Several RV parks sit within driving distance of Sapelo Island, Georgia, providing convenient bases for exploring this coastal region. Lake Harmony RV Park offers 53 full hookup sites with both 30 and 50 amp service, operating year-round with big-rig friendly accommodations. Just south in Darien, Inland Harbor RV Park features spacious sites on a high bluff overlooking the Altamaha River Basin with 50/30 amp electrical, water and sewer connections. "Conveniently located at exit 49 just off I95 right near Darien, Inland Harbor will impress you on a few fronts besides the immediacy of on/off access to this major highway artery," notes one RV camper. Legacy RV Resort provides 73 sites with full hookups including 50 amp service, while McIntosh Lake RV Park in Townsend offers big-rig friendly sites with water, electric, and sewer connections.
Access to these RV campgrounds typically requires driving from the mainland, as Sapelo Island itself is accessible only by ferry. Most parks in the region are pet-friendly with designated areas for dogs, though policies vary by location. Cell service is generally strong throughout the coastal Georgia area, with one traveler reporting "T-Mobile and AT&T signals with 3-5 bars" at nearby campgrounds. Dump stations are available at select parks, though not all facilities offer this amenity on-site. Propane refill services can be found at several locations, including Lake Harmony RV Park. The proximity to I-95 makes these RV parks convenient stopover points for travelers heading north or south along the Atlantic coast, while still providing access to coastal attractions. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak tourist seasons from spring through fall.

TravelerFort McAllister State Park Campground
This is such a gem. So quiet and peaceful. Saw deer everyday, and a few armadillo. They have a great fishing pier, a boat dock and nature trails. The bathrooms are clean and the water pressure is amazing. We loved it so much we added an extra day. The temps in November were perfect, and it’s not too far from Savannah.

Just an overnight
Milo 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.

Red Gate Farms - RV Resort
A Wonderful RV Resort with Easy Access to Savannah!
We really enjoyed our stay at Red Gate Farms RV Resort. It’s a lovely place with a peaceful, country atmosphere, yet conveniently located just a short distance from downtown Savannah. A great spot to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.
One of the biggest bonuses is the Old Town Trolley service, which picks you up at the resort at 9 AM, takes you into downtown Savannah, and brings you back at 4 PM. What a fantastic way to explore the city without having to worry about driving, parking, or navigating the busy streets!
The setting is beautiful, with plenty of open space and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it feel like you’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you’re visiting Savannah in an RV, Red Gate Farms is definitely worth considering. You get the best of both worlds — a peaceful place to stay and easy access to everything this historic city has to offer. We’d happily stay here again!

Beautiful setting
Pull through sites very accommodating. Trees need trimming. Roads very narrow.

Not up to KOA standards
I have been a KOA member for more than 20 years and have generally had very good experiences. Unfortunately, this particular KOA was a major disappointment. My wife and I brought our two grandkids on an eight-day trip and specifically chose this campground because of several advertised amenities: a pool with a slide, a game room, and a DVD player in the deluxe cabin. We paid more than$900 for our stay. When I booked, the campground disclosed that it was undergoing water and sewer upgrades and warned guests to expect construction and possible“brief water/power interruptions.” That seemed reasonable, and I had no problem with it. Unfortunately, what we encountered went well beyond a brief interruption. The DVD player in our cabin did not work. I reported it to the office and was told the owner would be notified and someone would get back to me. No one ever did. We then received a text stating that the pool slide was not operating because of electrical upgrades. When we went to use the pool anyway, there was a considerable amount of debris that looked like dirt floating in the water, and the surface underneath the water was badly peeling. My grandkids didn't want to get in. We tried the game room next. It had no electricity, none of the games were operating, there was no air conditioning, and the room was extremely hot. At that point, we decided to leave and find a hotel that actually had the amenities we had expected. For a little over$100 per night, we found a very nice hotel and stayed there instead. We returned to the campground the following Saturday for our final night, and unfortunately, the same issues were still present. In the end, we used only three of the eight nights we paid for. I understand that construction and upgrades have to happen. What I don't think is reasonable is continuing to advertise amenities such as a pool slide and game room when they are going to be unavailable for an extended period, while still charging guests the full rate. A warning about possible“brief water/power interruptions” did not accurately describe what we experienced. After returning home, I contacted the KOA. I made it clear that I was not asking for a refund for the three nights we actually stayed there. Since one night was already planned for a hotel in Orlando, I simply requested a partial refund or other reasonable adjustment for the four unused nights after we left because the advertised amenities were unavailable or unusable. I even offered to provide our hotel receipts. I have received no response from the campground's management. That may be the most disappointing part of the experience. After more than 20 years as a KOA member, I expected at least the courtesy of a response. I chose this campground because I trusted the KOA name and wanted my grandkids to enjoy the amenities that were advertised. Unfortunately, they were probably the most disappointed of all. Hopefully this helps others considering staying here. Based on our experience, this campground did not meet the KOA standards I have come to expect over the past 20+ years.
Guide to Sapelo Island
RV parks near Sapelo Island, Georgia offer camping options within a short drive of the coastal barrier island. Located along Georgia's coastal region where the elevation stays below 25 feet above sea level, the area experiences subtropical climate conditions with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Fall is considered the prime camping season with temperatures ranging from 65-80°F during the day and lower humidity than summer months.
What to do
Visit historical sites: Fort Pulaski National Monument sits about 30 minutes from Red Gate Farms - RV Resort, with Tybee Island just 10 minutes further. "Fort Pulaski is about 30 minutes away and Tybee Island is another 10 minutes. Skidaway Island State Park is on the way to the fort, and there's a campground on Tybee Island," notes Mary S.
Fishing opportunities: McIntosh Lake offers fishing access directly from the campground at Mcintosh Lake RV Park. "There are docks for fishing and swings by the lake to sit at and enjoy the view," reports Charity G. The spring-fed lake provides a peaceful setting for anglers of all skill levels.
Beach exploration: Jekyll Island and Cumberland Island provide natural coastal experiences within driving distance of Brunswick campgrounds. "On the nature side of things, I recommend either Jekyll Island or Cumberland Island where there's wild horse that run free on the beach head there," suggests a camper at Southern Retreat RV Park.
What campers like
Well-maintained facilities: GA Coastal RV Park receives praise for its cleanliness and upkeep despite being a newer facility. "Sites are a good size and well maintained. There's some traffic noise, but nothing excessive," writes Linda H., who found it ideal for short stays.
Lake views: Many sites at McIntosh Lake RV Park directly face the water. "Our campsite looked out onto a very pretty lake Mcintosh. The owners of this park are generous and gracious!" notes Sue B. The lakeside setting provides a scenic backdrop for camping experiences.
Proximity to attractions: Coastal GA RV Resort offers strategic positioning for exploring nearby islands. "Close to St. Simons, Brunswick, restaurants etc. Highly recommend," states Berg B. The resort's location proves beneficial for those wanting to visit multiple coastal destinations.
What you should know
Reservation timing: RV parks in coastal Georgia fill quickly during peak seasons, especially fall through spring. Most parks require advance bookings with some accepting reservations up to a year ahead.
Limited privacy: Site spacing varies significantly between parks. "If you want privacy between sites, this park is not for you. It is a pretty typical layout for a private park," mentions Sue B. about McIntosh Lake RV Park.
Highway noise: Several parks sit near interstate highways for convenient access but may experience traffic noise. "You can hear the interstate. A lot of misquotes at night in November," reports Sandy G. about Inland Harbor RV Park.
Payment options: Some parks have specific payment requirements. "Check-in was simple, pick up a packet and drop your check in the box. No cards accepted, cash or check only, no personal contact!" explains Charles P. about Inland Harbor RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Lake Harmony RV Park provides swimming options for families. "The campground had a small lake (pond) and there was a swimming area available which we did use. You could kayak in the lake and our site was right on the water so we were able to get kayak right from the site," shares Ashley W.
Recreation amenities: Look for parks with dedicated play areas. "The kids had so much fun playing volleyball, horse shoes, and tetherball. The July 4th fireworks show from the neighbors was extraordinary," writes Sharon M. about GA Coastal RV Park.
Beach proximity: For families wanting beach activities, consider distance to shorelines. "Short walk to the savannah river beach. A little longer walk to the ocean beach. 20 min drive to historic Savannah," explains Gregory Q. about River's End Campground.
