Rustic cabins with modern amenities are available throughout the Savannah region near Pooler. Skidaway Island State Park Campground offers cabin rentals with water and electric hookups, fire pits, and picnic tables. Fort McAllister State Park provides secluded cabin accommodations set among pine trees and Spanish moss. "Our site was very private, level, and clean! The deck with bench, table and chairs, gas fire pit was super nice," notes one visitor. Rivers End Campground on Tybee Island features cabin options within walking distance to North Beach, while Savannah South KOA maintains family-friendly cabins with access to their swimming pool and playground facilities.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Point South KOA offers cabin rentals with varying levels of furnishing, with some units including private decks and outdoor seating areas. Most cabins require reservations, especially during peak summer months and holiday weekends. Pet policies vary by property—Skidaway Island and Fort McAllister State Parks allow pets in some cabin units, while others maintain pet-free accommodations. Holbrook Pond Recreation Area provides cabin options with lakefront views and boat access. A review mentioned, "We decided to stay for night #2. The facilities, the sites, the roads were perfect!"
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchen facilities typically include microwaves and mini-refrigerators, with some locations offering full kitchenettes. The more rustic options provide only electrical outlets and outdoor cooking areas with fire rings. Campground stores at KOA locations and state parks stock firewood, ice, and limited groceries. For more extensive shopping, Pooler offers several grocery stores within a 15-30 minute drive from most cabin locations. Cabin guests staying at Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks benefit from an on-site market for essential items, while those at state parks can purchase firewood and basic camping supplies at park offices.

GuideMilo and I arrived kinda late. I had a quick dehydrated meal and a quick look around with my thermal monocular.
I thought the site were kinda close for a state park. Not my kinda place. We were only passing through.
ScoutPull through sites very accommodating. Trees need trimming. Roads very narrow.
ScoutThe campsite has a great space. Bathroom, and laundry were nice and clean.
LegendJust a short drive SE of downtown Savannah, Skidaway Island SP Campground offers a peaceful escape immersed in marshes, maritime forests, and Spanish moss-draped live oaks. Set along Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, the park feels remote while still easily accessible not just to civilization, but arguably one of the greatest little cities in the entire South, making it perfect for folks who want to grab a pristine slice of nature without having to sacrifice comfort and / or quick access to shops, restaurants and more salt water taffy shops on the Savannah riverfront than you can imagine.
The campground hosts some 87 tent, trailer and RV sites, many of which include water and electric hookups (usually 30/50 amp), and about 17 premium spots with full hookups. Sites are gravel, shaded, and include a picnic table, fire ring and grill making it ideal for gathering around the campfire. On-site you’ll find incredibly well-kept and clean restrooms with flush toilets, hot showers, a laundry room, dump station and an excellent CG store near the front of the property (near the entrance) for staples like firewood, snacks, ice and souvenirs. There are 3 yurts that the SP will rent you offering enhanced comfort with A/C, heat, kitchens, bathrooms and screened porches - perfect for those seeking a bit more luxury. Pets are allowed in campsites but not in the cabins. Additional features include three pioneer group campsites, a group shelter, laundry facilities, playgrounds and even outdoor fitness equipment with Wi-Fi available at the park office.
What sets Skidaway Island apart from other SPs is, yes, its proximity to an exquisite city, but very much so, the wildlife you'll discover here with deer, fiddler crabs, raccoons and egrets being frequent sightings, which you’ll encounter while experiencing the six miles of hiking trails weaving through salt marsh and maritime forest. The boardwalk and observation tower over the Skidaway Narrows offer scenic glimpses of birdlife and nature. Engaging ranger programs, geocaching and an interpretive center deepen the experience. While close enough to Savannah, if you are not familiar with the area, you should definitely check out Tybee Island (about 30–40 minutes away) to easily combine camping with beach day-trips.
Insider Tips? Oh yeah, I’ve got quite a few for you: (1) For big rigs, book one of the premium full-hookup pull-through sites as they’re roomy and easier to access, although the low-hanging Spanish moss can be tricky to maneuver but will give you tons of shade and creates a peaceful vibe; (2) Even if you’re not staying in a yurt, stop by and check them out as they’re very well made, cozy and well-equipped; (3) Take the Big Ferry and Marsh Trail to the observation tower for sunrise or sunset wildlife viewing where you’ll be richly rewarded, but be sure to bring either that double-walled thermos of coffee for early AM sipping or that cocktail shaker set pre-loaded with your favorite elixir for proper sun-downers; (4) One of the biggest ‘pro tips’ I could give anyone coming to Skidaway is LOAD UP ON FIREWOOD *** BEFORE *** you arrive as every imaginable place that sells firewood within a 20 mile radius was completely out – and while the CG store has a firewood box in front of the store, it was either always locked or out of wood by the time we stopped by; (5) Another huge ‘pro tip’ is given the very close proximity to Publix, which is literally right outside the CG, you don’t really need to load up your coolers too much as you can simply go there whenever you need something, so let Publix keep your supplies cool and save yourself some packing!; (6) Beware of ant infestations – the little guys were literally EVERYWHERE, so I was grateful that I remembered to pack 1 can of ant spray from another bad camping experience, so we sprayed a perimeter around our tent and we were fine; (7) You will also want to be mindful that the black-eyed furry bandits (racoons) were INCREDIBLY aggressive and would actually come straight up to our picnic table and grab things WHILE WE WERE EATING and tried to run away with our bags, food and even a small pot!; and (8) When you grow weary of conjuring up that next meal from your cooler and want to try out some local fare, these are some nearby joints I'd recommend: Castaways, Sandfly BBQ where you’ll want to definitely gnosh on the smoked chicken, baked beans and cole slaw, Crystal Beer Parlor for old school cheesburger’s in a century’s old grocery store and Loc’s Chicken & Waffles, but if you want something truly transformation, venture into Savannah for fantastic dining at The Grey with its sizzlin’ smoking pig and Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House for succulent fried chicken – both of which require advance reservations and likely a better outfit than the one you might be camping in – and finish an excellent bit of dining with some of the best ice cream in the universe over at Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor.
Happy Camping!
GuideWonderful resort with outstanding amenities. Clean and well kept.
GuideWhat a great place to stay! Lots to do here. Shower, laundry, dog parks, pool, splash pad, workout facility, pickleball courts, and so much more.
GuideExpensive for a campground in general but not for the region, and I was able to find a discount code online. Staff went out of the way to accommodate arrival after the office closed. Hard refusal to allow entry after 10 to preserve quiet hours, no idea what happens in emergency. Place is big and beautiful, well landscaped with lots of mostly level sites and Spanish moss everywhere. Cell service is sufficient. Proximity to Savannah is a huge deal, it's a nice enough park on its own but this is the best option if you're visiting the city and need power at night.
GuideBeautiful location but swarming with deer flies during our visit. Lots of wildlife to observe from campsite including deer, armadillo, squirrel, possum, ...
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!
