This park is a beautiful, scenic park. We arrived on a Monday afternoon and there were plenty of sites to choose from. While setting up, it was evident that we were going to battle mosquitoes, but this did not stop us! We had our 6 year old grandson along and he and granddad spent many hours on their bikes riding through the park. The park has 2 sections, and both are nice. We walked the Trembling Earth trail and this is absolutely the best trail we have ever seen in a State Park. Most of it is a boardwalk and there are plenty of photo opportunities along the way. The visitors center really appealed to our grandson as there was a good variety of live snakes, turtles and a couple of baby alligators. We chose to rent a small motor boat to tour the swamp ourselves, rather than take the guided tour. We enjoyed it so much that we went out two days in a row. Be aware that you will see plenty of alligators in the swamp and around the park. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. This park is not near any major towns, but the camp store is well stocked. Because of the mosquitoes problem, we did not sit outside much, but still enjoyed the week. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

WOW! What a park! If you like being away from civilization and getting back to nature, then this is the park for you! Quiet campground. Great wildlife viewing--lots of gators, birds, mosquitoes, turtles, snakes and deer. Did I mention the army of mosquitoes! We rented a small motor boat to tour the swamp instead of taking the guided tour. What a great suggestion from the ranger. We were lucky to go when we did as the yellow flies come out in mid May which make mosquitoes look like pets! I can't imagine what it would be like in the middle of summer. Ugh! The restrooms were kept VERY clean our entire trip, even though they are a little outdated. My only complaint, beside the mosquitoes, was the lack of shower/rest room facilities for the campground. Too many campers and not enough facilities made for a wait each morning and evening. You will have to pay an additional fee ($5) to get in the park, because the state park is actually located inside the Federally protected swamp. You can see where the fires burned portions of the park. It is truly amazing to see how fast it is recovering. We loved this place despite the mosquitoes, (did I mention mosquitoes?)we are planning a return trip next year for spring break. What a jewel of a park! Nothing else like it. My 2 boys, 11 and 9, loved this park. Like other posters have said--make sure you have everything you need because it is a ride to get anything and come back. The camp store has a few necessities, but I can tell you personally that they don't stock milk! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A really beautiful state park but very remote - at least 50 miles to the nearest fuel and groceries. No cell phone service. Sites are grass and are level and spacious, separated by vegetation. Most sites are heavily wooded but several are satellite friendly. All sites have 20/30/50amp electricity, water , and basic cable TV. There are only about 8 sites for big rigs and Loop A is not accessible to anything over about 30 ft. Bring mosquito repellent - it is a swamp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you like quiet, out of the way campgrounds with beautiful scenery and nothing to do but enjoy it, then Steven Foster State Park is for you. It is located 17 miles from Fargo, GA on a pine island in Okefenokee Swamp and is part of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. (Because the State Park is in the National Refuge you may use a Golden Age passport for a 20% discount on the campsite fee.). The sites are large, private, and very wooded. Even the pull through sites have great shade. There is a great nature trail, most of which is on an elevated boardwalk through the swamp. The park offers canoe and boat rentals for excursions out into the lakes. There is also a guided boat tour that takes you out alligator watching. We saw alligators everywhere on the banks and in the water. We also saw Anhinga, cormorant, and pileated woodpeckers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
