Campground provides a sense of privacy. There are two showers in each restroom. The handicapped shower, toilet, and sink are together in one stall. It is a short walk from the Campground to the dock and park store. Canoes and motor boats are available for rent and there is a very interesting 1.5 hr swamp boat tour that runs several times a day

For Stephen C Foster State Park: We were looking for a CG that would be convenient and an able us to explore the Okefenokee Swamp area. We're self contained and don't use the facilities except for an occasional shower. We visited on a weekend in October.
This was a very nice campground. The sites were gravel and mostly level and nicely arranged. The back in sites were a good size, mostly shady and relatively private. The pull through sites had some shade and were more open. The rangers were helpful and friendly. There's no wifi. ATT and Verizon cell service was usable. The showers were clean with lots of hot water.
The park offers a swamp boat tour ($15) that leaves from the trading post about a mile from the campground. The 2-hour tour was beautiful. TP for tour hours. There are several trails near the campground, including a boardwalk through a portion of a swamp. There was wildlife everywhere, including deer, raccoons, alligators, turtles, many types of birds. The rangers provided a calendar of interpretive talks and events.
