    Fort McAllister State Park Campground

    Beautiful woods and cool fort

    This park is out on the edge of town. All the spaces were far apart from each other. Most of them were pull through, but beware some of the pull through had trees which would limit larger trailers or coaches getting into the sites. All the sites for camping I believe had at least water and electric and I think some of them had sewer as well. There were nice showers and even a laundry facility. Nice little hike through the magnolia trail where I spotted deer, raccoons, and armadillo, and several squirrels. Also if you book online you don’t get the senior discount but if you go into the office they will give it to you. And don’t miss going through the fort and the museum. Very interesting part of our history.

    No complaints!!

    This Campground was great, lots of nice shower rooms, a snack room, fitness room, pool & close to the Lighthouse & beach! A few restaurants within bike or scooter distance. The campground is shaded by Live Oaks & very neat & well kept, we were very content!

    Fort McAllister State Park Campground

    Loved to be immersed in Nature

    This turned out to be one of our favorite campgrounds (on a trip between Philadelphia and Savannah). We loved to be immersed in nature and like to discover wildlife. We saw deer, racoon, opossum and armadillo at Fort Mc Allister. Off course there are also lots of bugs and mosquitos that is the downside of this swampy jungle. Campground has nice spots, full hook up available, good shower facilities and not to far to combine with a Savannah visit (very nice town by the way).

    Green Acres RV Camping

    Best Place I’ve Stayed

    This was by far the best campground I have ever stayed at. Owner watches out for his land and makes his guests feel very important. I’m a travel therapist and move all over the US every 3 months, and this was the best I’ve stayed. Owner is very understanding and is willing to go above and beyond for his guests!! Some people moved out and left a mess when pulled out, by the end of the day it was all cleaned up. Very clean, couldn’t be happier💜

    Hilton Head National RV Resort

    Stay Here

    This is by far the best camp ground I have ever stayed at. Clean and spacious sites. The Bath house and private shower area were 5-star hotel quality. Great dog park very clean with separate areas for large and small pets. The pool, lazy river, Tiki Bar and restaurant area was top quality, providing plenty of lounge chairs, tables/w umbrellas, and free pool floats for the lazy river experience. The are plenty cabana setups throughout the pool complex. They were quite expensive and frankly mostly empty for the week I stayed there.(August). Food was outstanding and consistent throughout our stay. My family highly recommends a stay. We will be back.

    CreekFire RV Resort

    Overall a good stay, will be back

    Campground is super clean and friendly staff. Love having the resort like pool/lazy river/splash pad.

    Sites are packed in pretty well, but they do a good job dividing them off from one another so it doesn't feel too cramped. Unfortunately not a lot of shade to be found.

    Sites are angled so it makes backing in a breeze! And the concrete pad was almost perfectly level which made setup so quick!
