RV rental Waycross, GA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Pick up your camper rental in Waycross and drive south to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, which protects the 438,000-acre Okefenokee Swamp. Its name translates from a Native American word meaning “trembling earth” and provides a home for more than 600 plant species, 230 bird species, and 50 mammal species, together with amphibians that are bio-indicators of global health. Stop in at the Richard S. Bolt Visitor Center to learn about the local ecology, then head out to explore while hiking, canoeing, or boating to spot raccoons, alligators, white-tailed deer, and endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers. Just across the border near Hillard, Florida is the Ralph E Simmons State Forest, which was named as a memorial to a former board member of the St. Johns River Water Management District. The forest is both a recreational destination and managed for its ecological significance, with two oxbow lakes, cypress forests, and swamps that support a variety of wildlife. Explore the herb bogs, ravines, and low pinelands on foot while keeping an eye out for gopher tortoises, wild turkeys, and bobcats. Another destination that wildlife lovers shouldn’t miss is the Altamaha Wildlife Management Area, which encompasses around 30,000 acres where the Altahama River meets the North Atlantic Ocean. It’s one of the premier destinations for waterfowl spotting in Georgia, with a network of hiking trails and boat launches that provide access to the waterways. The reserve is located just south of the Sapelo Island Wildlife Management Area, a 16,500-acre island that’s best explored by canoe or along one of the short nature trails.
