If you’re not up for mini-soap doilies and a chlorine pool, you’ll love camping with our rock-rugged guides at Southeastern Expeditions.

After an easy day’s paddle through section III and the beginning of section IV on the famed Chattooga River, we’ll treat you to a playful day and sumptuous night in Sumter National Forest. You’ll need the rest because the next day you’ll embark on section IV’s class three and four rapids – combating the likes of Corkscrew, Jawbone and the finale, Sock em Dog.  Just to name a few.

This is the best value that you’ll find in South Carolina or Georgia for an overnight river trip.

Why Overnight Rafting Trips with Southeastern Expeditions are the Best Value in the Southeast

Only with an overnight rafting trip can you really experience all of the facets of a southern river. From the moment you set out you’ll be adjusting to your paddle, raft, guide and the pristine surroundings of an older world, which is filled with wonder and adventure.

Now, when you go out for a day, it’s not long before the rapids swallow it. Your adrenaline takes over and you won’t be able to think about anything but getting over the crest of the biggest white water drop you’ve ever seen.

That makes for an awesome experience. But it goes fast, and we all know there’s more to nature than gritting teeth.

Talk to our guides. You’ll hear how they’re thrilled with their day jobs. They spend all of their time on this river that is by turns thrilling and harmonious. Their presence of mind comes not just with experience, but through all of the time they’ve spent communing with a deeper feeling, which our lovely Chattooga only brings to visitors in moments of contemplation and camaraderie. When you come for a day-trip, you’ll have a fantastic time. But when you come for an overnight, you’ll know what our guides do:

That the river is a portal into another world you’ll never want to leave.

White Water Rafting Weekends for Groups of all Sizes and Ages

Adventure seekers, explorers, scouts, friends, parents, kids. As long as you’re 12 years old and accompanied by an adult we’d love to have you. That being said, once we push off you’ll be stuck with us for about 35 hours.

Here are some points to keep in mind:

• The rapids are intense
• You’ll need to paddle a lot
• You must follow your guide’s directions
• You’ll get wet
• Camp out
• And eat steak

Relaxing Overnight Camping by the Chattooga River

Did we write steak? Okay, maybe it’ll be trout. Either way, if you can catch it – we’ll help you eat it. After a fun-filled day on the river our expert camp-cookie will prepare a fabulous BBQ repast that will allow you time to relax and enjoy the magnificence of the Chattooga. But in case you’re curious: our guides are professional, highly trained, certified in life-saving, wilderness survival, and make outstanding camp entrees.

In the morning you’ll arise to the scent of a hearty southern breakfast, which will provide you with the energy you’ll need to make it through an intense day of very exciting whitewater rafting.

We recommend kayaking and canoeing in combination with our overnight camping options in Georgia. We offer options for beginning, intermediate and advanced kayakers and canoers, allowing you to choose your skill level and receive instruction. Here’s what you can expect at each level:

Enjoy a Group Overnight Camping Trip

Do you have a group looking for a fun activity to encourage bonding and exercise? An overnight excursion along the Chattooga may be just the thing for you. When you take a rafting and camping trip with us, you will experience challenges both mental and physical.

Your group will need to work together to navigate the rapids in the river and get dinner ready together at night. Our professional guides excel at pulling your group together to work toward a common goal. Whether you have all camped before or not, you will close out your adventure feeling closer as a team and invigorated by your success.

Our trips are ideal for:

• Scouting troops: Boys and girls can gain confidence in their abilities and their leadership as they raft and set up camp.
• Corporate groups: Nothing brings co-workers or professionals in different fields together faster than a shared test, and our rapids serve them up. You will reminisce fondly for weeks about what happens on the river.
• Adventure seekers: Have you already tamed skiing, skating and bungee jumping? Then it’s time to dive into whitewater rafting and reward yourself with a camping trip afterward.
