Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
Spring transforms the swamp into a paddler's paradise, where cooler temperatures and fewer insects make navigating 120+ miles of water trails pure pleasure alongside alligators, wading birds, and blooming aquatic plants.
Spring transforms the 375-acre lake into a mirror reflecting blooming dogwoods and azaleas, while mild temperatures draw migrating birds to ancient moss-draped tupelos.
Cumberland Island National Seashore
Spring brings comfortable temperatures for hiking through blooming maritime forests and encountering wild horses roaming freely across pristine beaches. Fewer crowds mean you'll have miles of undeveloped Atlantic coastline and shadowy forest trails nearly to yourself.
About Spring Camping in Georgia
Spring camping in Georgia offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the state's remarkable diversity, from the mysterious Okefenokee swamp wilderness to the wildflower-carpeted peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As winter's chill fades and temperatures climb into the comfortable 60s and 70s, Georgia's campgrounds awaken with blooming dogwoods, azaleas, and mountain laurels that transform the landscape into a natural showcase.
Best Time
The prime window for spring camping in Georgia runs from mid-March through late May, with April typically offering the sweet spot of mild temperatures, blooming wildflowers, and manageable crowds. Early spring (March) brings unpredictable weather with occasional cold snaps, but rewards visitors with fewer people and excellent trout fishing in mountain streams as stocking programs ramp up.

Tips & Recommendations
- 1Reserve popular state park campgrounds like Black Rock Mountain, Vogel, and Reed Bingham at least 60-90 days in advance through the Georgia State Parks reservation system, as spring weekends fill rapidly.
- 2For Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge overnight trips, obtain wilderness camping permits well ahead of your visit as daily quotas limit backcountry access to preserve the fragile swamp ecosystem.
- 3Cumberland Island requires advance ferry reservations coordinated with your camping permits, and the ferry schedule is limited, so plan transportation carefully.
- 4Pack layered clothing for spring's variable temperatures—mountain elevations can experience 30-degree swings between day and night, while coastal areas remain more moderate but face sudden weather changes.
