Best RV Parks & Resorts near Beaufort, SC

Located just due north and only about 20 minutes away from one of the most amazing southern urban destinations – Savannah – and 22 miles to one of the most coveted beaches on the entire eastern seaboard at Hilton Head, South Carolina, you’ll discover an off-the-beaten path, singular lane that offers up RV slots on either side of its pebble-strewn driveway. While you might enjoy the absolute simplicity of this pet-friendly RV hook-up joint, you likely will be very disappointed by the single dimensionality of this place where there are many more full-time residents than there are those overnight victims of wanderlust. That said, if you are looking for (the most) inexpensive place to park your mobile living room and don’t mind having ANY environmental aesthetics to contend with, then Bellinger Hill RV Park may be just for you! 

Again, there’s a single lane here, so you really have two options to choose from: (1) will I park right or left?; and (2) do I prefer to be near the entrance or as far back from it (and nearest the remote dump station – added bonus!) as possible? And if you simply don’t care or don’t have the option of choosing (as the place was pretty well jam packed when we stopped by for a visit), then whichever slot you select (or are given) then, you’ll be perfectly fine. For those that are thinking – I just need a place to plant my mobile house for a night or two and it really doesn’t matter, because I have a car (or Uber) that can take me into Savannah to enjoy the best of this southern urban charm without the hefty price tag, then great, this is the spot for you! 

Amenities: pet-friendly spaces everywhere, cable TV access, complimentary WiFi, back-in full-hook-up (30 / 50 electric, water, sewage), coin-operated laundry facilities, vending machines, designated dumpster, scattered trash bins and picnic tables. 

Insider’s Tips? Here’s a few: (1) Come hauling some form of watercraft and looking for a sweet spot to dip your starboard into? Then look no further than the Savannah River, which if you are staying near or at Bellinger Hill RV Park, then you would have had to come from Savannah to this spot via the single lane highway 17, and just shortly after passing the second fork of the Savannah River, then head east (it’s simple as it will be your first right after getting off the bridge), where you’ll find no fewer than a dozen perfect spots to launch your kayak or canoe; (2) If you’d like to explore the amazing coastline in and around Savannah, check out little Tybee Island, which is a gem destination of Georgia’s barrier islands and is only a 20 minute drive from Red Gate Campground; (3) When you get tired of thinking about planning and preparing for that next meal, you’re in great luck because … you’re only 20 minutes from the foodie capital of Georgia and have so many southern-inspired haute cuisine legends like Cotton & Rye, The Grey and Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room; (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) 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! 

Happy Camping!

We found this campground well maintained and quiet. The bath house was recently remodeled and now has air conditioning. I found it to be one of the nicest bath facilities we have ever used. The campsites have full RV hook-ups and come with a picnic table and fire ring. The park does allow pets and has a dog park with a beach; it seems like the pups were having a marvelous time playing chase on the beach.This is a County Park with trails for walking or leisure biking. A new water park is under construction and should open this summer. The camp store is well stocked and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One downside was the WIFI (one of the perks at this place) did not work the entire 5 days we were there. I need to work remotely so this was a BIG problem. I had to go to the Starbucks to work...bummer! Positives were the easy drive and parking at nearby Folly Beach during the week, and the close proximity to Historic Charleston.

We were able to book a week at this brand new RV resort. The sites are HUGE 70ft long 20ft wide, full hook ups with a state of the art Eaton control pedestal for your water, cable and electric connections. 341 sites, multiple swimming pools, lazy river, arcade, work out gym, concierge service, restaurants, bar with screened in TV room for those playoff games, on site chef with amazing food, escorted staff to your site, a HUGE dog park with three pet wash stations, laundry facilities like no other, plenty of walking trails well done guys, golf course next door and will be included in your stay from what I was told, buddy sites, adults only section kids free. Shopping, restaurants and beach with in minutes from this resort. Top notch and a must visit for everyone, book now!

First of all, Sunshine RV Park is VERY MUCH in business! We stayed here for a month during September 2024. What has happened… the original owner William L.“Bill” Bruner passed June 2022 and now his grandson Michael Bruner is running Sunshine RV Park LLC. We stayed here 20 yrs ago and much has changed and for the better. Sunshine RV Park now has about 70 level concrete RV sites. The RV sites are about 65 ft in length of which 50 ft is poured concrete with a concrete patio. We have a 45ft motorcoach and we fit on our site just fine. All of the sites have 50/30/15 amp electric, water(good tasting/good pressure) and sewer. No problems with electric voltage even in the hot Georgia summertime. And new concrete sites are being added at this time. Lots of area to add more RV sites. Michael is doing a great job as the new owner of Sunshine RV Park. Michael manages the RV park full-time and has help. Someone to cut grass/weed trimming around the RV sites and someone to pick up any trash and help maintain the RV Park. RV sites are being improved ongoing. We use T-Mobile and get a consistent 550-600 mbps down and 10-15 mbps up speeds. With T-Mobile we achieved 5GUC 2-3 bars the majority of the time at the RV Park. We also have a T-Mobile 4G hot spot and achieved speeds of 15-20 mpbs down and 5-15 mbps up. No problems streaming at all. 

Sunshine RV Park is big rig friendly. No rocks to navigate around and no overhead tree limbs to worry about. Plenty of room between RV’s. All of the sites are back-in except one site which is pull-thru. Sunshine RV Park is pet friendly and has lots of grass for your pet. Just make sure to pick-up after your pet, keep them on a leash at all times and no disturbing of neighbors by your pet. All commonsense rules to live by. Now let me say this… Sunshine RV Park has mostly long-term contract area workers. Advance reservations are needed to stay at Sunshine RV Park. Rif-raff is not tolerated at all by the owner, and it is very quiet here after dusk. I would say that about 60 of the 70 sites are long-term RV’ers. This being said, if you are a traveler and are looking for someplace in the Savannah area to stay, consider Sunshine RV Park IF you want to stay for 1 to 4 weeks or more. You must have a self-contained RV– no tenters. No playground/swimming pool or other RV resort amenities here, but you are only 7 miles to the Savannah Historic District, a 7-minute drive to Kroger grocery and CVS/Walgreens or a 10-minute drive to a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Lots and lots of fantastic area restaurants to choose from that feature great southern-style cooking! Sunshine RV Park is a safe and quiet(an occasional jet flying overhead) place to park your RV as it’s in a residential area. On Sunshine Avenue is the Georgia Public Safety Training Center- a training complex for all Georgia state and local public safety agencies. The Garden City Public Library, the Police/Fire Dept/EMS are all less than a mile from the RV Park. The owner’s home is next to Sunshine RV Park, and he drives around the RV Park to ensure its safety. Amazon local delivery, Wal-Mart grocery local delivery, UPS and FedEx all serve Sunshine RV Park as we had deliveries from all four during our stay. There is a farmers’ market at Forsyth Park every Saturday year-round from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM featuring a variety of farm goods and prepared foods. We did encounter a minor problem with USPS mail. USPS does not deliver to this address unless you register with the Post Office prior to receiving postal mail. To have our USPS postal mail received, we used Post Office General Delivery Service and picked up our mail at the Savannah Post Office downtown. The Savannah Visitor Center on MLK is a great resource to help plan your area adventure. Savannah is a walking town. Savannah has squares and parks, and these are the community's most beloved icons. Originally designed with 24 squares, 22 remain today to be enjoyed by the millions who walk these grassy utopias every year. If I was to mention a negative, driving down Sunshine Ave. we did encounter some tree branches. No damage to our RV but do drive slowly. Sunshine Ave. is only a half-mile long street and the RV park is on the left side at the end of the street. The RV Park’s office has a large sign on it with the address and phone number of Sunshine RV Park. We truly enjoyed our 1 month stay here at Sunshine RV Park and absolutely enjoyed our visit to beautiful and historical Savannah, Georgia. We hope the information we have provided will help you plan your visit to Savannah.

Update- I had given a copy of our review of Sunshine RV Park to the owner about a week prior to a departure. Michael had read that I had commented on our encounter of some tree branches along Sunshine Ave. and trimmed them back nicely! Even trimming tree branches of private property owners who's homes border Sunshine Ave. IMO, this owner truly cares about this business.

This RV park is a basic very basic RV park. Although they offer full hook up it’s very marginal. I would suggest not getting a site in the front of the park since it’s close to a very highly traveled road and noisy. I would probably try another campground if I were to travel to Savanna again.

Most sites are concrete with full hookups. Its a new campground so they are still getting a the amenities operational. Close to the interstate and Savannah. Be careful of GPS directions as they try to put you down a dirt/narrow road before the "real" entrance. I would definitely stay again. Thank goodness I didn't see any long term sites so it was nice for a change.

Wonderful RV resort. We had to book it last minute once hurricane Ian took out the RV resort we were suppose to stay at up in Myrtle Beach. The check in was super easy. The RV resort is beautiful, wonderfully landscaped and close to many of the island amenities. While the lots are close together, most are landscaped in a way that provides plenty of privacy. Wood burning fires are not allowed. The pool is heated during the cooler month as and chilled in the summer. We had a blast and will absolutely be back. This will most likely be an annual

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.

This was our first RV experience and it did not disappoint. Staff friendly and very nice. Activities for young and old in the gated RV resort. Be sure and arrive by the their latest arrival time or you may have to hook up outside the gate. Very wooded and would like to escort you to your campsite prior to it getting dark at the park.

This is a quiet little park. Super close to 95 so if your traveling and belong to Thousand Trails it’s a super easy stop for a night or two.

This RV Resort was kept pristine and the staff is amazing! I’ve never been to a resort with such helpful employees at every turn! We will be returning!

This park is quiet and calm even when it’s busy. There are sites near the salt marshes that offer little to no shade and there are sites away from them that have more shade. The bathrooms are clean and nice with laundry facilities. All sites are pull through with full hook-ups for RVs/trailers. The campground has a short walking trail through the woods while there is another back at the main park. You can also launch boats and kayaks directly from the campground but beware of strong currents and winds if kayaking (be sure to get tidal charts and a map from the checkin desk if you’re adventurous enough to go exploring far). Staying at the campground offers you half price admission to the Fort and museum which is worth visiting. We saw several deer roaming around the campground as well.

We have stayed at this park many times. As the park has been for sale for the past five years, the owners are not putting any resources into the park. The park is looking old and not as maintained as in the past. The pool is very dirty and was not cleaned the whole three weeks we were there.(There was a black dirt ring around the pool edge the whole time). Staff(other than Cory) are not friendly at all. They do not wave when driving by in the golf cart, or greet you when you enter the office. The grass used to be beautiful grass. It is now mostly all clover so lots of bees. Cost is$70 a night with a Good Sam discount. One issue is if you are coming from US 17 eastbound, you will need to make a left-hand turn into the driveway through heavy traffic congestion. The sites are large and are not on top of each other. The park has full hook ups and has pull thru and back in sites. The sites are large and are not on top of each other. Our site had a concrete pad but the concrete pad was broken up into large pieces of concrete which makes it hard to level.

Beautiful RV resort for motor coaches. Beautiful landscaping. Each pad has its own style of landscaping rather than a cookie cutter mold. Lovely to walk around. Very dog friendly. Lots of recreation features. Has a dog wash for after going to the beach. Staff extra helpful and attentive.

The sites themselves are fairly basic, but it's a good deal for full hookups, and the park area is all very nice. Staff are some of the nicest and friendliest people we've ever met working an RV park! Would absolutely stay here again

Family owned RV campground with full hook-ups and a food truck on the property! We were there on a Thursday evening and had delicious chicken street tacos. Easy to get in and out of the campground with our 28 foot travel trailer. Pull thru, level sites. Peaceful location surrounded by trees. You can hear the birds chirping and the neighbor's rooster while you sit outside enjoying the morning sun. All the sites have 20, 30 and 50 amp power, and a water hook up. The plumbing at each site is housed in whiskey barrels which we thought was a clever idea. Most sites had sewer as well. We had a picnic table and fire ring at our site also. Our Verizon phones worked fine with 4G, two bars. The campground is new, and small(16 sites) which we liked. The owners have plans to add activities and events in the near future but it currently has everything an RV camper would need. They were working on an axe throwing building and an activity area for kids when we were there. It's in a great location for exploring Summerville or Charleston, or for spending the day at one of the many nearby beaches. They offer a discount if staying a week which is wonderful since there is so much to do in the nearby towns.

Where I come from THE Biltmore is arguably one of the grandest dame hotels in the entire country, so pristine and regal that from the moment you arrive until the sad instance you have to leave, you have been transformed by a world of opulence and luxury that is not easily found or replicated. So when I see any reference to the unique moniker of Biltmore, my head snaps. With this in mind, my first impression of Biltmore RV Park is that it has obviously borrowed a name referencing luxury in order to apply that equity to its own, very mediocre (at best) offering. While certainly a roadside RV stand to be sure, there is no opulence here to be experience at Biltmore RV Park, so don’t let the naming of this place fool you. 

That said, if you do find yourself in or near arguably the best little city in the entire South (that would be Savannah, GA y’all!) and are in need of a spot to park your over-sized mobile living room for the night (or for many) and cringe at the thought of trying to park your way into a narrow slot overwhelmed on every side by the unsightly scenes or ghastly noise from the very metropolis you are seeking to escape, then look no further than Biltmore RV Park, which to be clear, while we continue on with the naming rights point, does NOT have a park. The subject of ‘Park,’ I would argue, is so much less descriptive of the place and much more accurate in describing the shift position you will have to place your RV or hauling truck in order to come to a complete stop and place your mobile living room stationary… or, in ‘Park.’ :-)

As for this RV parking lot itself, you’ll find yourself located southwest of Savannah on Highway 17, wherein Biltmore RV Park is one part RV resting place and another half antique store mall. In all, there’s about 30 RV sites to choose from, of which I highly recommend either those that are furthest away from the nearby highway and against the treeline (sites: #11 - 14, 34, 38, 17 and 18) or those that are on the inside circle (sites: #7 - 10). So yes, you really can have it all – pull-through and back-in RV slots with full hook-ups (30/ 50 electric amp, water, sewage), satellite-friendly, complimentary WiFi, dog walking service and decent shade (which should be highly prized here in the Savannah area). This is a place that doesn’t come with much in the way and shape or form of amenities, but if you prize proximity (to Savannah) and price (quite economical), then look no further than Biltmore RV Park, which does provide a very nice landscaped spot to rest for the night without all the ‘bells& whistles’ that normally you would be paying a decent premium for. And if that is what you are looking for, then drive 5 minutes from here and stay at Red Gate Campground, which will offer you many more amenities, but will ask you to pay a bit more for it, in exchange. 

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you’d like to explore the amazing coastline in and around Savannah, check out little Tybee Island, which is a gem destination of Georgia’s barrier islands and is only a 20 minute drive from Biltmore RV Park; (2) When you get tired of thinking about planning and preparing for that next meal, you’re in great luck because you have so many nearby options of either traditional comfort food chain restaurants (think Bojangle’s, McDonald’s, Zaxby’s), authentic Southern joints like Sweet Potatoes Kitchen, Barnes Restaurant, Betty Bombers or Southern-inspired Haute Cuisine legends like Cotton& Rye, Grey & Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room; (3) Come hauling kayak or canoe and want to get your watercraft a bit wet, well look no further than nearby Salt Creek Park, which will let you access a fairly shallow creek, but nonetheless enjoyable; and (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. 

Happy Camping!

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!

Full hook-ups, a short waking trail and access to the river.

Limited internet/ cell (call that a plus or minus, you decide)
