Welcome to Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park


Conveniently located near I-75 in middle Georgia, Indian Springs is one of the oldest state parks in the United States and a popular spot for outdoor recreation.

Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park is available for reservations. The name is derived from the majestic house on the property that serves as the park office and visitor center; and is on the National Historic Register. With another nod to past, the individual rooms in the center are even named after the historic hotels that once thrived in the village of Indian Springs. Idlewilde has 20,000 square feet of event space including a massive lake side porch with beautiful views of the water. With a capacity of 500 people, Idlewilde can accommodate a variety of events, from birthday parties and family reunions, to weddings and corporate retreats. Additional features include a catering kitchen and audio visual capabilities in every room.

Can I still redeem any membership card purchased prior to January 1, 2019?

Definitely! Simply email a photo of your purchased club card with your name, address, and t-shirt size to parksRfun@dnr.ga.gov and we’ll send you your shirt.

If I have the old membership (Prior to January 1, 2019) do I have to complete the new challenge or can I complete the old list that I originally began?

You many continue your original club challenge rather than begin all over again. There is no need to do additional challenges.

Can I purchase club memberships at any park?

No, you many not. Club memberships are only available for online purchase at GaStateParks.org/ParkClubs.

Once I receive my t-shirt, can I exchange the size?

We prefer exchanges be made only in extenuating circumstances to prevent additional shipping costs. Feel free to email us at parksRfun@dnr.ga.gov if necessary.

Can I purchase multiple memberships without having to register an additional person?

Yes, you can! Our online cart system has been updated to allow for multiple membership purchases.

Do you have youth sizes?

No, not at this time. We have adult sizes only. Sizes are Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, and 2XL

Do the shirt sizes run small or large?

The shirt is a moisture-wicking cotton/poly blend and they run true-to-size. Blend and sizes are unisex.

Do I need my new checklist punched or marked off by a park employee?

No, you do not. You may simply keep track on your own. If you’d like to have your challenge acknowledged by the park visitor center, our folks would be glad to congratulate you, but it is not required or necessary.
