The Stephen C Foster State Campground is oddly located in the middle of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refugee. That oddity will save you the $5 state entrance fee to stay here if you already have a National Park Pass.
Most camp sites were relatively level and had some trees for privacy. However there are a few such as 15,18 and 21 that have nothing separating them. There are fire rings, tables, water, cable and electricity at every site.
I would recommend sites on Loop 2 or on the camp access road for larger RVs. The road for Loop 1 has some tight turns with several trees on the road.
Bathrooms at this campground were older but adequately clean. Shower water was hot but the stream was weak at times if there were a number of people showering. They have removed the urinals in the men’s room which at times can make for long waits.
There was no wifi and AT&T signal was occasional at best – enough for texts to go through from time to time. Phone calls rarely went through and were quickly cut off. Our Xfintiy/Verizon had enough signal to make a call but not enough to search the web.
The Park Office doubles as the camp store. There you can rent kayaks and motor boats to go out into the swamp. They also have group tours if you prefer to go with other people that the alligators might eat before you. The store also has a few camp supplies of food and camp items. I was surprised that at this very remote location, the store had no staples such as eggs, bread and milk.
There were a few trails from the campground to the store but none were marked and all of them went through someones campsite.
Renting a motorboat is $40 for two hours and $10 an hour after that. The older man in charge of boats was grumpy and could have offered some pointers what to do and what to avoid. If you are planning on going to Big Water Lake you will need over 4 hours in a motorboat. We saw more alligators when we out in a kayak than a motorboat. Of course you are also closer to them which some might not enjoy.
Another option to get out into the swamp is to take a guided tour on a pontoon boat. Adults and teens are $15, kids 4 to 11 are $10 and under 4 is free.
The cost for a site here was high $35 per night plus tax. If you are in a tent they reduce the rate by $4. I could not convince them that our van Sparty was really a metal tent so they would not give us the discount.
In addition to campsites they also have cabins available to rent for $150/night.
Note that when you search on line, the “C.” makes a big difference. If you forget the “C” you may find yourself at Stephen Foster State Park in Florida
