Lake Pines Campground and RV Park
Along the northern edge of the woodlands that comprise much of Fort Benning, Lake Pines Campground and RV Park offers visitors pull-through, full hookup RV sites and primitive campsites set along the pines that shelter the park. The peaceful atmosphere of the park and the natural beauty of this secluded section of Columbus allows for personal reflection following a trip to historical attractions such as the National Prisoner of War Museum on the site of a Civil War prisoner of war camp in Andersonville. The park also plays host to larger gatherings with an event center. A pool, dump station, propane and laundry facility complete the amenities at this park.

Uchee Creek Army Campground and Marina
Military service members, dependents and retirees can opt to stay in this wooded campground tucked away on the southwest corner of Fort Benning. The Chattahoochee River provides the playground for guests staying in the rental cabins, tent sites or full hookup RV sites at Uchee Creek Army Campground and Marina. A pier extending onto the river allows anglers to drop a line close to camp, while a boat ramp encourages visitors to leave the comforts of the campground to find their own fishing spot. A store ensures that campers are properly provisioned with camp necessities such as propane and firewood, while the playground, pool, dump station and laundry attend to other practical and aesthetic needs.
