Campground around Columbus, GA

Book FDR for 2 nights, stay 1, for the same price as 1 at the KOA.

We have always stayed at "Lake Pines" campground just east of the city on US 80. My wife had an uncle, retired army major, who lived in Columbus, so we visited several times. Always found Lake Pines to be our choice.

We stayed at Georgia Veterans State Park near Cordelle. Certainly not the closest but nice.We enjoyed the Infantry Museum at Ft Benning and the Confederate naval Museum in Columbus.

If you are military or military retired, Fort Benning has a great recreation area and campground.

Totally forgot about this, and I live in the area, and the lady that feeds my cats when I'm gone used to work there.

Georgia Power has a campground on Lake Harding, not far off of I-185. I have not been there, but have been to other GA Power campgrounds, and they are nice.

Looks like it is at the same exit as Hunters Pub. Trust me, have dinner there, and have the fried lobster tails, and the ribeye. It's in the middle of no where, and you may have to park in the ditch, but it is well worth a visit. Yes, it is the cinder block building from the 50's.

Georgia Power closed most of their campgrounds, including Blanton Creek on September 4th or Sept 17th, They will reopen next spring. Tugalo Park remains open all year, and Lake Seed closes Nov 1st. These two are in North Georgia.

X2 on eating at Hunters Pub. What it lacks in curb appeal it makes up in food appeal. What you save by staying at the Welcome Center will pay for dinner. OK, maybe not all the cost.

I was just at Heard COE and although I didn't get a chance to thoroughly explore the park I noticed that many sites were short and the driveways to the parking pads were extremely sloped. Check first if you can.

There should not be a length problem. There lots of sites there that are 60-70' long.
