Skidaway Island State Park Campground

Spent a cold week and a half here in January escaping storm Fern. Nice level spots with electrical and water hookups. Cell service (Verizon and AT&T) were decent enough to watch TV and for me to work with multiple video meetings. Trails are nice if you like to see swamps and estuaries. Some very pretty birds and you can hear the owls talking to each other at night. Bathrooms were warm and clean. Good laundry machines too. Cycling around here is not great. Very flat hardly any bike lanes and lots of straight roads.

The people here are nice. Perhaps it’s the southern hospitality or just the type of person who works in a state park. The campgrounds are well maintained. Sites are level for the most part. Showers are pretty good with hot water and the laundry machines look newer. Leave it better than you found it.

Very well maintained campground with a nice walking trail. We stayed here for two nights and it was very nice.

Pros:

SO CLEAN!! The workers here are friendly and work hard to keep everything nice and clean.

The laundry here takes cards/tap and app pay which was great.

Sites are really large, spaced out and private.

Lots of hiking trails right at the campground and two large playgrounds for kids.

Close to shopping for food, restaurants etc.

The whole campground is just very peaceful, quiet and serene. It is also beautiful with all the Spanish moss.

Cons: Gate locks at 10 pm which really is not enough time if you want a night downtown.

It was pretty muddy…people were getting mud all over because of the snow. Not their fault but a hard rain would do the same. Poor drainage.

This campground is a lovely place to visit. It’s absolutely beautiful, it’s close to Savannah, and it is a great value.

I stayed in a back in site in camping area 2. I would call it big rig challenging w/the narrow road and tight-ish back in. I enjoyed the trails & observation tower as well as the cute little shop where you check in. My friend joined me over the weekend & her kids really liked the All About Bats presentation & the playground. Lots of deer & other wildlife to be seen. Shaded sites & mine was full hookup. Pet friendly & the laundry facility takes credit cards. They ended up renting a yurt which was cool. There are also cabins but we didn’t see those.

Very well established with a lot of amenities and nice hiking trails. I thought $50 for tent camping was a bit too pricy though.

Easy to reserve online! Water and electric hookups. Arrived after hours, and an info packet was waiting for us. Only stayed the weekend for cheer competition at the Savannah Convention Center, approximately 30 minutes away. Unfortunately the rain was full on while we were there, our site got a bit muddy. Friday evening was nice, and we were able to make s’mores, with the fire ring that was at the site, also a picnic table. And there is Lots of space between sites, great updated playground for the kids. The bathrooms are clean! Cute on site info center….Lots of nature! Many stores and quaint restaurants near the campground. Would recommend and we would reserve here again!

Stayed at Site 77 for 2 full weeks.

25 minutes to the historic district of Savannah, GA, 40 minutes to Tybee Island beach and about 1hr15min to Hilton Head Island.

AT&T service = 1-2 bars Verizon service = 3 bars

WiFi is available ONLY in Visitors Center.

The bathhouses were always very clean and we were able to walk the trails several times while here.

This is a great and affordable way to stay near Savannah in an awesome GA State Park

Our only complaint is that the roads are very narrow, have many roots pushing up the pavement, and the roads are barely wide enough for a truck/camper let alone the fact that they are NOT one way roads.

This is a beautiful state park close to Savannah. The sites are sufficient. The bathrooms are clean…The store is wonderful… The natural setting speaks for itself!

This campground is beautiful, with clean facilities and hiking trails within walking distance to campground. We spent one night and loved to experience the park on top of exploring Savannah which is a 20 minute drive. We would definitely return!

Hit the trails!

We have stayed here multiple times when visiting Savannah. Still one of our favorite state parks. Big campsites, clean, quite. The new visitor center is really nice.

This place is awesome Clean large bathrooms with hot and cold shower Has laundry facilities Most sites are dirt but few paved No sewer at sites but dump station at park easy to access Water and electric at sites Several hiking trails Beautiful park office with gift shop with restrooms here also Deck chairs in back if you want to sit and firepit if you want to use Sites have fire pits also

Our stay was so wonderful! Relaxing under tall trees covered with moss. So humid! No pool to cool off! I was scared by a raccoon. It tried to steal our dinner in a cup. Saw a deer walking around. So close to Savannah downtown for us to tour around there.

Quiet campground with great hosts and a relaxed feel. The best part is proximity to great places like Oatland Wildlife center.

Beautiful, pull thrus,

This is a spacious campground with plenty of room between sites and clean facilities. If you go in the warmer months, be sure to bring bug spray!

We stayed at #66 for 4 days. The sites are all huge and spaced well apart. All have water and electricity. The park maintenance is excellent. The showers have plenty of hot water and are very clean. The best part is how beautiful it is. It’s shaded with Spanish moss draped large trees. The location can’t be beat. The staff in the office/store are exceptionally helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

This is an absolutely beautiful state park in the Savannah area. It is well shaded. It is also gated which is a nice touch and added security. The great shaded spaces with gorgeous trees leads to little to no cell service. No chance of getting satellite either. 

It is close to Savannah (about 20 minutes). Where you can have some of the best food in the south and a great time. 

The park can get very busy however.

This state Park keeps a very nice huge campground. It is well maintained. Our site was next to a new bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and restrooms. The sites are very spacious with a tent pads, picnics tables and a fire ring. They have full service sites and water/electric sites as well as tent sites. Dump station available as well. A very quiet and dark campground 25 minutes to Savannah, 30 minutes to Tybee Island.

Enjoyed this campground! Decent amount of shade at each site, the Spanish moss covered trees are beautiful!! Also saw lots of wildlife including deer around the park. Showers and bathrooms were in great shape and always kept very clean!

Trails: we hiked the sandpiper trail and avion loop trail during the day (be aware these trails have minimal shade and can be rough in the hot sun) but they were short so it wasn’t too bad. In the evening we took our mountain bikes around the Big Ferry Trail Loop- the observation tower around sunset is a must see! (See pics)

Great campground. Nice clean shower houses and bathrooms. Very spacious sites.

If you value a beautiful forested setting with tons of shade, huge camp sites, and with most hookups (electrical and water) this place is you. Proximity to Savannah historic center is the cherry on top. Oh bike rentals, trails and easy dump station.

The staff was very friendly. Our site was beautiful. The campground is what a campground should be. Lots of trees & some wildlife. It is very clean & quiet.

The campground is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the sites are level and spacious. I prefer the sites on the outer ring as they offer the most privacy. The sites have plenty of room between them and many have natural boundaries. We couldn't see our neighbors. Most of the sites are pull through for RVs and have a tent pad, table and fire ring. It's also only ten minutes from historic Savannah. There is also a convenient shopping center just outside the campground. We will be going back.

Campground 1, site 12- pull through, level, very private, lots of shade.

Great hiking and biking trails.

Large sites, lots of trees, nice bathrooms and a pretty place for a bike ride. It was full but really quiet when we visited.

Skidaway Island SP is quite possibly the nicest state park camping facility we’ve yet to visit! The sites are beyond spacious and afford plenty of privacy - and the hookups were conveniently situated at both sites we utilized during our visit. Huge, level tent pads for tent camping are also provided, as are picnic tables and fire rings. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and in excellent repair. The brand-new visitors center is beautiful and staff were courteous & professional to a person! Bird life is abundant and we had deer show up every day to check on us. Hiking trails are outstanding and the picnic/playground areas are fantastic. Skidaway Island SP is a gem with the added bonus of being just a 15 minute drive to downtown Savannah - we will undoubtedly be returning!

Loved this place.  Got lucky and someone canceled and they were able to get me in for 3 days.  Camp site #56, which had a fantastic view with a little water pool too. Had a little winged visitor each morning eating in to water while I was having breakfast.  Quiet and people out walking around and biking the loop,  Just felt right to be there.  Staff at the park were very polite and the camp host were more than happy to ask if I needed anything.

Will definitely will book this place for a longer visit next year.
