Description

State Park

As part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, Skidaway Island State Park is nearly 600 acres of maritime forest, tidal creeks, and salt marshes nestled between the Skidaway River and the housing developments of The Landing. The park’s main draw is its lush coastal woods of live oaks, red cedars, and pines dripping with Spanish moss, which, in turn, is home for a variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and a variety of shorebirds. Many of the park’s flora and fauna can be seen on a network of 6 miles of walking trails and boardwalks. Some trails are ADA accessible, and some are also open to cyclists. For your best chance at spying a resident alligator, go for a stroll on the 2-mile Big Ferry Trail. Visitors to Skidaway Island State Park, just a 10-mile drive southeast of Savannah, have access to nearly 90 tent and RV campsites, in addition to 3 camper cabins and 3 group campsites. All sites offer electrical hookups, and some are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include restrooms with showers, bike rentals, picnic areas, two playgrounds, laundry facilities, and an interpretive center. There is also an amphitheater that hosts seasonal interpretive programs. A hiking trail from the campground leads to an observation tower that overlooks the Skidaway Narrows, where you can scan for egrets and osprey. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins swimming up the waterway. Campsite rates range from $40–$49/night; cabins range from $42–$140/night.

Lots of options

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.

Great Georgia State Park!

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!

Narrow Roads, Big Sites

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.

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.

Beautiful State Park that is removed from the city

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.

Fantastic camping closer to Savannah

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.

Great campground!

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, Great location

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.

Simply wonderful !

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!

What a Blessing

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.

1st Road-trip!

It was our first camping trip/road trip, we had a roof top tent on top of our suv and skidaway island state park was our first stop! We checked in at the office, which had a beautiful gift shop and many supplies incase you had forgotten any. We were greeted by wonderful staff members and a park ranger. Parking is $5, they were currently out of firewood but thankfully Publix is not far. We made reservations for one night for a tent site which was not a far walk to the restrooms and shower facilities. Our site was very spacious and private and it was a pull through which was wonderful for our rooftop tent. The park is very clean and a absolutely beautiful place to stay, we decided to stay for night #2. The facilities, the sites, the roads were perfect! Also, sites came with running water, electric, fire pit and picnic table.Watch for the big raccoons and don’t leave your trash out at night because those bandits will come!

One of our favorites

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. We had a pull through site with full hookups. The sites are well spaced with trees in between most sites. There are 4-5 miles of trails in the park that are close to the campground. We had 1-2 bars of Verizon and 2-3 bars of AT&T. We got quite a few OTA channels that came in really good. The dump station was across from our site, but it wasn't too bad. I'd definitely stay here again. Some roads were a little narrow and tight to navigate with trees. The only issue we had is they turned off the water without notice one of the days we were there and it was off for over an hour. We camped at Skidaway Island State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Excellent State Park and campground

We camped here for 4 nights with our dogs in a tent. We stayed in campsite 52 which was very roomy and private. It was surrounded by palms, pines, and oaks. Electricity and a water spigot was available. You can also stay in one of the three cabins or do pioneer camping in little shelters along the trail. 

The bathhouse was pristine. The volunteers are doing such a fantastic job to keep it clean. The showers were nice and hot and had a good water pressure. 

The visitor center is a 5 to 10 min walk from the campground. It is brand new. It has a well stocked gift shop and a small but very nice native species exhibition. The highlight is a 20 foot tall skeleton of a giant sloth. Perfect for pictures with friends or family. 

The park also offers 6 miles of hiking trails. You meander through marsh land and in the forest. I'm sure when it's warmer you can see more wildlife like reptiles and birds. If you forgot something, there is a Publix about 5 min away. It is also a 20 min ride to downtown Savannah. If you want an excellent meal and service… visit the Olde Pink House. 

We would definitely camp here again but probably not in the hot summer month.

Lots of hiking (walking really), biking etc. An easy drive to Savannah. We were here for Halloween and it was very cute (be aware that the park hosts trick or treat for local kids, so bring your candy if you are in the sites close to the office).

We could only get one night but it was still a treat to stay. The sites are separated giving your privacy from your neighbor. Power was stable and water had sufficient pressure.
