Conductor's Corner Campsites

3 sites · RVs1 acre · Folkston, GA

Call us bias, but there’s nothing better than small town life. When the "blue roof cottage by the tracks" (yes, it used to have a unique blue roof) hit the market in early 2021, we knew it had to be ours! We purchased it & flipped it into a vacation home for guests of Folkston .. and The Conductor's Corner was born. Because we are also avid RV'ers, we thought what better way to finish off our corner than to add a few first-class RV sites to accommodate the camping community. We hope you enjoy your stay on our corner! In a small town in the south, where the Okefenokee Swamp runs deep and railfans thrive, the Conductor’s Corner stands out. The Conductor’s Corner features 3 premium RV sites directly on the rail lines of the Folkston Funnel. This railfan's dream neighbors the Folkston Railfan Train Platform. The spacious concrete pads are perfect for a night of watching trains under the stars. 20x50 concrete pads with 30/50 amp power, water, sewer, Wifi & picnic tables. A quick 3 minute walk from the Conductor’s Corner will lead to the heart of Main Street where visitors will find a plethora of hidden treasures: coffee shops, boutiques, local eateries, the Train Museum and so much more. Guests could spend a day exploring the habitats and waterways of the Okefenokee Swamp or take a short drive to neighboring communities such as Cumberland Island, Savannah, Golden Isles or Amelia Island or Jacksonville in Florida. All the comforts of home and the utmost southern hospitality are included in your stay on our corner. The Conductor's Corner also includes a vacation cottage available for rent (sleeps 6).

The best camping near Crooked River State Park guide

Overview

About

Crooked River State Park is a 500-acre preserve located just north of the Florida border on the Atlantic Coast. It’s an angler’s paradise—bring your boat to put in at the ramp or grab a rental onsite. A full-service bait shop makes it easy to pick up supplies, and a dockside cleaning station means you can cook what you catch. Aside from the water, Crooked River is known for its abundant wildlife, birding, and hiking trails through piney maritime forest. Learn all about the park’s diverse ecosystem at the nature center, and visit a nearby tabby mill for a taste of local history. The park is also just down the road from the ferry to popular Cumberland Island, making it a good stop on your way to exploring the Golden Isles.
