Federal Campgrounds in Georgia

Federal coverage only. This directory lists campgrounds on federal land (Forest Service, Park Service, BLM, Corps of Engineers and other agencies) from the Recreation.gov RIDB export. State-park, county and private/KOA campgrounds are out of scope.

Georgia has 99 federal campgrounds offering approximately 2,473 overnight sites across four federal agencies. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates the largest share with 73 campgrounds, followed by the U.S. Forest Service with 23 locations, the National Park Service with 2 campgrounds, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service with 1 facility. Of these, 94 campgrounds accept reservations through Recreation.gov. These federal sites span diverse landscapes, from lakeside facilities to mountain and coastal areas throughout the state.

This overview covers federal campgrounds only. State park campgrounds and private or commercial facilities like KOA are outside this directory's scope. For current availability, accurate site counts, and to make reservations, visit Recreation.gov directly. Conditions, amenities, and services vary by location and season, so reviewing individual campground pages before planning your visit is recommended.

How to read the Georgia directory

Use this page as a starting map of federal camping in Georgia: the agency split tells you whether you're mostly looking at national-forest sites, park-service grounds or Corps-of-Engineers lakeside camps, and the busiest rec areas below point to where the campgrounds cluster. Every name links to its live Recreation.gov page for current site counts, photos and booking.
