Ahhh, summertime camping in Georgia. The breeze is light, the cicadas are singing, and you can smell the remnants of a campfire as you drift off to sleep. It’s only right that if you’re planning a camping trip this summer you choose one of the best campgrounds in Georgia. And what better way to determine a gem than by finding one of the oldest campgrounds in the state!
One of the most fascinating state parks on the east coast is also one of the oldest…
…Indian Springs State Park has been operated as a public park since 1825, making it one of the oldest state parks in the entire country.
What has drawn people to this historic and magical park are the mineral-rich healing waters that have been said to have mystical healing properties throughout the 1800s.
And while the mineral spring and the history seem to draw in many guests, it’s the beautiful campgrounds that has them coming back each and every year.
Park guests can camp at nearly 90 different sites ranging from cottages to campsites all throughout the park.
Find a nice quiet spot among the trees and spend the weekend hiking the various nature trails, fishing, boating, geocaching, and so much more.
There is even a small museum onsite that is open seasonally to highlight the Creek Indians and the role they played in facilitating this land.
There is so much to see and enjoy in this historic park, you’ll want to visit for more than just one weekend in the summer.
Pack your tent, gather your family, and bring some firewood — this is one relaxed weekend in Georgia nature that you will want to relive time and time again.
