Best Tent Camping near Tybee Island, GA

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.

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!

Went 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.

We 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.

This 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.

River's End- Camping right by Tybee lighthouse and beach. This place seems geared towards RVs and campers, but I go there for the tent camping. Tent sites weren't super clearly demarcated, just kind of a zone on one side of the grounds. There has always been plenty of room (I've mostly been there in the summer) and it's about a 2 minute walk to Tybee lighthouse and beach! I'm pretty sure I paid less to camp here than people pay for a day of parking at the lighthouse just down the road. :) The gorgeous Savannah River delta is on the northern side of the campground and looks tempting for a swim, but it turns out it's the 3rd most polluted river in the country- so maybe pass on the swim -_- Easy access to shops, gas station, bars if that's your scene.

We camped at Hunting Island over a long weekend and had a great time. We were in a 30 foot 5th wheel and stayed in site 95. In my opinion it was one of the best sites there. Nice size and lots of vegetation surrounding. The beach was just over the dunes. We couldn’t see the beach or ocean from our site but it was just a short walk away. The store was well stocked and people were very friendly. The tent sites looked very nice and if I was still tent camping I’d definitely be happy with the accommodation. They are also easier access to the beach. We had water and electric at our site. Two Dump stations available and were easy in and out. Bathhouse in each area was nice and clean. We visited Beaufort and fell in love with the cute town! Lots of water view restaurants to choose from. From the nature center we explored the path to the boneyard and was glad we took the 15 minute walk out there. Enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!

This 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.

This is a good sized park with a good bit to do. There are meandering walking trails through the woods. There's the beach. There's the lighthouse, which is very blustery uptop, and quite a lot of stairs to get there. There are some historical museum type things around the lighthouse. Giftshop and hotdogs on the beach. The volunteers were great here--nice, helpful, funny.

Camping, especially tent camping, is just inland of the dunes. There's no water or power at tent sites. There were a million RVs and it was pretty loud with generators even though we were somewhat separated. It was also Spring Break season, so that lends to crowds.

There were lot of solo campers here, I guess due to being on the East Coast and perhaps a good road trip stop over for a night's stay. However, we actually didn't get to stay the night day two! It was so windy (no rain or storm) that there was no way we could sleep there. Taking down our tent and putting everything away while being blown sideways was exhausting. Only one tent camper remained when we left, and they were actually working with a hammock-station wagon combo. Off we went to a hotel and dinner in Beaufort, which is a nice, sleepy, old town on the water.

River’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!

Tent camped here for a long weekend. Staff was very nice. Bathrooms were very clean. Close to beach. Will stay again.

Very well established with a lot of amenities and nice hiking trails. I thought $50 for tent camping was a bit too pricy though.

Edisto has a beach camping area and a wooded area. The option for RV or tent camping without all the excessive price.

Tent sites were very clean. Restrooms and showers were well cared for. Access to the beach and town was quick and easy.

There is access to gorgeous views and awesome activities. Small hiking trails and bike trails make this a great place for families. Restrooms are available at the campsites, as well as stoves and sand areas for tents. RV and tent camping available!

Clean sites and facilities. Quiet atmosphere. We stayed at the walk in tent sites and they were very nice.

Very clean and friendly to campers and tents. Easy access to beach via a short walk. Tent sites are level and easy set up. Full bath house with showers! Everything was clean and easy for our memeorial day weekend 2018.

I am a tent camper, and they have separate tent camping sites. I enjoyed the amenities, especially the pool and the River Room, where I could enjoy AC and work on my computer until 10pm (I was here during the hot/humid season). Also close enough to the beach you can walk, or there is a pay parking lot.

Organized campsites on pristine barrier island near Beaufort SC. Accessible via bridge. Tent camping and RV sites. Several rustic trails . Literally can camp next to the beach. There is a historic lighthouse and grounds  there a available for tours. Across the channel from Fripp Island.

We spent one night at a tent site. The amenities (bathrooms and showers) we very clean. Very busy. On Easter weekend, there was only one empty site. Most campers seem to be in RVs.the neighbors were nice and Edisto Beach was very clean and the people were so welcoming and friendly.

We love this spot for a spring get away before the heat and bugs are bad. We prefer the walk in tent sites close to the beach. Bathhouses are immaculate and recently remodeled. Camp store is super convenient. Gorgeous unspoiled beach. Great campground for the kids to bike around. Also a few trails to bike or hike to the lighthouse.

A great state park campground between Savannah and Tybee. We car camped with a tent, site was nice and level on sand. Big trees with Spanish moss all around. The bathrooms were big and clean. The park itself is well kept, with great kayaking. Very convenient to Savannah and Tybee both. We also went to Ft. Pulaski during our visit, and it was great. Highly recommend this campground when in Savannah!

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!
