Laura S. Walker State Park

We stayed here just one night on our way to another destination. We were very pleasantly surprised with this nice campground. We had a lakeside site. I think most sites have a view of the lake.
The sites are flat and well kept. The volunteers rake the gravel after every departure. The playground and dog park are nice.
We visited Okefenokee Swamp Park which is very close and took a boat tour. It was a nice day.
I believe we’ll be back for a longer stay and to kayak the swamp.

I stumbled on this small park in Dec 2020 while meandering thru south GA en route to Savannah area, and then came back a month later in Feb 2021 for 2 weeks. Most of the features are reviewed accurately by others, but my faves are the campground WIFI, dog run, the fully tiled showers with great water pressure, and the inexpensive W/D. Sites are level, and while there are price differentials for lake front vs off lake, truly, you can see the lake from every site. This past weekend there was a little "fair" with food trucks and vendors with items for sale, which was a nice bit of entertainment. Ford dealership nearby works on Class C RVs, and the Tractor Supply in Waycross has a self serve dog wash! I am still working, so WIFI was impt to me -- it's stable enough for videoconference during the week, but overloaded on weekends when the park is full. I have been able to back it up with my Verizon phone hotspot.
Great, quiet place for me!

Nearby Waycross, Ga. has shopping and restaurants as well as car dealerships (our truck needed service while we were here). The campground is very nice, busy on the weekends, with fishermen and locals who all seem to pull out at noon on Sunday. The rest of the week the park is fairly empty. We found the hosts helpful and friendly and the rangers too. Little store sells ice and a few essentials and fire wood with t-shirts and maps of the area. We LOVED this park and will definitely visit here again. We have a 39ft 5th Wheel and found the sites generous in length and easy to get into. A variety of shorter sites for smaller campers. Be aware there is only 30 amp service, with water but NO sewer hook ups so bring your honey wagon if you have one, as there is a dump available on site. Television only 10 channels, PBS, shopping and 2 ION channels available over the air.

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights during COVD to get away and practice social isolation while camping. No onsite check in - drive straight to our site which made things super easy. Lucky to get a spot right on the lake which I think is the best spot in the park. Large level pad with big living area right on the lake, only negative was no place for our hammock. People use this area to put in their kayaks so there was a fair amount of foot traffic during the day but that didn't bother us at all. Perfect site to people watch boats, kayaks and JetSkis. Very peaceful at night. The interior sites are closer together which could be an issue if you have noisy neighbors. Lots of trees for shade cover. We biked all along the trails to the other side of the lake and checked out the cabins which also looked very nice. We didn't have a kayak but this trip cemented our desire to get one. Bathrooms were kept fairly clean, didn't use the showers.The hosts really did a nice job keeping the sites clean and prepping for new visitors. Definitely come back here again for a getaway.

Older state park with sites arranged closely but mostly at angles such that there is reasonable distance to spread out. The $30 price is without 20% Senior Citizens Discount or local and state taxes. A $5 park permit is also required, purchase on arrival.

We arrived during the COVID-19 issue and did not spend much time with others in the campground. Traveled to Jekyll Island in about 45 minutes. Also checked out two Okefenokee Swamp Park entrances. The closest park is only 4 miles and is privately run. There are multiple paid tour opportunities. The National Park entrance is about 25 miles. It has a drive through tour which is interesting. National Park Passes accepted.

Most of the site in the campground have gravel pads. Some are only dirt. Gravel pads are mostly level, dirt sites may have more slope. Sites have water and 30 amp electric. Two sites are full hookup. One may be Handicap only. There are 3 or 4 pull through sites. All sites along the lake (low numbers) are good. One in the middle is pull through. The campground is generally located among tall pines and most sites have a very nice partial shade effect.

There are two bathhouses in the center of the campground. We did not use them so can report on them. One looked very new from the outside.

We used our ToGo unit cell/wifi for TV streaming. Had to buffer sometimes.

We would camp here again if it was on our route.

What a beautiful surprise for my journey south this winter. Spacious sites on gravel, clean, LEVEL. Woods and water views from everywhere. Even if your site isn’t on the water, you can probably see it, and/or pull your chairs into a pretty spot of setting sun and see the sun shimmer on the lake. Power, water, cell phone signal, wi-fi—everything I needed to work remotely during my brief stopover. Had a great shower with super water pressure in a very clean bath house. Enjoyed talking to the park rangers at the office —and the little “mascot kitties” they care for— and ride my bike around. Enjoyed listening to the distant trains in the night—not loud enough to be jarring at ALL. Only 13 minutes to town (and Kroger). Beautiful kayak launch—can’t wait to come back to paddle when it’s warmer. Already made my return reservations for next year—on a lake site. ;)

Quite and peaceful. If you seek excitement, go elsewhere. Park Rangers are good friendly folks. Paved roads all around, but larger (40+) rigs can be tight in some parts. Site access is generally good, and the Host are there to help. The park, like all Georgia State Parks, now lets you choose your site when you reserve it. Lake front sites (4) go quick and we try for #12. Most every site is level and fine gravel plus some are handicap with paved pads. Two bath houses are nice and clean. Use a water filter though, as with most well water in this area, it is sulfur. They do treat it with chlorine, so showering is not so bad, but it has a strange odor and taste, it is nature, not the park that controls this and not unlike city water systems along the coast. Washers and Dryers are provided. Like other campgrounds in the south, bugs, including yellow and black flies can be seasonal, and it is near the largest swamp in the South, so expect wildlife. The lake can be busy on weekends as they allow jet skis, water skiing, and power boats during certain times of the day. Weekdays are quite. The have a bark park, otherwise dogs must be leashed. Cell service is 2 bars at best, but the camp now offers free wifi at check in which worked good. Camp host are wonderful but unfortunately camp office has very little for supplies. They do sell ice, and very basic needs, but no store. Closest Walmart and city of size is Waycross about 9 miles away. Jekyll Island is an hour away. Okefenokee Swamp Park is 15 minutes away.

Summary: Great place for weekend or longer stay.
