Another great GA state park. GA has some of the best state park campgrounds we have come across in 30 plus states visited. We love the park and the area. Richmond Hill is a wonderful Savannah suburb. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful park. The sites are large and private. We stayed in site 16, the site was close to level, but we did have to make allowances for the tree roots. Local TV reception was fine. Bathrooms were clean. If you like lots of water when you shower, use the older bathroom down by the fishing pier. Will stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent state park campground. All large pull thru sites, spread far apart. Lots of shade. Satellite signal availability iffy, had to use portable dish and 100' of cable to stretch out to open field. Beautiful boat landing. Drawbacks: Georgia State Parks accept reservations, but not for any specific site. Also no-see-ums are out early in morn and late in afternoon, and this was February, about 73 degrees. Still, nice access to Savannah, and for $18 nightly, a good deal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was alittle out of the way but worth the stay! With all the overgrown live oaks covered in spanish moss,it had a very cozy, old time feel. My daughter said it was "SPOOKY". THe staff was very friendly and the campground was very clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Paved road winds through the trees, sites are sand/gravel and mostly pull-through. Sand gnats were so plentiful the day we checked in that you couldn't take a deep breath, but there was a breeze the other days, so no gnats. Sites are large, with lots of trees, and well spaced apart. There is a brand new bath house, but we did not use it. This park is a bit farther from Savannah, but nice to go back to after a day in town. Lots of good markets, shopping, gas and restaurants nearby. Verizon cell worked well, but aircard signal weak and slow. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice and very clean. The wife and I truly enjoyed ourselves. The main bathroom is brand new and was immaculate. Everyone was helpful and courteous. There is a brand new boat dock just off the campgrounds. Most of the sites are pull-through sites and there is a separate area for tent camping. The fort and its museum are well maintained and rather interesting. We will camp here again. Watch the sand fleas/gnats! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A great natural setting with fantastic views. Easy check-in up until 10pm. Very convenient pull-thru wooded sites. The sites have fire rings with sturdy grills for cooking your steaks! Firewood available for purchase. Note that there are no sewer hookups so plan accordingly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground was on an island. All sites were pull thru, however some would have been really tight for a large RV. It was peaceful. While sitting inside (to buggy outside for the PA boy) we saw a pretty doe meander by. Next morning I saw brother Raccoon checking out thievery prospects. This was an overnight spot so we didn't have an opportunity to visit the Fort. It is a little off the Intestate for an overnight stop, but we like seeing new places. I would stay again, hopefully for a longer period. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our second visit. The sites are very large, treed, picnic tables & grills. The roads are paved and the sites are dirt/sand. Laundry (one w/d)and restrooms are clean and not too much of a walk. We love this place, but the "no seeums" (gnats) were very much in evidence this time. At the entrance is Ft. McAllister, a Confederate museum and fort. Very special and well kept. It's a very long walk from the campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Outstanding park, need to spend a couple of nights here. It is not a place to pass through, it is just too nice. Full rate is $20, but 62+ receives a 20% discount. Great for peace and quiet or to explore Savannah. We highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park with lots of wildlife. Rest rooms were very nice and clean. Fishing pier was at campground for campers and had a boat ramp. Campsite were clean and level with a fire ring and picnic table at every site. Bugs weren't a problem while we were there but it looks like the kind of place were they could get real bad. Not a real exciting campground, but if a peaceful, clean campground off the beaten path with lots of wildlife is your thing, I think you will like Fort McCallister campground.

We stayed here three nights during the week after Christmas and on New Years Day. The
campground is situated among very thick willow trees. Some of the campsites are very secluded while some of the pull-thru's are designed more for those that don't mind seeing their neighbors or those camping in groups. For big rigs, the closely spaced trees could be an issue. But I don't have a big rig, so I couldn't tell. The campsites are dirt, but fairly level. The campground is very quiet and dark at night. The campground, situated on a swamp-like river, is secluded from the park entrance by a causeway that is about 1 mile long. To gain access you must go through an electronic gate. There is plenty of wildlife in this park. The interior roads are well paved. Also, there is plenty of pretty scenery. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean bath houses, good paved roads. Lots of trees and shade, but the trees do not limit
the ablity to maneuver with a large travel trailer. Most, if not all, sites are pull thru. Water and 30 amp electric are the only hook ups. Dump station easy to get in and out of. Has a playground, fishing pier and boat ramp specificially for campers. Camping area is seperated from the rest of the park by a coded gate. For a campground right on the marsh, I was surprised that the bugs were not that bad. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Bathrooms and showers were very clean and there was also a hair dryer in the women shower which was a nice extra. Check in was easy and office staff very pleasant. Some road noise but given the proximity to I-95 it was expected and actually not too bad. I have to question the wisdom of cutting down tree branches at 8 AM - seems a bit rude. The leave blowers were also obnoxious. Finally, beyond the campground is a private lake front community with several folks living there full time. Although the stated speed limit is 5 MPH, these folks were blowing through at around 25 MPH. Pretty obnoxious. But we were there just for an overnight and it was okay for that purpose. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Check in was smooth and staff friendly. Wi-Fi works well although a new code must be entered daily, not sure why. Nice small lake. Place clean and well maintained. Pull thru site not as long as most KOA's so had to unhook dinghy. Near two major roads but noise tolerable. Noise within the park another story. One afternoon it was the leaf blower, then were awakened by tree trimming, take down and stump grinding at, get this, 8AM. Ridiculous. Then it was the power washing around the office building. I understand wanting to keep the park neat and clean but at what cost to the customer? Might return for an overnight only since I-95 access is very close. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very easy registration, wi-fi, easy to maneuver in and out of campground. 35 acre lake made for relaxing on park bench while watching various birds including ducks and egrets along the shore, and quietness was also appreciated. Easy to get on and off I-95 to Savannah, and staff gave very good directions on the free map in the office. Some trees were being taken out while we were there, so ease of getting big rigs into sites, etc. should be easier once that project is completed. Clean facilities, and store was stocked with campers in mind. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Campground roads are very narrow and it was hard to exit pull through sites in a big rig. Also, campground is infested with sand gnats that leave bites much worse than mosquitoes! Staff are indifferent to insect problem, and don't bother to inform campers that they have a sand gnat problem. Easy to prevent bites by using insect repellent, but since sand gnats are too small to see, the staff should alert visitors so they can protect themselves!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a nice three night stay. Savannah is wonderful and very close. The staff was very nice. The store is well stocked, they even have RV bulbs and fuses. The sites are not concrete, they are sandy/grass. This was okay with us as we did not expect much more, especially for the price. The cable was good. There was some HD TV off air access. There are limited satellite sites. There are a limited number of big rig sites. There is some road noise, which was hidden when we ran a fan. The lake was nice and peaceful, with plenty of waterfowl. The park is dog friendly. They lead you to your site and pick up trash at site. The internet was robust. We are not sure why a previous review was so negative. We camped here in a Motorhome.

From the rude person at the check in counter to the dirt/sand overpriced space, this is a place to avoid. We did have a very small,very sparse patch of grass at the back end of the space that was of no use. The ground was wet so it was almost impossible not to track the dirt/sand into our RV. Have these people not heard of gravel,cement,or grass. This place makes a Wal-Mart parking lot look like the Ritz. We stayed there in a motorhome, but not again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a typical KOA off the Interstate, very dusty, and we had 4 inches of rain while setting up so the lake in the campground was really nice. I can't fault a site because of the weather though, the bathrooms were clean and air conditioned. The store was well stocked. The laundry room is not large enough for this site. Sites were very tight, but all in all we would stay here again if passing through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very nice KOA close to the interstate. All the campground workers were friendly and gave great tips on what to see and where to eat. The only negatives I would give is the sites are sandy so you track a lot in your unit. Also, there are no grassy sites so you have to walk your dog along route 17 with alot of traffic going by.

This is a very nice KOA: on a lake with ducks and swans that roost in the trees in the middle of the lake. It was very quiet even though they get a lot of overnight campers from the interstate nearby. I never heard any of them leaving early in the morning even though they would be mostly gone by the time I woke-up. The office staff are very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stopped for a night here on our way to Florida. Great staff, clean park. Sites are close and not very private, but it's fine for a couple of days to see Savannah. They have an Old Town Trolley that will come pick you up and bring you back. Easy to get to Savannah by car if you have a tow vehicle. Easy to get to right off of I-95. We really enjoy stopping here on our way south. Our Dog likes it too! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place. Staff outstanding. When we arrived the computers was down, so there were some glitches with check-in and spot assignment. Staff bent over backwards to accommodate us. Computers were back on line just after we settled in and a staff member stopped by to make sure everything was O.K. and to ask if we needed anything else. Clean and tranquil.

A few sites are long enough for big rigs; medium-sized ones will be happier with the fit. Lots of trees and narrow CG roads with tight turns; campsite surfaces are natural dirt; trees help keep sites a little farther apart than often found in private campgrounds, and provide nice shade. Friendly staff, escort to site provided. Fairly well-stocked store in office, though gift assortment better than necessities. Placement of utilities varies with each site. Lakeside sites are back-in and very close together with no vegetation between. Campground has semi-tame ducks, geese & swans; ducks wander the campsites. Seasonal/long-term section separate from short-term section of CG and has very nice rental cabins around the lake. Savannah tourist trolley sends scheduled shuttle to campground for pickup and return. Campground convenient to US 17 and I-95; some road noise from both, also the obligatory train running nearby. Other than state parks, this may be the best option in Savannah area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The rate is based on a weekly rate (pay for 5 get 2 free) and included four coupons for the Nomadisp WIFI system. As others have mentioned there are a number of long term stays and cottages in the rear section of the park. We did not notice any traffic problems or noise as we were on an outside loop away from the main traffic flow. We were disappointed that the larger lakefront sites were all taken by the workampers and unavailable to visitors. During our previous visit in 2008, the workampers were in the long term stay area and we had a beautiful backin site on the lake. We would stay at this park again if in the area.

I have stayed here before. It is always a stop over. They have a lot going for them with the lake etc. BUT there are cottages farther back in the park which have people living in them so early morning traffic going by your RV is extensive. Also this time when we pulled into our site, there were 4 piles of dog poop we had to avoid while setting up. Because of these thing I rated this low. The poop alone is unacceptable... they should be checking the sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great staff. Super friendly and helpful. Since this is located just off of I-95, it is a very busy park for the "one night stop" folks heading south for the winter. We stayed here 11 nights and had new neighbors almost every night while here. Sites are fairly close together with lots of shade. The lake is nice and full of many different types of geese, ducks and a few small gators. We rented a small jon boat one afternoon and the staff didn't even charge us the $3.00/hour fee. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really enjoyed this park. I could see why some would not like it but it is a nice, clean park and a very friendly staff. We were in site #11 and was told that if we had any problems fitting in the site to let them know. The site was nice and level and we had plenty of room for our rear bedroom slide. I do agree there is a lot of sand, but it was not that big of an issue with us. We did have some road noise but then again, that was not that big of an issue. Even when the rain started our site did not become messy. We are already planning another trip to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It is close to traffic so you do get some noise. Sites are nice and shaded. Nice and wide for larger RV's. One thing I didn't like was the internet. For one, you got one code. So if you and your mate has a computer, one of you will have to pay for it. Second, the connection was weak & slow. When we did ask about getting a second code, they told us it was one per day. So everyday you have to go up to the office to get another code. That was a pain. Plus it stinks to pay for a connection that doesn't work very well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access from I-95. There is a T/A travel center also at this exit if fuel is needed. The campground has many pine trees for shade, but that means there isn't much grass. In the rain there is a lot of sand and some mud to walk in, not well drained. The sites are adequate for pull thru sites. WiFi works OK, but there is a charge, $9 for 3 days.

In my opinion, a very nice park. The sites are sand which some folks do not like. We stayed over St. Patrick's Day weekend when any accommodations were very hard to find and feel extremely lucky to have found such a nice campground. We passed several other campgrounds on US 17 on our travels around Savannah. Most were very close to the highway, with small sites and did not appear that well kept. We had an extremely large back in site at the end of a row. Some of the long pull through sites appeared to be narrow. We met several other campers that were repeat customers. There is a fairly large section of the park, primarily dedicated to snowbirds and longer term rentals. The park is far enough from the highway and train tracks that the noise is not a big issue.

Beautiful campground. Quiet, nice sites on packed sand. Close to Savannah and State Parks. We cannot hear the noise from the roadway, which is a plus. The only thing that would make it perfect is if they would provide wi-fi free of charge. As it is now, you have to pay $19 for a weeks worth of wi-fi. It works most of the time, but for the cost of the site, this would be a plus. We will stay here again. These people are out every day keeping the place spotless. We camped her a week.

We made reservations at the Savannah South KOA Campground and when we arrived the office person said we would be parked on the lake. We were escorted to site #52 and our assigned spot was #13. I called the office and explained that we were in the wrong spot and the view was a big black tube out our front window. The person I spoke with stated she was the owner and if we didn't like our spot we could just leave. She did say someone would come down and we could change places with our friends who were put on our spot. The spot she put us in was so bad that I wouldn't have expected our friends to take it as they were also already set up. Why would this spot be used with so many better empty spots? My husband went to the office and she started screaming at him. This verbal attack was witnessed by other park visitors who informed me that it was not provoked by my husband. The owner who was actually the manager then told my husband that one more word and she was throwing him out. Everyone that we talked with was not impressed with the management including the staff. We then discovered that we were parked in the doggy dumpster area. Our view from our motorhome consisted of dogs pooping continually. We had asked if we could be moved by the water as there was three empty spaces for three days. The answer was no of course. She then put a motorhome there longer than ours. We toughed it out for four days due to lack of other campground openings. We have never been treated so badly and we have camped for 30 years. We found this campground to be over run with ants and mosquitos and in general not very tidy. Other campers were just disgusted with the dysfunctional management and packed up and left. It was interesting that when we received our KOA Kard it stated that with the Kard goes a promise of the best site. The pictures that I took from our motorhome tells the story. Many staff workers complained about the manager to campers too. I was even told by two of them who to complain to and where to send the pictures. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is ideally located right off of I-95 in Georgia. It is a lovely place with a large pond. It is well manicured and very clean. The staff takes great pride in the appearance and customer service; it's a shame the manager doesn't feel the same. I made reservations on-line for a two-night stay in April for October with the intent of visiting Savannah, Georgia. While I found mixed reviews on-line, overall this campground provided the amenities and location we desired for our week-end stay. We traveled from Maryland to Georgia and on the day of arrival I called to verify our reservation and ensure a large site for our 40-ft motor home and trailer. The staff member who answered my call was friendly and helpful. She very quickly recognized there was only one large site, referenced as 70 feet, and I was told she would reserve it for us. Upon arrival, I was met outside the office by one of the staff who inquired about my reservation. I showed her the reservation and was promptly met at the door inside the office by the manager, who advised they “could not accommodate” my motor home and trailer. She advised a woman behind the counter to issue a full refund for my deposit. I asked if we could unhook and was told there was no where to put the trailer. She repeated several times, “We can not accommodate you.” When I asked what she expected me to do, she advised I should find another camp ground and suggested one in South Carolina. I left the office and returned with my boyfriend to inquire about alternatives. Once back in the office another manager, was present and through negotiation we were able to unhook the trailer and park in front of the office. We were not offered the opportunity to view the site and determine other options. After arriving at the campsite, we realized there was no need to unhook. I was shocked and disappointed by the lack of customer interest displayed by the manager. Not only was she rude, she was argumentative. She made no attempt to offer resolutions until the second manager was present. The staff was noticeably disturbed by the incident and offered numerous apologies. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 3 nights while visiting Savannah. You can catch a trolley tour bus at the camp store that will take you on a one hour tour of Savannah then return you to the camp store. We enjoyed sitting on the park benches watching swans in the park lake. This park is not close to downtown Savannah. We camped here in a Motorhome.

From previous posts and our experience, it seems site reservations and coordination of groups is a problem for this campground. We had reserved 3 side-by-side sites for 3 nights. One in our party tried to cancel 2 days in advance. He could never get anybody to answer the phone. He left a message on the answering machine stating he had to cancel. When he called again the next day, he was told since he did not give 48 hours notice he was going to be charged for one night. He told them he left a message on their machine. They said they never got the message. When I originally made my reservation, I could never get an answer either. I left a message and they returned my call within an hour. When I arrived, I double checked to make sure the other camper in our party was going to be in the site next to ours. They confirmed this and said it was not a problem. When our other camper showed up a few hours later, they were assigned a site 2 spots away. When we complained at the office, we were told they already promised the site to somebody else. I told them that is not what I was told earlier. They said nothing could be changed. Later that evening an overnight camper showed up on that site, but there were many other empty spots that they could have been sent to. With as many open sites as they had, they could have very easily had us in side by side sites. This is just an average campground. The sites are fairly level and all sandy soil. It is convenient to get to from I-95 and the ride to downtown Savannah is not too bad. The pool area was clean. In the office, they had a nicely stocked store. The next time we are in Savannah we will probably stay somewhere else. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not to be redundant, we agree with all the positive comments prior to this post. Manager and staff were friendly and very accomodating. We camped in a 45' prevost and were given a nice pull through. There is one turn on the way out that is very tight if towing. While a little bit of an inconvienience its probably better to unhook the tow before exiting if you're in a 45'.

Stayed in this park overnight while traveling home from Orlando. Called and requested a pull-through said and was told they had none so we were given a back-in site. We were given a tent site - and our popup trailer barely fit in the space. Our back bunk was about 2 inches from a tree and our front bunk was almost in the roadway. Our van had to be squeezed into the site. We noticed many pull through sites at this time but again at check-in we were told they had no pull throughs available. Campground backs up to a very nice, clean lake with fishing available to campers. Since our campsite was on the lakeside, other campers kept walking through our campsite to view the lake - they were literally walking right next to our door and windows. Our neighbors (who appeared to be 18-20 yrs old) arrived while we had gone out to fill up on gas. They had pitched their tent on our campsite directly under our back bunk along with their picnic table. We decided to let it go since we were only staying overnight. Very loud with kids and adults yelling and screaming until well past 11 p.m. Before bed we observed about 10 pull through sites still available. In the morning, our teenage neighbors awoke and promptly dumped all their leftover food from the night before on the ground - causing every duck in 10 miles to invade the area. While leaving we still saw 10 pull through sites still available even after we were told they had no pull-throughs. Clean bathrooms and showers. Small pool but we didn't bother to check it out. Would stay here again due to the convenient location, but this time insist on pull through site away from the lakeside. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I am staying here as an extended stay guest. The extended stay rate is the best in the area. As of 6/2007, it is $270 per month, plus $30 for cable, plus electric and LP. Compared to other campsites I looked at making an extended stay at, the KOA offers the lowest rate, Cable TV (that you can call Comcast and get cable modem connected to at your cost), beautiful wooded sites that you can stretch out on, catch-and-eat fishing from the lake, 1 minute from I-95, and a store stocked with essential RV'ing goodies and groceries(though the prices will make you look for the closest Wal Mart). Though staff is VERY friendly, it can be a good thing to just take some matters in your own hands. This KOA has VERY few tent sites - 5 total. If you tent, PLEASE call for reservations. Pool is very clean but can be busy. I'm very happy here and have no hurries to leave. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

While KOA is not usually my choice due to corporate "cookie-cutter" qualities, I was really impressed with this campground. More spacious sites than usual with good but not intrusive tree cover and easy in and out - and the most convenient full hookup park for exploring Savannah. But besides that, when you find nice sites with great management, you've really found a winner! The managers were some of the best I've seen in almost 6 years of full timing. They're experienced RV'ers themselves, so know what they want in a park and go above and beyond to provide it to their guests. Immaculate restrooms/showers and friendly service. Highly recommend it!

What a pleasure! From the moment we turned into the beautiful entrance we could tell that our choice for our "home away from home" in Savannah was a great one. The front desk was staffed by the most pleasant and courteous staff we could have hoped to be served by. We later discovered that this to be the manager and we were most impressed that she and her husband were both willing to not only manage the park but to put in time working and providing excellent service to their guests. Our site was a spacious pull-through. Although we've had larger sites at other parks, we had no complaints with this site. It was long enough for us to leave our tow car attached although many others we observed did disconnect and park in the front of their rigs. The grounds were well kept and the lake was lovely. A calming evening was spent gazing at the swans swimming along the shore. Although we use our own restroom and shower facilities, we took a peek at the park bathouse and found it sparkling clean. The campground store was stocked with all the items any camper could want or need. Quite a variety of groceries, snacks, sodas, and ice cream. We recommend this park to anyone wishing to spend time in a park that offers the comforts and care often only found when visiting an old friend. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground. We stayed overnight on our way to Florida and were treated very hospitably. The sites were large enough for our 43 foot MH and well-maintained. The camp store was well-stocked, and the workers were so friendly and helpful. The owners themselves are on site and were available if needed. The villas in the rear of the campground are beautiful, and the lake and pool areas are very attractive. Many stores and restaurants nearby as well as easy on/off access. We would definitely stay here again and would like to visit in the summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We will never stay here again. Called the day before arrival for reservations. Told we didn't need them. Got there didn't have any regular sites open. We were put in area located with permanent sites. Hard to get into because of all the extra stuff around the permanent sites. Office staff could have cared less. Cable TV didn't work. Reported it, but never got fixed while we were there. Upon check-in, printer was not working for receipt of credit card. Told to come back when it was working. How was I supposed to know that.

We found this campground just right for us! We had a back-in lakefront spot that gave us a wonderful view. The swans, geese, ibis, heron, egret and other birds were beautiful. The pull-thru spots were average and you might miss the ambiance of the lake if you park there. The employees were very nice and helpful. We did not notice the muddy holes that others have reported and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is OK for an over night stop. It is very close to I95 which gives some road noise. There are also trains near which also give some noise. Not far from historic Savannah. Interior roads were a little dusty and the pine trees are not friendly to the finish on your tow vehicle or RV. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This KOA could use some repairs on the internal roads. When it rains, they are pools of mud. The many pine tree roots make the sites very bumpy and unlevel. This could be much nicer if the owners would do some maintenance on the grounds. The modem hookup is in a rec room and is only available during certain hours. WiFi would be a definite improvement.

We live in Florida, and we usually stay at this campground overnight while passing through Georgia on I-95. It is easily accessed from the interstate and has pull through sites big enough for our 40-foot motor home. The campground includes a pretty lake with swans, geese, ducks and other water fowl. The only problems we have encountered were deep mud puddles after heavy rain -- right in the middle of the roads, so your RV or towed vehicle had to plow through them. Most of the time we have found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. However, the last visit we registered with friendly but poorly trained teenagers who didn't know how to operate the credit card machine, and who couldn't answer any questions. An excellent nearby (10 minutes by car) restaurant is Love's Seafood on Highway 17, one of the main reasons we always stop here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campgrond was ok for overnight only - wouldn't want to stay longer. No view or charm, but it is convenient to the highway; easy on and off. Before taking a shower I had to pick-up used band-aids, gum, q-tips and several globs of hair. Then the drain backed up into the shower - yuk! The office was staffed by teenagers who acted like they were doing you a favor by checking you in. I strongly feel that the campground is way overpriced ($43/night) for the condition it was in. I like animals, but I do not find waterfowl or any loose pets wandering the campground desirable; I don't like stepping in what they leave behind! However, to the campgound's benefit, they did send us an e-mail thank you note after our stay. Thank you notes are very rare these days! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has tremendous potential, but alas through either a lack of caring or lack of funds, the overall condition of this park is dreadful. From check in, the park is no where near what we've come to expect from KOA standards. There was no one over the age of 18 working in the office at any time, the massive puddles quickly became lakes all throughout the campground making navigation impossible. The "water fowl" write up sounds charming, until you see that there's about 500 in the road ways at all times. The 2 nights we were there, our neighbours were without power for many hours at a time, this during 90+ degree heat and equal humidity. Upon leaving the campground, the much advertised and needed Rig wash had about as much water pressure as a tot's water pistol and to add insult to injury, the hose is only long enough to do one side of your rig. Perfect! Overall an experience that is much below the usually high KOA standard. Would never return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Decent campground. Owners very friendly and helpful. Not exactly close to Savannah, that's
about another 25 minute drive. Convenient location with restaurants, fuel, etc., close-by. Interstate access within 1 mile. Campground was very muddy when we were there, roads in campground need a lot of gravel. When driving out it was impossible to avoid huge mud-puddles in the middle of the road, got the rig filthy. Also, the pull-through campsite we camped on was mostly sand, so we were constantly cleaning that out of the motorhome. Has an RV wash station which was a nice touch--you're gonna need it if you camp here in the rainy season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I wanted to post this as a precaution to anyone who may want to cancel reservations at
this park. I had made reservations for a week in July. After making the reservations, we had an after thought to see if campfires were permitted. I called, they told me not on the sites, we would have to go to a general gathering area where they have a firepit. I discussed with my husband and we decided to cancel. I called Saturday, before the cancellation deadline and a gentleman was very nice and told me he would leave a note for the manager. I checked my Visa and was charged one night camping. When I called the manager she told me she would have to check her records and call me back. It appears he didn't give her the message until a day later (Sunday) which would have put us past the 36 hour deadline. She basically, told us her staff wouldn't lie about when we called. They appear to have a manual system for reservations/cancellations. Make sure you get some type of confirmation or proof of cancellation. We could of actually sent our cell phone log, for proof of when we called. But, we chalked it up to a lesson well learned. I've never encounter a campground, basically calling us a liar. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I am working in the area for 4 months. I originally made reservations for this campground
but was unable to find the site the day I arrived. I was short on time and chose to park my camper at Bellaire Woods down the road. I left a message for the owner and he returned my call. I let him know I had not been able to find his campgound so I chose to stay somewhere else because of time constraints. I had actually talked to him the previous day to make my reservation and he was full, on monthly's but would make room for me. So I knew he had gone to some effort for me and I felt badly about not making it to his site. He was very gracious and requested that I give him a call if I later decided I might like to move sites. Well Bellaire Woods was a nightmare and I am now here at Waterway and extremely!, extremely!(Yes I meant to type that twice) happy to among polite company once again.

Very difficult to navigate into spots with a larger rig. Ours is only 311/2ft fiver and it was very hard. Sewage problems the whole time we were there despite repeated requests to attend to the problems. Electricity is a whopping 0.13 cents per KWH if you stay monthly and it adds up, believe me! NO WATER pressure. Unable to use laundry because of soap left in clothes.No good laundromats nearby. Many residents occupy the river sites. Nothing more than a trailer park. We will never return to this place which always smells like a sewer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
