Best Glamping near Hilton Head Island, SC

Stayed at Site 77 for 2 full weeks.

25 minutes to the historic district of Savannah, GA, 40 minutes to Tybee Island beach and about 1hr15min to Hilton Head Island.

AT&T service = 1-2 bars Verizon service = 3 bars

WiFi is available ONLY in Visitors Center.

The bathhouses were always very clean and we were able to walk the trails several times while here.

This is a great and affordable way to stay near Savannah in an awesome GA State Park

Our only complaint is that the roads are very narrow, have many roots pushing up the pavement, and the roads are barely wide enough for a truck/camper let alone the fact that they are NOT one way roads.

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!

There are two sections to Edisto Beach State Park. The Ocean side campground is the best with the ocean breezes, but the marsh side campground is an easy bicycle ride from the beach.

It's South Carolina in the summer, so there are mosquitoes. And the raccoons are pretty fierce so you want to make sure your food is stored securely, so you don't wake up to critters eating your potato chips.

The restrooms and showers are clean.

Edisto Island is one of the least developed islands in South Carolina. There is a Piggly Wiggly grocery store to pick up all the things you may have forgotten. There is an ice cream shop and several restaurants, but it is pretty quiet. My favorite thing about staying at Edisto Beach State Park is bicycling to the beach, bicycling along the paths in the state park that lead to a shell mound, built by Native Americans around 2,000 B.C., and bicycling for beers at one of the little bars overlooking the ocean. Another plus is the park's proximity to Botany Bay.

I stayed in a back in site in camping area 2. I would call it big rig challenging w/the narrow road and tight-ish back in. I enjoyed the trails & observation tower as well as the cute little shop where you check in. My friend joined me over the weekend & her kids really liked the All About Bats presentation & the playground. Lots of deer & other wildlife to be seen. Shaded sites & mine was full hookup. Pet friendly & the laundry facility takes credit cards. They ended up renting a yurt which was cool. There are also cabins but we didn’t see those.

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.

The campsite is very cluttered. Each site is right on top of the other. Does not feel private and way overpriced for primitive sites. Your scenery will consist of your neighbor. I give 2 stars because it is very close to beach and the receptionist was nice.

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.

We 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.

Nice 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.

Great stay!

The camp staff is nice and they take good care of this place.

Really like the easy access to quite area of the beach. Pool on site. Bathrooms cleaned daily. Good mixture of site options and several cabins. Friendly and helpful staff.

Private 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.

We 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, 

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

Camp ground was tight for some in our group but over all pretty good. Beautiful pool. Decent bath house. My sight was amazing #136 facing the woods but my neighbors behind me were right up under me! At least they were nice 😃

Excellent staff, clean grounds, great place. If you want relaxing it’s here, if you want to party there’s 4 miles of what’re pRty you want. And the beach’s!!!! Better make reservations Bussy,Bussy 😎

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 had a great time at this campground even though we went in July when it was so humid that I was soaked before even getting the toy hauler set up. The lots are a little tight so you may need to brush up on your parking skills. The pool area was great for families.

This is definitely a "city" campground. Spots are tight, you will be very close to your neighbors, but you'll have everything you need, including a fire ring and picnic table. Wi-Fi and cable were also on point. 

There is an on-site store which seemed well stocked. However, we tried to order firewood several nights and each night, they were out of firewood. 

Bugs are bad. Bring bug spray!

There are two dog parks beside the campground. One for small dogs and another for large dogs. They are nice to have but both could definitely use some work. Even though we have small dogs, we went to the big dog park because the small dog park was in really bad shape. 

Walking/biking distance to the beach. Also walkable to really great coffee shop called Tybean Art & Coffee Bar. 

*Warning: While Tybee Island, including the campground, is one of the most dog-friendly places I have ever been, you are not allowed to have dogs on the beaches on the island. This is so strange to me, but they are very serious about it. Don't do it.

This is our favorite campground. Bring bikes and kayak- you won't be disappointed. We stayed here for 2 months and have been here before and this is one of our favorite places to come. The sites are gravel and level. Most sites are easy to get in and out of and not too close together. I have never felt cramped here. Each site comes with a fire pit and a picnic table. Location is great. Not right on the beach but a short walking distance.(NOTE: DO NOT WALK YOUR DOG ON THE BEACH- they do not give warnings and the fine is close to$300). North Beach is great- Great grill called North Beach Grill. Lots of history close by. Staff are amazing and so friendly. I would say the friendliest staff of all the parks I have ever been to. Lots of great restaurants. We camped at River's End Campground& RV Park in a Motorhome.  I highly recommend North Beach Grille, Cockspur Grille, and Huck-A-Poo - all are walking and biking distance from the campground (Actually everything is biking distance from the campground).

Very clean and organized. Campsites are stacked on each other. Our neighbor’s fire ring was literally five feet from our RV. Thank goodness they didn’t have a fire while we were there. Lots of families with you f kids riding bikes and playing. Also lots of campers that were staying many days with stuff scattered all over their area.

My wife and I stayed for three nights in early May.  Tybee Island is near Savannah Ga and is the closest Atlantic side beach to Atlanta.  River's End is a short walk to North Beach and very well run.  We were guided to a shaded drive through spot near one other camper.

The surface was fine gravel.  Like most campgrounds near the beach the sites are relatively small.  We had no problem with our 22 foot trailer.  Experienced drivers of larger RV's will be OK.  The staff is helpful and friendly.

We visited the pool - advertised as the largest on Tybee Island but spent most of our time at the beach.  There are bike lanes around the island and kayaking is fun on the back river.

Savannah is about 30 minutes away on HWY 80.  There is much history and charm.  We visited Forsyth Park and the riverfront.

We would definitely stay again.

Good location and our 41 ft 5th wheel fir in their premier spot. The only issue is our spot was under a tree that must have been infested with small ants. We were only there for one night so we dealt with it. The beach was beautiful. I plan to come back next year and not get a spot under a tree (hoping no bugs but did not check out other sites). Pool was also nice and clean. Local kids are in school now so area was quiet.

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.
