They have upgraded this lodge greatly since the last time I stayed. The staff has always been very…read morepleasant and accommodating. But the room was definitely upgraded. It has a bit of a modern clean feel. The bathroom is large with a glass step in shower. They have a coffee maker as well as a step up from a mini fridge/ freezer. They have a large TV. The beds are very comfortable. Only draw backs ...The door sticks when you try to open it. You have to hit it with your hip hard to make it open after you unlock it with your card. Also the phone in the room didn't work at all... I couldn't even call the desk. I was trying to call to get the wifi access code... but couldn't call. The beads amazing and rooms are greP! So all in all a very good trip!

Great News: Fantastic lodge prices: a one night stay cost me…read moreonly $58!! (for 1 adult and 2 seniors!!) Scenic state park featuring an 18 hole golf course (I refrain from golf for embarrassment reasons) Friendly small-town staff. Small airport directly across the highway. VERY effective room air-conditioning. Single story buildings. Small "Restaurant" inside the lodge (did not dine there). Color Television with Cable. Iron & Ironing Board. Coffeemaker. Hair dryer. Space-age built-in soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers. Glamorous News: This same lodge was recently used by the crew of one of those family-fixing "Nanny" reality shows while they were filming an episode in the McRae area. The lingering cloud of "Hollywood Glamour" at the lodge is palpable, though you should be careful not to confuse it with the teeming hordes of angry gnats (see below). Non-Glamorous News: Location may be perceived as "isolated" by resort-conscious (there is no "ocean view"). Woods be full of Captain Drew's lubber kinfolk and ticks (in equal measure). Teeming hordes of angry gnats. Angry, angry gnats that should not be confused with Hollywood Glamour (see above). Bad News: Firm mattresses. Relentlessly firm mattresses. Unforgivingly firm mattresses. The Deal: If you've a bad back, drive south Jim m'lad and don't stop 'till you've arrived at the wooden sign for the Little Ocmulgee State Park (and Lodge). Located about 35 minutes south of Dublin in the heart of Gnats-Up-Your-Nose County, this state park be the same locale where Captain Drew goes for his annual family reunion of inlaws and outlaws.... partly because we be such a wild bunch that we can't be contained by anything smaller, but mostly because it only costs us a couple hundred groats to rent an air-conditioned pavilion with its own surface parking lot. Perhaps one day I'll take one of you sweet-bottomed lasses down there on me arm to show off to me cousin/wives.... In all these years of herding my parents down to the reunion we've never stayed overnight in this state park's lodge UNTIL last week, when we found ourselves compelled southward by familial love and memorial duty. En route we agreed to give this state-run lodge a tryout since our former favorite, the Magnolia Inn, is now operated by a friendly family with a penchant for curries so indescribably pungent that the scent has permanently permeated the molecular essence of every structural component of their flophouse. While I enjoy a good curry as well as the next fellow, I also enjoy the delicious aroma of 78% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor. We were certain to find fresh air at the Little Ocmulgee State Park Lodge, and we did!! Signing In A breeze.... super fast. Our Stay Our lodgings were VERYsatisfactory. With the exception of a missing ice bucket (we had the lid), the room was as fully stocked as any other contemporary hotel room you'd find anywhere else in the nation. Why spend more somewhere else? Checking Out My only recommendation is to make every effort to prevent men in golfing togs and pronounced drawls getting in line ahead of you (especially if they're in the sawmill business) because they will delay your departure by 20 minutes as they kibitz with the friendly staff, loudly declaring how much money they make, detailing how much their monthly income surpasses the annual income of their fellow townfolk and generally strutting about acting "all rich and stuff". One solution to this dilemma is of course to nip out onto the nearby "wetlands" boardwalk (ie, swampy-path-to-nowhere), secure some sort of non-venomous-but-nontheless-agitated indigenous wildlife and insert it into the open golfbags in the back of the rich guys' pick-up trucks. Alternately, you can simply stand in line behind them with a fake smile plastered across your face, pondering at how marvelously ridiculous your little planet can be~

Wonderful county run RV park situated on the Altamara River. About 25 sites with a museum and…read moreconference room available for rental. Modern facility, well maintained. RV sites are level, well policed and equipped. No full hookups, local dump and 50amp & water on every site. A good number of sites are shaded and some have satellite view. Campground has fulltime host available for your needs. Personnel friendly and courteous. Acces to river with boat ramp. Somewhat steep ramp, and fast flowing current. Ramp difficult to use. Not a good place to swim as water is fast moving and deep with treacherous currents, gators. No swimming pool, great fitness area, super horse riding and walking trails. Nearby DNR day use area for pic-nics on river, although not as well keep as the RV Park. Nearest town is Hazelhurst about ten minutes away. This park would be a FIVE STAR if they had trash pickup and a swimming pool. No ATV's/UTV's or golf carts, exceptions made for handicapped vehicles with permission from office. This RV park is a Passport America park but it is only accepted Sunday thru Wednesday.

They'll probably remove this like they remove negative reviews from their Facebook page, but let's…read moredo it anyway. The park itself is in need of improvement. Day use is a joke.No picnic tables, half the grills are missing and no water or electric is readily or convieniently accessible. The campground is quiet, but is ruled with an iron fist...and not very well. Paying customers should not be cursed at, sceamed at or accused of things. The hosts are rude, as is the general manager...when she shows up for work. The bathhouse is not sanitary. It is also a fire hazzard because of months of dryer lint being sucked into the ventilation system. Plus, there's not a single fire extinguisher to be found in the whole building. They nickle and fime you to the point of exasperation. They have been known to raise monthly rates by $100 without prior notice. Basic bathhouse maintenance...paper towels toilet paper, light bulbs, disinfecting and cleaning the counters, mirrors and exterior of the toilets is not done on a daily basis. Huge ant beds are a part of almost every site and throughout the park. There are no trash cans near any of the sites. There's really no common area. You may be warned about driving the wrong way on a one way road, but the hosts do it all the time. Rules don't seem to apply to them. Lack of daily site inspection and/or keeping sites clean and appealing. Gate is only accessible to guests, so you get to take managements word on the size and confition of sites. You have to go to the office if you want to check the sires out and they just tell you to walk around and look. They don't take you around to see them. There's much more (since I lived there almost 11 months), but my single typing finger has gone numb. Suffice it to say, that these are a few reasons I don't recommend this place. However, if it had competent management and the county really cared about it, it would be a really nice place to be.

What a beautiful little park. We stopped to plan a future trip and I just feel in love with the…read moreserene water and that feeling that you can only get from being out in the sun and fresh air. To me it feels like total freedom! So we saw some nice Prevost Mobile Homes (Shout out to my new friend for letting us go inside) in the Campground area, a beautiful lake, a "Splash Pad" (Water feature) that if I remember correctly as a child was a pool, rustic cottages, a huge Golf course and a big, nice Lodge. Due to our tight schedule, we did not get a chance to walk the Trails or the Boardwalk but I did see it. I think this State Park is a great way to take a quick retreat or a wonderful spot to hide away at for a weekend. Plenty of things to do and the Parking fee is only $5 per day. Or you can purchase a State Park Pass for about $50. This pass does NOT cover Stone Mountain Park. Just FYI there!

Welcomed us and made certain they were there if we needed anything. I do not remember their names but the are there until November.

Depends on what you came for…read more They have a nice golf course. Nice hiking trails and very nice playground. A fun splash pad... when it's open. (However, completely understandable to not waste water if there isn't enough expected participation.) Lovely pier onto the lake. Quite, pretty, peaceful. We have not stayed at the campgrounds. However, the motel rooms need... lets say they need TLC. Like, stat.

This review relates to campground : Little Ocmulgee State Park is as most of Georgia Parks is…read morebetter than surrounding states. However recent changes and events have made them way too expensive. The State has contracted the management of these parks to corporate entities. The fee's for sites is rapidly approaching forty dollars per night and in many cases such as Veterans S P do not even offer full service sites. While Ocmulgee does have a few full service sites, all sites are the same price. Why should a tent site pay the same as full service 50 amp site. Most of the land that these parks occupy was either given to the state or purchased by the state with taxpayer funds for the enjoyment and recreation of all the people. Corporate managers have a different mentality, they are about profit and not service to the public. Our state politicians have sold us out! What possible justification could there be for a family to have to pay in excess of $100 to camp for the weekend. Federal camping activities offer better facilities with full service hookups for less than $60 per weekend and less for tent site, why can't the state do that? They Could, but again they have sold us out! The state will offer that they can get the private sector to run the parks cheaper than they can, that's Bs, at who's expense, the people of course. I have been a volunteer at Georgia Parks for many years, and I know that the parks could be run by a minimal staff of three or four and volunteers, however there would be no kickback for politicians. Ask politicians like Pruitt State Representative, (R-GA) why they are using the host sites at the taxpayers expense. Now, to the park, most sites are great, they have cable tv, tables, fire pit , water and 30-50amp . Some pull thru sites. Wake up real Friends of Georgia Parks, take back your parks.
