    River's End Campground & RV Park accepts pets at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots, and cabins. Located on Tybee Island just blocks from the beach, the campground provides easy access for pet owners wanting coastal recreation with their animals. Sites are shaded by large oak trees draped in Spanish moss, offering natural protection from the Georgia sun for pets. The campground maintains clean grounds with designated pet waste areas. Dogs must remain on leash throughout the property, including when walking to nearby North Beach access points. Sites are positioned relatively close together, but the campground atmosphere remains friendly for traveling pets.

    Walking paths connect the campground to pet-accessible beach areas within a half-mile distance. North Beach is less crowded than the main Tybee beaches, providing more comfortable space for leashed pets. The adjacent Jaycee Park offers additional green space for quick pet breaks. Skidaway Island State Park, located 20 miles inland, provides alternative pet-friendly camping with more spacious wooded sites and dedicated hiking trails for dogs. Little Tybee Island permits pets for primitive camping experiences with beach access, though accessing this undeveloped barrier island requires boat transportation. Summer temperatures on Tybee Island regularly exceed 90°F, requiring campers to monitor pet hydration and provide adequate shade. Veterinary services are available in Savannah, approximately 20 minutes from the campground.

      Skidaway Island State Park Campground

      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!

      Skidaway Island State Park Campground

      Beautiful shade

      Shaded 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.

      River's End Campground & RV Park

      Tight little city campground with amazing location

      This 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.

      Week at the beach

      Great 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!

      Skidaway Island State Park Campground

      One of our favorites

      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!

      River's End Campground & RV Park

      When you must go to the beach! Isn’t that always?

      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.

      River's End Campground & RV Park

      Great campground

      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.


    Guide to Tybee Island

    Camping options near Tybee Island range from barrier island primitive sites to full-service RV resorts. The coastal Georgia region features salt marshes, maritime forests, and tidal creeks with elevation typically less than 20 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures average 88-92°F with high humidity while winter lows rarely drop below 40°F, creating a nearly year-round camping season.

    What to do

    Kayak to Little Tybee Island: Access this undeveloped 6,000-acre barrier island for primitive camping with no facilities or services. "My girlfriend and I learned about Little Tybee Island while spending the day in Savannah on a road trip. We learned about it around 2pm; by 5pm we were on the water," shares camper Sho A. from Little Tybee Island Dispersed.

    Explore Civil War history: Fort McAllister State Park offers both camping and historical sites. "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," notes William N. from Fort McAllister State Park Campground.

    Fishing and wildlife viewing: Multiple water bodies offer fishing opportunities. "While standing on the dock we were able to watch dolphins swim and even saw some sting rays. The staff says that they often have manatees that come into the harbor for a visit," reports Robert N. about Hilton Head Harbor.

    What campers like

    Large wooded sites: Skidaway Island State Park features spacious campsites under live oaks. "We stayed at Skidaway Island State Park for 4 nights in May. Even though the park was full, 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," according to Zach H. from Skidaway Island State Park Campground.

    Proximity to attractions: Campgrounds offer convenient bases for exploring. "This 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!" writes Ashley A.

    Pool complexes: Some RV parks feature extensive water amenities. "The pool, lazy river, Tiki Bar and restaurant area was top quality, providing plenty of lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas, and free pool floats for the lazy river experience," notes RAYMOND from Hilton Head National RV Resort.

    What you should know

    Tidal considerations: When camping on barrier islands, tide tables dictate access. "Be extremely wary of the tides! Because of our lack of planning, the tide was low on our way there and on the way back. This means that we had to carry our kayak several feet up the sandbar to make sure that it would not be carried away in the night," warns Sho A.

    Site spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds offer more privacy than others. "From the add it looks close to the beach but it's not. The only nit is that its tight spots are close together," explains Tommy C. about River's End Campground & RV Park.

    Wildlife precautions: Coastal camping means sharing space with various wildlife. "There are absolutely no amenities here—you must pack in all water you will need as there is not water available for filtration, and there are no services, so all trash must be packed out. The tides are extreme so choose your campsite carefully, and check tide tables before kayaking in or out. The sun can be relentless and the winds can be strong, and there are also alligators, raccoons, and several species of venomous snake," warns a Little Tybee Island camper.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas. "This place is Great! I went there with my family about a month ago, they have hiking trails, bike trails, a nature center and plenty of room for kids to ride bikes. The camp sites are a great size and all of them are pretty close to a bath house," shares Marysa H. about Skidaway Island State Park.

    Educational opportunities: Incorporate learning into your trip. "Visiting with the horses, goats, and peacocks during our walks. Plus there are plentiful water birds to admire," notes Jaime W. about Red Gate Farms - RV Resort.

    Clean bath facilities: Many dog friendly campgrounds near Tybee Island offer well-maintained shower facilities. "Bathroom and shower were very clean and spacious. Close to downtown and walkable to beaches," shares Donald S. about River's End Campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Extended stay considerations: When planning longer visits, consider utilities and spacing. "Sites had full service hookups. Sites were level. Bathroom and shower were very clean and spacious," reports Donald S.

    Laundry access: For multi-week trips, laundry facilities matter. "The laundry here takes cards/tap and app pay which was great," shares Elizabeth E. about Skidaway Island State Park.

    Storage options: Some campgrounds offer additional services for RVers. "The valet and all the staff are very helpful," says keith F. about Hilton Head National RV Resort, which provides amenities for long-term visitors including storage areas.
