Georgia On My Mind - Okefenokee Swamp camping and day kayaking

Update 2/20:
By now, you should have called Griffis Fish Camp to make your camping reservation. Here are the reserved sites confirmed yesterday:

| me | | 2 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Karen H | | 1A |
| Jim Beuoy | 1B |
| Bob | | 5 |
| Erin | | 5 |
| Sharon | | 12 |
| Joanne | | 13 |
| Lauren | | 13 |

Check in any time; check out: 1pm

Proposed plan: (all optional)
Arrival on Saturday, set up camp. If you arrive early enough, you may want to visit Okefenokee Adventures for a guided motorboat trip. There is one at 2:00 and another at 4:00, each $35 per person. Please comment below if you think you would arrive early and are interested in this.

The rest of us will simply arrive on Saturday, explore around the campground, and set up camp. Dinner is on your own.
We will meet around the campfire at my site, to finalize plans for Sunday.

Sunday, I propose spending the entire day at Stephen Foster State Park. You can kayak or canoe among the alligators. Boat rentals are first come, first serve, with only 4 kayaks available. However, there are "plenty of canoes." I'll be looking for a canoe partner if a kayak is not available. Kayak and canoe rentals are $40 each for 8am-5pm.
Take a trail lunch.

For dinner: everyone please bring something to throw on the grill for yourself, and a side dish/appetizer/dessert to share.

Monday: pack up and head to Providence Canyon.

Other notes: my campsite has a shelter, so a canopy will not be needed for our group gatherings on this leg of the trip. Bob is bringing an ax; there are plenty of chopped down trees, per Walter, the campground owner. The campground has bathrooms with showers and running water. Each site has electricity and water, but not hookups.
Cash payment is required upon arrival: $25 for a camper + $5 addtl person; $15 for a tent + $8 addtl person.
All GA state parks charge a $5/car fee to enter the park, or you can buy an annual pass ahead of time online for $50, but need to allow time for shipping the pass to you.

Original post:
This segment will involve kayaking with lots of wildlife, including alligators!
We will camp at Griffis Fish Camp, which sounds awesome! It was established in 1856, but has been updated since, and is located on the Suwanee River.
I booked the last site with a shed which so we can all gather there in the evenings There is water and electricity, and showers, (they don't sound too deluxe). This is campsite #2 and costs $15/night. There is firewood everywhere, we just need to chop it; so someone bring an ax. Campers/RVs are allowed.

Call 1-762-800-9347 and let them know you want a site close to Linda Legeza. A $25 deposit is required and remaining costs are to be paid in cash upon arrival.

You can bring a kayak or rent one, but rentals are first come first serve. We can visit Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge nearby, and explore this area.
