As part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, Skidaway Island State Park is nearly 600 acres of maritime forest, tidal creeks, and salt marshes nestled between the Skidaway River and the housing developments of The Landing. The park’s main draw is its lush coastal woods of live oaks, red cedars, and pines dripping with Spanish moss, which, in turn, is home for a variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and a variety of shorebirds. Many of the park’s flora and fauna can be seen on a network of 6 miles of walking trails and boardwalks. Some trails are ADA accessible, and some are also open to cyclists. For your best chance at spying a resident alligator, go for a stroll on the 2-mile Big Ferry Trail. Visitors to Skidaway Island State Park, just a 10-mile drive southeast of Savannah, have access to nearly 90 tent and RV campsites, in addition to 3 camper cabins and 3 group campsites. All sites offer electrical hookups, and some are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include restrooms with showers, bike rentals, picnic areas, two playgrounds, laundry facilities, and an interpretive center. There is also an amphitheater that hosts seasonal interpretive programs. A hiking trail from the campground leads to an observation tower that overlooks the Skidaway Narrows, where you can scan for egrets and osprey. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins swimming up the waterway. Campsite rates range from $40–$49/night; cabins range from $42–$140/night.
$40 - $49 / night

I’ve never “glamped” before, so I can’t comment much from that perspective. It is not a “luxury” spot. But for us it was better than that because it was fun, comfortable and easy.
About 15 minutes from Ridgeland proper with stores, dining, etc, Stonewood Farm is tucked away in the pines a short dirt road drive off a 2 lane highway.
Kim, the host, is friendly and helpful. She gave us a tour of the farm and introduced us to the animals.
Bring a bag of carrots for the horses.
My son loved the animals and exploring.
The tent/cabin is wood framed with wood and canvas walls. The mattress on the queen bed was awesome. But you will want to spend most of your time outside under the stars and by the fire pit. The area is dark, so good star gazing.
I took pictures of the kitchen items provided.
Great stay. Thanks!
ScoutMy daughter and I stayed in the glamping tent at Stonewood Farm just before Thanksgiving.
What a great place to unwind before the craziness of the holidays. Stonewood Farm is tucked away and offers the perfect blend of nature and farm life.
All the animals on this off-the-grid Hobby Farm are rescues and really friendly. My 12 year old daughter was in Heaven! She had fun with the horses, goats, dogs and especially the one cat who visited our tent and crashed our Monopoly game.
The tent itself is spacious and has a tv/dvd, a heater and the most comfy bed ever. We happened to be there during a new moon and could see a million stars and the Milky Way right over our tent. We could hear owls in the distance calling to each other.
Kimberly and Ed were amazing hosts. The campsite is away form their cabin allowing for privacy, but if we ever needed anything, they were right there to help.
My only concern is this was my daughter’s first time camping in a tent and the bar is now raised high. Haha. This is such a unique experience, we will definitely be back!

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.

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!
TravelerThis campground was nice to stay at, with level grassy spots, a fun playground for the kiddos and plenty of space to run around, outstanding Verizon service, warm showers, and propane refills, and water/electric hook-ups. It also seems to be a popular hook-up spot for the local squirrels.

Nice little campground with great big beautiful trees. Walking distance to north beach which is super calm water. A nice bike ride to the other beaches. Facilities were modern and in nice shape. Pool looked to be in good shape. Roads inside the campground were a little small and some of the corners a little tight.
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!
TravelerOn tybee island. 3 blocks from beach, lighthouse. 2 blocks from backorder beach. Well maintained. Some of the sites are tight. They choose your site based on your size camper. Large pool, laundry. Everything on Tybee is easy to get to either biking or walking. Staff are super friendly and helpful.
GuideThe campsite is very clean, and has really friendly employees. Why I gave it three stars: The spots are stacked on top of each other, and it’s all gravel. We had to walk pretty far to get to a grassy spot so my dog could pee. There’s a lot of construction going on around the park and people let their rigs run and it sounds like a semi truck rest area. I wouldn’t stay here again. I’ve never felt more sardined before.
TravelerWe really enjoyed our stay at River’s End Campground. Staying in Tybee was pleasant. Being the off-season was helpful. My children and I loved playing and learning outside. We also loved riding our bikes around the island and to the beach.
A staff member tipped us off to the Turtle Pond which was the most memoir experience! We were close to Tybee without feeling like we were in the thick of it.
We would definitely stay there again in the off season like we did this November.
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.
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.
ScoutGreat stay!
GuideThe camp staff is nice and they take good care of this place.
ScoutReally 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.
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.
RangerGood 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.
GuideCamp 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 😃
TravelerExcellent 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 😎
GuideTybee island is just outside of Savanna Georgia. Beautiful southern charm. On site pool, general store, bike ride to the beach or around the whole island -very private. Tour the light house and many other local activities. Campsite was soft white pebbles with beautiful historic trees. No see ums were a bit aggravating - this could just have been the time of year. Most people had screened in sitting areas. The bath houses were super clean and individual- nice size pool- great to relax in after a day at the beach. This was another great week of adventure for the books!!
GuideRiver’s End Campground is the perfect location for enjoying the North Beach area of Tybee Island. The campground is a“city” campground, but the location gives off a more relaxed beach/island vibe. All the employees were very friendly and helpful, especially the guys in golf carts, who escorted new arrivals and helped all around. The gentleman who escorted us to our site and helped back me in did an amazing job, knowing exactly where to get me situated. One of the best back-in assists I’ve ever had.
The campground is not large, but has a variety of pull through, back-in, pull-in, full hookups, and tent sites available. Most of the sites appeared very level and were average in size. Yes, they are close together, but didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Many of the sites have some shade, except 142-145. Our site(43) was level, spacious, and perfectly located in the center of the campground.
The swimming pool was a nice size and well maintained. The camp store had a nice variety of souvenirs, supplies, ice and water.
The location of the campground is what makes it ideal. It’s a short walk/bike ride to two beach access points (North Beach by the lighthouse and River Beach). Nearby are several restaurants and coffee shops, without having lots of touristy stores/vibes around. That is more of the south part of the island. The overall relaxing feel and location of the campground makes it one of our top beach stays!
GuideVery 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.
TravelerMy 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.
GuideWe 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.
RangerNice campground close to the beach. Ride our bikes over the entire island several times. Only complaint is our site was close to the road with quite a bit of traffic. We did have a good shade tree!!! The sites are very close together but we had some really nice “neighbors”.
LegendOur campsite was in the middle of a lot of stage campground streets but it was perfect. Shaded by big trees. Great spot for watching all the kids ride around. Close to the pool and laundry. The campground was active but not loud. My only complaint is that the pool doesn’t open until 11 on weekdays. That means you can’t take one more dip before checking out. Boo.
But you can walk to the beach. Walk to restaurants. Walk to the farmers market at the lighthouse every Monday afternoon (4-6). Pool. Laundry. Showers. Nice people. Overall a great spot!
