Private campsites & glamping in Cordele, GA

Cordele is farm country in central Georgia, and its glamping is a lakeside surprise: furnished safari tents on the shore of Lake Blackshear, inside Georgia Veterans State Park, at prices well below the mountain stays.

Come for the lake — fishing, paddling, biking and disc golf from the tent door — and for the contrast with the mountain circuit. This is the Georgia glamping trip that does not require a mountain at all.
