A Note About Current Ramp Information

Camden County's park maintenance responsibilities changed on January 1, 2026, with the county and municipalities now directly maintaining their respective parks. That makes checking current local information particularly important when conditions or facilities change. Camden County GA

Georgia DNR's current coastal boating directory also separates some of these facilities under different names, so this guide uses the local names boaters are most likely to recognize. Coastal DNR
