RV camping near Brunswick, Georgia provides visitors direct access to Georgia's barrier islands and coastal habitats. The area sits at low elevation, generally under 25 feet above sea level, creating a subtropical environment where Spanish moss drapes from oak trees throughout local campgrounds. Most RV sites remain open year-round with summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F and winter temperatures rarely dropping below freezing.
What to do
Beach exploration: 30 minutes to Jekyll Island. The proximity to coastal islands makes Brunswick campgrounds ideal for beach day trips. "We stayed at site 301, close to the restroom, since we were taking my 93 year old Dad with us. Walked down to the water and dock. They pick up your garbage everyday," shares Lauren W. from Coastal GA RV Resort.
Fishing opportunities: On-site at several parks. Many campgrounds feature fishing ponds or coastal access. "Lake side grassy sites, with plenty of room. Quaint with swimming and fishing. Lake side patios with fireplaces. Free fire wood for your campfires," notes Pat T. about Mcintosh Lake RV Park.
Wildlife viewing: Alligators present in ponds. Local water features often contain native wildlife. "Great pond adjacent to park (no swimming due to aligators) but lots of activity, fish, turtles, birds, etc," reports Berg B. when describing the natural amenities at Coastal GA RV Resort.
What campers like
Privacy landscaping: Natural barriers between sites. Several Brunswick area campgrounds incorporate vegetation for privacy. "All sites are pull thru's and paved. Restrooms/showers very clean. On sides of rv are bushes that give you privacy," explains Lauren W. about site layouts at Coastal GA RV Resort.
Free amenities: Unexpected perks. Some parks offer special extras not advertised. "Restrooms very clean. Nice showers. Doors locked and keyed with code. Ice machine (free!)," mentions Liz M. about Inland Harbor RV Park.

What you should know
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some parks. Many RV sites near Brunswick are situated close to major roadways. "Quiet, clean park. Sites aren't really big, but are separated by bushes, trees so provides some privacy...Close to stores, islands, restaurants," reports Liz M. about her experience at Coastal GA RV Resort.
Weather impacts: Seasonal rain creates muddy conditions. The coastal climate brings periodic heavy rainfall. "It had rained quite a bit for days, so it was nasty. Sites too close together for my taste. Not much shade," Karen notes about her stay at Walkabout Camp & RV Park.
Reservation requirements: Some parks offer contactless check-in. Self-service options exist at certain locations. "This was a nice small RV park, the grounds were well manicured. We had no contact check in and no contact with management at all during our entire stay. Upon arrival we grabbed our packet off the front porch and slipped our check into the door slot," explains Cynthia D. about A Big Wheel RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Recreation facilities: Pool and game areas available. Family-friendly amenities enhance stays with children. "This RV park is very easy on off from I-95. Extremely nice staff, efficient and organized. The spots are paved, clean and easy in and out," shares Berg B. about Coastal GA RV Resort's facilities.
Pet accommodations: Dedicated dog areas. Many Brunswick area RV parks welcome four-legged family members. "They are very pet friendly. We travel with a dog and they have a dog park. It's not big (for larger dogs) and it would be nicer with a different surface (stone or chips) as it had really muddy areas," advises Liz M. about pet facilities at Coastal GA RV Resort.
Space considerations: Site sizes vary considerably. Family setups require adequate room for equipment. "We needed a spot to stay on the beginning of our long travel. This RV park was really cute. We stayed at the buddy site and it was still enough room between our camper and my parents camper," shares Lorilee S. about Southern Retreat RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site surface quality: Concrete vs. grass sites. Surface types impact leveling and weather resilience. "The sites were nice and level; all of their sites are full hookup and pull through. At the time we stopped, all the sites were grass, but they were solid even though it rained most of the day," notes Gregory L. about Walkabout Camp & RV Park.
Easy access: Quick on/off from highways. Brunswick's RV parks offer convenient interstate proximity. "Easy on off from interstate. $40 full hookup. Small park. Bath house and laundry. Simple but perfect for overnight while getting to your destination. Gated entry," explains Sandy G. about Inland Harbor RV Park.
Winter visitor considerations: Monthly rates available. Snowbirds find extended stay options throughout the region. "This is a small privately owned Campground well kept. Clean laundry bathrooms great fire pit and pleasant staff. We had stopped here three or four times over the last year or so on our way through.
