Kolomoki Mounds State Park i USA

Last year, we spent a week at this location and enjoyed it immensely. So, when we spotted an attractive spot by the lake over the weekend, we immediately took it! It's possible that someone else had cancelled their reservation... We particularly love sites 3 and 6. The trails and geocaching are great. It's also convenient to have laundry facilities and a book swap. We happened to be here on a day when the museum waived its admission fee - the pottery exhibition was amazing and quite interesting. It's definitely worth checking out even when there's an entry fee. We noticed that our cell reception was better this year, probably due to our upgraded phones.

Discover this hidden treasure of a state park, located just off US 27 in the southwestern region of Georgia. With only 21 camping spots nestled around a serene lake, there's an abundance of activities to keep you entertained. Approximately half of the camping spots offer stunning views of the water, with sites 18 and above tucked away against dense forests at the rear. Each impeccably clean site is equipped with water, electricity, a picnic table, grill, and fire pit. If you're keen on spending time on the lake, there's a boat launch and a variety of rental options including paddle boats, kayaks, and canoes. A quaint playground is situated within the campground and the day-use area is packed with activities such as mini-golf, a sandy beach, numerous hiking trails, and a well-supplied camp store. Be sure to visit the museum to learn about the Kolomoki culture and the history of the mound excavations! The town of Blakely is roughly 10 minutes away for grocery shopping and a selection of local eateries. Cell service may be spotty in this area, but a stronger signal can be found a few blocks away at the visitor center. Take this opportunity to finish your book or simply breathe in the fresh air!

This is a small quiet campground. The frogs serenade you to sleep at night. The staff only speaks when they are spoken to first. There were a lot of gnats but that is common at this time of year. I wish that Georgia's online reservation system would give the senior discount online but you must request the discount when you check in. The mounds and Native American history was very interesting. We did not walk the trails on this trip because of the heat but plan to walk the trails on our next reservation in November. We enjoyed watching the water and wildlife. The camp sites all look level. If you want water views or camping lakefront, choose sites 1 - 13. Campsites 14 - 24 are nice wooded sites. All the sites were nicely shaded.

Stopped in for a short overnight, heading north to Callaway Gardens from SW Florida. First time here. Beautiful lakefront setting, didn’t get to explore too much, but quiet campsite. Previous site occupant left large piles of dog waste all around the utility pedestal-very rude! Cell service almost nonexistent for both ATT and Verizon.

This is a nice small state park campground. The site was a pull thru but was curved and very narrow even for my small rig. We had a view of the lake and no neighbors. The bath house was closed but they had provided a portable bath house that was nice. There are several hike but we only had time to check out the mounds.
