Campgrounds and RV parks near Morven, GA

Water recreation drives most trips. At Reed Bingham, anglers fish the dam and lake, paddlers take the Little River upstream, and the park rents kayaks and canoes for those who arrive without gear. The 375 acre lake is popular with boaters and skiers, and fishing for bass, crappie, catfish and bream is excellent. Wildlife viewing is a strong draw. Visitors usually see abundant wildlife, including species such as gopher tortoises, yellow bellied sliders and indigo snakes. Bald eagles, tortoises, and alligators are also commonly spotted along the lake and trails. Nearly 80 percent of the Coastal Plain's plant community can be found along the park's Coastal Plain Nature Trail, and seven miles of walking and biking trails lead through the park's diverse ecosystems, from bald cypress swamp to sand hills and a pitcher plant bog. Families staying at private parks near Valdosta often add a day at Wild Adventures Theme Park, plus shopping and restaurants along the I-75 corridor.
