Tybee Island, often referred to as Savannah’s Beach, offers visitors a place for all seasons with sandy beaches, great fishing, and rich history at every turn.
River’s End Campground is a fantastic home base for exploring it all. We’re just a few short blocks from the beach (approx. 1/2 mile) and an easy 15 mile drive to historic downtown Savannah.

So much to do— quiet and family friendly. Bike rentals, dog park, fishing pond, laundry, water park, etc. Large corner lot with plenty of shade. 20 mins from Folly Beach! Will be back!

Ok.... So it was only $35 per night, so keep that in mind! IF you meet the qualifications to stay (military affiliated), this is REALLY close to the Navy Nuke School! Yes - the camp hosts are salty, as are some of the long term residents (like the people in the first spot on the right), but... It's $35! Spots are flat, full power and water, bathrooms MAY now be under construction, and the lady you book with in building across from the bowling alley is super sweet! 😁

I will be staying here for 6 weeks over the Dec and Jan period. The spots are close but the facilities are great and the staff is very helpful. I've had a number of packages delivered and they always let you know moments after they get them. The wireless is good but not great. Not solid enough for me to use for work but the Verizon service is excellent so that makes it doable.
Travelersuper easy and quick check-in, we only stayed for one night due to the heat but we loved what we got to see of the park! super family + group oriented which was nice for me and my bf since its just us 2 and kids in the tents around us didnt really come back to the primative area until sundown, so we got to sit by the fire and relax! our dogs loved the beautiful trails. will definitely be back in cooler weather!
Scout
Very nice clean
ScoutNice campsite, full hookups, enjoyed the lightning bugs, great place to enjoy camping and getting away from electronics since no cell phone signal for T-Mobile and no wifi in campground, definitely need to wear your bug repellent
ScoutFishing, kid friendly, climbing wall, rope course, water park, 10 minutes to Charleston and 15 minutes to the beach.
ScoutWe were here in 2018 and park was great. Not so much now. Several sites are out of commission and the grounds are in bad need of maintenance. No bathrooms,showers,laundry,wifi,cable, and Verizon is sketchy. Host is not very helpful. The place is pretty quiet though with only a few rv'ers staying. Pads are cement and level but close together. Can't recommend staying here even for half the money.
GuideAmong the best. Well maintained, very clean and adequate bathhouses, level gravel sites with reasonable spacing. Even WIFi ! Location is very convenient to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.

We absolutely love camping at the Live Oak Campground portion of the EBSP. The sites are all spacious, shaded, and clean. The bathrooms are cleaned several times throughout the day (the only thing I don’t like about the bathrooms are the flushers for the toilets - so awkward!). There are trails for walking and biking that are well kept and are ADA accessible. I cannot recommend this place enough. Make sure you have at least one breakfast from Seacow Eatery, enjoy a pizza at Coots, and BBQ from the Briny Swine. McKonkey’s has the best onion rings. For some of the best seafood you’ll eat make sure you go to Flowers just down the road. You can eat it there or get just about anything and take back to your campsite to cook.
TravelerI was so lucky to get a spot for two nights in this campground. Lovely camp hosts, pristine clean bathrooms, laundry facility. There are paved trails around the campground, dog park and even a fishing pier. The views are stunning every turn you take. It's incredibly close to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach. I'm so glad I stopped here.
ScoutMy boyfriend and I stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are private and very clean. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

If you suddenly find yourself in northern Georgia in and around Savannah(arguably the coolest place in the entire South) and find yourself in need of parking your mobile camping unit for the night, then Stoney Crest Plantation Campground might be a good place for you to consider. While this camping depot indicates that they offer up tent camping, my own impression is that this is squarely an RV-focused lot, with about 30 or so pull-thru and back-in sites offering all of the typical hook-ups(water, sewage, 50/ 30/ 20 amp electric) as well as designated trash and recycling bins. Located just off of May River Road due north and east of Savannah, Stoney Crest is little more than a grassy knoll for RVs to park for the night(or semi-permanently, as a number of RVs would hint at). One of the great upsides to this location is its proximity to toney Hilton Head Island(just 10 miles away), so if you are looking for proximity to paradise, without the price tag, then Stoney Crest Plantation has you covered. Here at pet-friendly Stoney Crest they offer coin-operated laundry room(2 washer and dryers) facilities, swimming pool, playground, restroom and shower facilities(although I will admit, in dire need of a super cleaning and updated refurbishment), TV/ recreation room, 2 vending machines(note: no on-site market or store) nature-walking trails and complimentary WiFi. Insider’s tips? Here’s a few:(1) If you are looking to‘hit the links’ then there’s a great golf club just due north of Stoney Crest called Hampton Hall Club, which has a simply fantastic 18 holes for you to sink some little white balls in;(2) When you get tired of investigating what might be left in your cooler with which to make a meal and want to explore the local surroundings, then I highly recommend you give‘Squat‘N’ Gobble’ a shot as they have some outstanding‘Low Country’ food options, including Low Country Boil(shrimp, corn on the cob, andouille sausage, red potatoes) and Fried Chicken;(3) Nearby you’ll discover there’s a‘sculpture garden’ in Palmetto Oaks that offers up unique man-made sculptures in the midst of nature;(4) Decent(not amazing) hikes in nearby Saint Joseph’s and Oscar Frazier Parks; and(5) If antebellum South is of interest to you, there’s Heyward House Museum and Welcome Center that displays a lot of the pre-Civil War customs, culture and way-of-life before the South was overtaken by the North. Happy Camping!
GuideGreat state campground. Water and electric. Less than a minute walk to the beach. Can hear the surf at night. Very clean showers and restrooms.
ScoutFull amenities, so price tag goes along. Overall good campgrounds for RV/trailers but overkill for tents.
LegendEdisto Beach state park has two campgrounds. We stayed in the beach campground. There is a beach, but it can’t be seen by most sites. It’s the salt marsh that is most prominent, and with rain it gets pretty marshy all over, but the site pads appear to stay above water. At least with this overnight rain. The Live Oak campground suits my taste better. As the name suggests, the sites are nestled in trees and not on top of each other.
ScoutSites were flat with very little leveling necessary. We could hear the waves from the campsite!
TravelerWhen making reservations at James Island County Park we had modest expectations, but we were going to tour Charleston most of the time, so we decided anything close to the city would be good enough. The campground turned out to be very nice. We wished we had stayed there longer to enjoy not only Charleston, but the nature beauty of the park itself. The campground is located in a huge park with lots of amenities. The sites are spacious, covered with trees, full hookups with 50 amp service. There are a lot of shaded picturesque walking and bike trails in the park. The dog park was amazingly big, with a little doggy beach for water lovers. There is a big kids playground with a fun looking spray play fountain. It is located just 15 min drive from the campground to downtown Charleston. It is a great campground to stay when visiting Charleston. We have a video on our YouTube Channel- Summertime RV Rovers- about this park- Great Campgrounds in Coastal South Carolina: Charleston and Hilton Head Island. Please check for yourself. We camped at James Island County Park in a Motorhome.
GuideLove the no commercialism-bike paths and hiking trails a plus-We DID request a back in site a month ago however we were given a busy loop on the road site-oh well- this little island is a time to chill-enjoy the quiet, beauty and sealife-
GuideWe were excited about our spacious site! Yes, you can see, hear, and visit with your neighbors but that’s part of camping right! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. On our first night we asked for a suggestion regarding a pub where locals hung out so we could gather some island knowledge. We were referred to a place called Huc a Poos.  We walked with our pup, and although it appeared busy, we did not let this deter us. Awesome beer and pizza and we gained a great deal of local knowledge regarding where to paddleboard. The island is small and you can walk or bike just about anywhere. There are not designated bike paths so be aware of dodging people walking, driving, golf carts, and jogging, 
TravelerPrivate rest rooms with shower, sink and toilet. Easy walk to two different beaches including North Beach Grill. Walk a little farther for shops and bars. You can drive Golf Carts around the island. Went for four days, stayed for six. Enjoy.
GuideWe camped here in mid September during a very hot week. The staff was courteous, and the sites are mostly private. The mosquitos were abundant the week we stayed in Site #6. Restrooms and showers are modern and well maintained. Lots of washers and dryers available. The campsite was gravel and sand, with lots of large gravel stones that made it uncomfortable to walk around at times. The site appeared to not be maintained often (lots of old leaves and weeds), but overall the park was clean. Our site was close to the road that many county vehicles travelled, so it was not a quiet spot. The park offers a shuttle to Charleston, a climbing wall, splash pool, many trails. The dog park is huge with a great place for the dogs to swim. The park store has most items you'd need while camping, and some souvenirs. Overall it was a good experience, but I'd suggest a site more off the road if you want a quiet site.
ScoutGreat campground with a lot of amenities and thing to do. Not to mention you're near Downtown Charleston, Folly Beach and Mount Pleasant. The campground has Level sites and a great doggie park. A lot of walking and biking trails too. A great place to visit.
LegendThis place looked promising at first. I arrived on a Friday night and there were multiple tent sites available. Very pricey, but Charleston accomodations are like that, and the park looked pleasant and well developed. I set up my tent and was happy... at first.
Right after I went to bed, a major thunderstorm rolled in. I'd weathered such storms before, and my tent usually performs well. My campsite had a raised tent platform filled with sand, which I assumed would drain well. It did not. The tent was "floating" for a while. Standing water under the floor. Only a little water leaked in, luckily.
When I got up in the morning, the tent pad had mostly drained, but the rest of my campsite had turned into a swimming pool. I walked around the campground and it looked like my site was the only one that had flooded like this. "No problem," I thought, "I'll just book a second night in one of the other campsites." Nope. They were booked solid. Had to pack up my wet equipment and never really got to enjoy the park.
I imagine this could be a very nice place to camp under better conditions, but I did not have a good time.
Side note, there was a chorus of extremely loud frogs here that kept me awake at night. Cute but annoying.
ScoutGreat stay!
ScoutNice 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.
TravelerWe stayed last yr and the kids still talk about going back. The pool is huge. The office/store has everything you could possibly need. We ended up getting 2 bags of fire wood and stuff to make smores bc the nice lady at the office forgot to call in for someone to take us to our sitem we only waited about 10 mins so we werent even upset but it was nice of her. Our site was nice and close to the office, pool, laundry, and bath house.
