Paddle the Okefenokee, Camping and Cast Iron Campfire Cooking

Join us for 2 nights of camping at Griffis Fish Camp by the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refugee. Camping cost is $5.00 per person per night. There is also a $2.00 launch fee for each person. We have the Red Top shelter reserved so you can pitch your tent anywhere in the area. If you need hookup for a camper, you'll need to reserve your own spot. Bring some firewood if you can. It gets dark early & chilly in December and we'll enjoy a campfire both nights.
Saturday we'll launch from Stephen Foster State Park at 9:30 and paddle 7 miles back to Griffis, with a lunch stop at the Sill where we will probably have to portage over. If the water level continues to be low, be prepared to portage your kayak over low spots and deadfall. If you don't have a Ga. State Park pass or a National Park Pass, there is a fee for parking at SFSP. Ga. State Park passes are also free to borrow from any public library.
Back at camp we'll get the fires going and start cooking. Cooking is optional but the more the merrier. Come sit around the campfire and show us what you can do with your old cast iron, or roast a sausage on a stick. There is no menu, absolutely anything goes. Bring your own plates/bowls/utensils to help reduce waste.
Sunday morning will be a leisurely packing up. There is no check out time. If there is interest (and clean pots) maybe we can cook breakfast too.
Everyone is free to go back to explore the Okefenokee further before heading home.
