Join Keeping It Wild for beginner camping at Fort Mountain State Park.  We will be camping at the pioneer camp site.  The site is considered "primitive" and "rugged" by Georgia State Parks because there is no water or electricity, but the site does have an outhouse and it is only 520 feet from the parking area. 

Activities include: beginner camping instruction, hiking, bug safari, camp fire with smores, owl prowl, and more.

We will show you how to put up a tent, start a fire, use the camp stove and more.

Campers need to bring all meals.  We will provide further guidance and tips as the date gets closer.

REI will provide sleeping bags, pads, and headlamps for individuals, tents for individuals or families, and campstoves for the group to share.  When you register, please indicate the equipment you need.
