Campgrounds and RV parks near Moody Air Force Base, GA

Wild Adventures Theme Park anchors family plans in the area. The Valdosta park combines rides, a water park, animal exhibits, and a summer concert series, and it has its own on-site Safari Campground with a dedicated park entrance. Outdoor time centers on Reed Bingham State Park, where a 375 acre lake is popular with boaters and skiers, and fishing for bass, crappie, catfish and bream is excellent, and paddlers can rent canoes and kayaks. The Coastal Plain Nature Trail passes through habitat that includes nearly 80 percent of the Coastal Plain's plant community, and nesting bald eagles are often seen in winter, when thousands of black and turkey vultures roost in the trees. Downtown Valdosta adds restaurants, breweries, and the historic Lowndes County Courthouse. Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area, adjacent to the base, offers a boardwalk and observation tower over a cypress swamp.
