GuideMilo and I arrived kinda late. I had a quick dehydrated meal and a quick look around with my thermal monocular.
I thought the site were kinda close for a state park. Not my kinda place. We were only passing through.
GuideWe love the Live oaks campground in Edisto Beach State Park. Level sites with plenty of privacy. We are in site 120 this trip and we have stayed in sites 118 and 122 on previous trips. these sites back onto the salt marsh which gives you some incredible scenery just behind the site
GuideWe really enjoyed our stay at Red Gate Farms RV Resort. It’s a lovely place with a peaceful, country atmosphere, yet conveniently located just a short distance from downtown Savannah. A great spot to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.
One of the biggest bonuses is the Old Town Trolley service, which picks you up at the resort at 9 AM, takes you into downtown Savannah, and brings you back at 4 PM. What a fantastic way to explore the city without having to worry about driving, parking, or navigating the busy streets!
The setting is beautiful, with plenty of open space and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it feel like you’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you’re visiting Savannah in an RV, Red Gate Farms is definitely worth considering. You get the best of both worlds — a peaceful place to stay and easy access to everything this historic city has to offer. We’d happily stay here again!
ScoutPull through sites very accommodating. Trees need trimming. Roads very narrow.
TravelerWe had a great visit. We are self-contained in our Van so we didn’t have to use the facilities. The site was secluded and we were told we were welcome to walk around. He also let us know that if we wanted, we could use the sewer on one of the other sites that wasn’t being used.Also he gave us free firewood very welcoming and friendly. Definitely going back.
RangerI stopped here briefly on my way north because it was convenient to 95. I was a little frustrated at arrival because the office was closed early and I was never given a site number. Thankfully somebody was able to get me sorted. The site itself was nice and spacious. All of the amenities looked new ans clean. Someone in the park left out a large dog that barked all night. Hopefully those scenarios aren't the norm.
ScoutThe campsite has a great space. Bathroom, and laundry were nice and clean.
LegendJust a short drive SE of downtown Savannah, Skidaway Island SP Campground offers a peaceful escape immersed in marshes, maritime forests, and Spanish moss-draped live oaks. Set along Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, the park feels remote while still easily accessible not just to civilization, but arguably one of the greatest little cities in the entire South, making it perfect for folks who want to grab a pristine slice of nature without having to sacrifice comfort and / or quick access to shops, restaurants and more salt water taffy shops on the Savannah riverfront than you can imagine.
The campground hosts some 87 tent, trailer and RV sites, many of which include water and electric hookups (usually 30/50 amp), and about 17 premium spots with full hookups. Sites are gravel, shaded, and include a picnic table, fire ring and grill making it ideal for gathering around the campfire. On-site you’ll find incredibly well-kept and clean restrooms with flush toilets, hot showers, a laundry room, dump station and an excellent CG store near the front of the property (near the entrance) for staples like firewood, snacks, ice and souvenirs. There are 3 yurts that the SP will rent you offering enhanced comfort with A/C, heat, kitchens, bathrooms and screened porches - perfect for those seeking a bit more luxury. Pets are allowed in campsites but not in the cabins. Additional features include three pioneer group campsites, a group shelter, laundry facilities, playgrounds and even outdoor fitness equipment with Wi-Fi available at the park office.
What sets Skidaway Island apart from other SPs is, yes, its proximity to an exquisite city, but very much so, the wildlife you'll discover here with deer, fiddler crabs, raccoons and egrets being frequent sightings, which you’ll encounter while experiencing the six miles of hiking trails weaving through salt marsh and maritime forest. The boardwalk and observation tower over the Skidaway Narrows offer scenic glimpses of birdlife and nature. Engaging ranger programs, geocaching and an interpretive center deepen the experience. While close enough to Savannah, if you are not familiar with the area, you should definitely check out Tybee Island (about 30–40 minutes away) to easily combine camping with beach day-trips.
Insider Tips? Oh yeah, I’ve got quite a few for you: (1) For big rigs, book one of the premium full-hookup pull-through sites as they’re roomy and easier to access, although the low-hanging Spanish moss can be tricky to maneuver but will give you tons of shade and creates a peaceful vibe; (2) Even if you’re not staying in a yurt, stop by and check them out as they’re very well made, cozy and well-equipped; (3) Take the Big Ferry and Marsh Trail to the observation tower for sunrise or sunset wildlife viewing where you’ll be richly rewarded, but be sure to bring either that double-walled thermos of coffee for early AM sipping or that cocktail shaker set pre-loaded with your favorite elixir for proper sun-downers; (4) One of the biggest ‘pro tips’ I could give anyone coming to Skidaway is LOAD UP ON FIREWOOD *** BEFORE *** you arrive as every imaginable place that sells firewood within a 20 mile radius was completely out – and while the CG store has a firewood box in front of the store, it was either always locked or out of wood by the time we stopped by; (5) Another huge ‘pro tip’ is given the very close proximity to Publix, which is literally right outside the CG, you don’t really need to load up your coolers too much as you can simply go there whenever you need something, so let Publix keep your supplies cool and save yourself some packing!; (6) Beware of ant infestations – the little guys were literally EVERYWHERE, so I was grateful that I remembered to pack 1 can of ant spray from another bad camping experience, so we sprayed a perimeter around our tent and we were fine; (7) You will also want to be mindful that the black-eyed furry bandits (racoons) were INCREDIBLY aggressive and would actually come straight up to our picnic table and grab things WHILE WE WERE EATING and tried to run away with our bags, food and even a small pot!; and (8) When you grow weary of conjuring up that next meal from your cooler and want to try out some local fare, these are some nearby joints I'd recommend: Castaways, Sandfly BBQ where you’ll want to definitely gnosh on the smoked chicken, baked beans and cole slaw, Crystal Beer Parlor for old school cheesburger’s in a century’s old grocery store and Loc’s Chicken & Waffles, but if you want something truly transformation, venture into Savannah for fantastic dining at The Grey with its sizzlin’ smoking pig and Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House for succulent fried chicken – both of which require advance reservations and likely a better outfit than the one you might be camping in – and finish an excellent bit of dining with some of the best ice cream in the universe over at Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor.
Happy Camping!
GuideNice staff, within an hour to Charleston and Savanna.
RV campgrounds in Bluffton, South Carolina serve as convenient bases for exploring coastal South Carolina and nearby Georgia. Positioned within the Lowcountry region at an elevation of just 30 feet above sea level, the area experiences humid subtropical conditions with mild winters and hot, humid summers. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity levels making evening camping more comfortable than daytime activities.
Kayak the Savannah River: Launch points near Hardeeville provide access to the waterway. "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," notes a visitor.
Walk through Spanish moss: The area's oak trees create distinctive landscapes. "We love this campground. Sites are close together but who cares when your there for the beach. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Grounds are clean and kept. 2 blocks from north beach. Downside is having to pay for parking passes," remarks a visitor to River's End Campground & RV Park.
Farm visit opportunities: Some campgrounds offer agricultural experiences. "This is a beautiful farm of 200 acres situated 5 minutes from downtown Savannah. Everything you could ask for: pool, ponds, horseback riding, goats, beautiful landscaping, room to roam or play," shares a camper at Heirloom Hamlet.
Pet amenities: Many RV parks have dedicated facilities for four-legged campers. "We did take our Maltese and he ended up needing a bath so my girls took him to the dog wash area which they said was set up like a groomers shop. They also had a fenced in dog park area," explains a visitor to Hilton Head National RV Resort.
Downtown Savannah access: Several campgrounds provide transportation options to historic districts. "You can catch a trolley to downtown Savannah. Trail rides are available," reports a camper at Red Gate Farms - RV Resort.
Clean bath facilities: Travelers note the quality of shower facilities varies significantly. "Bathroom and shower were very clean and spacious. Close to downtown and walkable to beaches," mentions a visitor to River's End Campground about their amenities.
Campground layouts: Site proximity varies greatly between properties. "Yes, the sites are close together. If you have that expectation and get past that your neighbor will be close, then it is a nice place. We spent most of our time riding bikes on the bike path and on the beach," notes a camper at Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks.
Reservation timing: Many parks require significant advance booking. "Reserve now for this Christmas/New Years eve. This place fills up fast," advises a camper about River's End Campground.
Alternative facilities: Some smaller campgrounds utilize non-traditional setups. "Toilet is liquid in the front and solid in the back, so everyone has to sit down to use the toilet. The shower is outside, with an open bottom. Heated water and changing room with a mirror," reports a visitor to Heirloom Hamlet.
Pool options: Pool facilities vary widely between properties. "They have a large pool with lazy river and a very nice playground. The bathrooms/bathhouse is very luxurious. It honestly reminded me of the a high end hotel resort," shares a family staying at Hilton Head National RV Resort.
Transportation rentals: Consider renting golf carts at larger resorts. "We are renting a golf cart next time we go so we can ride around the entire park because it is very large," mentions a family at Hilton Head National.
Beach proximity: Factor in actual distance to shorelines. "From the add it looks close to the beach but it's not," cautions a camper at River's End Campground about managing expectations.
Connectivity considerations: Internet quality varies between campgrounds. "The internet is GOOD! in the afternoon of our arrival. I have streamed some HD video and it is solid. I didn't bother setting up the EARTHLINK dish which would work well here because it is mostly open sky," notes a visitor to Savannah Lakes RV Resort.
Site surfaces: RV pad materials differ between properties. "Nice concrete pad, pull through and we are just going to leave the car connected," reports a camper at Savannah Lakes.
Payment policies: Several parks have restrictive payment methods. "Len Thomas RV Park doesn't accept either credit or debit cards, so checks, cash or money orders are the only acceptable payment," warns a traveler about payment preparation.
