Camp among moss-covered oak trees very near to the Interstate (I95)
We enjoyed staying here 7 days, Nov. 19-25, 2021. Description Highlights:
- Full service gravel sites (ours was pull-through as were many others). Each site had a picnic table, a tire-rim for a fire pit, and electric-water-and sewer hookups.-
- Free WiFi with strong signal. There were 2 router polls, including one near the entrance. The signal was strong enough to support streaming on a Roku device.
- Pretty grounds with many oak trees that had Spanish moss hanging from the limbs. Nice for a morning walk.
- Pets are welcome. It seems like everyone had a dog as I would see them walking the dogs but the place remained quiet and barking was not heard.
- There is a small pond. We didn’t fish but I think that fishing is allowed.
- Close to gas, restaurants, stores and attractions. The campground is at exit #1 on I-95 just mile North of the GA/FL State line. Exit 3 (two miles north) is where you can find many restaurants (Cracker B., IHOP, etc.) plus supplies (Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Dollar Tree).
- Good Sam discount (10%) is offered at the campground plus there is a Pilot/flying J at the same exit (#1) that gives a Good Sam discount on Gas. I got 5 cents per gallon off plus I noticed that the Pilot gas price was at least 15 cents less than the cost of gas at neighboring stations.
- Laundry on site
- Many local (from Jacksonville) TV stations could easily be picked up OTA with out even raising the campers TV antenna. Many radio stations also available NPR is at 88.9 FM and there was a station playing all Christmas music- 96.1 FM.
- Recommended nearby non-fast food restaurants include Steffens Restaurant was delicious homemade style food (since the 1940’s). Great breakfast (recommend the biscuits and gravy-with large chunks of sausage) and dinner (recommend the fried whole catfish). Steffens Restaurant is about 3 miles from the campground - turn left onto Scrubby Bluff rd (away from the Interstate) when exiting the campground and go 2 miles; then, turn right onto Hwy 17 and go about a mile or so - the restaurant will be on your left.
We also really enjoyed seafood at St Marys Seafood & More(Georgia) 1837 Osborne Rd, St Marys, GA 31558. They had great shrimp and special homemade sides (such as four-bean baked beans and butter beans with smoky ham). If you want to drive about 30 miles to Brunswick Georgia for lunchtime, you can taste the BEST FRIES ON THE PLANET at Twin Oaks BBQ restaurant 2618 Norwich St, Brunswick, GA 31520. 11. Nearby Attractions: Cumberland Island (go to St. Marys and take the ferry- ) It has a beautiful pristine beach where wild horses roam. Jekyll Island has a lovely beach, fishing pier, nice restaurants, historic places/tours, and golf and put-put.
