About Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Overnight Camping Permit

Deep in the heart of southeast Georgia's legendary Okefenokee Swamp, adventurers discover a rare opportunity for true wilderness solitude. Seven elevated camping platforms rise above the ancient waters, while two secluded island campsites offer the ultimate escape into nature. With each platform reserved exclusively for one party per night, you'll find yourself completely alone with the symphony of the swamp—no neighboring campers, no distractions, just you and 438,000 acres of pristine wetland wilderness.
