A Fall Day on the Ohoopee River
Summer gets the crowds, but fall might be the best time of year to be on the Ohoopee River.
The heat breaks. The mornings get cool and crisp. The campfire feels better, the river is peaceful and things slow down just enough to really enjoy being outside.
If you've only ever visited us in the summer, fall is a whole different experience.
So what does a fall day at Ohoopee River RV & Camp Resort look like? Here's how one might go.
A Fall Day on the River, Start to Finish
Morning: Coffee by the River
Grab a warm cup of coffee and head down to the water.
Early mornings on the Ohoopee are quiet. The only real noise is the birds, and trust us, they have plenty to say. It's the kind of morning that makes you forget to check your phone.
Midday: Get Out on the Water
Once the day warms up, it's time to get on the river.
Paddle the Ohoopee by kayak or spend some time out on the sandbar. Fall is a great time to paddle, with cooler temperatures and beautiful scenery along the way.
Kayak rentals are available by appointment and depend on river levels. They start at $40 per kayak, so give us a call ahead of time to set one up.
Afternoon: Drop a Line
The Ohoopee is a great fishing river.
Mr. Billy, who built this campground, likes to say you can catch anything in our river that you can catch in fresh water anywhere in Georgia (except trout). The most common catches are redbreast bream, bass and catfish.
Not much of a fisherman? Take the dog to the dog run, let the kids burn off some energy on the playground, or just pull up a chair and enjoy the fall weather. There's no schedule you have to keep.
Evening: Campfire Time
This is what fall camping is all about.
When the sun goes down and the air cools off, build a campfire, pull your chairs in close and settle in. Roast some marshmallows, tell some stories, and enjoy the night.
That's the whole plan, and it's a pretty good one.
Forgot Something? Stop by the Camp Store!
Our camp store has firewood and s'mores supplies, so you're covered for campfire night.
We also carry ice, snacks, frozen foods, camper parts and other fun stuff, so you don't have to leave the campground to grab what you need.

Day pass guests can come in any time during office hours, Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM, and you're welcome to stay until dark. Just know that the gate closes at 5 PM, and there's no re-entry after that.

If our mailer showed up in your mailbox, don't toss it!
