Brickhill Bluff Wilderness Campsite — Cumberland Island National Seashore
Reviewed Jul. 3, 2017

Nice backcountry spot

Be sure to snag your your permit for this spot! We paddled from the mainland in St. Mary's to this spot on the island. If you time the tide right, you can ride the Crooked River out relatively quickly. Just be sure you've got a chart and not just a map!

This area is right on the water (the sound side, not the ocean side) so you can pull your boats right up on the shore. There are no designated sites, just a bit of a flat open area to set up camp. The raccoons are active and abundant here just as they are through out the rest of the island so be sure you have the ability (knowledge and gear) to store your food appropriately. There is a water pump ere that provides potable water.

There are several hiking trails that run through this campsite so if you've got time to do some exploring, this is a good jumping off point. Be aware that you are relatively close to a park boundary as well.
