RV camping near Cumberland Island National Seashore requires some planning, as most sites accommodate vehicles up to 45 feet on level concrete or gravel pads. The campgrounds in this area have various hookup options, with several providing full water, sewer, and electrical connections right at the pad.

The roads leading to these camping areas are well-maintained, with enough clearance for larger rigs. Each campground has specific rules about generator use, with set hours that keep the noise down while still letting you power up when needed. Many sites come with fire rings and picnic tables next to your parking spot, giving you a nice outdoor living area. It's smart to check length restrictions before you arrive since they differ between campgrounds. The RV sites in this region fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons, so many people book months ahead. These campgrounds put you within driving distance of local points of interest, making day trips convenient while keeping your RV parked at camp.

Stacey R.GuideCary State Forest Campground
Private site with thoughtful amenities
The six sites available are spread out in the Cary State Forest. You can see the tops of some RV’s but they’re not close. The site has a very nice picnic table, fire pit,benches around the fire pit, a free standing grill, water, electric and a concrete pad to park on with a tent site behind the pad. Grass is freshly cut and the site is clean!

John W.ScoutJacksonville North-St. Marys KOA
Not up to KOA standards
I have been a KOA member for more than 20 years and have generally had very good experiences. Unfortunately, this particular KOA was a major disappointment. My wife and I brought our two grandkids on an eight-day trip and specifically chose this campground because of several advertised amenities: a pool with a slide, a game room, and a DVD player in the deluxe cabin. We paid more than$900 for our stay. When I booked, the campground disclosed that it was undergoing water and sewer upgrades and warned guests to expect construction and possible“brief water/power interruptions.” That seemed reasonable, and I had no problem with it. Unfortunately, what we encountered went well beyond a brief interruption. The DVD player in our cabin did not work. I reported it to the office and was told the owner would be notified and someone would get back to me. No one ever did. We then received a text stating that the pool slide was not operating because of electrical upgrades. When we went to use the pool anyway, there was a considerable amount of debris that looked like dirt floating in the water, and the surface underneath the water was badly peeling. My grandkids didn't want to get in. We tried the game room next. It had no electricity, none of the games were operating, there was no air conditioning, and the room was extremely hot. At that point, we decided to leave and find a hotel that actually had the amenities we had expected. For a little over$100 per night, we found a very nice hotel and stayed there instead. We returned to the campground the following Saturday for our final night, and unfortunately, the same issues were still present. In the end, we used only three of the eight nights we paid for. I understand that construction and upgrades have to happen. What I don't think is reasonable is continuing to advertise amenities such as a pool slide and game room when they are going to be unavailable for an extended period, while still charging guests the full rate. A warning about possible“brief water/power interruptions” did not accurately describe what we experienced. After returning home, I contacted the KOA. I made it clear that I was not asking for a refund for the three nights we actually stayed there. Since one night was already planned for a hotel in Orlando, I simply requested a partial refund or other reasonable adjustment for the four unused nights after we left because the advertised amenities were unavailable or unusable. I even offered to provide our hotel receipts. I have received no response from the campground's management. That may be the most disappointing part of the experience. After more than 20 years as a KOA member, I expected at least the courtesy of a response. I chose this campground because I trusted the KOA name and wanted my grandkids to enjoy the amenities that were advertised. Unfortunately, they were probably the most disappointed of all. Hopefully this helps others considering staying here. Based on our experience, this campground did not meet the KOA standards I have come to expect over the past 20+ years.

Friendly and Thorough
I enjoyed this stay quite a bit, but it was only about 24 hours for me.
Friendly staff and chickens. Lots of amenities. Easy check-in and still close to surrounding areas. Plenty to do and ample resources to reload for your next camping trip.

Perfect spot
Standard military entrance and security requirements. Has about 80 level full hookups, free laundry, really nice community room, stocked with everything! Very clean fully equipped restrooms, grab bars, towel racks, shower seating, bicycle and walking paths. Campsites on the lake $35, others are $32. You can check in after hours with camp host.

Already planning to return, but a couple of catches
I stayed here six nights and already planning to book again for next year. Incredibly friendly staff, lovely beach, pretty salt marsh and because there isn't much else to do, doesn't get overrun by kids or idiots. Clean bathrooms.
The campground is across a busy street from the park/beach, you must check in before office closes on arrival date, but then you get a gate code for 24 hour access- including beach permission, which is exclusive to campers after hours.
There's no crosswalk and it's about a 15 minute walk to the beach, if you want to be closer to the ocean or have limited mobility, Ft. Clinch to the north is a better bet. There are also like four parks in between that are dog friendly.
All sites are close to bathrooms. The ones by the marsh have nice sunset views. The ADA lots are paved concrete, others are gravel.
Contrary to the Dyrt listing, cell service isn't great. I had no Verizon and, based on this listing, bought an ATT SIM, which got me two LTE bars and once in a while one 5G. Enough to browse a little, but not work or streaming.

Private camping
Navigating the park and campground entrance was a bit tight with my 45-foot motorhome flat-towing a car, but we made it! Once inside, the campground was easily navigable with many nice campsites, full hookups, and cable. T-Mobile cell signal was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! 🚐🏕️ #Park #Campground #Motorhome #Campsites #Hookups #Cable #Signal #Stay
Guide to Cumberland Island National Seashore
RV camping near Cumberland Island National Seashore spans multiple locations within a 30-mile radius of the ferry access point at St. Marys, Georgia. The coastal region features sandy soil and maritime forests with elevation rarely exceeding 20 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures average 85-95°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop to the 40s, creating variable camping conditions throughout the year.
What to do
Waterfront activities: At Flamingo Lake RV Resort, campers can enjoy swimming in a crystal-clear lake with inflatable water slides. "The lake is crystal clear and the staff is really kind! It's quiet and clean, would definitely come again," notes Drew H. The resort offers swan boats and a dedicated swimming area.
Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing options beyond the national seashore. "There is a recreational office in the middle of the camp... while there's no pool, there is a small lagoon," writes Stuart K. about A Big Wheel RV Park. The park's small fishing pond with fountain provides a relaxing spot for casual anglers.
Day trips to barrier islands: Many campers use these RV parks as a base for exploring nearby islands. "Located 35 miles from Jacksonville, FL and 45 miles from Jekyll and St. Simons Islands, there's plenty to explore from here," mentions Stuart K. about Kiki RV Park. These barrier islands offer distinctive ecosystems different from Cumberland Island itself.
What campers like
Military base amenities: Eagle Hammock RV Park offers unique access to Naval Submarine Base facilities. "Access to the exchange and commissary. The grounds are well kept, the staff are awesome, and everyone is friendly. Access to paved bike paths, nature trails, and fishing/boating," reports Donald B. The base also provides movie theaters and bowling.
Shaded camping spots: The region's oak trees create natural cooling. "Spanish Moss? Tick! Friendly staff? Tick! Nice porch to sit back with a cold one on a rocking chair? Tick! Old school Southern vibes? Three ticks!" says Stuart K. about Country Oaks Campground & RV Park, highlighting the mature tree canopy many campers appreciate.
Clean facilities: Many reviewers specifically mention bathroom quality. "Restrooms/showers very clean. On sides of rv are bushes that give you privacy," notes Lauren W. about Coastal GA RV Resort. The concrete pads and landscaping between sites create a sense of personal space despite sites being relatively close together.
What you should know
Airport noise considerations: Some parks near Jacksonville experience aircraft noise. "Pecan Park is one exit from the airport, so expect alot of plane noises and flyover by the airforce," warns Stephanie L. Consider choosing parks further north if noise sensitivity is important.
Seasonal flooding: Low-lying areas can experience standing water after heavy rains. "It had rained quite a bit for days, so it was nasty," mentions Karen about Walkabout Camp & RV Park. Many parks have gravel sites to mitigate this issue, but concrete pads provide the best drainage.
Wildlife awareness: Alligators inhabit many water features in the region. "Nice areas to walk your dog, nice pond adjacent to park (no swimming due to aligators)," warns Berg B. Always maintain distance from water edges, especially at dawn and dusk when wildlife is most active.
Tips for camping with families
Animal encounters: Several parks offer opportunities to interact with farm animals. "Did not use bathhouse or restroom facilities... Nice waffle breakfast in the Econo Lodge, which is adjacent," notes Jamie L. about Kiki RV Park, mentioning the convenient breakfast option many families appreciate.
Water play options: Horne Lake RV Resort provides water recreation without ocean hazards. "There's also a saltwater pool that is heated year-round," explains Stuart K., making it suitable for family swimming regardless of season or weather conditions.
Budget considerations: Cumberland Island requires ferry tickets in addition to camping fees. "We paid for a monthly sport for 860 a month including electric and cable. By far the nicest rv resort we have been to," shares Kurtess R. about Flamingo Lake RV Resort. Monthly rates offer significant savings for extended stays compared to nightly rates.
Tips from RVers
Accessibility for larger rigs: Most parks accommodate big rigs with appropriate turn radiuses. "Easy pull through sites, hook ups work great," confirms Drew H. about Flamingo Lake RV Resort. Most sites can handle rigs up to 45 feet, but calling ahead for specific site dimensions remains advisable.
Interstate proximity benefits: Many parks offer convenient highway access without excessive noise. "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," explains Berg B. about Coastal GA RV Resort, highlighting how this location serves as an excellent base for exploring the region.
Site surface variations: Different parks offer various parking surfaces. "Level concrete sites, pull through, only used electric," describes Jamie L. about Kiki RV Park. Concrete pads remain level regardless of weather, while gravel sites may require additional leveling after heavy rainfall.
