We enjoyed staying here 7 days, Nov. 19-25, 2021. Description Highlights:

1. Full service gravel sites (ours was pull-through as were many others). Each site had a picnic table, a tire-rim for a fire pit, and electric-water-and sewer hookups.-
2. Free WiFi with strong signal. There were 2 router polls, including one near the entrance. The signal was strong enough to support streaming on a Roku device.
3. Pretty grounds with many oak trees that had Spanish moss hanging from the limbs. Nice for a morning walk.
4. Pets are welcome. It seems like everyone had a dog as I would see them walking the dogs but the place remained quiet and barking was not heard.
5. There is a small pond. We didn’t fish but I think that fishing is allowed.
6. Close to gas, restaurants, stores and attractions. The campground is at exit #1 on I-95 just mile North of the GA/FL State line. Exit 3 (two miles north) is where you can find many restaurants (Cracker B., IHOP, etc.) plus supplies (Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, Dollar Tree).
7. Good Sam discount (10%) is offered at the campground plus there is a Pilot/flying J at the same exit (#1) that gives a Good Sam discount on Gas. I got 5 cents per gallon off plus I noticed that the Pilot gas price was at least 15 cents less than the cost of gas at neighboring stations.
8. Laundry on site
9. Many local (from Jacksonville) TV stations could easily be picked up OTA with out even raising the campers TV antenna. Many radio stations also available NPR is at 88.9 FM and there was a station playing all Christmas music- 96.1 FM.
10. Recommended nearby non-fast food restaurants include Steffens Restaurant was delicious homemade style food (since the 1940’s). Great breakfast (recommend the biscuits and gravy-with large chunks of sausage) and dinner (recommend the fried whole catfish). Steffens Restaurant is about 3 miles from the campground - turn left onto Scrubby Bluff rd (away from the Interstate) when exiting the campground and go 2 miles; then, turn right onto Hwy 17 and go about a mile or so - the restaurant will be on your left. We also really enjoyed seafood at St Marys Seafood & More(Georgia) 1837 Osborne Rd, St Marys, GA 31558. They had great shrimp and special homemade sides (such as four-bean baked beans and butter beans with smoky ham). If you want to drive about 30 miles to Brunswick Georgia for lunchtime, you can taste the BEST FRIES ON THE PLANET at Twin Oaks BBQ restaurant 2618 Norwich St, Brunswick, GA 31520.
11. Nearby Attractions: Cumberland Island (go to St. Marys and take the ferry- ) It has a beautiful pristine beach where wild horses roam. Jekyll Island has a lovely beach, fishing pier, nice restaurants, historic places/tours, and golf and put-put.

We visited and camped in our RV at Timber Ridge during October and November 2021. The layout of the camp park is very 3D as the roads wind up and down through the mountain forest. There is lots of shade and a beautiful lake. Staff were very friendly and helpful. One helped me get our rig backed safely in to our site.

Cumberland Island is a beautiful pristine National Seashore accessible by ferry off the coast of Georgia. We tent camped there in the middle of June 2021. It was a hot time of year but under the canopy of the live oak trees where the tent sites are located (Sea Camp) was easily 10+ degrees cooler than elsewhere. However, be warned, it was extremely humid. You might consider taking a small battery-operated fan. If I return, I will try to visit during a more cool season of the year. 

The tent sites are large, roomy, and equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, pole for hanging stuff, and a big metal lockable wildlife-proof box. There is no electricity or water except at the shower/restroom building that is near the campsites. You can borrow a cart to take your tent and supplies from the boat to the campsite (Seacamp only - the more distant campsites (on the north side of the island) are hike & carry only). You can also bring your own wagon/cart on the boat (we did). You can rent a bicycle on the island at the ranger station or bring your own. The ferry charges $10 to transport your own bike). Otherwise, the approximately 45-minute ferry ride costs $15 per person. You need to make a reservation in advance online (https://www.cumberlandislandferry.com/st-marys-cumberland-island-ferry/). You will need to reserve the campsite well in advance (they fill up quickly) and pay online (https://www.nps.gov/cuis/planyourvisit/camping.htm). You may pay the national part fee (parking fee?) of $20 at the park station in St. Marys prior to boarding the ferry or you can pay it online in advance as well. I paid in advance online but the rangers reimbursed me after I got there because, to my surprise, it just happened to be National Park Week and the parking fee was waived as part of the celebration. Lucky me.

The island is absolutely beautiful with miles of pristine beach with lovely waves and a luscious live oak forest. You can swim. Watch out for jellyfish. I flew a kite, too. Watch the sunrise in the morning and at night, you might get an unpolluted view of the stars. Expect to see wild horses on the beach and the trails. You should not try to approach them or feed them but they came pretty close to me anyway. So it is easy to get a good look at them. A harmless armadillo visited our campsite one day.

The rangers were super nice. We enjoyed an outdoor lecture on sea turtles outside the ranger station when we were waiting for the ferry on our departure day. The rangers also provide tours of the south side of the island and the Dungeness Ruins (the remains of Lucy Carnegie’s island mansion).

I highly recommend camping (or even just visiting for the day) on Cumberland Island, Georgia.

Our first camping trip in our new 5th wheel was at George L Smith State Park near Twin City GA. The park was great with lots of room around the camper which we were able to park right next to the lake. The lake is a great place to canoe or kayak as it has lots of nooks and crannies on the paddling trails. The rangers were very nice and helpful. We got three free camping nights with purchase of our annual parking pass . It was a great deal. The pass is good for all GA State Parks.
