Crooked River State Park, Georgia
Our last camping trip of the year was spent at Crooked River State Park in Georgia. It wasn’t ideal camping weather with all the rain and cloud overcast.

Crooked River State Park Crooked River State Park, Georgia is ideally located just over the Florida border outside the small town of St. Marys. It was a fairly short drive for us and was a great location to explore the coast. We had hoped to visit nearby Cumberland Island, but didn’t realize that ferry reservations were highly recommend. We missed out because of…
