A. H. Stephens State Park
9.19.25-0.20.25 It’s a convenient place to stop off I-20, but A. H. Stephens State Park offers so much more. A. H. Stephens State Park is located in Crawfordville, GA–just three turns off Interstate 20. The park is best known for its history and equestrian facilities. There is an equestrian campground loop with 29 sites and a barn with stalls for horses. We also noticed a place to wash horses near the barn.

The sewer connections were added about a year ago when the entire campground was renovated. A. H. Stephens…
