Conveniently located off I-95 between exits 29 & 36 so you don't lose travel mileage for stopping. The full hookups, Wi-Fi, and cable TV make this a comfortable overnight stop. The campground is heavily wooded and has dirt roads which would make it muddy when wet. It would make a nice base camp to explore Brunswick and Jekyll Island. There are many outdoor activities: a fresh water lake swimming area, salt water fishing pier, boat launch, archery range, and nature trails. The bathrooms were outdated and dirt, but there was a sign saying to excuse their appearance while they were being renovated. (It hadn't started yet.) We will use this as a stopover again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is nice. But they redid the camp sites and have fewer tent sites available. Which is not nice if you have a group that needs RV sites and tent sites. The park employees are not helpful either. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you don't need to use the bathhouses, you'll likely be well satisfied with the campground at this scenic, conveniently located county park. Unfortunately, the bathhouse is inadequate and poorly maintained -- for example, only one men's room toilet, which didn't flush; no toilet paper dispenser, and the tissue roll is placed on the dirty floor; no towel racks; no soap; no paper towels. Charge an extra couple of dollars if you must, but campers shouldn't have to put up with this sort of condition. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Hard to beat the combination of full hookups, cable TV, & WIFI for the price. Not sure if they have a laundry, we did not notice one. The campsites were large compared to commercial parks. The sites are sand which seems to be very common in the Coastal Georgia area. The roads are not paved, but are well maintained. Lots of trees everywhere that we saw, so for those with satellite requirements it may be difficult to get a signal. We had a very large back in, full hookup site (#8) directly across the street from the lake. A very nice County run park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park in shady setting. We couldn't get satellite here, but they do have cable. The park is convenient to Jekyll and St. Simon Islands. We found the park staff to be helpful and friendly. When I called for a reservation, they told me no sewer sites were available, but when I arrived they found one for me. Trash pickup every morning. Bring your insect repellent, as there are sand gnats and no-see-ums. I don't know if they get more plentiful in the summer, but they were out in force in early March. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a very good size site with good space and trees separating us from neighbors. Gated and secure. Quiet and secluded from highway noise. Convenient to everything and just fifteen minutes to Brunswick of any of the Golden Isles. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is a gem. Good base to visit the Golden Isles of Georgia. The space between the rigs is just OK for a public campground but just do a little walking or biking around the park to get away. I was going to use this park as a base to visit the local sites but ended up spending more time in the park. If you like biking off-road this place has many trails with lots of twists & turns (not many hills since this is the Georgia Coast). Cable TV is good (to check on the ever changing weather) but the Wi-Fi only worked in the office, not on our RV site (and we were pretty close to the office). This is the only reason the park did not get a 10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground is run by the County; the employees could take some lessons in being more helpful and the younger employees do not display any sense of work ethic. Therefore, the campground is not as good as it could be. The dirt roads create a lot of dust by the speeding County vehicles. The sites however are great. Excellent size, privacy yet friendly between sites. Easy to move around the campground. Wi-Fi spotty at sites, but great at office or another pavilion. Kids would be okay if swimming, fishing to keep them happy. We would stay again, but would also explore what else is in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have just re-read all the previous reviews and well I agree this is a nice park I am not as excited about it as everyone else seems to be. The sites are large but not particularly private as your neighbors are in view - we could hear & see our neighbors TV every time we stepped out of our RV. Of the 96 sites 19 have sewer. All sites have some type of electric hookup, 30 or 50 amp, all have cable and water. Wi-fi is being offered for free on a temporary basis ( while being tested per park staff ) and did not work at our site ( #11 ) The dump site is accessible on exiting the park but is located on very sandy soil. It had rained prior to our leaving and we were hesitant to travel through the dump area for fear of sinking or getting stuck. We travel/live in a 41 foot class 'A' and had no problems traveling the roadways to the park as well as within the park. Who ever laid out this park understood the need to angle the sites to make backing into them easier - it was well done. The park offers hiking/biking trails,river access, fishing and swimming. It is also close to Brunswick, St Simon & Jeckyll Island. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great county park. We have stayed here several times and will return. Dirt road and sites. They are building more sites with sewer. We will stay here again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We loved this park. The sites were spacious with considerable vegetation providing quite a bit of privacy. There were also fire rings unlike many campgrounds we stayed at in the south. This park is sort of like a botanical sanctuary. There are many nature trails with lots of Spanish moss, we rode our bikes through several of them. The park sits on a river and has a boat launch and docking areas where you can fish from. There are also several ponds, one of which is for swimming. It was too cold in March to consider that option. The town of Brunswick is just a couple of miles away from this park. We want to come back to tour that area. We enjoyed this park immensely and would definitely return. We had full hookups including wi-fi/cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Reading previous reviews is why we camped here. It was nice but not all that. Dirt roads and camp sites made our stay not as pleasant as it could have been. Speed limit of 5mph was not honored even by staff vehicles. This is what made it so dusty. We will not be back unless they can pave or put some rock down. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I can't say enough good things about this park. The earlier reviews have been dead on. The campground is within a county park, so the rate is reasonable, and they have 50 amp electric, water, sewer, free cable, and free WIFI. For a really nice view, park in sites 1-12 which face the lake. The whole area is so picturesque. While there are no organized activities, the park has boat rentals, a playground, a boat ramp, and plenty of walking and biking trails. It's also very conveniently located to explore nearby Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island. Staff is friendly and helpful. There are fire rings/pits at the sites, and you can buy firewood in the office that they will deliver to your site. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because the sites are dirt, and the tree canopy is so heavy that we couldn't get a satellite signal. Will definitely stay here again. If you like a park with bingo in the rec center every night, this may not be for you. But if you just like to get away from it all and be surrounded by nature, you'll love it here! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great campground! We used this website to research campgrounds in the Brunswick, Georgia area before deciding on Blythe Island Regional Campground. It was a good decision. The campground is laid out very well. We were in site #11 which faces the pond on the grounds. There were many beautiful trees with Spanish moss. We travel with our two dogs. The park is very pet friendly and there were many places to take the dogs for nice walks. The bath houses were kept clean although they were a little outdated. As previous reviews have stated, the roads and sites are dirt. It would be perfect if the sites were paved. We rode through Golden Isles and the campground on Jekyll Island while we were in the area. Blythe Island is definitely much better than either of those campgrounds. There is a great little restaurant not far from the campground - Country Market at the Flying J Travel Plaza. We ate there for breakfast, lunch and dinner on different days. It's a great value with very friendly people. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very nice state run campground. Lots of trees and dirt roads. Most sites are level. There is a lake with seasonal fresh water fishing and right around the bend there is a salt water inlet/boat ramp. The campground is well maintained and repairs are made very quickly once reported. We were there for over a month and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place. Big sites, very clean, great staff. We we're intending on just a overnighter buy decided to stay over. Previous post said not big rig friendly because of roads. We did not have this problem with a 38 foot coach pulling a 20 foot car trailer. Can't wait to go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This may be the best campground we have ever stayed in. We arrived on Thanksgiving Day and got the last RV site. It has water and 50 amp power, with the water right across the street. Free WiFI and cable TV in a campground! Plenty of room for big rigs like ours. Lots of easy trails to hike or bike. Very large level sites with trees between them for some privacy. No highway noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a really lovely park. Two small issues. 1. No camp store. 2. WiFi is odd. Strong signal, but could not connect to internet until I was right near office. Still, a great place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great county managed CG, they have FREE WiFi good speed and strong signal,they even have free cable TV. Very helpful staffs. The only complain is the mosquitos, we were there on September, it might be better in the winter season. We will come back to this CG. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We only stayed here one night on our way to WDW, but wished we could've stayed longer. Our site was shaded and across the road from a lake. The campground was attractive and we saw an area where boats were being launched. Easy to get to, looked like a nice place for an extended stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here for a week in April 2005. The park is absolutely beautiful, if you enjoy the outdoors, this is the campground for you. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. We have reservations for the first week of April this year (2007), and we are looking forward to it. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 are the sand gnats, they can be tough to deal with early in the Spring. One tip for gnat relief, use Skin so Soft from Avon to keep them at bay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was a great find. Very clean and well kept, friendly staff. Roads are packed
sand and crushed rock. Many large shade trees, but they are not in the way when backing or on the roads. About 6 miles off of I-95. I'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A very nice family oriented park. No alcoholic beverages allowed. Fire rings at each site.
Firewood is a bit expensive, $11.50 for 20 pieces hardwood. Fresh water and salt water fishing available. Very friendly staff. Rest rooms were clean except
for the mold and mildew on shower curtains. Lots of area to walk and enjoy nature. We camped here in a Motorhome.

True campsite with fire pit (yes, we roasted weinies by the fire in 36 degrees temps!) E/W only at site. Would be a great place to camp in warmer weather and well shaded with access to private lake. We were there in mid January. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is O.k. for small class C motorhomes or small class A motorhomes. Very hard to drive to site due to small roads and low trees. All sites were sand and shell, you track this inside. Park is very quiet at night. Lot of land to walk around on. Staff was very nice. We camped here in a camper.

One of my favorites. There is just too many amenities to list them here. No pool to swim in, but a nice lake with beach. This is one place that will appeal to you, whether you have a tent, a pop-up, a trailer, a motor home, or even a Prevost. Well, the latter may not like having gravel roads and only 30 amps, but everyone else will like this. Very clean and tidy. We camped here in a camper.
Nice place, though I used it just for a stop-over while whizzing north. Seemed to be nicely laid out. easy to get to. Am sure to keep it in mind again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I give this park a 4 simply for its location and the free Wi-Fi and cable. The sites are narrow, the campground has not been improved in the two years since we were here last and the same tired trailers of permanent residents are still here. At lunchtime the parking lot out front is packed for the noon buffet, the staff is friendly and the price using Passport America is very reasonable for a full hook up 50 amp site with cable and Wi-Fi. We were next door to a family with several children and a pit bull. Enough said. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was one of the times when I kick myself for not stopping in front of the campground, asking to go walk inside and see some of the sites first. I would never, ever stay here again. I wish I could post some of the photos I took. I did hear the restaurant was good but it was closed by the time we arrived (only for breakfast and lunch). There seems to be a lot of activity during the day when many people are working. Seems you can earn your site free and daily buffet lunches if you work 20 to 25 hours a week. There were a lot of long term rv's here and a lot of OLD ones. Most should have antique license plates on them! The staff was very nice during check in. I reported a serious water leak coming out of the top screw of the water handle and they said someone would come fix it but no one did. I just let the water flow. There is a lot of road construction nearby on I95 and it also appears a lot of workers are staying in this "campground". There were not hardly any children there and I would not recommend you taking yours there...(we have none)..Enough said! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites were close and cramped. Lots of live in workers. Good overnighter but not a destination place. Other side of this was friendly staff and great little restaurant. Would stay overnight again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites are very narrow and not kept up. Coke bottles used for sewer plugs. An awning may be covering the utilities of the adjoining site. It appears that renovations were started but are either stopped or very slow. The bathhouses were clean. Wireless was available and working. There are a large number of permanent residents in rundown travel trailers living in the park. There are several other parks close by that are much better. We would not return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My comments about this campground may be obsolete and I hope they have upgraded their act. They would not honor my reservations (passport America) claimed they were full and wanted full price. I would not pay the full price to stay there. It appears their interest in the on-site restaurant was of greater importance than the Campground. Don't use their restrooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.
