South Georgia is a region that's often (sadly) overlooked by visitors in favor of the North Georgia mountains, Atlanta, and our coastal beaches. But this is a beautiful area that's filled with charm and history. Reed Bingham State Park is tucked away in Colquitt and Cook County, in Adel. It's one of the more popular state parks in this area of the state, but even so, it's not nearly as well-known as others in the parts of the state that receive more tourists. Even fewer people know that there are excellent camping accommodations here. Next time you feel the need to get away and escape into nature for a day or two, check out this great state park in Georgia!
Reed Bingham State Park is quite large, spanning an impressive 1,613 acres. The park includes a magnificent 375-acre lake, a nature trail, a playground and miniature golf course, and plenty of opportunities for fun.
You'll find several great trails here that lead through the lovely wilderness of woods and swamp. There's a 0.5-mile nature loop that's perfect for young kids, plus longer treks that are great for experienced hikers.
With several boat ramps and docks, there are lots of chances to get out on the water.
This area of the state is just about as far south as you can get in Georgia, so the park rarely sees freezes. You'll find that the daytime temperatures only very rarely drop low enough to be uncomfortable.
There are lots of spots great for sightseeing here, with ample natural delights to observe. Spanish moss drapes down from the trees and the water provides a beautiful complement for sunrises and sunsets.
Did you know you can go camping at Reed Bingham State Park? The park has just under 50 tent, trailer, and RV sites.
If you're really looking to rough it, you can also enjoy pioneer camping here. There's nothing like the thrill of living off the land!
This is such a beautiful (and underrated!) state park in Georgia that's provides the perfect chance to get away for a weekend of camping and fun.
