Wildwood Park (Columbia County Park)
Overview
Wildwood Park is a sprawling 750-acre destination located on the beautiful shores of Clarks Hill Lake, also known as Lake Thurmond. As one of the most popular parks in Columbia County, it offers a refreshing escape into the Georgia wilderness. The park balances a quiet, natural atmosphere with the excitement of world-class recreation, making it a standout choice for RV travelers who appreciate scenic waterfront views and well-maintained public facilities for a comfortable stay.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the town of Appling, Georgia, the park is surrounded by dense forests and the vast expanse of one of the largest reservoirs in the Southeast. The wooded campsites offer a sense of privacy and a close connection to the local ecosystem. Its location provides a perfect balance, tucked away from the noise of the city while remaining within a short drive of the amenities and services found in the greater Augusta area, ensuring travelers have everything they need nearby.
Amenities & Park Features
RVers will find level campsites equipped with 30 and 50-amp electrical service along with water hookups. The park is specifically designed to handle the needs of boaters, featuring six lanes of mega-ramps and a large parking area for trailers. Guests have access to modern restrooms, hot showers, and a dedicated dump station. Furthermore, the park is home to several championship disc golf courses, making it a hub for competitive and casual play alike throughout the year.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary attraction is undoubtedly the lake, where visitors can enjoy top-tier bass fishing, swimming, and kayaking. A unique feature of this location is the International Disc Golf Center, which houses a museum and three world-class courses right on the park grounds. For a change of pace, the nearby Mistletoe State Park offers additional hiking trails, while the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area provides a glimpse into the region’s industrial history and scenic waterway tours.
Who This Park Is Best For
Wildwood Park is a premier choice for outdoor adventurers and tournament anglers seeking a functional and beautiful base camp. It is particularly well-suited for families who enjoy water sports and travelers who prioritize a tranquil, natural environment over the commercial feel of private RV resorts. If you are looking for a place where you can launch a boat at sunrise and relax under the pines at sunset, this park fits your travel style perfectly.

I enjoy the campground and all the beauty of the park....Wouldn't it be nice to have coin operated washers/dryers as well as ice machines...would make it so much more convenient for those of us who like to camp for extended periods...the expense of having these luxuries would be repaid quickly.. Thank you

Went there to keep the feast of Tabernacles. Did primintive tent camping among big Rv's and still enjoyed. Super clean restroom/bath house. All camp sites have water/electric hook ups, picnic table and fire pit. Bring your own wood. The fish are jumping. I will be back again... Yah willing.

This is an excellent campground with awesome views of the lake. No sewer hookups but well worth the stay!!

Absolutely loved this place. The only downfall was when we arrived, the bath house for our campsite was out of order . We had to drive to the large boat ramp to use the restroom and to another campsite to shower. It was finally fixed the last day we were there. Other than that, the water was clear enough to see my feet about a foot or so out. It was quiet all the time. Loved the picnic area. There was plenty of shade for my family and I to enjoy. Next time, I hope we have a camper instead of just tents.
