Eight Additional Georgia State Parks to Offer Site-Specific Camping Reservations Beginning December 1 and January 8

Long-time campers know the anticipation of getting to a campground early so they can pick their favorite spot. With eight additional state parks being added to the already five state parks that offer “site-specific” camping reservations— a perk for campers that allows them to reserve their desired camping location ahead of time – planning long awaited camping trips will be even easier for future state parks guests.

Beginning Dec. 1, 2017, Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites will offer this popular feature at Fort Mountain State Park (Chatsworth), High Falls State Park (Jackson), Vogel State Park (Blairsville), as well as the remaining sites at Laura S. Walker State Park (Waycross).

Following suit, beginning on Jan. 8, 2018, site-specific camping reservations will also be offered at Hard Labor Creek State Park (Morgan County), the remaining sites at Reed Bingham State Park (Adel), Skidway Island State Park (Savannah), with locations that include beautiful Spanish moss and low-country scenery, as well as George L. Smith State Park (Twin City), with many sites located right on the pond.

Previously, only Amicalola Falls State Park (Dawsonville), Richard B. Russell State Park (Elberton), James H. Floyd State Park (Summerville), Laura S. Walker State Park, and Reed Bingham State Park offered site-specific reservations.

With this amenity, campers enjoy bath houses with hot showers, water and electric hookups, grills and picnic tables, and picturesque scenery. Reservations may be made up to 13 months in advance by calling 1-800-864-7275 or online at GaStateParks.org/Reservations.
