Savannah RV parks feature a mix of amenities for travelers seeking convenience near historic areas. Most campgrounds are located within a 10-25 minute drive from downtown, with sites ranging from heavily wooded to open layouts. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity, making air conditioning essential during peak season. Fall and spring offer more moderate camping conditions when overnight temperatures average 50-70°F.
What to do
Horseback riding: Red Gate Farms offers trail rides on their 200-acre property. "We enjoyed walking around the grounds and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. They have multiple locations set up with swinging chairs to take in the views. Visiting with the horses, goats, and peacocks during our walks," notes a camper at Red Gate Farms - RV Resort.
Fishing opportunities: Several RV parks offer fishing access on-site. "There are docks for fishing and swings by the lake to sit at and enjoy the view," reports a visitor to Mcintosh Lake RV Park. The spring-fed lake provides a peaceful setting for anglers without needing to travel off property.
Golf course access: Some RV resorts incorporate golf course proximity as a key amenity. "Many of those sites overlook HH National golf course. You can easily walk to the course," mentions a review of Hilton Head National RV Resort. Golfers can maintain their hobby while staying at several of the higher-end resorts.
What campers like
Wildlife viewing: Many Savannah-area RV parks incorporate natural settings with resident wildlife. "We loved our stay here! The sites are spacious and site 19 has extra space because it's on the end. We enjoyed visiting the horses and goats. The trails around the lakes were our dogs favorite thing," shares a camper at Red Gate Farms.
Water features: Swimming pools and water recreation areas rank highly in camper satisfaction. "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," notes a reviewer at Hilton Head National RV Resort, highlighting the resort-style amenities available.
Walking trails: Properties with integrated nature paths receive positive feedback. "The campground is surrounded by a beautiful walking trail that cuts thru the woods & several areas of the campground," describes a visitor. Multiple campgrounds maintain trail networks around lakes and wooded areas for morning walks or evening strolls.
What you should know
Site surfaces: Surface types vary significantly between parks. "The sites are about 65 ft in length of which 50 ft is poured concrete with a concrete patio," describes one park, while at CreekFire RV Resort, "Sites are angled so it makes backing in a breeze! And the concrete pad was almost perfectly level which made setup so quick!"
Advanced reservations: Seasonal demand affects availability significantly. "We visited in May 2020. We enjoyed it so much, we returned 3 weeks later," writes a visitor, while another advises, "Call if you don't see availability online. I've never seen a tent here, but that area in front of the office is good for a tent."
Tree cover considerations: Shade availability varies dramatically between parks. "The only con I have is no shade," notes a CreekFire visitor, while another comments, "All grass sites. Wifi and cable. Decent rates. Well kept up." Some parks feature mature oak trees with Spanish moss, while others offer more open, sunny layouts.
Tips for camping with families
Pool complexes: Family-friendly water amenities receive high marks from parents. "The kids loved the pool and lazy river," reports a camper at Hilton Head National RV Resort. "They have a large pool with lazy river and a very nice playground. The bathrooms/bathhouse is very luxurious."
Animal interaction: Properties with farm animals provide entertainment for children. At River's End Campground & RV Park, "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."
Dedicated kid spaces: Look for parks with designated play areas. "They have basketball, pickleball, splash pad, and a nice playground," notes a reviewer. Some parks designate separate adults-only sections, making it easier to choose appropriate areas when traveling with children.
Tips from RVers
Pet accommodations: Dog owners appreciate dedicated pet areas. "They also had a fenced in dog park area," mentions a visitor to Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks. "Awesome campground, they escort you to your site! You have to rent a fire pit for $50 but if you buy 3 bundles of wood you get your money refunded."
Transportation options: Consider alternative transportation for exploring. "You can catch a trolley to downtown Savannah," notes one RVer about Red Gate Farms. Several parks offer golf cart rentals, while others provide shuttle services to historic areas or beaches.
Laundry facilities: Quality and availability of laundry facilities varies between parks. "Clean laundry and bath which always means allot," notes one camper at Mcintosh Lake RV Park. Higher-end resorts feature multiple machines while smaller parks may have limited availability.
