QUOTE: x2! If you're staying at Stephen Foster, that's an extremely nice park. Ga State parks have nothing on the Florida ones, I bet you like Skidaway Island too. The only Fl parks that I haven't been impressed with were the ones down south, but there really isn't anything nice down south.
I am typing this from White Springs now.. My complaint with Florida SP are they dont do maintenance to keep everything in order.
No, I despise the coastal marsh parks in either state, I am not a friend of the local Gnat population.
We are at a park somewhere 2 weeks out of every month so we know what we are talking about.
Gold Head hasn't had a site upgrade since the 80's.
Rainbow Springs spent 100"s of thousand of dollars to upgrade the bath houses, new sewer lines, electric upgrade, new roads, underground sprinkler system and lush landscaping. You have to walk through knee deep grass to get to the sewer hookup at most sites mid summer. And they have let all the landscaping die..
Fort Clinchs beach campground roads still take days to dry after a rain..
Maintenance is needed at all parks and it seems Georgia does more with less.
