Cabretta Island Pioneer Campground includes electric hookups and permits pets with convenient access to both beach and marsh areas. Located on Sapelo Island, this tent, RV, and cabin accommodation requires a ferry ride followed by bus transportation to reach the campsite. Dogs are welcome throughout the grounds and near the walking paths to the shore. The campground features a shower house with toilets and sinks, large covered pavilion with picnic tables, electrical outlets, and established fire pit. Campers note the pavilion provides multiple Adirondack shelters to keep supplies dry during inclement weather. While enjoying this pet-friendly destination, visitors should pack extra bug spray as insects can be prevalent in this coastal environment.
Camping with pets at Belle Bluff Island Campground provides direct access to White Chimney River with a spacious aluminum dock ideal for fishing and boat mooring. The campground offers full hookup sites for RVs with pets, though sites are positioned relatively close together. A small bath house provides basic facilities with two toilets and two showers for each gender. Owners should be prepared for coastal wildlife including insects that may be present in facilities. For larger pets requiring more exercise space, Lake Harmony RV Park features lakeside sites with grassy areas and paddle boat rentals. The park maintains clean facilities and offers pet-friendly waterfront camping with fishing opportunities. Most sites include water views, and the spring-fed lake provides a scenic backdrop for walks with leashed dogs along the shoreline paths and swinging benches.

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!
ScoutI 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.

TravelerFriendly staff. Easy check in. Very clean park. Sites aren’t really big, but are separated by bushes, trees so provides some privacy. They are very pet friendly. We travel with a dog and they have a dog park. It’s not big (for larger dogs) and it would be nicer with a different surface (stone or chips) as it had really muddy areas. And of course there are always those pet owners who don’t bother to pick up there dog’s poop. So not the fault of the campground. Another camper told me they are adding a doggie grooming daycare facility. Which would be great to be able to leave your dog for the day while site seeing . Restrooms very clean. Nice showers. Doors locked and keyed with code. ice machine (free!) Didn’t use the laundry room but poked my head in and it was clean, all top loading washers. Great area to walk (like a boardwalk) around the pond. Close to stores, islands, restaurants. We would stop again for a few nights if traveling thru that area again. Restful and felt safe.
ScoutThis campground is pet friendly.. they have a dog park area and doggie biscuits at the check in desk. There’s a swimming pool for the kids and awesome outdoor games and playground area..The staff was friendly and helpful. Added bonus was the free waffles and orange juice/ coffee for breakfast
Scoutopen easy sites, most are back in. friendly people. pet friendly, but campground cats roaming so watch your dog. horses and goats in farm area, plenty of room for a nice leg stretch for the dogs. close to town and nice trolley will pick you up at campground
Guidegoing here for about the tenth time. Great place, family centered place. you can walk to the beach, dog park adjacent to campground, nice pool. My family loves Tybee.
GuideThis is definitely a "city" campground. Spots are tight, you will be very close to your neighbors, but you'll have everything you need, including a fire ring and picnic table. Wi-Fi and cable were also on point.
There is an on-site store which seemed well stocked. However, we tried to order firewood several nights and each night, they were out of firewood.
Bugs are bad. Bring bug spray!
There are two dog parks beside the campground. One for small dogs and another for large dogs. They are nice to have but both could definitely use some work. Even though we have small dogs, we went to the big dog park because the small dog park was in really bad shape.
Walking/biking distance to the beach. Also walkable to really great coffee shop called Tybean Art & Coffee Bar.
*Warning: While Tybee Island, including the campground, is one of the most dog-friendly places I have ever been, you are not allowed to have dogs on the beaches on the island. This is so strange to me, but they are very serious about it. Don't do it.
RangerEasy in & out location. Wooded throughout. Full hookup pull thru sites available & they even have “paw pen” sites with private fenced areas for dogs. Very friendly staff. Right off of the highway so you can hear traffic if you’re outside but not inside. Little store with the basics. Doggy poo stations throughout. Cute pool with a waterfall & slide. Small playground and dog park.
Camping on Sapelo Island, Georgia requires a ferry crossing and offers a mix of coastal and marsh environments within a unique barrier island ecosystem. Most camping areas sit less than 20 feet above sea level, creating excellent marsh access but requiring careful planning during seasonal high tides. The limited facilities and island access create a more primitive camping experience than mainland options.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: At Skidaway Island State Park, campers regularly spot native wildlife. "Deer and other wildlife are seen every day," notes Pamela I., while multiple nature trails provide easy access to observation areas.
History exploration: Civil War history enthusiasts can visit Fort McAllister State Park for historical exhibits. "We planned this trip to coincide with the annual Civil War reenactment of Sherman's last battle on his way to the sea. It was our first reenactment and was interesting," reports William N., who appreciated the park's historical significance.
Water activities: Fishing from docks provides reliable recreation near Sapelo Island. "My son fished from the dock the entire time we were there and loved it," shares Ashley W. about her stay at Belle Bluff Island Campground. The White Chimney River offers productive fishing spots directly accessible from the campground.
Natural settings: Tall trees and established vegetation create comfortable camping environments. At Jekyll Island Campground, Mary G. appreciated how "They tuck the sites among the trees. Staff was very helpful at check in, lead us right to our spot. Walking distance to pier and Driftwood Beach."
Water views: Many sites offer direct water access for fishing or relaxation. "We had a site across from the lake. Nice shady site," reports Lauren W. about Blythe Island Regional Park, highlighting the water access many campers value.
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities remain consistent priorities for campers. "Bath house was clean but 'C' grade. Not enough trash bins," notes Lisa S. about her stay at Lake Harmony RV Park, showing that while facilities vary in quality, cleanliness remains important.
Wildlife encounters: Be prepared for wildlife interactions at coastal campgrounds. "We didn't expect, even in Savannah in December, was mosquitoes," writes William N. about Fort McAllister State Park, while Ethan H. mentions "Lots of no see ums" at Blythe Island Regional Park.
Transportation considerations: Most barrier islands require specific transportation planning. Coastal GA RV Resort offers "Easy on easy off" access according to Katherine B., making it convenient for RVers passing through the area without ferry constraints.
Seasonal factors: Weather and insects vary significantly by season. "Do not leave food or trash unattended or they will ransack your campsite," warns Hannah C. about raccoons at Fort McAllister State Park during her April visit when "the flies were awful but they went away when the sun went down."
Playground access: Some parks offer dedicated child-friendly areas. Tyler W. notes about Fort McAllister State Park: "My kids loved the playground and the fort tour!" providing multiple activities for different age groups.
Swimming options: Lakes provide safer swimming alternatives to ocean beaches. Ashley W. mentioned at Lake Harmony RV Park: "The campground had a small lake (pond) and there was a swimming area available which we did use."
Pet-friendly activities: When camping with pets near Sapelo Island, look for designated exercise areas. "They are very pet friendly. We travel with a dog and they have a dog park," explains Liz M. at Coastal GA RV Resort, though she notes "it would be nicer with a different surface (stone or chips) as it had really muddy areas."
Site specifications: Check site dimensions carefully before booking. At Inland Harbor RV Park, Sandy G. notes it's a "small park" with "full hookup" that's "perfect for overnight while getting to your destination," highlighting its utility for travelers.
Privacy considerations: Vegetation between sites creates varying degrees of separation. Liz M. observed at Coastal GA RV Resort that "sites aren't really big, but are separated by bushes, trees so provides some privacy."
Access challenges: Some parks have specific entry requirements. Patrick H. advises about Jekyll Island Campground: "There is an extra fee/toll to get out to the island to be aware of. Well worth it!"
