"Great experience, booked a three day hog hunt and had great success. Guides are very knowledgeable and have their guests best interests in mind. Lodge is very clean and setup beautifully. Would highly recommend for those looking for a great high quality hunting experience."

"We are having a good time out in these Georgia woods chasing turkeys."

"What a blessing to have the opportunity to head down to Georgia with my buddy Chris Haas this past week! Great conversation on the road...great stories from the hunt and some special God moments both on the hunt and at the Oconee River Lodge. To top it all off we were both able to harvest hogs and meet some new friends."

"This place was AMAZING people there are super nice and treat you like family definitely one of the best times I have ever had hunting the cabin is very clean and has snacks and food ready on time all the time don't listen to any of the bad reviews this plane is awesome would definitely recommend !!!!!!!!!"

"Absolutely loved my stay at Oconee River Lodge! The lodge was top tier, and the accommodations were comfortable and well-equipped. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from guided hunts to delicious meals. The camaraderie among fellow hunters was fantastic, making it a truly memorable experience. I can't wait to return for another hunt in such a awesome place! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional hunting getaway."

"This was by far one of the most amazing hunts I have ever been on in my life.We had the deer and hog combo hunt. We drove up there with a group of 8. Our trip started out getting there mid day, so our hunt started that evening. The 1st afternoon every single person saw deer. Over the next few days every person in our group got an opportunity to kill a deer or hog, with many of us killing both.. The guides were super knowledgeable and they took us to and from the woods every day putting us in a range of areas from big fields, to hard woods. The stands were all newer and comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing, miss Darlene kept us well fed with real southern cooking. The lodge was big and comfortable and not over crowded. I'm not one to write very many reviews but I would recommend this place to anyone looking to have an amazing hunt."

"Always a great time hunting with these guys!"

"This place is awesome. Not one part of the trip is there a complaint to be made about. The stay, food, and people were all fantastic. Was able to see plenty of deer and even able to take a shot at one. Booked my next trip here for 2025 before we left and am looking forward to coming back."

"World class guides, top notch amenities, and overall professional operation. Not to mention big bucks! Already booked my hunt for next year."

"I will begin to tell you I was nervous about this hunt. I have never hunted a lodge before and had some concerns with the recent reviews. This was a trip I had decided to take with my daughter to have some good father daughter time. We both luv fishing and hunting. The lodge did not let us down. It was truly an amazing time. My daughter saw deer every day in the stand. Clint did everything in his power to get us on deer. I had a really nice 8 pointer come in, if he had the other half of his rack, but they had already started to shed their racks. The last day I had a really nice buck come in which I took the shot at 173 yards and must have pulled. Cause when I took my riffle back to the range it is still dead on. We found no blood or hair. Plus, Clint took the drone out and scanned the area and found nothing but live does and bucks. So, he gets another year. Every day Darlene cooked amazing meals and there was always plenty of food for everyone. Thanks for making sure she kept a special area out for my food requirements. We didn't get to harvest a deer or hog, but this is why it's called free range hunting. They don't have high fence, and they don't have the deer on leashes that you can just shoot. This is real hunting with some great guides that do their best to make sure you are able to see and harvest a deer in the wild. I have become a member of the lodge and look forward to many more trips."

"I don't have anything bad to say about this place. The whole experience was top notch! Darlene is one hell of a cook and there was always plenty enough for seconds. The food was hands down delicious. Kevin, Clint, Rhett, and Vince will work their tails off to guide you to tagging a trophy. From checking trail cams, playing the wind and always making sure there is fresh feed. They are all very knowledgeable and will answer any question you have. The time and hard work they put in to do everything possible to make sure you're successful is amazing. The lodge was excellent. Very clean and spacious. The bedrooms were clean and simple. Beds were comfy and you also got a towel and washcloth. You go there to hunt, not to lay in bed all day. Having lockers to put all of your hunting equipment in downstairs is another great plus. Even though my group wasn't able to connect with a hog or buck I still left with a smile on my face and plan on going back for early season. If Im not able to swing early season I know for a fact I'll be going back eventually. I saw wildlife in every stand I sat in, I myself had an opportunity at a hog but wasn't able to connect. I can't thank these guys enough for such a great experience. All in all, if you want to meet likeminded genuine people that will work their ass off for you then give them a call. You won't be disappointed!! Great people, great food, great all round experience!"

"I just wanted to say a few things about the Crew that runs this place. It takes a lot of Hard Work to do what this family does! We had an Awesome time the last 4 days and being that our hunt was at the end of the season, it wasn't as successful as we would have liked, but that's hunting! Sometimes it's not about the kill, but about the hunt! They made every effort to make us feel welcome ands worked hard in doing so! We will be back soon! Thanks to all at Oconee River Lodge!"

"I am still on my way home from my hunt and I honestly can't think of anything negative about this experience with the lodge. It was a complete blast. They are a family ran business and it shows because while you're there they treat you the same way. The guides were great and full of information. If you have a question just ask. They will have answer for you. They do everything they can to get you a trophy. Unfortunately my group did not bring anything home but it is a free range hunt. So if you're a true outdoorsman or women and you truly enjoy the "hunt" then this is a place for you to try out. The lodge was very nice. They have lockers for you to hang your gear in and for your boots and weapon of choice. They have a pool table in the downstairs to pass some time and a little hunting game as well to pass sometime. The bedrooms were very simple but I don't require much. I was there to hunt not lay in bed. I sleep with a fan on and my daughter got cold and there was extra blankets so it was a win win. Breakfast was very simple but knowone should expect a gourmet meal at 430 in the morning from anyone. The coffee was hot and the creamer was cold so I was happy! Lunch and dinner was on point every day with plenty there for seconds or thirds! At this point we are trying to make things work with our schedules so we can come back in early season. In my honest opinion if you're looking to pay for a hunt just for the "kill" look elsewhere. But if you want a hunt where you're going to make more friends with likeminded people, be treated like family and have people work their tails off to get you a trophy then give these guys a call you won't be disappointed!"

"Had an awesome time saw animals every time in the stand staff was very friendly and helpful food was very good. And the lodge was clean and easy to relax in I want to return."

"Me and my son had a very good hunt starting with Kevin accommodations, to Mrs. Darlene and her great personality to great lodge she had ready for us and great meals every time we came back from hunting, Clint with the drone was awesome just watching him fly it to find the shot animals, to Cooper And Tristan with setting everyone up in the stands and driving us out, great work y'all and happy holidays."

"This place is great. The whole hunting experience was top notch from the lodge to the stand. I saw many amazing wildlife each time I hunted. The deer herd was impressive as was the turkey that I watched while hunting. Several wild hogs were killed during each weekend. The food prepared for you each day was delicious and always served hot. Each employee strived to insure your experience me your expectations. I have already secured several more hunts with this outfit. Again, a top notch experience."

"This fall i was able to take my son here for a deer hunt. It's been one of the best weeks of my life. Clinton is an exceptional guide who works hard to give everyone the best chance to see a mature buck. I loved this guy! Darlene prepared some really great food and desserts for us. She works so hard to keep everyone fed amazing meals and she genuinely cares about the folks there. I'm really happy my son and I have been able so share a little piece of this heaven. I will never forget the memories we've made there. And I definitely can't wait till next year. So Kevin, Darlene, Clint and cooper......I can't wait to see you all again!"

"The lodge was very clean and spacious; adequate amount of bedrooms and bathrooms and in a quiet surrounding. Darlene always had lunch & dinner ready and even provided a small breakfast. Our guide, Tristan, was friendly and helpful. Clint, the guide leader, was very knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed our stay at ORL and plan on another trip."

"If you're looking for a great hunting experience with some very nice folks this is the place to go! The hunting stands were very nice and positioned in great locations. A young man named Tristen was our guide and he was excellent, be sure to request him for your hunt!"

"Went to this lodge for my first hunt ever, had the time of my life. Great accommodation!"

"I cannot express how great my experience at Oconee River Lodge was!! My family visited for opening weekend for black powder and boy did we have a blast!! Not only did I manage to get a heck of a buck, but I had a great time with friends and family! They put in their best efforts to make sure you are leaving there with everything you could have hoped! Can't wait to go back out there this season!"

"Once in a lifetime experience! Kevin and his team of guides are the best around if you're looking for an awesome hunt in Georgia! His team is very experienced with the areas and will accommodate you in every way possible. The lodging was superb! They make you feel at home and keep you well fed. I really enjoyed my time there and can not wait to hunt there years to come!"

"I have hunted with Oconee River Lodge for years. The lodge is very comfortable, food and service are great too. I've killed a couple nice bucks, hogs, and long beards. I will continue to hunt here in the future and bring family and friends."

"By far the best outfitter experience I've been on! The guides and owner go above and beyond the lodging is clean and very updated and can't forget about Darlene's home cooked hot meals!! Definitely plan on going back next season. We couldn't thank them enough for an amazing trip down to GA."

"Had a great time on my hunt with these guys! Saw more game than I could shoot, unfortunately I suck at shooting and missed but the chances are there! My wife killed a nice buck! Food was spectacular and I will come back next year also with my family!"

"This place is hands down the best around, I shot a nice 10 point and killed a big hog! Guides were knowledgeable and professional. The food and lodging was great. I would recommend to anyone looking for an awesome free range hunt!"

"The best guided service around. Kevin Clint and everyone at Oconee River Lodge is awesome hard working and will do what ever they can to get you on hogs. The Lodge and amenities are great it fit our group of 11 hunters perfectly. Can't say enough good things about this place and the guys. Can't wait for our 2024 hunt!"

"Awesome time spent at this outfitter. Kevin's guides worked hard getting us on some hogs. The lodge was very clean and comfortable for our group of 11 hunters. We're scheduled to be back with them this coming season 2024!"

"This lodge is top notch. Our guide cooper, and the staff, went above and beyond for all of us but especially for a few of our older guys to make sure they had great opportunities at hogs. The food and hospitality by the staff was fantastic and made us feel like one of them. This is definitely a must for anyone thinking of going on a hog hunt!!"

"5 stars great hunting with great people. Clint and cooper went above and beyond with their well experienced guiding skills and accommodations. Will definitely be coming back for many years to come."

"I've been going here for the last 2 seasons,and both seasons I've gotten a very nice buck.the owner Kevin and guides treat you like family and genuinely want you to have success.they have 2 brand new lodges that I've stayed in and are top notch.I don't know how it could get any better to be honest.I've hunted up north,and I truely love going to Georgia more than i like going up there.plenty of deer and hogs.not to mention all the turkeys you see too.looking forward to spending next season with these guys.highly recommend"

"Kevin and his team run a great lodge. Been coming here for years and have had great success. His guides are knowledgeable, the lodge is cozy and the food is great!"

"I can guarantee you wont regret booking a trip to hunt with Kevin and his guides! I have been hunting here for going on 3 years and haven't had a single complaint yet! Clint and Kevin always try their best to get us on good mature bucks with weather permitting, and Darlene always keeps a good hot meal on the table!"

"If I could give ORL 10 stars i would. I have hunted here twice and have been successful both times. From the time I arrive until when I leave Kevin and his staff make everybody feel welcomed and at home. My guide Clint went above and beyond to make sure i had the best possible chance to harvest a nice buck also. This past year I killed the biggest buck of my life here and cannot wait to go back!"

"Awesome experience, knowledgeable guides. These guys do everything to put you on a big deer. Even had tracking dogs available to find my trophy!"

"I Had a great time hunting with my boys, Kevin built a Beautiful lodge with plenty of room to kick back at the end of the day .The food was fantastic, Darlene had the most delicious meal waiting for us after each hunt.Cooper was our guide and he went above and beyond to put us on the deer. Everyone at the lodge treats you like family, I'm definitely booking another hunt !!"

"Had a great time. The lodge and people were great. We hunted late season but I was able to bag my first hog. The accommodations were great, along with the food, don't believe the other reviews about the food. If you want Ruth's Chris then spend the money, none of us come back and cook a 5 course meal after hunting. You will come back to a good hot cooked meal after every hunt, what else can you ask for. My old man and I had a great time. I will be back next year!"

"Booked a hunt with Oconee Lodge and had a wonderful time with my son. Put one in the books and overall had a great experience. The bucks were definitely walking while we were there. Thanks again for a wonderful moment and a memory we will never forget."

"We have had multiple trips with Kevin at Oconee River Lodge. It feels like we have been together for years. We have been treated like kings and the guides are really trying their hardest to put you on a good buck. Stands are awsome. Feels like we are hunting with family."

"Unreal experience. Great people, BIG deer, great food, overall perfect whitetail experience! Highly recommend!"

"Had a great hunt! Kevin and the staff were very accommodating. Definitely recommend these guys, they know what they're doing. Look forward to hunting with them next year."

"Our group hunted with Kevin in the past and decided to do it again a couple of weeks ago. Loved every minute of it! We have already committed to come back next year. Kevin and his team are some of the best people you will ever meet. Saw alot of deer. We did get a nice buck . Awesome accomodations. CAN'T wait!! till next year!! George M."

"I spent several days at the Oconee River Lodge a couple of weeks ago. I saw a ton of deer. It was opening weekend for muzzle loading season so the shooting distance was limited (at least for my muzzle loader). I saw several nice bucks and had it been rifle season I would have had a trophy on the wall. Kevin and Clint are awesome guys - Brandi too ! Food and accommodations were OUTSTANDING. Darlene will make sure you get plenty to eat. Great Southern cooking. Desserts are always awesome if u can hold it. They'll quarter up your game for a very reasonable price too. I have hunted with these guys before in S.C. I sent 36 hunters one year. 6 groups of six. A great group of guys (and gal's) that bust their butts so you can have a great experience. Go see them"

"I recently spent a week at the lodge, 10/2-10/6 hunting 10/3-10/5. The lodge it self was nice. I can tell that there has been recent renovations. I was comfortable there. The meals provided were good. Brandi even made a bag lunch for me since I chose to stay in the stand all day instead of coming in for lunch. She didn't have to do that but was happy to do so. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a buck this time but there are plenty out there. I did see, what turned out to be shooters, just after dark. It was pretty warm during my trip so I think the deer were laying up until dark. Kevin actually gave me an extra day since he had an opening. I appreciated their hospitality and will be back in the future. I had a good time. Thanks."

"The lodge was outstanding!! Kevin will make every attempt to ensure you leave a successful Hunter!!! Darlene is very friendly, And a very great cook !!! Always showing the Southern hospitality!! Clint and Cooper never stop moving to make sure your hunt is successful also!! And now I personally would like to give A Big shout out to Dalton, who personally made it his goal to show my grandson Chase the best time possible!!! From bagging his first hog , to fishing and frogging !!!! For this little guy only being 11 , Kevin's son He will be the best guide in the near future in my eyes he's already there!! So in conclusion I would like to say, A very big and heartfelt Thank YOU to all Y'all at the Oconee lodge, for the best time of our lives !!! Sincerely Robert Aiden Chase !!!! We'll be back!!!!"

"Great outfitters! Great food! Highly recommended!"

"The best hunting experience you will ever have. Been coming here for 2 years and have shot a buck both years. Kevin and his guides are extremely friendly and make sure you have a memorable experience. The food has always been spot on and I am booked up for next season."

"Facilities were clean and comfortable. Guides Cooper and Clint tried to put you on hogs every night. Bait sights were fresh and active. Truly, a hog hunting experience."

"Good time. Damon, Clint and Kevin were great guides. Made the experience fun and interesting. Darlene was an excellent chef and every meal was better than I could expect. This was my second year at the ORL. I had a great time both years, and already signed up for next year. Thank you."

"We had a great time at Oconee River lodge hog hunting. First two nights were a bit slow but we each got one the last night. Damion the guide did a great job an the lodge was setup nice. Looking forward to coming back."

"Always have a Great time at Oconee River Lodge. The facilities are always well kept. Kevin and his guides, Damon and Clint, go out of their way to assure the best hunt and all around experience possible. Darlene keeps you well fed with hot meals…I've been coming here for a few years and I'm already booked for next year. My guys and I are already counting the days till our next adventure."

"Had a great time, even though i didn't get a hog. Accommodations were really nice, clean and relaxing before and after the hunts. Kevin, Damon and Clint are top notch, Darlene made delicious meals for us and even stayed late the one night we were out late hunting. Above and beyond there IMO. Stands were great, plenty of feed out I can't wait to come back next year and do it again. Thanks for a great hunt ORL!"

"Loved hunting here this year."

"Just returned home from my first of what will be many trips to Oconee River Lodge. My trip was from 1/12/23 to 1/15/23. The accommodations at the lodge are awesome! Darlene is an exceptional host, an awesome cook and a great conversationalist. The food was always hot, ready and plentiful after returning from morning and evening hunts (Axis deer sausage dogs were amazing). There were plenty of snacks to choose from too. Guides Clint and Damon's work ethic and experience are second to none. They went above and beyond to put me on hogs and made me feel right at home. They are very passionate about what they do and it really shows. Hunting on the many thousands of acres they have was a real treat. Stands, feeders and food plots were on point. It was really nice to meet good genuine down to earth hard working folks that actually take pride in what they do and make you truly feel like family. Top notch operation and I Cannot wait to go back!!!"

"I have been hunting with Kevin for 10 years prior in South Carolina and this is my 2nd year hunting with him at his camp in Georgia. Every year has been exceptional, food has been great, lodges are just as they seem on the website, and the hospitality from the day you arrive to the day you leave is always amazing. Since Kevin has opened his own guide service I have harvested 2 - 130 class bucks. I have always been impressed with the guide and the game. Highly recommend Kevin!"

"My 15 yr old son and I hunted with Kevin and his staff this season. We had some great sits where we saw deer at ever sit. We did not harvest a buck as our family rule is to shoot one bigger than you did last year but that is hunting. We did see deer at every sit and that is more than I could ask for. By the looks of things, Kevin is putting money into the lodge and stands. Everyone was nice and a little funny too but I guess that's what happens when us northerners come down south. We will definitely come back. Kevin thank you for the laughs and great sits. See you next season."

"Had a pretty good time hog hunting with Oconee River Lodge. The facilities are good and the food was excellent. The cook is a very gracious host and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. The hunting was a little slow. Our guides put us over feeders during the day. The food plots were in excellent shape. The stands we used were approximately 4 x 4 and were clean and well constructed. We did see a ton of deer. I saw 17 in a food plot an hour before sunset with some good shooters. It seemed like the hogs were mostly nocturnal while we were there. We switched up hunting strategies our last day to night hunting. So only 2 of the 4 of my group got a boar. All and all for a first trip out definitely got a good lay of the land. The only negative I'd say was after none of us saw any the first day we should have started hunting that night after dark. This was a positive experience and I will be going back."

"Great experience. Great hospitality and food. Seen some good deer!"

"Hunted with Kevin for as long as I can remember. Hospitality is great, food is off the charts, and the lodging is very comfortable. These guys go out of their way to help you harvest an animal and I have a bunch hanging on my walls from their place. Do yourself a favor and just book the hunt you won't be disappointed."

"Had a great time the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, accommodations were top notch and food was great, Damon my guide has guaranteed my willingness to return every year"
