Planning Your Trip When you make your reservation, you will be reserving a camping platform or island or series of platforms. To view possible itineraries, click on the Build Itinerary button at the top right of the page. This itinerary page is a great reference, but it may not be 100 accurate if there are trail closures or impassable conditions affecting portions of the trail system in relation to certain overnight sites. The trails are designated by different colors and one trip may take you on several different trails - paddlers should look for colored trail markers which also designate the mile. During your trip, you must stay on the designated trails that take you on the most direct route to your overnight site. Some routes enter one part of the refuge and exit at another please plan accordingly to either hire a shuttle service or provide your own transportation if you will be entering and exiting from different swamp entrances.

Located in southeast Georgia, the Okefenokee Swamp is one of the largest intact freshwater wetlands in the world. Nearly all of the swamp and some of the neighboring uplands were set aside as the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in 1937 and now total over 407,000 acres. One of the most unique experiences a visitor can have is wilderness camping in the vast and pristine swamp. With approximately 120 miles of water trails, seven overnight camping platforms and two interior island campsites, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge offers visitors from all over the country and the world a unique recreation experience. Okefenokee NWR only issues one permit per platform each night, offering your party complete solitude to enjoy the swamp during your wilderness camping experience.
