Wood Lake Recreation Area/Campground

Nice 5 spot primitive campground with boat ramp & park outhouse no showers. 10 dollars a night.

Very basic camping. This is a hunters camp. No electric, water or tank dump available. There were only 6(?) sites and there was sadly trash strewn about. The toliet area was clean and trash disposal close at hand. There was is also a boat landing close by. I do not plan to return because we were unhappy about the trash and the smallness of the place. We normally hike, bike and explore areas we camp in. This was not an area I would feel comfortable spending time in. There were hunters in camp with dogs but they were quiet and respectful with little noise from the dogs. Their area was clean but I would not want to be around if someone wanted to use the deer dressing rack. I have hunters in my family but this is a place for hunters not us.

Wood Lake Recreation area and Campground I made a visit by there Jan. 24, 2019 to check out lake access for a fishing trip in near future. You will pass by the campsites heading down to the boat ramp there. I will say it's a nice ramp 1 lane for lake access but I could only see two maybe three places to park a vehicle with boat trailer. Like I mentioned before you pass by campsites coming in and campers look like they are homesteading the area with you name it laying around looks like they have been there for months very dumpy looking . I would be afraid to stay overnight there just to be honest with you and I'm a grown man used to being in the outdoors. You might be okay parking a vehicle with boat trailer there during daylight hours but I'd have some reservations about it seriously. I can't say anything about warmer weather how it might change, just relaying my recent experience. Good luck and be cautious.

Had a pleasant stay until I met the local "site hoppers". I wanted to be alone but had a guy who was living out of his van come and want to make friends.... Other then the campsite bums it was a beautiful place. Seen a bunch of coyotes see watch your food and trash.

We recently launched from Ochlocknee River State Park and ran the 10 miles upriver to Wood Lake Campground. It's a national forest campground so minimal fees and services. Noticed that some reviewers said the place was trashed, others that it was very clean, we fall in the middle but suspect it gets well used during general gun. Most hunters are good people but opening day and last day brings out the scofflaws. I noted most reviewers label themselves as "guides" , then talk about the "lake". Clearly not from around here. You will note numerous references to Wood Lake, Sanborn Lake, Red Lake, Porter's Lake, etc, these are all oxbows which are connected to the Ochlocknee River. If you are a paddler, Syfrett Creek is upstream of the boat ramp and is a good paddle either pre (Oct/Nov) or post (Feb/April) hunting season. Looking forward to leaving the power boat at home and paddling there on a day trip this fall. If you choose to explore the waters be sure to bring the USGS Sanborn 7.5 minute topographic map. Fairly easy to download to your phone. This is the most confusing river round here!
