Len Thomas RV Park & Campground is evenly sandwiched between Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC – two of the most amazing destination points in the entire South, with one representing historically significant points of interest, delectable restaurants providing the best southern comfort foodie delights along with maze-like cobblestone streets shadowed by ancient Oaks veiled in Spanish moss … with the other offering some of the most fantastic white-capped oceanside you’ll come across anywhere on the eastern seaboard with plenty of restaurants offering up fresh ocean catch and miles of pristine beaches to explore. 

Located just off Highway 315, you’ll discover this RV lot due northeast of Route 17, which is what you’ll need to take out of Savannah as you cross the Talmadge Memorial Bridge, which spans the Savannah River, and separates Georgia from South Carolina. Len Thomas RV Park & Campground is only about a 10 mile (25 minutes) sauntering drive from Savannah, dubbed ‘Hostess City of the South’ and 22 miles (40 minutes) to Hilton Head Island. 

You are so far out in the boondocks here that you won’t be bothered by the noise of passing by traffic, blaring horns and the hustle & bustle of the city. Len Thomas RV Park offers up a nice feeling of being out in nature, although the property itself is quite unremarkable apart from the nice perimeter of trees that will provide a good sense of privacy. Once inside of the property though, this small enclave is wide open exposing you to ALL of your would-be neighbors. You’ll snake around the place on some less-than-optimal pathways, so do be careful as there’s a handful of not-so-friendly potholes. There’s full length back-in (about 30 slots) and just a handful of pull-through sites (in the center of the singular loop) all with a decent concrete slab to rest your RV on with full-hook-ups (30 / 50 electrical amp, water, sewage). This is a pet-friendly campground with complimentary WiFi along with a designated dump area. 

There’s a handful of downsides here to note: (1) If you want to drop anchor here, the minimum is a month, but at $450/month, it’s fairly economical; (2) With a$150 (vs.$125) refundable security deposit applied to your electric bill and kilowatts being charged at$.13 ktw/hr (vs.$.11), it is slightly higher than its next door neighbor, Hardeeville, but as long as you don’t destroy anything while you’re staying there, you should be alright; and (3) Len Thomas RV Park doesn’t accept either credit or debit cards, so checks, cash or money orders are the only acceptable payment. By the way, when’s the last time you had to get a money order?! 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you find yourself needing to restock your pantries or coolers, there is both a Dollar General and Publix nearby, and further afield you can find a Sam’s Club and Walmart; (2) When you get tired of trying to figure out what’s next for dinner, head on over to nearby chicken lick'n or The Pink Pig, but if you’re looking for something more substantial and / or upscale, then no problems as you can head back to Savannah, which will have tremendous options, of which I highly recommend either Husk Savannah or Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room; (3) Infatuated with ice cream?! Then you won’t want to miss the best (and oldest) ice cream parlour in the entire South by paying a visit to Leopold’s – and do be sure to get a taste of the lemon custard or the rum bisque – simply OUTSTANDING!; (4) One of our most favorite places to visit in all of Savannah is Forsyth Park, which is centrally located in the city and provides for a great green spot to spread out a picnic blanket, take in the sun and cloud-gaze underneath the canopy of ancient Oaks just dripping with Spanish Moss; and (5) If you’re hauling watercraft and looking for a sweet spot to dip your starboard into? Then head on over to nearby Kingfisher Pond Recreation Area, where you’ll have to battle it out with all of the Lilly pads, but other than this, it’s an incredibly nice bit of water to practice your oaring in. 

Happy Camping!
