Serenity in Nature's Lap

Whether you are exploring nearby parks, celebrating an event, stopping by on your travels, or gathering around a campfire under the stars, our goal is to make your stay unforgettable. Join us and discover the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation.
Newell Lodge is conveniently located 14 miles from the Florida-Georgia border and 8 miles outside of the town of Folkston. The grounds of the property date back to the 16th century, with further development across the railroad in the early 1900's of the former town known as Newell. While the town is no longer there, the railroad the town was created because of is still operating and can be heard from the grounds. Explore the adventures of Okefenokee Swamp located 18 miles away and learn the local history of the refuge.
Nestled in the heart of a 300 year old oak grove, you will find yourself relaxing and indulging in the outdoors. With 52 Acres of lush landscape, we provide a variety of camping options to suit every preference. Stay in one of our 6 cabins, rent one of our full service RV hookup sites, or rent a tent site. Every site is equipped and designed to offer comfort and convenience to ensure a peaceful stay. We focus on accommodating all types of travelers, large groups, and families.
