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 Fort Clinch State Park guide

Overview

About

In northeast Florida, the Fort Clinch State Park features a rich historical and cultural experience. After touring the fort, hop on your bike to explore the 3.3 miles of paved road or go off-road.

Swim in the Cumberland Sound or sunbathe on the warm, white sand beach. This Florida state park has two boat launches, so you can spend a day on the water fishing. Catch sight of large arching live oaks as you hike throughout the 1,400-acre park.

Two campgrounds, with fire ring, picnic table, potable water, and a mixture of 30 and 50-amp electric hook-ups, makes a difficult choice. The Amelia River Campground offers 42 campsites and amazing river views. The Atlantic Beach Campground has 21 RV and six tent-only sites surrounded by white sand dunes.

As a registered camper, you can use the dump station along with the restrooms with showers and laundry facilities. If your pet is well-behaved, they are welcome at all the campgrounds.
