TravelerGreat camping area with dog parks close by. The campground is a little narrow if you are wide but all in all enough room to get through. All the amenities were clean and well kept. The local cat population is standoffish except ol 3 legs he was kind and loved the petting. The grounds are only a few blocks from the beach and it's beautiful! Had no problems here at all, everyone was so friendly!
ScoutAs of May 2026, this is NOT a dispersed camping site. We were told by law enforcement that we could not park or camp here overnight.
ScoutThis place is the worst Ive ever stayed at. The office and pool look great. Nothing else does. It looks and feels sketchy and unsafe. If you get stuck anywhere near that highway you will get no sleep. The traffic is constant day and night, loud trucks and speed limit is 55 mph so it like sleeping in the middle of the interstate. We've slept better at a rest area or truck stop. The park feels dirty and dingy, the one side of the park has an 8 ft section of the fence busted out. The only landscaping is at the office. Save your money and find somewhere else or go to a rest area.
ScoutAll sites are paved in concrete, and have full hookups, power/ water/ sewer. There is a golf course on-site. The pool has a lazy river. The clubhouse grille serves up alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and their menu items are quite tasty.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here and will definitely come back. We stayed in site 260, in the quiet 21+ section.
TravelerSmall park with small lake. Nice sites, level gravel or grass. Amenities include laundry, rest rooms, showers, wifi. ATT a little sketchy.
ScoutQuiet, secure, upscale, and in a prime location a few minutes from the beach. Restaurants of all kinds are everywhere. Park the rig and bring your bike, because the trails will lead you to everything.
TravelerClean beautiful park with lots of amenities including a lazy river, splash passing, pool and arcade. Spots are level most are concrete. Close to freeway quite and peaceful
TravelerHost and Mayor were kind. Views, horseshoes, fishing and boating. Clean and quiet!
Traveler3rd time staying here and we love it. The sites are very clean! Super close to downtown Savannah. Staff is awesome. GF loves the animals.

A camper at Little Tybee Island Dispersed shared, "The 'bone yard' as it's called by locals is an area of fallen, uprooted trees on the eastern side of the island that is absolutely gorgeous (and fun to climb through).
