Spanish moss draped over your campsite, the sun peeking through the jagged branches, and the nearby intracoastal waterway right in your backyard. This Georgia campsite is pure Georgia beauty and deserves to be experienced at least once this month.

The thing about Ossabaw Island is that it's miles of unspoiled beach, and a natural wonderland. The camping is very sparse - three primitive campsites only. But there are accommodations for up to 30 people maximum. Oh, and it's worth mentioning, that this is real primitive camping. There are no stores on Ossabaw. Campers must bring all of their food and prepare their own meals.
7. Cumberland Island National Seashore—Stafford Beach Campground: Stafford Beach Rd, St Marys, GA, 31558

Another camping spot on Cumberland Island worth noting is the Stafford Beach Campground. There are tons of backcountry sites to choose from, plus a few restrooms and cold showers. Ferry or private boat access is needed to reach the property, but this just means more seclusion and better beach enjoyment.

Beach camping in Georgia is such a fun, memorable experience.

What are the best state park campgrounds in Georgia?

Georgia is fortunate enough to be blessed with so many incredible state parks that choosing the location of your next camping adventure can be quite the tough choice! Luckily, there is something for everyone when it comes to camping in Georgia State Parks and here we bring you some of the best options the Peach State has to offer:

  • Stephen C. Foster State Park. This Peach State park is highly regarded for its superlative outdoor recreation -- including kayaking, hiking, birding, and canoeing -- but this natural wonder takes on a completely different identity come dusk. This remote park and its 400,000-acre Okefenokee Swamp, one of the great Natural Wonders in Georgia, boast some of the darkest skies in the South. Approved by the International Dark-Sky Association, Stephen C. Foster State Park is one of the most celebrated places to view the stars clearly and with unobstructed views. For these reasons, the camping at this Georgia park is unrivaled; bring a tent or camper and get ready for an out-of-this-world camping experience that’s truly bucket-list worthy.
  • Providence Canyon State Park. This 1,000-acre expanse is considered one of the most glorious natural wonders in Georgia, and attracts visitors from all over the South looking to hike, walk, wander, and immerse themselves in nature. To this end, the park’s campground attracts intrepid overnight adventurers seeking a peaceful night at one of the best campgrounds in Georgia. While many people visit Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon for the day to get in some quality hiking, there are campsites hidden within the park that allow visitors the option to stay and enjoy the views for more than just the day, which is an opportunity you shouldn’t pass up.
  • Indian Springs State Park has been operated as a Georgia public park since 1825, making it one of the oldest state parks in the entire country. The park’s legendary mineral waters attracted scores of wellness seekers in the 1800s; today, visitors come to Indian Springs to revel in its intriguing history and incredible scenery – and camping offers a way for guests to quite literally immerse themselves in this captivating place. Park guests can camp at nearly 90 different sites ranging from cottages to campsites scattered all across its sprawling 500 acres. Because of its size, it’s quite easy to find a quiet spot to pitch a tent among the trees to serve as a home base for a weekend hiking the scenic nature trails, fishing, boating, geocaching, and simply enjoying the views.
