Best Campgrounds near Savannah, GA

Campgrounds near Savannah, Georgia provide visitors with diverse experiences ranging from coastal state parks to full-service RV resorts. Skidaway Island State Park Campground offers spacious sites under live oak trees draped with Spanish moss, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Savannah. Fort McAllister State Park Campground provides waterfront camping along the Ogeechee River with access to historic Civil War sites. Both parks accommodate tent camping, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. CreekFire RV Resort and Red Gate Farms RV Resort cater primarily to RVs with full hookups while still maintaining natural settings with lakes, walking trails, and farm animals.

Many campgrounds in the Savannah area operate year-round due to the region's mild climate, though summer humidity can be intense. Most established campgrounds require reservations, particularly during spring and fall when weather conditions are most favorable. The proximity to both historic Savannah and coastal areas makes these campgrounds popular bases for exploring the region. Full hookup sites with 50-amp service are common at private RV parks, while state parks typically offer a mix of water/electric sites and some with sewer connections. As one camper noted, "Fort McAllister is a beautiful state park with lots to do and not too far from Savannah. We stayed here over New Year's. Large, shaded sites, with breezes off the water to keep cool even in summer."

Campers consistently praise the natural settings of Savannah-area campgrounds, particularly the maritime forests and Spanish moss that create distinctive camping environments. Several visitors highlighted the spaciousness of sites at state parks compared to private RV resorts. A reviewer described Skidaway Island State Park as "nestled in a maritime forest, the live oaks and Spanish moss, drip and dance around you, lending an air of romance and other-worldly feel." Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring both Savannah's historic district and nearby coastal attractions like Tybee Island. Wildlife viewing opportunities are abundant, with campers reporting sightings of deer, rabbits, birds, and even crabs at some locations. The combination of natural settings with proximity to urban and coastal attractions makes the Savannah region particularly appealing to campers seeking varied experiences.

    Fort McAllister State Park Campground

    Loved to be immersed in Nature

    This turned out to be one of our favorite campgrounds (on a trip between Philadelphia and Savannah). We loved to be immersed in nature and like to discover wildlife. We saw deer, racoon, opossum and armadillo at Fort Mc Allister. Off course there are also lots of bugs and mosquitos that is the downside of this swampy jungle. Campground has nice spots, full hook up available, good shower facilities and not to far to combine with a Savannah visit (very nice town by the way).

    Green Acres RV Camping

    Best Place I’ve Stayed

    This was by far the best campground I have ever stayed at. Owner watches out for his land and makes his guests feel very important. I’m a travel therapist and move all over the US every 3 months, and this was the best I’ve stayed. Owner is very understanding and is willing to go above and beyond for his guests!! Some people moved out and left a mess when pulled out, by the end of the day it was all cleaned up. Very clean, couldn’t be happier💜

    Hilton Head National RV Resort

    Stay Here

    This is by far the best camp ground I have ever stayed at. Clean and spacious sites. The Bath house and private shower area were 5-star hotel quality. Great dog park very clean with separate areas for large and small pets. The pool, lazy river, Tiki Bar and restaurant area was top quality, providing plenty of lounge chairs, tables/w umbrellas, and free pool floats for the lazy river experience. The are plenty cabana setups throughout the pool complex. They were quite expensive and frankly mostly empty for the week I stayed there.(August). Food was outstanding and consistent throughout our stay. My family highly recommends a stay. We will be back.

    CreekFire RV Resort

    Overall a good stay, will be back

    Campground is super clean and friendly staff. Love having the resort like pool/lazy river/splash pad.

    Sites are packed in pretty well, but they do a good job dividing them off from one another so it doesn't feel too cramped. Unfortunately not a lot of shade to be found.

    Sites are angled so it makes backing in a breeze! And the concrete pad was almost perfectly level which made setup so quick!

    Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks

    More greed than hospitality

    My biggest regret is that I didn't read the reviews before booking. I'm usually very tolerant of small issues and I feel that hospitality goes a long way. Unfortunately, the issues weren't small and the hospitality was non-existent. But when we arrived at Spacious Skies RV park in Savannah we were made to feel unwelcome from the very beginning. We arrived at 11:15 am and were told we could only enter the park after 12:00pm after paying a$10 early check in fee. There were several empty sites but we were refused entry and told to go away and come back after noon. Our site#67 was a very small dirt and gravel spot just steps away from a busy highway. Honestly, we would have been better off at an interstate rest area. This is consistent with some of the reviews I've seen on their own website. Here's a summary of what I found: REVIEWS* Unreasonable refund policies.* Little or no flexibility for early or late check-ins* Some guests refused check-in after 8pm, even in cases out of their control, such as heavy traffic. Don't bother calling, they offer no exceptions.* Excessive fees and rules* Claims of racism* No sleeping in hammocks, even on a freestanding frame* Small, dirty and noisy sites too close to the highway.*Cockroaches*Turned away because RVs were not"factory made"*Dirty facilities. POLICIES AND FEES:* No check-in before noon, or after 8pm.(This is enforced, but not on the agreement you must docusign upon booking)* For an extra fee($10?) you can"lock-in" your chosen site.*$10 fee for guests who may wish to visit.*$10 fee for fishing.*$25 per pet per reservation* Retractable leashes MUST be less than 6 feet in length.* Pets must have a tag on their collar with the owner's phone number.* Golf carts(electric only) must be registered and inspected. Factory made golf carts only.* Prohibited Items: include, but are not limited to, flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are political in nature...* Apparently, there are some similar restrictions on speech. But they do encourage"...flags, stickers, garden displays or site decor that are meant to celebrate personal identity in a non-aggressive manner."* When you sign the agreement, you're also agreeing to allow them to use your photo in their advertisements. As long as they can extract as much money from you as possible, they will tolerate your presence. Due to their draconian refund policies, we wound up forfeiting all of the money we paid. In the end I don't regret it. We went about a mile down the road to Creekfire RV park where we were warmly greeted and immediately given a last-minute reservation for a lakeside spot with a wonderful view. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all of their amenities, such a pool with a lazy river and a lakeside restaurant. There's also a KOA in Richmond Hill just a few miles to the south with friendly staff, lakeside sites and several restaurants.

    Lake Jasper RV Park

    No same day reservations

    Looks super nice but they say they are open till 8:30 pm. I got there at 8 and nobody was around. Tried to book it online and they don’t do same day reservations. I used their auto chat and it doesn’t understand availability for the day. Called their number and left them my name and phone and didn’t get a call back. We had to leave. Even tho there were lots of spaces open.


Guide to Savannah

Campgrounds near Savannah, Georgia range from oceanfront locations on Tybee Island to forest settings within 30 minutes of historic downtown. The coastal plains surrounding Savannah sit at just 49 feet above sea level, creating a humid subtropical climate where summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity from June through September. Winter camping offers mild temperatures in the 50-60°F range, making savannah georgia camping accessible year-round despite occasional frost between December and February.

What to do

Wildlife watching at Fort McAllister State Park: The park offers excellent bird watching opportunities along the Ogeechee River and marsh areas. "Really nice campground. Great hikes. Very close to a Publix and two convenience stores. My kids loved the playground and the fort tour!!" notes camper Tyler W. about Fort McAllister State Park Campground.

Horseback riding at Red Gate Farms: Visitors can enjoy trail rides on this 200-acre working farm. "Red gate is a hidden gem. 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 Lea B. about Red Gate Farms - RV Resort.

Fishing at Lake Jasper: The small lake provides opportunities for bank fishing and boat fishing without gas motors. "Very well put together campground. Located on a wildlife park, I saw a few alligators in the lake. Fairly peaceful, besides the fact we were right next to the pool so it got loud at times," reports Dusty W. about Lake Jasper RV Park.

What campers like

Extra-large campsites: Many campers appreciate the spacious sites at state parks. "We stayed at Skidaway Island State Park for 4 nights in May. Even thought the park was full (Memorial Day weekend), it never felt crowded. The spaces are very large and spread out," comments Zach H. about Skidaway Island State Park Campground.

Wildlife encounters: Local campgrounds offer frequent animal sightings. "When I was here in April the flies were awful but they went away when the sun went down. Haha but that's when the Raccoons come out to play! Do NOT leave food or trash unattended or they will ransack your campsite," warns Hannah C. about Fort McAllister State Park.

Resort-style amenities at private campgrounds: Several RV parks offer hotel-like features. "Really nice new campground. Nice sites with either concrete pads or gravel. Has a lake with fishing. Beautiful pool area. Only negative is there is no shade," notes Jim G. about CreekFire RV Resort.

What you should know

Limited tent camping options: Most private campgrounds primarily serve RVs with few tent sites. "This is a beautiful campground, well maintained with a great pool and amenities. Conveniently located to downtown Savannah and other amenities. There are only two tent sites, and they are in docks. Tethering your tent is tricky since you can't hammer it in," explains Jennifer L. about CreekFire RV Resort.

Seasonal pest considerations: Insects remain active in the mild climate. "I spent three night at Fort McAllister in the tent side of the campground. When I was here in April the flies were awful but they went away when the sun went down," shares Hannah C.

Highway noise at some locations: Several campgrounds sit near major roads. "Sites are packed in pretty well, but they do a good job dividing them off from one another so it doesn't feel too cramped. Unfortunately not a lot of shade to be found," reports Edward S. about CreekFire RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and kid-friendly activities: Several campgrounds have facilities specifically for children. "This place is Great! I went there with my family about a month ago, they have hiking trails, bike trails, a nature center and plenty of room for kids to ride bikes. The camp sites are a great size and all of them are pretty close to a bath house," recommends Marysa H. about Skidaway Island State Park.

Beach access from Tybee Island: For families wanting ocean activities, consider camping on Tybee Island. "Campground is awesome, well stocked little store, outside air pump, very clean bath houses, pool was super nice, beach access is a bike ride away, dog parks definitely need work," notes Joseph C. about River's End Campground & RV Park.

Pool availability varies seasonally: Check opening dates if swimming is important. "⛺️ S I T E R E V I E W ⛺️ Savannah South KOA. AMENITIES: 50 Max Amp, 70' Max Length, Wi-Fi, Cable TV, Pool (4/15 - 11/1), Propane ($), Fishing, Firewood ($), Tour Shuttle ($), Dog Park," details Jessica B. about the facilities at Savannah South KOA.

Tips from RVers

Shuttle services to downtown Savannah: Several campgrounds offer transportation options. "Full hookups and pull through with lots of trees. Not particularly quiet and no shower or laundry facilities. The women in the front have all the info you need to explore the local area and you can buy buses passes there to have a guided tour of Charleston," shares Mitchell C. about Biltmore RV Park.

Site selection matters for privacy: Not all sites offer equal separation from neighbors. "We had no problems getting in and the trails/sites are large and clean. Deer and other wildlife are seen every day," reports Pamela I. about Skidaway Island State Park.

Gate closure times affect evening activities: Some campgrounds restrict late-night access. "Pros: SO CLEAN!! The workers here are friendly and work hard to keep everything nice and clean. Sites are really large, spaced out and private. Cons: Gate locks at 10 pm which really is not enough time if you want a night downtown," explains Elizabeth E. about Skidaway Island State Park.
