Best Glamping near Skidaway Island, GA

We absolutely LOVED Skidaway Island camp ground! Huge campsites, gorgeous bike and walking trails, big playground, friendly staff, state of the art welcome center.

Spent 3 nights at Skidaway Island SP in July. Beautiful, shaded campground with lots to do. Convenient to historic Savannah, Wormslow plantation and Fort Pulaski. Nice hiking trails

Skidaway Island SP is quite possibly the nicest state park camping facility we’ve yet to visit! The sites are beyond spacious and afford plenty of privacy - and the hookups were conveniently situated at both sites we utilized during our visit. Huge, level tent pads for tent camping are also provided, as are picnic tables and fire rings. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and in excellent repair. The brand-new visitors center is beautiful and staff were courteous & professional to a person! Bird life is abundant and we had deer show up every day to check on us. Hiking trails are outstanding and the picnic/playground areas are fantastic. Skidaway Island SP is a gem with the added bonus of being just a 15 minute drive to downtown Savannah - we will undoubtedly be returning!

We love Skidaway Island State Park for its large wooded sites, big beautiful trees draped in Spanish moss, clean modern bathrooms, and close proximity to Savannah. We visit this park twice a year and will keep coming back.

Nice pine forested campground in gorgeous state park. Excellent trails for walking through spectacular marshes, pine/palm/oak forests. Near Savannah but on Skidaway Island you have very nice remote, scenic feel. Campsites all nice. We stayed in January 2021 and are returning again in February 2021! Love it.

We went to Skidaway Island State Park Departure very is very clean restrooms are clean it’s close to Savannah so we want to explore Savannah the weekend we were there what a way to save money the park rates are so much cheaper than hotel rates Plus I had cable TV also at the park

We absolutely loved Skidaway Island State Park. The campsites are spacious, bathhouses clean, and the trails are kept very manicured. It’s a small state park but the perfect size to tuck away for a week. There’s also a Publix that’s easily in bike riding distance just outside the gate of the park to pick up groceries.

We stayed at Skidaway Island State Park for 4 nights in May. Even thought the park was full (Memorial Day weekend), it never felt crowded. The spaces are very large and spread out. Many of the campsites have gorgeous Live Oak trees covered in Spanish Moss. The center sites in the campground are pull through with full hookups. The majority are some mix of pull through or back in with water / electric. There are a handful of nature trails that are easily accessible from the campground. The campground is also a short drive from Savannah, so it’s a great base camp for exploring northeastern Georgia.

Skidaway Island State Park outside Savannah, Ga. Had to keep an eye on the dogs who aren't used to things trying to eat them.

Sandy campground, narrow, but level sites. Nice enough, but sand in all those places:)

The trail is nice. Has a walkway across the beach ecosystem, you can see the ground move. It's the cool little crabs running in and out of their holes.

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. We had a pull through site with full hookups. The sites are well spaced with trees in between most sites. There are 4-5 miles of trails in the park that are close to the campground. We had 1-2 bars of Verizon and 2-3 bars of AT&T. We got quite a few OTA channels that came in really good. The dump station was across from our site, but it wasn't too bad. I'd definitely stay here again. Some roads were a little narrow and tight to navigate with trees. The only issue we had is they turned off the water without notice one of the days we were there and it was off for over an hour. We camped at Skidaway Island State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

It was our first camping trip/road trip, we had a roof top tent on top of our suv and skidaway island state park was our first stop! We checked in at the office, which had a beautiful gift shop and many supplies incase you had forgotten any. We were greeted by wonderful staff members and a park ranger. Parking is $5, they were currently out of firewood but thankfully Publix is not far. We made reservations for one night for a tent site which was not a far walk to the restrooms and shower facilities. Our site was very spacious and private and it was a pull through which was wonderful for our rooftop tent. The park is very clean and a absolutely beautiful place to stay, we decided to stay for night #2. The facilities, the sites, the roads were perfect! Also, sites came with running water, electric, fire pit and picnic table.Watch for the big raccoons and don’t leave your trash out at night because those bandits will come!

Skidaway Island State Park is a terrific spot conveniently located on the Diamond Causeway outside Savannah. We stayed here for 3 nights and found something fun and different to do each day of our stay. Whether you’re looking to do some hiking, biking, or kayaking on the intercostal, Skidaway has got you covered.

We stayed in site 25 which offered 2 water spigots and 20/30/50 amp electric. The site was level with a fire ring, tent pad and large picnic table. The main road getting in to the campground is 2 lanes wide, but the lanes that go through each loop are somewhat narrow. The dump station is a bit odd, located in the middle of the campground. If you’re staying in one of the loops closest to the entrance, you’ll need to circle all the way around to the back of the campground to access it.

The park office is very nice and offers a variety of merchandise and some basic camping supplies including fire starters and bundles of wood. There was also some RV supplies like AquaKem and dump hoses which would come in handy if you needed something in a pinch. You can also rent cruiser bikes here for $6/hour. We enjoyed riding around the park and on the Big Ferry Trail.

We booked site 61 at Skidaway Island State Park for our first trip to Savannah. It was a convenient location for experiencing the low country.

We called ahead because we knew we’d arrive after hours. The staff was helpful and completed the check in process over the phone. She hung out tag at our site and left our map taped to the Visitor Center for our convenience. Our site was a little difficult to find (we had to make the loop a second time before finding it). The main road through the campground is two-lane, but the other roads are very narrow with vehicles driving in both directions. Fortunately, we didn’t encounter another rig on the narrow road of campground #4.

We loved the seclusion our site provided. We had a little trouble getting level with all of the roots but managed to get it done before rain set in for the evening. After touring the campground, we agreed that site 61 was our favorite because of the privacy and large yard space (both worth forgoing a sewer connection in our opinions).

Our primary reason for selecting this campground was its proximity to Savannah. It was a great hub for the activities we did throughout the week, but we also got to explore the park itself. The new visitor/interpretation center is beautiful! The trails behind it are very accessible and diverse. We saw lots of wildlife including deer, rabbits, squirrels, birds, and crabs. We also enjoyed the Big Ferry Trail, a three-mile loop with various historical sites along the trail. This was also a very easy trail to hike. This is a great campground for bicycles. The playground was nice and located near the visitor center (away from the campground). Although we didn’t use the bathhouses or laundry facilities, they were all very clean and well appointed.

Anyone wanting to visit Savannah would find this a lovely, convenient location! We highly recommend this beautiful state park.

We wanted to explore the GA coast and Skidaway Island State Park did not disappoint. We used the park as a base to experience Georgia's low country.

While the Island is basically a gated community for Savannah, the park is a beautiful reminder of a time gone by with Spanish moss draped live oaks and plenty of wildlife to see and hear.

Well maintained and clean, the park is just what we were looking for. The hosts keep the place spotless and make sure the rules for dogs and quiet times are adhered to for the enjoyment of all, while being friendly and helpful to everyone.

The trials inside the park are wide, well marked and, scenic. During tides they can be a bit "moist" so plan to walk part of the trails barefooted or simply avoid those areas.

We did get on the water with our paddle boards as there is a public boat ramp just over the causeway. Exploring the marshlands and seeing the wildlife was awesome. The ramp was clean and well maintained. There is a kayak tour serve that operates from the ramp so, if you don't have water gear, you can rent from them or take part in a tour. Just make note of tides and wind.

Provisions are close at hand with 2 large, well stocked grocery stores within minutes of the park entrance.

October is a wonderful time to visit the Georgia coast. Bugs, tourists, and foul weather are at seasonal lows. Our visit was the middle of October and the days were warm and sunny with the nights cool and mostly bug free. We did get a couple of night time showers and the sound of rain on the tent fly lulled us to sleep. Waking up to the barred owls hooting to each other was nice as well.

UGA has a learning center on the island with an aquarium but, due to COVID, you must make reservations for admittance. The site has some discovery tails that are great for everyone with a boardwalk that extends over the marsh.

As noted in other reviews, Savanah is close by and the beaches of Tybee Island are about 20 minutes away. Fort Polaski is a great place to explore with a lighthouse trial. Be aware that the trial can be very muddy at times. We walked the trail bare footed with pants legs rolled up. No issues.

We visited Wormslow Historic Site. There is a 1.5 mile drive under towering moss draped live oaks to the visiter's center. Beautiful. At the visitor's center you can learn about the history of the site and inhabitants. There are trails through the site with historical reenactment sites along the way.

We plan to go back next fall.

Campground Review: Skidaway Island State Park is a great campground. There is not a bad site on the grounds. It appeared that all sites are pull-through sites, and there is plenty of space, with greenery, between each site. The comfort station is well-kept, although there was a sewer smell. That is most-likely unavoidable due to the soil type. It was not as unbearable as it may be in the summertime. Gratefully, the bathhouse is heated. We camped during record low temperatures for the area and time of year.(https://gastateparks.org/SkidawayIsland) The hiking trails are well-kept, and easy. One trail is very short for those who want to do some nature-watching, but struggle on long hikes. This trail takes you to a boardwalk, and observation tower in the tidal marsh. We were fortunate to get there as the tide was rolling in. This area is rich and diverse in flora and fauna. Wormsloe State Historical site is just around the corner. The staff and volunteers do a fabulous job at submersing visitors in the history of the area.(https://gastateparks.org/Wormsloe) You can’t visit here without exploring eclectic Savannah. If you want fresh seafood for your camp meal, I highly recommend Dubberly’s Seafood.(https://www.facebook.com/DubberlySeafood/) Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, the Stream2Sea Conscious Camper Kit surprised me with the effectiveness and quality. I work on a floating classroom for Chattahoochee RiverKeeper. I do“Protect What I Love”. I chose this company based on the name, alone, then was impressed to see that they are co-protectors and educators of our precious water resources. I found the sunscreen to be a little heavy on my sensitive skin, but it did not break me out, and it did protect. The Relief Gel works amazingly well, with only a dab. I have itching spells, and this gave me relief. I, also, used it on a bug bite, and it relieved it. The Shampoo& Bodywash smells terrific! I am allergic to fragrance, and this is natural fragrance. It has a tangerine smell. The only problem is that the aroma fades after it is rinsed out, which happens with natural aromas. It leaves my hair feeling fabulous and is not as fly-away as other products leave my hair. I don’t even need the Leave-In Conditioner that is equally as good.(https://stream2sea.com/product/conscious-camper-kit/)

I stayed in a back in site in camping area 2. I would call it big rig challenging w/the narrow road and tight-ish back in. I enjoyed the trails & observation tower as well as the cute little shop where you check in. My friend joined me over the weekend & her kids really liked the All About Bats presentation & the playground. Lots of deer & other wildlife to be seen. Shaded sites & mine was full hookup. Pet friendly & the laundry facility takes credit cards. They ended up renting a yurt which was cool. There are also cabins but we didn’t see those.

We love stopping here when passing through Georgia. The campground is quiet and the sites are well-maintained.

We have camped here twice now and absolutely love it here. Huge shady sites in beautiful Georgia Marshlands. Very close to downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. We will definitely be back!

My favorite campground...nestled in a maritime forest, the live oaks and Spanish moss, drip and dance around you, lending an air of romance and other- worldly feel.

Skidaway is on an island off Savannah Georgia, accessible over a causeway, that allows a view of the beautiful marsh and river topography. When in the campground, you feel miles away from downtown Savannah, and yet in 15 minutes you have access to the beautiful, and colorful city filled with great food, history, art and music.

This campground is well organized and the staff are proficient at their job.

There is shopping near and wonderful seafood restaurants within a short drive.

The coast of Georgia is a must to explore by boat. Wild islands and beautiful rivers abound.

We enjoyed the well-kept campground and explored the civil war fort which inspired discussions of Georgia’s history. Too hot to have an enjoyable hike, though. The park is located close to necessary needs - hardware and grocery stores. Check out Fish Tales on the Ogeechee River just outside the park.

Drove over by car from Hilton Head to check it out as a quick getaway. Georgia parks are very well kept with clean bathrooms and showers. Fort McAllister is one that is clean. But we found it primitive even though it has some full hookups with 50 Amps. Lots of shade and woodsy sites, but no water views and limited marsh views. Remote, no bike paths. Did not visit Historic Confederate park.

The park for camping is not well maintained.  We stayed on site 6 which is a new site, full hook up, nice marsh view. Grass was tall in many of the campsites and it was very buggy when we were there.  We did the tour of the fort and that was the highlight of our trip.  Highly recommend the tour. We also visited the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens and enjoyed that very much.  Love’s Seafood Restaurant for dinner is close by.

This is typical Georgia State Park with large sites and clean, well maintained grounds.  Our site was level and spacious. One thing we didn't expect, even in Savannah in December, was mosquitoes. 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, but since we didn't know what to expect, was a bit of a let down. This is not to say that the reenactors didn't do their part, they did. Maybe it was because the actual battle only lasted about fifteen minutes.

Tybee island is just outside of Savanna Georgia. Beautiful southern charm. On site pool, general store, bike ride to the beach or around the whole island -very private. Tour the light house and many other local activities. Campsite was soft white pebbles with beautiful historic trees. No see ums were a bit aggravating - this could just have been the time of year. Most people had screened in sitting areas. The bath houses were super clean and individual- nice size pool- great to relax in after a day at the beach. This was another great week of adventure for the books!!

Planned a trip with friends to Tybee Island Georgia, just outside Savannah.  It rained the first couple of days we were there, but still were Able to get out and enjoy the sites sounds and food.  Although sites are close together, the park offers , RV sites with full hook up, cabins, pool, beach access and laundry facilities.  Golf cart approved for whole island. The RV park is close to everything!

Just follow the signs to the path that takes you right to the beach. Spend a day basking in the sun, then come back to your RV to settle in for the evening.  There are really good seafood restaurants nearby, an ice cream shop you could walk to  and a cool little diner on the far end of the island that serves marvelous breakfast.  Shopping at stores showcasing local crafters near by.

If it’s beach and sun you want, look no further.  Nice, helpful staff make your stay very pleasant.
