We spent a lovely vacation at Okefenokee Pastimes in February 2013. We researched a lot of information, both on TA and other places before deciding where to stay and how to see the swamp, and were very happy with our choice. Okefenokee Pastimes is located on the east side of the Okefenokee Swamp. The east side is a more open... More

On our way north we stopped over at the Okefenokee Swamp for a day tour. Thru their website we were able to make reservations for a half a day trip with Steve. Responses were prompt and the contact was very nice. The tour Steve took us on was great. He is a knowledgeable guide, that can tell a lot about... More

You can stay in a very clean, tasteful and affordable cabin or bring your own RV or tent. You can book kayak tours with owners Jo and Steve! This place is special, and it's the closest accommodation to the Refuge which is a gem of the SE!

We decided to stop in Okefenokee on our way home from Florida. I researched and found these cabins. The website is somewhat pedantic, but the cabins seemed charming so we booked for 2 nights. We were arriving on Sunday, when they are closed, so we had a 1 hour window to check in. That made the drive a little nerve-wracking.... More

We stayed here 3 nights and did 2 of the kayak tours, one guided in the swamp and the other a shuttle to/from the St Mary's river. We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was small but very well appointed and lacked for nothing, well, except space. The mini little screen porch was nice but temps were too chilly the... More

We arrived sleep deprived after staying at a hostel and our stay here really helped us recover. We slept so well, it was really quiet at night and the bed was warm and comfortable. We stayed in a Deluxe cabin. Everything was really clean and cozy. The cabin and its kitchen are well equipped. They even provide salt and pepper... More

Conducting research in Okefenokee Swamp was made a ton easier by working with the pros. Both Steve and Jo got us all settled in our cabin and early the next morning we set off for a four-hour private tour of the swamp. As it was early December we were the only ones out there. Steve's knowledge of the ecosystem, the... More

We just returned from 3 nights at Okefenokee Pastimes. My uncle stayed in one deluxe cabin, and my sister, her teenage daughter and I stayed in another. The other reviews are right-on. The cabins are extremely clean, and had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, comfortable pillows, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, liquid soap and dishwashing liquid. Everything...

I took my daughter who is 16 here for a canoe trip in the Okefenokee Swamp. This place is directly across from the entrance at Folkston, GA. If you want a 5 star hotel and demand room service this is not for you. If you want a quiet and clean place to stay this is it. We got a deluxe... More

Okefenokee Pastimes is a totally different vacation experience that we will remember for years to come. My wife and I have traveled throughout Georgia and were looking for a different experience, something we had never done before. The Okefenokee swamp seemed perfect. After researching the many tourist opportunities at the swamp, we decided to try Okefenokee Pastimes because of its... More
