Beautiful, full hookups and clean facilities

We had a wonderful time camping the weekend of the golf cart parade on Jekyll Island. The pier was a close bike ride, the entire island has biking trails. Lights were gorgeous for the holiday and campers were in spirit as well. It was a little warm this weekend, and the gnats are NO JOKE. Because of them we likely won’t visit again in the spring, but wait for colder weather.

Peaceful, good trails

We were at site 46, which is near the entrance and the camp host. Short walk to the bathhouse directly behind. Site has good trees for a hammock and near a path down to the lake for fishing/picnic/swimming. Beware there is a sharp drop off across from the site, so make sure whoever is backing in has a spotter out front.

Lots of fun, sites poorly designed

We stayed in site 10 and a friend in site 11 around the fishing lake. The location was gorgeous and kids could walk to the amenity center. When they designed the park, the hook ups are on the wrong side of the spots. We needed 50 feet and our friends 80 feet of sewage hook ups! The sewer connection is not sink and does not drain properly. When we told the front desk we were told we could purchase extenders which were parked up 100%. Make sure you bring extra hook ups if you are in these sites at the front. The sites at the back are REALLY far from any amenity and I would not stay there unless you have a golf cart. The lake is awesome, pool and bars. NO LIQUIR SALES ON SUNDAY. So don’t count on having fun at the Tiki bar if you are staying on Sunday evening.

Poorly Maintained Sites

Uneven sites, horrible potholes and poor drainage throughout the park. We did have some torrential rain our first night, but the puddles didn’t drain after 4 days. My son hit a pothole on his bike and got skinned up on our first day. You can’t deny the natural beauty and the beach is gorgeous. Bathrooms were clean and showers hot. The bathrooms are not close to the beach access point and staff was very rude. I recommend avoiding the first loop closest to the beach as they were flooded. Our site was #169 which had good drainage and close to a camp shower.
