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.

Amazing park

The sites here are some of the best we’ve had. Spacious, private and clean. Great cell service. Super clean bathrooms. Close to a Publix. 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). This park has a ton of sites but you’d never feel you are in a huge park. We already booked another stay.

Great state park!

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. The tree covered site may pose a tad of a challenge for those using only solar but it’s worth it. The comfort station was very clean.

Holiday Pitstop

Stayed here for a couple of days along the way to family; great spot! Easily picked up trails from the campsite, shower/bathrooms were great, staff was very friendly, and only 25 mins to downtown Savannah!

We were newer to RVing, so it took a little bit to level the RV on the same and tree roots. But honestly, it was well worth the privacy and nature.

Beautiful campground facilities

We originally booked this park for 1 night as a stop back from Northern GA to Tampa. We wished we were able to stay longer! The visitor center is brand new. They offer tons of activities throughout the month. The campsite was large & under huge trees. We liked how secluded it felt even with Other sites around us. The bathrooms were clean too. We ended up going to Savannah for the day to explore but at end of night we had wished we just stayed at the site. I definitely will go back.

Great State Park Camping in Coastal GA!

A great state park campground between Savannah and Tybee. We car camped with a tent, site was nice and level on sand. Big trees with Spanish moss all around. The bathrooms were big and clean. The park itself is well kept, with great kayaking. Very convenient to Savannah and Tybee both. We also went to Ft. Pulaski during our visit, and it was great. Highly recommend this campground when in Savannah!

I would definitely recommend this place! Everyone here is so nice. We weren’t going to make it in time to check in, so we called ahead and the girl on the phone helped us out and told us they would leave our registration on the window at the visitor center. The camp host was so helpful and nice! The bath house was clean, trails were so quite and beautiful and we were not to far from anything (downtown, beach, super market). Would definitely come back!!

Skidaway Getaway

We booked site 61 at Skidaway Island State Park for our first trip to Savannah. It was a convenient location for experiencing the low country.

We called ahead because we knew we’d arrive after hours. The staff was helpful and completed the check in process over the phone. She hung out tag at our site and left our map taped to the Visitor Center for our convenience. Our site was a little difficult to find (we had to make the loop a second time before finding it). The main road through the campground is two-lane, but the other roads are very narrow with vehicles driving in both directions. Fortunately, we didn’t encounter another rig on the narrow road of campground #4.

We loved the seclusion our site provided. We had a little trouble getting level with all of the roots but managed to get it done before rain set in for the evening. After touring the campground, we agreed that site 61 was our favorite because of the privacy and large yard space (both worth forgoing a sewer connection in our opinions).

Our primary reason for selecting this campground was its proximity to Savannah. It was a great hub for the activities we did throughout the week, but we also got to explore the park itself. The new visitor/interpretation center is beautiful! The trails behind it are very accessible and diverse. We saw lots of wildlife including deer, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and crabs. We also enjoyed the Big Ferry Trail, a three-mile loop with various historical sites along the trail. This was also a very easy trail to hike. This is a great campground for bicycles. The playground was nice and located near the visitor center (away from the campground). Although we didn’t use the bathhouses or laundry facilities, they were all very clean and well appointed.

Anyone wanting to visit Savannah would find this a lovely, convenient location! We highly recommend this beautiful state park.

Great spot to enjoy the beauty of coastal Georgia

Skidaway Island State Park is a terrific spot conveniently located on the Diamond Causeway outside Savannah. We stayed here for 3 nights and found something fun and different to do each day of our stay. Whether you’re looking to do some hiking, biking, or kayaking on the intercostal, Skidaway has got you covered.

We stayed in site 25 which offered 2 water spigots and 20/30/50 amp electric. The site was level with a fire ring, tent pad and large picnic table. The main road getting in to the campground is 2 lanes wide, but the lanes that go through each loop are somewhat narrow. The dump station is a bit odd, located in the middle of the campground. If you’re staying in one of the loops closest to the entrance, you’ll need to circle all the way around to the back of the campground to access it.

The park office is very nice and offers a variety of merchandise and some basic camping supplies including fire starters and bundles of wood. There was also some RV supplies like AquaKem and dump hoses which would come in handy if you needed something in a pinch. You can also rent cruiser bikes here for $6/hour. We enjoyed riding around the park and on the Big Ferry Trail.

Good place to veg out

Our group stayed in pull throughs #84-85 & #86 with lots of room around us. 84& 85 were extremely private. Great roads for our ebikes around the campsites, but not great on the roots along the Big Ferry Trail. Tough going, but made it to the end and found the still, shell ring and old remains of an earthen works.

Excellent stay for visiting Savannah

This park has a lot going for it.  There are some full hookup sites that fill up quick.  Our site was a very nice pull through, 30/20 amp electric and water. Plenty of room with a fire ring and picnic table.  The roads are rather narrow, but can be navigated with a bit of patience and care. The bath/shower near our site was very well kept.  The entire park was well maintained and staff was very courteous and helpful.  We didn't take advantage of the hiking/biking trails but I saw many folks that were.  Definitely a thumbs up for this one.

We absolutely loved Skidaway Island State Park. The campsites are spacious, bathhouses clean, and the trails are kept very manicured. It’s a small state park but the perfect size to tuck away for a week. There’s also a Publix that’s easily in bike riding distance just outside the gate of the park to pick up groceries.

You can’t see them but can hear them! We loved our site, so private and large, but the noise drowned out the birds and disturbed our nature time. Too bad.

Great Base to Explore Savannah

We followed the road into the park until we got to where it stated campground to the right and registration to the left. There was a drive through slot to the side of the visitors center that we could have pulled into to register but we parked in one of the large parking lots in front. There’s a road at the far end of the large parking lots to get back to the campground. After registering, which included a parking pass fee, we headed to site 56 with water and 30 AMP, which we had reserved on line. However, this was our first time here and we found out the road to Camping Area 4 to get to back-in site 56 was quite narrow. We have a 39’ 5th wheel and I would not recommend anything larger driving into this part of the campground due to trees and tight turns. For larger rigs, recommend areas 1 and 3. We were actually able to pull thru into site 56 then backed up to get situated. We had to use our leveler blocks on the door side to get level. Once settled, this was a great campsite and one of the largest and most private in the CG. You cannot see campsites on either side of this site as they are farther down the road and there are trees and plant cover. There are campsites right across the road but with the position of our rig and F450 we could hardly see those sites. This is a beautiful campground with a forest feel and nice trails. For the amount of campers during our four nights stay, it was peaceful and quiet. Not that you need them, but there was a nice variety of OTA channels. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There was a lot of tree cover in the CG so satellite would be iffy. There were a variety of sites in all four areas that included pull thru, FHUs, and 50 AMP. There seemed to be no real rhyme or reason throughout the CG as to which sites are FHUs, 30 AMP, 50 AMP or pull thru. There were 3 shower houses with a laundry room on each. If eligible, be sure to ask for military discount on the parking pass fee. Our nightly rate was based on a senior discount(62 and older). The visitors center had a very nice gift shop and also sold firewood. We had a great experience and would definitely return.

Pleasant State Park

Stayed 3 nights in mid-March. Very convenient to Savannah as well as SC border. Plenty of shopping and stores (Target, Lowe’s etc) within 15 minutes. Three clean and well stocked bathhouses with hot hot showers and laundry in each. Very quiet campground while we were there during the week.

Pros... Beautiful natural surroundings Several nature trails with historic markers 2 dump stations Central trash (no recycling) All sites are large, some are MASSIVE

Cons... Our site could use a good cleaning, bits of trash scattered around and needs gravel refresh.

Booking site advertised cable but none at our site (perhaps the premium FHU pull throughs did?)

Hookups for back in sites are very close to the road so be mindful that you might need extended cords if you want to get further into the area.

We love to support the State Parks so happily paid the $45 a night.

We enjoyed taking out 30ft trailer to this campground. Facilities were clean and simple but did the job. The camping spots are spaced nicely so you can say hello to the neighbors but also have your own space. Very dog friendly. The hiking trails nearby are lovely(wear your boots if it’s been raining!).
