Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

Our stay at Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins andCampground was absolutely amazing! The manager, Ray, was outstanding, as was the entire staff. I work in retail management, and experiencing this level of genuine customer service was truly a breath of fresh air. Society often seems to have forgotten what real hospitality looks like—but not here. You could truly feel their sincere desire to make guests happy. We traveled as a group of 16, and every single one of us felt welcomed, valued, and appreciated. To make our stay even more special, we celebrated two birthdays during our visit, and Ray went above and beyond by making a cake for “The Bobs”. That kind of thoughtfulness and hospitality is rare and will never be forgotten. We cannot recommend Okefenokee Campground highly enough.

As a native son of Georgia, visiting the Okefenokee Swamp has been a lifelong wish. Returning home for the holidays, a friend and I finally made the pilgrimage and chose Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground—and it could not have been a better decision. From the moment we arrived, Ray at the front desk greeted us with genuine Southern warmth and ease. He welcomed us, showed us around, and even walked us to our Deluxe Cabin. We were delighted to discover there’s a restaurant on site (with beer and wine) as well as a well-stocked store—unexpected comforts in such a beautifully remote setting. Ray brought us firewood so we could enjoy a fire in our cabin’s fire pit. In the months leading up to our visit, Charlene was a delight to work with – charming, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful as we planned our stay. Though she’s transitioning to new horizons, her hospitality set the tone long before we arrived. Our Deluxe Cabin was adorable, spotless, and smartly designed. Under brand-new ownership, we had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Erica, several times during our stay. The cabin included a kitchen and a full bathroom with a shower –comfortable, efficient, and perfect after long days exploring. Whenever we needed anything, the staff was consistently cordial, responsive, and kind. And the location truly cannot be beat – the campground sits directly across the street from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, making it the closest and most convenient lodging imaginable. I’ve already shared Okefenokee Pastimes with friends who are eager to visit, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I look forward to returning and spending more time immersed in the quiet, mysterious, and magical presence of the swamp. And after leaving and hours away visiting family, I realized I left my new converse shoes in the cabin. I called and Ray offered to mail them to me the next day. Thanks for a wonderful and magical time in the swamp!

Okefenokee pastimes cabins and campground was great. The staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in a rented RV and it was clean. The campground was right across from the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge so it was nice to be able to go for a boat ride, come back to camp for lunch and then go back for an evening hike. We will definitely be back!

Excellent experience. excellent location to get to the swamp. The swamp is simply awesome. Check in was effortless. Stayed in a Cabin; it was well-equipped as advertised. Cup coffee maker was a surprise so i did not have to make crappy instant coffee. The internet is spotty but I expected it to be spotty; Tough to span large distances in remote areas. I went to the screen room which is in the main building and close to the router when i needed good connection. Cabin had a TV; took a while to figure it out but i got to watch the MLB playoffs one night. I have no idea exactly what channels the TV can get. The bunks are 6 ft though i did not use them. The main bed is a full, i think. Will definitely stay there again when the swamp comes calling

It is super close to Okefenokee Refuge, but over an hour to Stephen C. Foster State Park. They are dog friendly but they don’t want you to leave your dog unattended in the cabin. The cabins are super cute. (Small screened porch with chairs, no frills inside). It was very cool in the cabin even though it was super hot outside. I appreciate the ceiling fan! I’m ok with rustic and no frills although it was ~$180 for the night. My one real complaint was that online I selected a different cabin; to their credit they state you may not get the cabin you select. However, the one I selected stayed empty and had a better view. The one we were put in faced a very trashy area off property.

This place was awesome! Their service was amazing. We had a big campsite with about 20 people and they accommodated all of us. There is a camp dishwashing station and lots of bathrooms. When we asked for extra picnic tables, they brought some. They even invited us over for a movie night and offered to let us borrow some movies and a projector. We felt like part of the family.

We stayed here over July 4th weekend. It's such a cute little campground. We had a deluxe cabin that was just perfect for my son, husband, and myself. The campground was quiet and very clean. We had limited interactions with the staff, but the interactions we did have were all pleasant. They were very friendly. The only complaint we had was that office hours were a hit or miss over the holiday weekend. Thursday was the only day we were actually able to get into the office. Because it doesn't open until 10am, it was still closed by the time we left each morning. They were always closed by the time we returned. The restaurant was only open one day we were there and even though the office should have been open that Sunday by 10a, it was still closed when we left at 10:45. That said, we enjoyed our time there and will stay in one of their cabins again the next time we are able to visit Okefenokee.

Great, right off the road less traveled but easier drive. Good food. Great service, nice people. Hope to stop there on the way back down to FL.
