Jekyll Island Campground

Great place, but they know they are the only game in town.

This is a beautiful campground on a beautiful island. You will not be disappointed with your stay if you choose to visit the island and camp here. That said, many sites are packed into a rather cramped space. Some of this is due to the gorgeous, leaning trees that fill the campground so that must be considered.

Cons:

  • ridiculously overpriced camp store (chunk wood $8 a bag, 1lb propane $13!!!)
  • some fixture hookups for our site were literally on another site (we had to walk onto our neighbor’s site to access water and cable hookups) which leaves cables and hoses all over the place

-cable lines for sites are run above ground just lying on the ground. Looks tacky and is a sign of some general malaise at the campground -bathrooms are rough (countertops falling apart, fans covered with dust, soap dripping on and corroding electricity conduits, etc.) showing another lack of care

Pros: -location! Walkable to fishing pier, Driftwood Beach, historic sites, etc. but secluded nonetheless -natural beauty is stunning -extremely friendly and welcoming staff

Long story short- the rest of the island is immaculate, so this place feels “cheap” by extension. BUT you have to camp here as it is with every penny for the location alone.
