Factory Shoals Park - Covington (GA)

5 /5 Atkinson Shea (dedncide): Great place to come get some peace. Quiet trails and great spot for a picnic or BBQ. River nearby for swimming, but mind the currents. There has been several fatalities from inexperienced swimmers. Be safe and have fun.

5 /5 Laura Torres: I have been hiking different trails and factory Shoals is the Best park to the camp ground to the main entrance I go every other week the park is clean and the trails are visible to get in and out the bathrooms are super clean if you ever want to walk down the rocks you can start from the campground to the bridge so much fun! The warden does ride around so that a plus I feel safe! The main entrance has tables and seating area for family reunions and a field to play soccer or football or any kind of event.

4 /5 Shannon Folds: Came to enjoy the river. We drove in and paid our $2 for parking then parked in a place near some stairs that led to a path by the river. We were able to walk into the river from the bank. The area was clean and we had a good time.

5 /5 LeeAnne Tant: Weve been coming here since we were kids. We raised our kids in this river and taught them the rules and etiquette. When Ranger Mike left, it was a pretty rough blow to the park. The new Ranger tho. Hes proving to be just as dedicated and "married" to his post as Mr. Mike was. The changes hes made, along with his constant maintenance of the facilities and campsites make this a magnet for anyone seeking some just the basics kid friendly camping. The rates have been increased this year to $20/p/night and they still fall under( by a good $10 a night) less than anywhere in a 45 mile radius We love this park, we come often and look forward to our many more visits. Great work Ranger!

5 /5 Nicolle Maddox: Note to future campers: the campground is NOT located at the address provided. This is the recreational park. The campground is actually up the road, on the opposite side of the park, at the entrance of the graveyard. This campground is first come, first serve. It is $15 dollars a night. Some of the sites are waterfront. There is a bathroom with a shower that was kept up with and stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. There is also a water spigot near the bathroom and electrical outlets in the bathroom. We arrived late at night and didn’t see how to pay for the campground so we just set up but the next morning, the campground manager, Raymond, stopped by to welcome us and take our payment. He was very nice and helpful, keeping up with the grounds and the bathroom, and answering any questions we had. We lucked out and got a waterfront site (site 4) due to the fact somebody checked out early. We had a happy little bonus of getting to watch the beavers play in the river early in the morning. Each of the sites have a raised gravel platform for tents, a grill, and a fire pit. The campground was full on Saturday when we arrived but cleared out during the week. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back if we ever come back to the area. Thanks again, Raymond, for all that you do to keep up with the place and make it an enjoyable experience for campers like us! The recreational park was nice, with some good trails to hike, pretty views, and water that you could get in to if you wanted. On a final note: this campground is definitely set up for primitive camping, focusing more on tents. We have a 10 foot trailer. We were able to back in to our spot with no problem. The site was not level but that wasn’t a big deal for us in our rooftop tent. We didn’t check out the other sites but an RV would probably have a hard time setting up here.
