This park offers tent and RV camping as well as several cabins that can be rented at the park by calling ahead. There is a large boat ramp, fishing dock, ample parking and even a beach to fish from (DO NOT SWIM HERE!) at low tides. This park has numerous hiking trails and 3-paddling trails that are a part of... More

We enjoyed this state park -- hot showers, quiet, secluded campsites. The bugs were a little bad but that is beyond their control!

My fiance and I went to Crooked River with some friends this past weekend. We loved it! The staff was friendly upon check in and helpful in directing us toward information about the activities avaliable. We stayed in a camp site and they were actually quite large. We played putt putt one night, which any age group can enjoy, and... More

I found Crooked River State Park online while searching for a camp ground close to I95 on the way to Florida. It was exactly that and very quiet. We stayed on a Tuesday night so it wasn't very crowded, but there were mainly RV's (only one other tent camper) so I assume most of them were retired. When we arrived... More

A really nice place to camp and to enjoy the park. You can canoe or kayak the Crooked River which will take you all the way to the Intracoastal waterway.

First of all, this is a cabin review. If you're planning on booking one of their campsites, this review might not be too useful for you. We stayed in cabin #3. The cabins are in two groups: 1 through 5 and 6 through 10. The "1 to 5" group faces west and the water. In January, the sun sets a... More

Luckily we had read other reviews so planned our trip in a bugless season (end of December). The park has beautiful pine forests. We only went on one trial which was pretty unremarkable. It had a lookout, but it did not allow you to see anymore than you could see from the ground view. We did see 3 deer as... More

Off of a dead end road and neatly tucked into the "woods"; this peacefull environment will give you all of the peace and quite anyone would desire. Cottages and small mini-homes are offered by the State 0f Georgia that will entice you for your visit; as it is a State Park. There will be ample trees and nature complete with... More

and Crooked River is yet another great example. You can easily get lost in the nature of the place and it is fun to try. You are only a few miles from St. Marys and all it has to offer and not terribly far from Amelia, Jacksonville, Darien, & of course Cumberland Island. The cottages are a great value w/... More

We stayed for a long weekend in a pop up camper Oct 11 and really enjoyed the park. The rangers were nice and the bathhouses are very clean and comfortable. Views of the marsh are just beautiful. Great little National Park if you are traveling through. I agree with another review about the loop to the right being more private.... More
