PrintThe Community of Camilla
Camilla and Mitchell County, a progressive community located in southwest Georgia, has long been known as a place where things just grow better. Many industries, including agriculture, have thrived. We offer quick access to I-75 and I-10. GA/Florida RailNet runs parallel to US Hwy. 19, and connects to CSX and Norfolk Southern providing a convenient way for industry to transport their products and materials.
Visitors enjoy a variety of activities ranging from the South's best quail hunting to the world's finest Pro-Am Tennis Tournament and many festivals. Our community is made of friendly people who appreciate the amenities of a growing community while savoring the relaxed atmosphere of a small town.
