Fort Benning, Columbus, GA

Uchee Creek Campground and Marina has been voted in the Campers Choice Award top 5 for the BEST Military Campground. We stayed a couple nights in February 2010 to visit, and to let a snow storm pass. We can see why it's a top rated military recreation facility. The directions finding the campground seemed confusing, but we found it. It seemed strange to enter Fort Benning, drive through the base, then leave Fort Benning out the other side to get to the campground. Uchee Creek campground isn't behind any security gates. Actually, there's an alternative way to get to the campground if approaching from the west side of Fort Benning - you don't need to got through Fort Benning. After our visit, I upgraded the driving directions to make them a little clearer.

Being winter, the place was pretty quiet with few campers. It had been snowing, with more snow coming in. But we can see this place being very busy in good weather, with plenty of activities. I could vision the very nice swimming pool full of families enjoying their camping vacation. I regret it now, but I didn't go check out the marina. Based on the condition of the other facilities, I bet the marina has plenty of water activities and boats for rent. I'd sure like to return here in nice weather.
