Campground Review and Description
Description:
This was a surprise near the sea shore.The large campgrounds areperfect for RVs, tents, and there are charming cottages, as well.
Pros, Cons, Attractions and Additional Comments
Pros:
The campgrounds were recently renovated so that 90 percent of all sites are pull-thru.Clean, natural, and spaced well apart so that there is privacy. There are miles of flat walking, strolling, and great bicycling. Many people seem to bring motorcycles.
Cons:
There is no swimming, but I didn't miss it.The walking and bike rental gave me plenty to do.
Attractions:
There is an aquarium next door, excellent grocery store only a 20 minutewalk or 2 minute drive.Yet all of what anyone could need in a "city" is only 15 minutes of easy driving over peaceful ocean waterways.

From Skidaway Island State park in Savannah, Georgia: Located near historic Savannah, this park borders Skidaway narrows, a part of Georgia’s intracoastal waterway. A scenic campground is nestled under live oaks and Spanish moss, and some RV sites have sewer hookups. Leashed pets are allowed. Groups can enjoy privacy in their own pioneer campgrounds.
The park’s new camper cabins offer screened porches, air conditioning, a bathroom with shower, kitchen, master bedroom and kids’ sleeping loft.
Guests bring their own linens, towels, dishes and cooking utensils. Outside, visitors will find a picnic table, grill and fire ring. Pets are not allowed.
Trails wind through maritime forest and past salt marsh, leading to a boardwalk and observation tower. Visitors can watch for deer, fiddler crabs, raccoon, egrets and other wildlife. Inside the park’s interpretive center, birders will find binoculars, reference books and a window where they can look for migrating species such as Painted Buntings. Children will especially enjoy seeing the towering, 20-foot Giant Ground Sloth replica and reptile room. For cooling off during summer, Tybee Island's beaches are less than an hour away.
