Brickhill Bluff is the furthest north, primitive, wilderness campsite on the west side of the island. Non-potable water is the only amenity available at this campsite. Hiking the main road puts you approximately 10.5 miles from Sea Dock where the ferry drops you off. Taking the trails that parallel the main road may extend your hike further. Three main cost to account for are the park entry, the ferry, and the daily campsite fee.

Cumberland Island has plenty of things to see and explore like ruins, mansions, beautiful beaches, and wild horses. For those who don't have a lot of time to explore, there is a land and legacy tour offered for a fee (to be paid in advance). There is a higher concentration of mosquitos ticks, and other bugs during the warmer months, so be prepared.
