The gate will NOT be locked, just drive in the gate and follow the sign back to the Pioneer campground area. If you are coming towards the park from the East (Alma, Nicholls GA) the main park entrance is the SECOND entrance on the right.
If you choose to camp you can do so Free of charge at the Pioneer camp area. There is a bathroom and running water. There are also private campsites in the park available as well (see link below for Park info).
