Canal run campsite

It’s easier to come in from the East side of the swamp. Great spot to camp, and stretch your legs. There is dry land around the deck. There are several small alligators in this area, they act like they have been having people feed them.

Platform shelter with adjacent small area of dry land which includes a fire ring. Long bench along the back under the shelter and one picnic table. Nice views of the narrower part of the canal but surrounded by trees is like to be buggy at many times of the year. Tame resident gator (do not feed) sticks around. Toilet with hand sanitizer but not as clean as Coffee Bay (Nov 2020).

Great place off the grid and very remote. It's only accessible by kayak. There is a porta potter there if you need it.

I would give five stars to the awesome nature of the spot which has a lot of canopy overhanging the creek and some really tall trees. Two downsides is the porta potty is too close to the table, it's not pleasant to smell loads of poop while you eat or sleep! And be prepared for the mosquitoes, lots of shallow pools in the swamp forest all around so there's a ton of them. But canal run is one of the most awesome kayaking spots in Okefenokee. I just love when the trees make a tunnel of canopy to paddle through

Easy paddle up or down stream. There is land here so a camp fire is ok in the fire ring provided.
