Best Campgrounds near Brunswick, GA

This is a nice State Park campground with about 50 sites. There are 2 pull through sites, and 2 full hook up sites. The rest are back in with water & electric. The sites are level b but there are done tight turns. Sites are also very close together, so very little privacy. There is a big lake with a swimming beach dispute signs everywhere warning of alligators! There is also a big picnic area with several shelters and. Playground, which includes some adult cardio equipment. The dog park is large, with two sections and grass. The showers and bathrooms are clean and modern. This is a convenient place for exploring Okefenokee Swamp. The private Swamp park is only 20 minutes away, and the National Wildlife Refuge is about an hour. Both offer boat tours of the swamp.

The camping area is very small, with sites close to each other and no privacy (flat area, tall pines without vegetation between sites). Having said that, it was pretty quiet; mostly used by retirees. It has a cute dog park, with areas for large and small pups. It has clean bathrooms and washer dryer that accepts apple pay. Park has a tiny beach for its tiny lake. Unfortunately, the very small lake is used by jet skiers and ski boats so very loud and no good for swimming, paddling or fishing except really early or late in the day. Two short trails are cute with tortoises. The bugs are enthusiastic so if you’re not ready to bathe in DEET, you will pay the price. Good park to spend the night on the way somewhere.

Following up on my review from over 3 years ago, I’m adding a bunch of additional photos as well as an abbreviated post pointing out the HIGHS and LOWS of this backwoods hidden jewel of a campground.

Highs: (1) Lush wilderness surroundings giving very good privacy between sites; (2) RV slots are nice and spacious, although some areas are not as level as others; (3) Easy to access 2 kayak / canoe / boat launch(es) makes getting into the Satilla River quick and simple; (4) Plenty of shade at all CG spots with tons of tree cover; (5) Nearby fresh-water lakes perfect for fishing; (6) Excellent peace & quiet – you’ll feel completely removed from civilization here; (7) Excellent FHUs; (8) Barely functional WiFi – yes, that’s a plus!; (9) Extremely hospitable Southern hospitality from the host (Ron) and camping community here; (10) Great launching pad for exploring either Jekyll or St. Simons Islands; (11) River house or cabins available to rent; (12) Excellent price for what you get creating great value

Lows: (1) The entrance and backwoods roadways are fairly bad with deep ruts in them and when rainy, incredibly muddy; (2) No on-site bathrooms or showers is a major bummer; (3) Mosquitos, gnats and midges during the summer; (4) Nearest place to stock up on supplies is nearly 10 minutes away and even at that, it’s just a Dollar General and Waverly Minit Mart – you’ll need about 25 minutes to access the Winn-Dixie; (5) No nearby restaurants, so you’ll have to hike it back to Route 82 where you can find Scott’s BBQ & Grill, Village Snack Bar or Smoke’s Bar& Grill; (6)$20 for a bundle of firewood seems pretty steep

Happy Camping!

As you’re heading either north or south up or down I-95, just a smidge north of the FL-GA state line, you’ll need to have your eyes peeled or GPS set in order to find Huck’s RV Park. Whether you are merely stopping here for an overnight lay-up or using this particular location to access the greater Kingsland and St. Marys area, Huck’s is a great spot for you to consider, especially given the price point, which seems incredibly fair given the location, amenities and local surroundings.

With regards to the campground itself, there’s really level grass spots throughout the park with concrete patios provided alongside each slip. The slots themselves are decent sized and while some areas feel a bit closer together than others, overall we felt like each site was fairly spacious all while being completely surrounded by a rather thick forested perimeter that blots out both traffic noise and visuals. The lot itself is about the entire size of a single football field with 2 lanes that dissect the otherwise open field with 4 angled back-in and 39 pull-through slots offering room for RVs from 40’ to 65’ lengths. The entire park features freshly poured asphalt driving paths, so despite being out in the woods, you’ll appreciate a bit of modern convenience.

From an amenities standpoint, Huck’s packs a decent punch with spectacularly clean – dare I say brand, spanking new – restroom and shower facilities located smack dab right in the middle of the RV park. You’ll also find a very nice recreation room complete with a dart board, juke box, widescreen TVs, ATM, WiFi, community library and billiards table as well as an on-site laundry room and even a small fenced doggie park for your K9 friends. Of course, there’s the standard FHUs complete with 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage. Very noteworthy is a makeshift pub and restaurant on-site offering drafts, canned & bottled beer as well as wine along with some light food fare such as wings and sandwiches. You’ll also discover a small market perfect for picking up any RV supplies.

Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) IMHO the best sites (#33-#43) are those located furthest north on the edge of the park’s perimeter, which will set you furthest away from the frontage road as well as the hustling & bustling highway you just escaped from; (2) If you need to load up on anything more substantial than what might be provided here, there’s a Dollar General Store, BP and Circle K truck stop just across the street from Huck’s, but for anything more substantial than this, you’ll need to head due south to Kingsland;  (3) Unlike most spots that sit a stone’s throw distance form I-95, nearby you’ll find a handful of local restaurants like Doo Dad’s, Bird Boxx, Karv Bistro, Steffans Diner and Bogey’s Bar & Grille for some very decent down-home Southern cooking; and (4) If you’re a tent camper, you won’t find a home here at Huck’s, but luckily, if you are looking for a spot, just a 20 minute drive east from here is Crooked River SP, which is arguably one of the best SPs in all of the Peach State!

Happy Camping!
