As part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, Skidaway Island State Park is nearly 600 acres of maritime forest, tidal creeks, and salt marshes nestled between the Skidaway River and the housing developments of The Landing. The park’s main draw is its lush coastal woods of live oaks, red cedars, and pines dripping with Spanish moss, which, in turn, is home for a variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and a variety of shorebirds. Many of the park’s flora and fauna can be seen on a network of 6 miles of walking trails and boardwalks. Some trails are ADA accessible, and some are also open to cyclists. For your best chance at spying a resident alligator, go for a stroll on the 2-mile Big Ferry Trail. Visitors to Skidaway Island State Park, just a 10-mile drive southeast of Savannah, have access to nearly 90 tent and RV campsites, in addition to 3 camper cabins and 3 group campsites. All sites offer electrical hookups, and some are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include restrooms with showers, bike rentals, picnic areas, two playgrounds, laundry facilities, and an interpretive center. There is also an amphitheater that hosts seasonal interpretive programs. A hiking trail from the campground leads to an observation tower that overlooks the Skidaway Narrows, where you can scan for egrets and osprey. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins swimming up the waterway. Campsite rates range from $40–$49/night; cabins range from $42–$140/night.
$40 - $49 / night

The campground is beautiful and well-maintained. The area is convenient to downtown Savannah and not too far from Tybee Island. There are some easy nature trails we really enjoyed. This is where we will stay in the future when visiting Savannah!
GuideShaded by old moss dripping live oaks, lots of birds, walking paths and a small museum. This park is clean and well maintained with large campsites and lots of privacy. Close to downtown Savannah, yet so wooded you would never know. Also not far from Tybee Island and the Fort Pulaski National Monument.
There are cabins available, as well as primitive tent sites. RV sites are mostly pull through with water, electric and some sewer. The RV dump is clean and also well maintained. There is recycling, that always warms my heart and is hard to find when traveling! The wash rooms and toilets are clean. The are coin operated washers and dryers.
RangerWe 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!
TravelerLarge pull thru campsites, Tybee Island and Savannah near by!
Traveler
Beautiful park! Great service! Close to Savannah shopping, Tybee Island, or never leave the park, enjoy the scenery, playgrounds and nature itself!
Scout
Nice campground on Tybee Island. Great location, clean facilities, good sized pool. Most spots are nicely shaded by beautiful live oaks and pines. Around 3/4 mile walk to beach.
ScoutWent tent camping here. Area was clean and cared for. Bathrooms were single-person (private) with showers in each of them. All very clean. Tybee Island is peaceful and beautiful.
GuideTybee 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!!
TravelerMy wife and I stayed for three nights in early May. Tybee Island is near Savannah Ga and is the closest Atlantic side beach to Atlanta. River's End is a short walk to North Beach and very well run. We were guided to a shaded drive through spot near one other camper.
The surface was fine gravel. Like most campgrounds near the beach the sites are relatively small. We had no problem with our 22 foot trailer. Experienced drivers of larger RV's will be OK. The staff is helpful and friendly.
We visited the pool - advertised as the largest on Tybee Island but spent most of our time at the beach. There are bike lanes around the island and kayaking is fun on the back river.
Savannah is about 30 minutes away on HWY 80. There is much history and charm. We visited Forsyth Park and the riverfront.
We would definitely stay again.
TravelerOn tybee island. 3 blocks from beach, lighthouse. 2 blocks from backorder beach. Well maintained. Some of the sites are tight. They choose your site based on your size camper. Large pool, laundry. Everything on Tybee is easy to get to either biking or walking. Staff are super friendly and helpful.
GuideThis was an exceptional park! So well-maintained throughout. The trees are beautiful and the sites are spacious. Hot showers. Close to Savannah and Tybee Island. Verizon worked well. Good hiking trails. We will return!
Suggestions: Have quarters available in office for washer/dryer. One more dump station might be good. Found standing water around dump station.
ScoutWe did a family trip to Tybee Island in March 2017, this was a really clean place. The tent sites are large and neat, the place will deliver ice and firewood to the camp sites when ordered. They have great laundry and clean showers. The beach is only a few blocks away (which was good for walking). We will definitely be going back soon.
GuideThis great little park is nestled into a residential area on Tybee Island. It has all the amenities of a big campground, pool , pavilion, laundry , cabins,full hookups and a cool little general store. Unfortunately for us it was rainy and 40° when we pulled in and it was off season on the island so there wasn't much open. I will be back during the IN season
RangerWe went here for the first extended trip in our new RV and loved it! Gorgeous park with all of the oak trees and Spanish Moss. The camp sites were spacious and level. Some of the cleanest and nicest bath houses I’ve ever seen. The bike trails and hiking trails are unreal and everything is so nice. Very close to Savannah and Tybee Island. We will definitely be back!
GuideThis state Park keeps a very nice huge campground. It is well maintained. Our site was next to a new bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and restrooms. The sites are very spacious with a tent pads, picnics tables and a fire ring. They have full service sites and water/electric sites as well as tent sites. Dump station available as well. A very quiet and dark campground 25 minutes to Savannah, 30 minutes to Tybee Island.
GuidePlanned 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.
GuideTrip taken June 2018. Still pregnant. So this park is cute and very convenient to the beach and the main stretch of Tybee. It is tucked away in a little neighborhood with a lot of rental homes. As far as I can remember, everyone was nice. I also liked that the showers were individual rooms with a toilet. So you could take care of all yo biz in peace. Complaints: very small lots, ours had a lot of sunshine for most of the day. If I was a bigger fan of Tybee Island in general I might come back but I’m more of a gulf girl.
GuideStayed at Site 77 for 2 full weeks.
25 minutes to the historic district of Savannah, GA, 40 minutes to Tybee Island beach and about 1hr15min to Hilton Head Island.
AT&T service = 1-2 bars Verizon service = 3 bars
WiFi is available ONLY in Visitors Center.
The bathhouses were always very clean and we were able to walk the trails several times while here.
This is a great and affordable way to stay near Savannah in an awesome GA State Park
Our only complaint is that the roads are very narrow, have many roots pushing up the pavement, and the roads are barely wide enough for a truck/camper let alone the fact that they are NOT one way roads.

LegendArrived here for a four-night tent stay. Easy drive in from Tomoka State Park up I-95. Got the last spot at #62 which is very large and has a large tent pad. The electric and water hookups are on the edge of the street, so I had to use both the 75 and 25 foot extension cords to give power to the tent. There's a fire pit and a large picnic table. The restrooms are clean, as well as the laundry room. The dumpster and recycling bin are a bit far from 62, so bring your bicycle, lol. Deer were roaming the grounds in the early morning. Lots of birds singing at sunrise too. Great place. The 45-min drive up to Tybee Island Beach is totally worth it, with beautiful marshes and flatlands along the way. Beach photos included here.
LegendThis campground was on Tybee Island, which was a plus for us. We were really looking forward to camping close to the ocean, this is just half a mile from the ocean. The campground itself is mostly an RV campground. They did have a handful of tent sites, which is where we were. They had a pool that my kids really enjoyed after dark, it didn't close until 10 pm. They enjoyed the close proximity to the ocean during the day. We also enjoyed that we could bike anywhere on the island. My littlest two biked all over the campground. We met some of the friendliest people there as well. There was also a local seafood stand where we got fresh shrimp and other fish. It was well worth the venture out. We had a fire pit, picnic table and a grill. We would definitely go back.
TravelerThis was our very first camping trip (2 adults, 2 kids & a Lab.) We arrived to friendly service & easily found our site (#6.) The tent sites are right on the water, which is home to swans, ducks, turtles & possibly gators too! The sandy pad for our tent was perfect, very level & comfortable. There was plenty of room for our big screened canopy, picnic table, chairs & fire ring. The views from the lake were wonderful & t made waking up to see the sunrise worth it every day.
This campground is about 30mins from Savannah & Tybee Island - both of which we visited & enjoyed.
The bathhouse & general store were very clean & located a short walk from the tent sites. There is also a playground & pool. The campground was quiet, we had no issues at all.
We will definitely be returning soon!
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.
LegendWe had a great site a pull thru facing the woods. Site # 75 it had water and electric hook up, cable, picnic table, cement pad and a fire pit. There are some full hook up sites in the park if you want full hook up. Great place to stay!
We could walk to several hikes in the park from our site. The ferry trail goes along the water and Sandpiper trail it was nice had a picnic table, a bench and beautiful driftwood.
We hiked the Ferry trail too this was awesome. There are several old stills back there it was a moonshiners paradise. There were old oyster shells along the way where the native Americans lived way back when. There is an observation tower at the river/salt marsh the trail along the water is nice and has some history markers.
We put the kayak in across the HWY from the park and kayaked back towards the park. Do watch the tides when it goes out you could be hi and dry.
Tybee Island is close by we spent an afternoon there during the Pirate Fest in October.
We went to Fort Pulaski it is worth going to see. If you walk the outside wall you can still see mortar in the bricks. There’s cannons, and neat things to see there.
We loved this campground and would return.
GuideRiver’s End Campground is the perfect location for enjoying the North Beach area of Tybee Island. The campground is a“city” campground, but the location gives off a more relaxed beach/island vibe. All the employees were very friendly and helpful, especially the guys in golf carts, who escorted new arrivals and helped all around. The gentleman who escorted us to our site and helped back me in did an amazing job, knowing exactly where to get me situated. One of the best back-in assists I’ve ever had.
The campground is not large, but has a variety of pull through, back-in, pull-in, full hookups, and tent sites available. Most of the sites appeared very level and were average in size. Yes, they are close together, but didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Many of the sites have some shade, except 142-145. Our site(43) was level, spacious, and perfectly located in the center of the campground.
The swimming pool was a nice size and well maintained. The camp store had a nice variety of souvenirs, supplies, ice and water.
The location of the campground is what makes it ideal. It’s a short walk/bike ride to two beach access points (North Beach by the lighthouse and River Beach). Nearby are several restaurants and coffee shops, without having lots of touristy stores/vibes around. That is more of the south part of the island. The overall relaxing feel and location of the campground makes it one of our top beach stays!

I’ve never “glamped” before, so I can’t comment much from that perspective. It is not a “luxury” spot. But for us it was better than that because it was fun, comfortable and easy.
About 15 minutes from Ridgeland proper with stores, dining, etc, Stonewood Farm is tucked away in the pines a short dirt road drive off a 2 lane highway.
Kim, the host, is friendly and helpful. She gave us a tour of the farm and introduced us to the animals.
Bring a bag of carrots for the horses.
My son loved the animals and exploring.
The tent/cabin is wood framed with wood and canvas walls. The mattress on the queen bed was awesome. But you will want to spend most of your time outside under the stars and by the fire pit. The area is dark, so good star gazing.
I took pictures of the kitchen items provided.
Great stay. Thanks!
TravelerWe 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.
