Laura S Walker Campground

The Great Outdoors

You’ve seen a bit of Laura S Walker State Park, but there’s a lot more to see. Leave your camper rental at Laura S Walker Campground and go hiking through the swamp landscape that houses several fascinating creatures and plants such as alligators and carnivorous pitcher plants. You might also see a gopher tortoise, different kinds of oaks, saw palmettos, and birds like owls and blue herons. By the lake, there are kayak and paddleboard rentals, which both are a great way to really see the park, and you can even go water-skiing if that’s your cup of tea.You’ll find even more recreation opportunities and swamp landscapes if you drive the short distance and park your RV rental at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, a place that aims to ensure that the Okefenokee Swamp and all its inhabitants will still be around for generations to come. The number of different plants is in the 600s, and you’ll have the chance to see a red-cockaded woodpecker, wood storks, and indigo snakes among many other species. You might also see an alligator or a sandhill crane while on a guided boat tour or a canoe trip.Hopefully, you haven’t had enough water yet because this time, you’re headed to Cumberland Island National Seashore by the Atlantic. Here you can get some quality ocean time on beaches that look nothing like the next. Some are white and sandy while others look like they belong in the jungle, and to get to them, you have to walk through maritime forests and salt marshes where sea turtles, armadillos, and even wild horses live. Other than the fantastic views, there are museums and historic sites to make your time here extra special.
