The boat was a bit pricey, 64.00 for four hours, but the trails were well marked. Highlight was a visit to Billy's Island. Saw lots of birds and an alligator. There are three entrances and this is one of them.

Nice little get a way! Don't forget to rent a boat and tour the swamp, We had a blast seeing the wildlife up close!

Drove to the park as a day trip and to check out the cabins. Looked at the Eco Lodge first(very nice but located 18 miles from the park) and then drove to the park. The cabins in the park are well maintained and so is the campground. Nature trails are limited to one and it is only 1/2 mile long. The park centers around a small marina with a launch and rentals. Other than the boat tour and boat rentals, activities are limited. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is your place.

Went to take a boat trip in the swamp. Even though is was 55F that day, saw many alligators and birds. Great Photo Ops! The guide was well informed about the wildlife and plants. You can also rent canoes and camp at the park also. They have a nice gift shop and bathrooms. Food is limited so bring a lunch. There were deer in the parking lot. Another photo OP. Would go again!

We camped in the park overnight. Lovely State Park and very quiet after 9pm. We did a tour of the Okefenokee Swamp in the morning with a State Park Naturalist. It was great to be back in the park as 4 years ago we had torrential rain and saw no wildlife at all. It is a magical place to visit and well worth the $20 to see it. We loved it so much we will be visiting it again tomorrow but by another entrance. I would say that the bathroom facilities by the office, where we booked, were really bad and dirty. There was only one toilet for all the public who arrive to go out in boats and canoes. I would think it should be a priority to improve those facilities by 2015.

This park it great for nature lovers. Bring your camera they have wildlife everywhere. Take the boat tour it is well worth the money.

Rented a canoe for $18 for four hours. Scenery was gorgeous and we saw at least a dozen gators on the way to Billy's island and back. Spent the night in the campground and the animal noises were amazing sounds that we had never heard before. We only spent one day/overnight and felt it was enough time. Do not expect phone reception. Read about bear warnings but never saw any. This was a great trip!

I've been desiring to visit the Okefenokee for a long time, and was able to make a tent camping trip on a weeknight in late October. I had one section of the park all to myself and enjoyed the serenity and quiet. Bud Fuller, the assistant park manager, was very friendly and helpful. He is also frustrated by the strobe light on the radio tower (see RVGirls review) and Bud says they are working with the Federal Aviation Administration requirement to get it removed, as they want to conduct some "black night" stargazing activities.I did a brief solo canoe trip up the length of Billy's Lake and then floated back as the sun was setting. I estimate I saw (and heard) a dozen alligators, some of whom came with 10'-12' feet of the canoe. Bud says they are simply sizing up the aluminum canoe, and it since it's bigger than they are, they'll leave you alone (since I'm typing this, they clearly did.) I also made a sunrise run out the park gate along the state road and surprised a small bear and her cub off in the brush. Same dynamic.... she just watched me and I kept moving at the same jogging pace. Pretty exciting experiences!I actually had fairly reliable AT&T cell phone service from site #48, which was a little disappointing as I hoped to be truly "off the grid" but it made my wife happy that I could check in from time to time :-)

Stephen C. Foster State Park is out in the wild, it's 17 miles from the main highway at a dead end, so don't forget anything!We had booked a two bed cabin as there were 4 of us, 2 couples for 3 nights, we arrived at about 5 pm on the 18 September to find the office closed, no sign of life with the exception of quite a few deer wondering about. We mulled about for a while then decided to knock on one of the cabins that had vehicles parked outside. We then caught sight of a big dog and decided against knocking, so we honked the horn and a guy came out to us. As it turns out he was one of the rangers, his name was Bud, a really pleasant and helpful guy.He went to the office and got us our keys to cabin No 4 and let us in. First impression of the cabin was very good indeed and that was the impression we left with. It was perhaps the best cabin we have stayed in, in any State Park in the US.Once we got settled in and made ourselves at home we ate and drank some then turned in for the night. When we woke we were greeted by the deer and there were quite a few woodpeckers around.During our stay we went on a swamp tour which was excellent. Michael the ranger who did the tour was a very knowledgeable guy and interesting to talk to. He was fresh, he didn't sound like he'd done this hundreds of times before.So all in all it's worth the trip, we all really did enjoy our stay and would thoroughly recommend to one and all.

We just returned from a two night stay at the park and found it a wonderful experience. The cabin was beyond our expectations. We were with another couple and we each had our own full bath and bedroom. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, but you do need to bring paper products for the kitchen. Although the park office has some food, make sure you bring what you need. As others have stated, there is no phone service. We took a sunset cruise and day cruises. The sunset was enhanced with lightning in the distance and being able to see stars without lights is a rare experience. Michael did our day tours and you can tell he really knows the park and enjoys what he does. Although getting there is a bit out of the way, it is well worth it.
