Best Cabin Camping near Darien, GA

Crooked River State Park offers two-bedroom cottages with full kitchens, private bathrooms, air conditioning, and screened porches overlooking the river. Deep Bend Landing provides rustic cabins including "Grandpa's Cabin" with waterfront views of the Satilla River. Fort McAllister State Park Campground features "gorgeous cabins" according to visitors, while Skidaway Island State Park includes cabin options amid Spanish moss-draped trees. The kitchen facilities in most cabins are well-equipped with basic cookware, dishes, and appliances. "The kitchen is well stocked, minus a cutting board," noted one Crooked River visitor, who was "surprised to find supplies at the cottage like paper towels, toilet paper, and dishwasher pods."

Pet policies vary significantly between cabin locations, with some charging additional fees. Crooked River State Park allows pets in only four of their eleven cottages with a $50 pet fee. Jacksonville North-St. Marys KOA offers pet-friendly cabin camping with dedicated pet areas and amenities specifically for dogs. Reservation requirements are standard across all locations, with peak season (spring and summer) requiring bookings well in advance. Cabin sizes range from cozy one-room structures to spacious multi-bedroom cottages that can accommodate families. One visitor remarked, "We spent a pleasant long weekend here in this 2-br cottage with a peaceful view of the river. Full kitchen, screened-in porch, and a fire ring outside."

Most cabin rentals provide basic furnishings including beds with mattresses, but guests typically need to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels unless otherwise specified. Kitchen supplies vary by location, with state park cabins generally better equipped than private campground options. Savannah South KOA maintains a general store with camping essentials, while Deep Bend Landing is more remote with the nearest supplies located 8 miles away. Visitors planning extended stays should bring specialty cooking items, as noted by one Crooked River guest who recommended "a reliable and sharpened kitchen knife, kitchen scissors, and a trusty cast iron pan." Firewood is available for purchase at most locations for outdoor cooking and campfires, with fire rings typically provided at cabin sites.

    Crooked River State Park Campground

    Time slows down here

    This review is for CRSP Cottage 10, a 2 bedroom, 4 bed, 1 bath, pet friendly house down a quiet road within the park. The park staff at the gift shop were very kind and engaged. They collected our balance and $50.00 pet fee there. Not all cottages are pet friendly. Cottage 10 is...so plan ahead! Despite that, there was 0 smell when we entered the cottage. It was very clean! Exceptional view of Crooked River! Our family of four loved s’mores under the stars and twisted coastal trees. There is a jumbo picnic table and fire pit. Carrying meals out was no issue and so much less exhausting than cooking on the Coleman stove and dealing with gear and tents. That’s also a fun experience, but coming back to AC and a private bathroom after a full day of hiking Cumberland Island is worth the nightly price tag. One day it poured. We comfortably watched the storm from the cozy screened-in porch. The kitchen is well stocked, minus a cutting board. No biggie. Made do. I always travel with a reliable and sharpened kitchen knife, kitchen scissors, and my trusty cast iron pan. But I was surprised to find supplies at the cottage like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish washer pods. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are clean and plentiful. It was a great experience and we would love to return.

    Great jumping off point for Cumberland Island

    We spent a pleasant long weekend here in this 2-br cottage with a peaceful view of the river. Full kitchen, screened-in porch, and a fire ring outside. We t in a short nature walk along the river, but this cottage made an especially great jumping off point to catch the ferry in St. Mary’s for a day trip (with bikes) to Cumberland Island. It poured the whole day, so we felt especially grateful for the dry cabin and ability to cook food upon return. Would definitely return and would bring the kayaks to use in the park next time. Be sure to also check out the tabby sugar works ruins just down the road from the park!

    Cabretta Island Pioneer Campground

    My favorite place to camp!

    I love this campground! Plenty of trees for hammock camping, which is what I prefer, as well as many options for tent set ups. They do have Adirondacks on site for camping. Established fire pit, large covered pavilion with multiple picnic tables, electrical hookups located within pavilion and a shower house equip with sinks and toilets. Walking distance to the beach. Very beautiful! Bike and kayak rental available through on site camp host. Ice and firewood for purchase. You take a ferry to sapelo island, then a bus takes you to Cabretta Campground. Heaven on earth, just don’t forget the bug spray.

    Skidaway Island State Park Campground

    Beautiful Park in Great Location

    This state park is close to a lot of things to do.  Very close to Wormslow Historic Site and Savannah.  The campground is really nice with large trees and lots of hanging moss.  We were in site 61 that was very deep and secluded with our picnic table set back from the road.  We had to park our camper crooked because of a tree and roots.  The bath house was nice and clean.  However the heat was broken on the hand blower in the women's side.

    There are sites with full hook ups.  There are also nice trails with one that leads to an observation deck.  Also have bike rentals.

    Great state park, big sites

    My 1st trip here did NOT disappoint! Large sites & lots of trees/shade. There are also big cottages in the back to rent. Very friendly staff & the river is beautiful. Tons of walking & golf cart trails. Paved roads & doggy stations. The sites have lots of room & a fire ring & picnic table. There are two playgrounds for people with kids & the birdwatching was incredible & I’m not even into that. Nice little store for essentials. Definitely will return.

    Savannah South KOA

    Beautiful & Clean

    This was our very first camping trip (2 adults, 2 kids & a Lab.) We arrived to friendly service & easily found our site (#6.) The tent sites are right on the water, which is home to swans, ducks, turtles & possibly gators too! The sandy pad for our tent was perfect, very level & comfortable. There was plenty of room for our big screened canopy, picnic table, chairs & fire ring. The views from the lake were wonderful & t made waking up to see the sunrise worth it every day.

    This campground is about 30mins from Savannah & Tybee Island - both of which we visited & enjoyed.

    The bathhouse & general store were very clean & located a short walk from the tent sites. There is also a playground & pool. The campground was quiet, we had no issues at all.

    We will definitely be returning soon!

    Skidaway Island State Park Campground

    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.

    Skidaway Island State Park Campground

    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!
