Owner very friendly, and had many suggestions for local sightseeing. Wifi signal was strong, and showers were great--individual rooms with toilet and sink. Unfortunately some idiot in the neighborhood had to fire up his Harley repeatedly at 1 am. And the bugs (sand flies) were pretty bad. The owner offered to sell us some bug lotion for $5.50, while admitting that it worked for some people, not for others. We made do with our own bug spray, but these people need to implement some solution to deal with bugs. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice clean park. Bathrooms very large and clean. Friendly owners that were very knowledgeable of the local area and attractions. Mixture of paved roads and sites and dirt. More of the park is about to be paved. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent, friendly management team - husband, wife and adult son. Mixed concrete sites (11) and grassy gravel sites. Level and VERY spacious wide sites. Roads are mix of paved and excellent marble base for future paving. Restrooms are private, large and very clean. This is a new park with improvements continuing daily. Once all sites are concrete and roads paved this park will be a 10. Rate stated is based on a weekly rate. We will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here based off this RV review web site. The campground is still under major construction. We were the only overnighters staying the weekend. The owners and their son were very nice. The campsite was concrete with full hook-ups excluding cable. My wife loved the farm animals wondering around. This campground is ok for no kids, children would get bored very quickly. We will come back when we need a good quite place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new RV Park and they are still adding sites, I found it to be very nice. Some sites have concrete pads. I didn't mind parking on dirt (they will be concreting all the sites) The Park itself is located a minute or 2 from the Crooked River State Park..Their still in the growing stages. They have Sunday's Pot Luck which is very nice, There is a pond, I enjoyed watching the birds around it..The lots are nice size..The owners are very nice and hope to have satellite hooked up soon.. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
You can make reservations here but not site specific and I believe that is the way Georgia does it for most of their state parks. This campground is on the coast situated on the Crooked River. There are over 500 acres with campsites, cottages, picnic shelters, pioneer group campground, nature center, boat ramp, dock and a miniature golf that cost $2 per person open year round. One can ride bikes on the roads but not on the trails. This park is known for all the different birds that stop here on the way south and north. There is no swimming but if you have a boat you can go on the river and also over to the Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is a great campground to stay at if you plan to take the ferry over to Cumberland Island National Seashore for a day visit. You might want to make reservations first – the ferry leaves from St. Mary’s National Visitor Center at 9 and you return by 5:30. It is only seven miles away from the campground. St. Mary’s is a cute little historic town with quaint shops and restaurants to visit when you stay at Crooked River State Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful place but very simple. Not much to do inside or around the park. Borders the Crooked River but erosion has created a 30 - 40 foot cliff which is actually dangerous. Signage is there to keep you away for obvious reasons. Sites are mostly large, level and some are very private others less so. Lots of tall trees and shade but satellite access was not to difficult. Town of St. Mary's is a short drive and was nice but not much there. Overall it is a nice place to get away for some quiet time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Another great Georgia State Park. The sites were clean, large and well spaced. One section was very private with site built into a vegeation area. The other section was more open but there was tree coverage to provide shade. Nice walking areas and lots of bicycle paths. Wild life included armadillo, deer and maybe a gator in a small pond. Lots to explore in the area- Cumberland Island, Okeefeenokee wildlife management area (lots of gators there), St Simons, Jekell Islands, etc. Will stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet and peaceful campground. Many pull-through sites and several back-in sites. The bathrooms/showers are in need of some work, but they kept them as clean as they could. Not much to do in the area, but the scenery is nice and it's off the beaten path, keeping things quiet. The park has 4 miles worth of very nice hiking trails and a nature themed putt-putt golf course. This was our second trip to Crooked River State Park and I'm sure that the wife and I will return when we need to charge the batteries once again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We absolutely loved our weekend stay at this State Campground. Our site was very shaded and level. This campground is almost 2 different campgrounds in one. One side is more open with less trees, and the other has many trees and plantings giving a more private feel. The staff at check in was friendly and told us of all the activities planned for the weekend. And for one of the smaller State Parks, they had quite a few things going on, especially for the children. The are equipped with a boat ramp which had so-so parking. They also have a miniature golf course, and a few group shelters for group picnics. The rangers and staff came through at regular intervals so you felt very safe. The restrooms were very clean. The sites were also well spaced. Just a short drive into town, and there was some great antique shopping, if that is your thing. Also there is a day trip available in town to Cumberland Island. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you enjoy fishing this is a fantastic campground. We have stayed here several times in both hot and cold months. It's one of our favorites.You can fish from the boat dock. There's a playground, miniature golf, and seasonal swimming pool. Sites are spacious and private. The town of St. Mary's is beautiful and you can fish from the town pier as well. Just a little insect repellent will take care of the bugs. Must go to Cumberland Island as this is my favorite place in the world. Also,(you guessed it), there is excellent fishing on the Cumberland shore-also tons of history here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very convenient. Nice clean quiet campground. Great place to stop going to or coming from Florida. Shopping and restaurants nearby. Fuel is less than Florida. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is my first submittal. I would like to thank all those associated with the production and operation of this review site. Job well done. Park is split into two areas, open on left with partial shade from pine trees. Right side has a mixture of back-ins and pull-throughs. Back-ins deep with vegation privacy, pull through right on the road. Left side also has both site types. Left is basically for family with children. Parents bring the toys, bikes, boards, etc. Very friendly park. Also has pool and minature golf. Right side for those who like more privacy. Roads are asphalt, sites small stone, grass earth and pine needles. Park is very clean. Although on the river, there is no water access for individuals; however, there is a boat ramp and easy access with boats back and forth to your camp site. Also has premitive sites for scouts. Dry area with bath rooms and water. Would go again and send more time in the Historic Section of St. Mary's, interesting architure and Submarine Museum. We have a 15' TT. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here with the intention of visiting Cumberland Island National Seashore. Despite
being disappointed that the park was closed on the days we planned to be there, we did enjoy going to nearby Jekyll Island and eating good food in nearby St. Marys. The park was somewhat of a disappointment after camping at other GA state parks. The sites are dirt and not that big. Some of the sites had recently been cleared of all vegetation - I presume due to the recent hurricanes. A few of the sites were nice and shady. Other sites were really nothing more than grass. There is a nice view of the river from one side of the campground. However, you really have to watch your kids as there is a 15 foot cliff down to the water that would be extremely difficult to get back up. This appears to be due to some serious erosion as there were pipes hanging out of the cliff. There was some major construction/renovation at the center of the campground during our visit and some of the sites were not useable. I do not know what sort of improvements were planned. I'm not sure if I would go back here or not, although our visit was not bad. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 3 nights at an RV club rally. This is a beautiful park, nice walking and
biking paths. And weather permitting you can canoe/kayak on the river. It has a pool and putt-putt. Lots of shelters and/or picnick tables to get togethers. Sites are large and it is a peaceful park. I think I know WHY it is peaceful - because there are a billion no-see-ums biting you 24/7. Except for this 'little' problem I would love to go back here. But according to the ranger these little bugs are here year round! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
