A rustic campground with dirt sites but very convenient access to Savannah . Very helpful staff . Beware of low-hanging electrical lines ...our CB antenna would have contacted them during departure.We left using the entrance road to avoid this hazard. Apparently other customers have brought the hazard to staff's attention. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First the good things. It is convenient to an overnight off I95 and close to Savannah. The best sites are in the "fish camp" area, which are sites 1-50. Request a pull through with 50 amp service. The staff at check in are very nice and quick host to site. Now the bad things. We were put in site 67, which is right next to extremely busy highway 204, though I purposely picked this campground due to being over 2 miles from noisy I95. The site at this campground may has well been in the median on I95. Even worse, the construction going on across the street. Our hookup was the most inconvenient thing we have ever experienced. The sewer hook up was 30 feet from the electric and water, making us pull out (luckily we had one) an extra length of water hose. It was a strange site with cut off tree stumps we had to be careful to avoid. We will come back here again but will be sure to ask for a quiet site in the back near the pretty little creek. It is real Southern Georgia swamp style, with old oaks and the hanging Spanish moss. The sites back there are quiet and peaceful. Odd "bath houses" with unisex shower, toilet, and sinks. Individual units which is actually nice, but be sure to bring your own soap. Even the sinks have no soap. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campsite using the internet. It apparently used to be called Bellaire Woods because that is the web site we found it on. The restroom/shower combination were clean but the showers are outdated. You have to keep pushing the button every few seconds to keep the water coming and the water never did get hot. The laundry is outdated but the machines work. The staff was friendly. There is a convenience store and service station that carries diesel at the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nasty unisex bathrooms with no soap or paper towels! Was told we were in lot #60; then moved us to a farther lot because we were Camp Club USA members. Did not keep to word that we could choose a different spot when we got there. Treated like white trash. No kayaks around as stated. Need soap or hand sanitizer! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Nice site with very friendly staff. Good facilities although the swimming pool is a little strange as it is only 4 foot deep at its deepest! Great base to explore Savannah from. Well stocked shop and gas station too! We would gladly stay there again. I believe that this site is now called Savannah Oaks RV Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has new owners and the name is now Savannah Oaks RV Park. We stayed here for 2 months. It is clean, office personal is great and the park is kept up. We have a 43 foot motorhome and had no problem with trees or driving through the park. We will definitely stay again when in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We affirm that AT&T is DEAD here..my next door neighbor was dead with Sprint too...this is odd as the CG is only 3 miles off I-95. Our site (109} was very shady but near the main highway so there was some noise..the biggest disappointment was the extremely small pad and almost no patio area (which was unimproved sandy ground). Wi-Fi seems to work most of the time for our 2 days and counting...pedestal power and cable TV were good, as well as water pressure...So if you are planning to chat on your ATT cellphone or spend a lot of time on your patio, you should try another place.... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first visit to the park. First, this is not any kind of resort! The park is old and needs to have some serious work done on the sites and road network. location is good to visit Savannah and the Savannah area. They do have some pads but they are too small to accommodate big rigs. In addition, if you have AT@T cell forget it!!! No signal! The Wi-Fi worked one day out of three while we were there. The sites near Hwy 204 are noisy, so stay away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After the last three reviews, we decided to stay at Savannah Oaks on our trip from southern Florida to the Pennsylvania area. Wow, what a disappointment. One review mentioned the sand sites and rain does not help with the "poor" condition of the sand. Yes, it is a very wooded Park and limbs and trees make a true test of moving a large rig to the site. The only good comment is regarding the long pull-through sites. Problems with trees, overhanging limbs, non-level sand sites, and the mosquitos, we would not return to this campground! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Savannah Oaks is a nice campground. If you are in the upper sites numbered 51 and up, you will hear road noise. The better sites were 50 - 100 down nearer the river. Plan to put your awning out and patio rug down as you will need it. The sand and leaves tracked into our RV continuously. The trees provided welcomed shade. The river walk area was very nice with a new dock/walkway. About 20 minutes into Savannah's historic district. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nicely wooded park with pull-through sites and a good bit of room between sites. The personnel were friendly and helpful. They offer a 10% discount for AARP and Good Sam rates. We enjoyed our stay here. There are a couple of issues you should be aware of; if you come in the gate after hours, you have to enter a code to raise the bar. DO NOT HESITATE after doing so. The bar comes down rapidly. Also, some of the sites are very near the highway, so if traffic noise is a problem for you, be sure to avoid these sites. All in all, a good park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Rate reflects weekly rate. This is an older park, well maintained with concrete pad pull thoughs and a very friendly staff. Heavily treed, with narrow inner roads. Easy access to Savannah and Hilton Head. Only thing we didn't like was the rule they have of not allowing use of washing machines in your motorhome. They insist you use their facilities. They claim it is harmful to their septic system. Funny, their washers are on the same system. Other than that issue, and of course the ever present mosquitos we have experienced all over Florida and Georgia, the park was fine. We were here for a week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interior roads are generally not paved but are in good condition. The park is kept very clean and neat. The staff is very friendly and the shade of the oak trees is great in warm weather. We stay here when we visit our grandchildren so we have stayed here a number of times. We try to stay in the area down by the river but most all sites are pretty level and many are paved. Present owners bought about three years ago and are continuously improving. Don't go by reviews more than two years old. (A good rule for any CG.) You should make reservation ahead as it stays busy particularly when the 'birds are flying north or south! There are some long term RV's here which detract a little from the "resort" image but they are not really a problem. There is a nice little park next door where you can walk down to the Ogeechee River if the water is not high. The water front at the CG is actually back water from the river with access to the main river. Access to Savannah is excellent via Interstate 95 or Hwy 204. Close to many food places but still in the woods! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We used this park twice on a trip to and from Florida for its easy access to I-95. It is 2.5 miles off the interstate. We had difficulty getting cell phone signals; the wireless internet and cable were excellent. We were escorted to our sites. The first night we were near the rear of the campground where it was very quiet. The pull-through site was level dirt/sand and shaded. On our return trip we had a pull-through gravel site, nearer the front, which was level and shaded. Some road noise even though the park is bounded by a privacy fence. On our second visit there were distant booming noises from the adjacent Ft. Stewart Military Reservation all evening and into the next morning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Escort to site but you are on your own to get located on the extremely narrow pads. Paved sites are level but gravel ones seemed to vary. The sites along the road (which we had) got more road noise than along any interstate that we have stayed. The sites further back should be much quieter. Too many people did not pick up after their dogs and the staff was not out early enough (10 AM) to observe any of this. (I have a dog and believe if you do not want to pick up after your pet, you should stay home or get rid of it). Downtown Savannah is about 20 minutes but is very easy to get to, interstate most of the way. AT&T cell signal is almost non-existent. Too many trees for satellite but the park cable is good as is Wi-Fi. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good location for access to Savannah, also to amenities. Friendly staff they even escorted us to our site. Fairly quiet location even though it is located near auxiliary highway. Nice nature park next door with lovely walking trails and canal. Gravel, level,shaded sites with huge oak trees. Excellent wWi-Fi and cable reception. Would return here again and recommend this for sightseeing Savannah. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed staying in this park. The only downside is they don't allow you to use your washer/dryer. This was inconvenient since we stayed over a week. It would not keep us from not staying there again though. If you love seafood, The Shell House is great, and so is Love's Seafood. The owner's of the park recommended these two restaurants, and we ended up going to both twice. All in all, a nice park, just make sure you're up with your laundry before you get there.

The park has good access with a convenience store that sells fuel (gas and diesel) next door. There is good security, flat sites, lots of trees for shade, good wifi, good cable. The location is about 2 miles from I-95 and about 20 minutes from Savannah. The 50 amp connectors are all mounted upside down that means your cable will stick straight up instead of down. I use a surge protector that I had to tie to the post with the connection for support. There are food stores and other shopping nearby. We would stay here again. For some reason our cell phone only got one bar here but worked very well at I-95. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A comfortable overnight stop about 2.6 miles off of I-95, this park has mostly level, gravel and dirt sites that are shaded by mature moss-draped Live Oak trees. The trees provide welcome shade and do not present any serious obstacles to general maneuvering. A discounted rate is available to Good Sam members. Both full hookup and W & E sites are available. The entry roads are hard surfaced but have several speed bumps. Most sites are narrow but adequate and many are over 65 ft long. Some sites have the utilities at the very back of the site so you may need to stretch your cables and hoses or limit your forward placement on the site if you are travelling in a motorhome, but we were able to keep the toad hooked up to a 40 ft coach on a pull thru site by using 20ft of sewer hose, a 20 ft water hose and just about all of the power cord, all stretched to the max. The shower and bath houses had private rooms, each with a shower, sink and toilet, but they were not very clean. We had very weak to no cell phone service at this location. There is a tidal inlet on the grounds and it appears that there are efforts underway to develop this asset. A new dock and bulkhead were already in place and some floating excavation equipment suggested that some dredging would be done to improve recreational water access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The sites vary in size, ours was level and packed sand. The cable reception was very good. There is a convenience store/ gas station on the premises-which we found quite useful. The pool is nice and clean. As this is a well established RV park, the oaks are magnificent and provide a great relief from the Savannah heat. There is a trolley that can pick you up at the CG for some sightseeing. The CG is a short drive to shopping/food/movies, etc. The only recommendations I have: The bath houses could have been kept cleaner, but they were adequate. There is ample room for a small fenced-in dog walk-to be able to let them off leash-even for a short while, is a plus. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park is ok, but is not a resort. Sites are mud and gravel. Lots of trees. If you want to launch your boat you better have a 4X4 vehicle. Good cable. WIFI has very poor coverage and was up and down a lot. People working in office didn't know anything about WIFI so when there was a problem, the owner had to be found before the problem was addressed. We paid $231 for a week. Rates are way too high. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Savannah Oaks was a last minute stopover for us on the way to Florida. Our first impression of the park was that it needed a Spring clean up. The staff was friendly and helpful, the other campers were friendly and outgoing. We'd stop again if we were in the area and needed a place to to stay. You are within 20 minutes of the historic riverfront area of Savannah so all of the city's sites are close by. There is a shuttle service from the campground available. Longhorn Steak House at exit 102 off of I-95 is a definite eating stop if you are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park - now called Savannah Oaks RV Resort- should keep its campground designation. For $38 a night, we got a dirt pull-through with no handle on the water spigot. The site was so unlevel that we had to reverse the bedding and pillows on the bed. We were so close to the next site that we had to turn up the television so that we didn't hear every word they said - our windows and door were closed. The trees were so tight on the site that I had to climb through the passenger seat on the toad to get to the driver's seat - we couldn't open the door. We'll never stay here again.

I have no idea why this park has not received good ratings. The new owners are great, very friendly and helpful. The park is big and spacious with gorgeous oak trees. Our site is amazing, ask for G8, it's a large pull through with a big lawned site yard, no neighbors and is very quiet. The sites are compacted sand and grass, yes we prefer paved but and it hasn't stopped raining so this is a good test, we have no mud, the water just soaks right away. The position of this park is excellent for visits into Downtown Savannah and close to hundreds of stores and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The management may have changed in this park but otherwise it is still the same. The manager left us waiting at the office door while she visited with the adjoining convenience store. She was a nasty piece of work. The site did have a concrete pad. The picnic tables are old, made of angle iron. Mine was broken and so rusty I would be scared to have children use this table. The bathrooms are never cleaned. They only have one male worker. He is supposed to do all the work. The office does not open until 10 in the a.m. There is no WIFI at the sites but you can use the wifi in the office. While I was in the office a camper called from her cell phone wanting a site. The young girl at the desk left the call to go to the answering machine while she flirted with the pizza delivery guy. I was there more than 30 minutes and she did not return the call. The CG is full of old deserted units and lots of boomers who live in old units. Very depressing. Last night the police attended to a fight between 2 girls who work at the CG convenience store. One left in an ambulance. Very trashy place. I would never stay here again!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for two nights while we toured Savannah. We were not really impressed with this campground and would try a different campground the next time we are in the area. The staff was sort of there, but they were not outwardly friendly or helpful. The campground is a mess and our site was fair at best - small, uneven, very little grass and a tree where our awning went out. Don't be fooled by the advertised river sites. The river is a swamp canal with alligators. The showers were large, but they were the push-timer type with not temperature control. They had a nice pool and a small playground that my kids enjoyed. They campground was very quiet. It was quite a longer drive to Savannah than I would have liked. We travel with two small children. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have been here at Savannah Oaks since February 2nd 2007 (came in on a seasonal/monthly basis and plan to stay here for a year or so) and have been absolutely tickled pick with the facility. The staff is very nice, helpful and it is a very clean, quiet and well maintained park. The other seasonal campers are very friendly and offer assistance if it is needed. Internet is available for the long term campers through the cable company for standard rates or there is a free computer set up in the office area. Savannah Oaks is an upscale r.v. park and the access to local Savannah tourist areas is quick and easy. Shopping and eating is within 5 minutes at Route 95. I absolutely recommend this park to anyone wanting a peaceful quiet vacation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is a good overnight stop on the way south. The personal were friendly. They escorted me to my site and waited to see if I need assistance to hook up. In general the facilities were adequate, but not anything special. The ground cover was gravel mixed with dirt. Even so, they were better than last year when we stayed here. The campground was quiet except or some road noise from n adjacent rod early in the evening. Although I didn't use the showers or restrooms, they seemed to be in satisfactory condition. One problem if you have children,there didn't seem to be much to keep them entertained here, although it is close to Savannah, where there is a lot to see and do. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Bellaire Woods is now known as Savannah Oaks RV Resort. The campground is apparently old and has changed ownership over the years. The park is mostly shaded with very old established water oaks. Unfortunately with the tree cover, there is no way to have grassy sites. The motorhome sites (we were in 109) have concrete paving only 8' 6" wide by approximately 40' long. Outside of that and you are on sandy soil or crusher run base material. Signage within the park is poor. In general, the park could use a great deal of modernization and maintenance but was acceptable for the price. The use of a portable dish is a must if you wish to have satellite TV or internet.

We had stayed here about 6 years ago when it was Bellaire Woods and experienced the nasty owner that everyone has talked about. It is now Savannah Oaks RV Resort. We decided to give it another try since it is under new ownership. When checking in, the girls in the office were polite and helpful. If there was someone in the office, the gate was opened for us when we reentered the park otherwise we had to use a code. Work is being done to upgrade the park; we saw a new pool and playground. Their sites however are average at best. We were on site 35. It was fairly level but barely wide enough to accommodate a triple slide MH. We had to jockey around to get it situated just right between trees and the power pole. The sites are paved with a large gravel stone which is uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. We were there for 5 days and did not see the bath house cleaned once. The floors were dirty and there was not any toilet paper in one. At $34.75 a night, I would not stay here again unless I heard they have made improvements to the sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here overnight passing though. We didn't use any of their facalties as we only stayed there one night. The check in was fast but make sure you call ahead of time as they require reservations. I only rated this as a 7 since we never used anything at the campground and we are unsure what the faculties are like. There was a escort to the campsite. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I think it should be noted that the campground is under new ownership since the past reviews. I have heard horror stories of the last owners from frequent visitors of the campground and they are tickled pink with the new ownership and the changes made. They even changed the name to Savannah Oaks RV Resort. We found the sites nice with a variety of views. A new pool was just finished and we even saw a few Barred Owls. The dock by the river could use some reinforcement, but overall it was a nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff was friendly, no problems encountered like in previous posts. Gave 10% discount for cash payment. We only stayed 1 night on our way south in Dec. 2005. Hookups were adequate, but no breakers on 50A plug and outlet cover was missing (possible electrocution hazard in wet weather) Park was quiet with some year-round guests. Easy to enter with a big rig and tow vehicle. Exiting the park was difficult due to wide U-turn getting back towards I-95. Park was about 25 mins from downtown Savannah. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the worst campground i have ever been in. The owner is a Legend in his own mind. My feelings when I got here was he could care less if you stayed here or not. He was very ruded. If you need a daddy fiqure someone who watches over you, someone who thinks every one wants to steal something from him. Tells you speed limit is 5 miles and he goes 20 because he says i owned the park. Raise your hood he runs over to you asking are you changing the oil. He threatends you even before you get in to throw you out. If you are vacationing this is not peace and queit. The web site is misleading the lake looks more like the black logoon,with the creature coming out any minute. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Shady sites nestled among mature trees. Very friendly staff who will guide you to your site and spot for you as you back in. Some sites are a challenge to get into with a big rig due to trees etc. There is a small boat dock, ramp and boardwalk. Not for swimming - alligators. They also provide a cleaning table for those who choose to fish. Savannah is about a 20 minute drive from this park. Access from I95 is easy (2 miles west) and there is an RV dealer with service bays one junction south on I95. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I am a prior Marine who has traveled worldwide and I can say without hesitation these
owners were some of the rudest most out of control individuals I have ever met. And that includes people who have shot at me and spit on me in different places where I was deployed. Abusive is the only word that can accurately describe the attitude of the owner and some staff. I finally left after 3 weeks opting to cut short my monthly with no refund. The showers were so poor two weeks into my stay I bought a gym membership to get a decent shower. The pay phones were ripped out 3 weeks into my stay after the payphone owners pulled one p****** off the owner so he demanded they all be pulled out and the internet access he advertises is pretty much non existant. If he were to go out on a corner and conduct himself in the same manner he does in his park he would go home in a box. He doesn't think twice about cursing at you repeatedly when you've done nothing but make the mistake of walking in when he is angry with someone else. I would stay at Wal Mart or a truck stop before I would ever stay there again. Actually I would never stay there again period. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The only redeeming factor this cg has it shade and its proximity to Savannah. I have never seen owners, managers and employees as rude anywhere in my life. When I checked in, the woman checking us in was having an argument on the phone with someone, not caring that there were customers waiting. This is one place I'd never go back to. I clicked on their website here and notice it wouldn't come up. That is a good thing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Woman at desk was very regimented and like one other person's comment like a Top Sargent. Not friendly at all. Rules and Regulation speech on everything you could not do. Lot of dumb rules. Lots of terrible stupid LARGE speed bumps everywhere and uncalled for. Office closes at 7:30 with no availability for late check-in's. Coed bathrooms at least in our area. Thumbs down. Would not stay there again. I don't think they realize that it is the customers that keep them in business. Maybe not for long at there wasn't that many campers there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Old fish camp on one side - needs work - bad. Other side is nice, large live oak trees to park under. Bathrooms and showers were clean - needs work. Large number of speed bumps - hard on large motor homes. Staff needs to understand we are a customers and not a soure of money. Gate code is changed every day and office is closed at 7:30 pm if do not have the new code you are locked out, hard to get to code box from car. Modem line in office is open at 10:00 am and I was told (you have 3 mins.) People are very impolite and need to think that we may come back some day. No work on anything on site, this is due to people own a repair shop next door and would not like to see lost dollars if you fixed a small item. Lot of dumb rules!!! O.K. for a stop over and then move on. We camped here in a camper.

Misleading ad, took our reservation over the phone but would not take my credit card (thank goodness) and the office closes at 7:30. That was not made known at the time of reservation and there are no late check ins. Owner was absolutely unreasonable, unprofessional, a liar, crooked scam artist. Aside from being rude, demeaning, unpleasant looking (good location was the only good thing we found). Took your money then found a reason to kick you out without refunding your money. This business can't live long. Needless to say we will not return and don't recommend it to anyone at any cost. We camped here in a camper.

Was treated very rude. Will not permit towing your 'dingy' into the campground: was first told that they didn't want you to tear up your car then told that they didn't want you to tear up their roads. Was practially yelled at because I started through the gate before they were ready to lead me to the campsite. Office closes at 7:30 P.M. with no means of contact with anyone in case of an emergency. Narrow uneven campsites and non covered electrical hookups with no breakers present at my campsite. Another camper told me that he had been there for a couple of weeks and was going to leave because of the rudeness of management. We camped here in a camper.

The campground is pretty nice but the owners/staff are rude. When we checked in, the gal gave her "rules & regulations" speech and additional information in a very curt, "top-sargent" manner. Upon returning from town, the owner rudely yelled at us when we were keying in the entry code at the gate - he wanted to know just who we were. When I answered, he rudely told me to put the hang tag on the mirror so he could see it!! Not wishing to advertise that we were tourists any more than we had to, we had taken it off - besides, it interferes with driving - and had forgotten to replace it. If we had more time to visit, I would have chosen to go to the Hunting Island CG or another place because I had read about the rudeness in the RV forum but this was handy for us and we were tired and ready to stop. I would not choose it again. We camped here in a camper.

Nice park but as the previous posts said, the RUDEST owner I have ever seen in 5 years of fulltiming. Extremely obnoxious, yelled at me while checking the wiring on our tow vehicle, he insisted I was violating the "no working on vehicles rule". Another time that afternoon while we were exiting the campground in our car to go to dinner, he came careening around a corner on a tractor paying no attention to what he was doing and almost hit us. We had seen him coming and stopped. But he started yelling obscenities at how stupid we were, even though we were going the correct way on the one way and he wasn't. I guess we were stupid for staying at his park, but we have wised up and will never again go there. We camped here in a camper.

Belaire Woods could be a pleasant park if it were not for the RUDE and OBNOXIOUS owner. If you have the misfortune of paying for a month, you are required to pay a $100.00 deposit on your site that is NOT refundable on your departure. Instead he insists that it will be mailed to your home address SEVEN business days AFTER your departure. If you step outside your camper, expect him to ride by on his police patrol golf cart, making sure you understand that he will not tolerate even a raised vehicle hood. The morning we left he was THIRTY MINUTES late opening his office. He saw us waiting, however, he ignored us an additional FIFTEEN MINUTES while he went inside and had his morning coffee. We assumed the office was open when he flipped the Closed sign on the door to Open and we heard the door being unlocked. Once inside we were rudely interrogated as to the reason for our departure. I cannot imagine anyone making the mistake of staying at Belaire Woods more than once. ONCE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!! We camped here in a camper.

The camp ground was ok, good location. The owner was very, very rude. He stressed very strong that if you drove more than five (5) miles per hour that we would be kicked out with no refund. Then he got on his golf cart and said to follow him, and ran off and left us, when we did not see where he turned and did not turn he asked if we were to stupied to follow directions. He then put us in between two long time residents. The electrical circit breaker tripped while we were there and he said if we tripped it again we would have to do with out electricity. We have been camping for more than 25 years and this is the rudest person we have every had to deal with. We camped here in a camper.

While the campground was OK, the owner was rude and inconsiderate. Made us wait at the gate for approx. 20 minutes while he rode around the park in his golf cart. When I requested a refund he denied it (a sign clearly stated NO Refunds) then lied to me that he was getting a unit moved out of the space that I was to occupy. The only tire tracks in that site were made by my unit, and the park was almost empty. I will not go back to that park. We camped here in a camper.

Backyard of this Garage looked to be divide by rusted out broken chainlink fence, broken tree limbs littered the site, unkept grass grew through the stone pads, bushes had not been trimmed bach in years, no washrooms/showers or friendly service. The water is 50' from the electricial hook up and if you do not have a long hose - you are out of luck. Reservations are required and there is no refund if once you get there and dislike layout. I lost two days site rent when I paid for two days on my charge and could not stand 30 min. of the noise from the road. Before I got out of this dump another RV was in my spot. Another trip to the office drew the same response "NO REFUND" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very rude owner/operator who does not honor Passport America memberships after 5pm, not stated on website. Office not open after 5pm.

Newly listed with Passport America. Entrance not clearly marked; office is inside an antiques & statuary store. Owner provided map to Savannah & other brochures. Regular sites are farther in trees with separation; PA spaces are on grass field facing highway and backed up to tree line. Fair amount of night traffic, very busy during commute hours. Good spot for touring Savannah but nothing to do at park except maybe shop. Would return on another trip this way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was sort of an odd campground. Very pretty, and well kept but put together odd. All the sites are pull thru, but of all different sizes. They let you drive around until you find an open site that you can get into and just park. The roads are narrow and run both ways, so you have to be careful of not running into someone coming the opposite direction because there is not always a place to go as it is very tight. Some turns are very tight if you are towing or a larger rig. You usually have to go around the loops to get lined up for the dump. It is a nice park, but would not rush back to camp there again.

I have mixed feelings about this park. I have never seen a campground set up like this before. All the sites are pull throughs located parallel to the road. Yes, many of the sites are spacious and some, depending on which side of the road you are camped, are private. Many larger rigs do camp here but the location of trees within the site make it impossible to pull through some sites. Some of them would have to be backed into/out of. Campground loops are two way with very narrow roads with trees close to the road and I am not sure what would happen if 2 rigs met each other. They do have a large parking lot where you can disconnect and drive through which is a big hassle for a 5th wheel. Camp hosts did not interact with campers. Comfort stations (bathhouses) are old but clean. Dump station is located in a weird location. We had to exit our loop and drive all the way around the park to access it because it is in the middle of the park, not on the way out. Not sure if we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As we travel, we very carefully evaluate RV Parks. We rely on other opinions too, and we have not been let down. So when we say Skidaway Island State Park is a 10, we mean it. Pulling into the park the first time, after driving through the upscale and wonderful scenery of this island, we still weren't prepared for the wonder of Skidaway Island State Park. It's truly like being in Savannah without the houses, noise, and sight-seeing trolleys. Each site has it's own seclusion filled with shady trees with hanging moss. We were welcomed by friendly park staff, and we were able to select our own site. We enjoyed our 3 day stay, would return without hesitation. Although, they only have electrical and water at each site, the dump area is easy and close. If you are in the Savannah area, be sure to stay at this great RV Park. If you are traveling by car, drive through, and enjoy. Great for walking too. Staff has good directions for driving into the Historical district of Savannah, about 12 miles away. Be sure to following the scenic route of the two choices given on the driving instruction sheet. Their suggestion to park at the Visitor's Center worked perfectly for us. RVs are welcomed at the Center. We were able to catch the sight-seeing trolley in their parking lot. Great area, great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here while attending a convention in Savannah. We were pleasantly surprised with this campground. The pull through sites were all quite manageable. Although you really have to be on your toes getting a big rig around the trees. The trees were amazing. Our biggest problem was not the campground's fault. Savannah in July is oppressively hot. The campsites were very spacious and not on top of your neighbors. We would definitely go back. Hopefully during a cooler time of year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice GA State Park under large oak and pine trees. This park has the most shade you will find anyplace. New asphalt roads in park make a great place to ride your bikes. Roads are flat and level. Sites are a mix of dirt and some gravel. Sites are close to level, have a table, and fire ring. Cable TV and 50 amps on a total of 22 sites. We could pick up more channels over the air than the cable system. I think cable had two or three channels that we could see. Free Wi-Fi at the office only and you have a table to set at. Sat dishes will not work here. You may find one or two sites that have a hole in trees. Dump station sits in middle of park. You will need to past dump, do a U-turn and come back to get in if you are in front of park. Staff was nice at check in and fast. Playground equipment for the kids. Nightly rate was for seniors. I checked swimming pool, close and green as a swamp. No gators in pool yet. You now have a nice wide turn lane to get into park from Hwy 204 spur. All road work is complete. Gates are locked at 10:00 pm. Verizon cell phone to the top. You will need a GA park pass to get into park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Skidaway Island State Park for two nights and really enjoyed it. All of the sites were pull throughs which helps us since we tow a Jeep. The sites were also fairly large and all were in a wooded setting which provided a lot of shade and helped to keep our site cool in the summer heat of Savannah. The park was well maintained and very close to the Intra-coastal waterway boat ramp if you are traveling with a boat. We had a very pleasant stay and would highly recommend this park.

We agree with previous reviews. The interior campground roads are narrow (one lane size) for two way traffic. Trees are trimmed but some came very close to touching the sides and top of our 12 foot high motorhome. The roads are manageable, just take it slow. Satellite reception was extremely difficult due to all the trees. The cable was fuzzy with about five viewable stations. There were 10 digital (over the air) stations. The sites are large with curved pull through. The sites are mostly dirt so be careful in wet weather. Bathrooms were a bit aged but clean with separate curtained change area outside shower. It is a reasonable 15 minute commute to downtown historic area. The biggest drawbacks are no sewer, only one dumpster for entire park and only one dump station which got very busy on Sunday when everybody was leaving. There is road construction at the entrance area of the park (making new turn lane into the park) so traffic was a little congested. The current turn in/out of the park road is a little tight due to construction barriers. The mosquitoes were bad bring lots of bug repellent. The pool was not open yet. We would return.

This is an outstanding park. The sites are huge, and often nicely shaded from neighbors by natural vegetation. All sites are pull through, have a 15X20 foot raised, compacted, and raked sand surface for tents. Cable consists of 12 channels, all the networks plus a handful of independent stations, all watchable. We received the senior rate of $20 per night for being 62 or older. Wi-Fi is only available at the ranger station where people are invited by the staff to make use of the Wi-Fi there. A reservation means that a site will be held. Once you arrive and check in, you can then take any open site. We think this is an excellent approach to site selection. This is our second visit to this park; we'll be back.

With a very few exceptions, sites range from large to huge. They can be muddy and somewhat out of level though. Some with full shade, some partial. Cell coverage was adequate and a dish will work from some sites. The WiFi was available only next to the office not from the camp sites. Access to Savannah is convenient.

Cable TV is a joke, very few of the 13 channels are viewable, we saw many antennas up. WI-FI was only available in front of the office, they do have a picnic table on the porch to sit and access the internet. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was hard to distinguish the campsite, lots of dead leaves, etc. You just ride around and pick wherever you want to pull in. This campground is "rustic" there is much fallen small trees and limbs to pick from if you want a campfire. The roads through out the campground are very narrow, fortunately we didn't meet anyone going in or out. No signs up so guess the roads are two way. Its a good $20 a night campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We loved this State Park. It's about twenty minutes from Savannah but access is easy via the Truman Parkway. The park itself is large and diverse. There are several great trails with good bird watching inside the park's inlet and also a few miles away at the wildlife sanctuary. Road were all paved, sites were manicured with pea gravel and nice tables and fire pits. The education center was great and all staff were friendly. There were at least three excellent playgrounds for kids and showers were very clean. We'd come back in a heartbeat. Dump station gets a bit crowded so it's better to leave before check out time or just keep an eye for opening. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Loved it! We stayed a night, and this is awesome if you have dogs. The dog park is several acres and has two beaches. We wore out the dogs after too many days on the road. The spaces are huge, probably a quarter acre or more each, and very private. We stayed during the annual Festival of lights, one of the top 10 in the country and very cool. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed the campground. The hiking trails are nice, with plenty of places for bike riding, and many ranger lead activities. The campground layout can be confusing. What looks like should be a one way street is really two way. We saw one unit pull in the wrong way and had to run their hook-ups under the camper. They came in after dark and it is hard to tell since all the sites are pull through. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

$25 full rate, $20 senior. Another outstanding GA state park. We had 50 amp, water and catv with a fairly limited channel lineup. But with all the local networks plus weather. Campground and facilities are larger than Ft. McAllister's, better for bikers. I liked Ft. McAllister slightly better as it is a bit more solitude. Both are great parks and we would return.

We chose Skidaway due to its proximity to Savannah (20 minutes). The park is beautifully kept, and the sites are very, very large and level. All sites are in the woods. Biking and hiking trails are wonderful. Wi-Fi was a surprise --- it works perfectly --- just park in front of the Ranger Station. Savannah is easy to get to and, although not as big and not as visually appealing as Charleston, it is worth at least a couple of days. If you visit in November, be sure to attend the Veterans' Day parade. Groceries are five minutes away, and the ever necessary Wal-Mart is only ten minutes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the most beautiful state parks we have stayed in anywhere in the country. The entire campground is heavily shaded with lots of Live Oak trees draped with Spanish moss. All sites have basic cable TV and off air reception for all 4 networks in High Definition was excellent. All sites are pull through. There are two 50 amp loops but we chose a 30 amp site for a slightly sunnier location and had a very strong 120 volts. This was also one of the very few sites ( #46) where you could peek through the trees for the satellite. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A wonderful setting, with recently paved roads. We have a 45' motorcoach and it's tight in places; albeit doable. Tree heights on roads prior to entering park can be problematic. We are 13'6" and we dinged and doinked quite a few times. Wi fi would be a nice addition. However for a state park to have cable is very nice. Close to downtown Savanah (14 miles).

I stayed here for a week (I got the weekly rate with the over 62 discount) so I could explore Savannah and Tybee Island. The campground is very wooded as you would expect in a state park, but it was well laid out. Water, electric and cable TV (which was a nice perk) is provided. The sites are half circle pull-thrus that took a bit of maneuvering with my 40' motorhome but are certainly accessible. Sites are not assigned so you just drive around until you find an unoccupied one that you like. Park rangers/employees are helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of my favorites this park is close to all of the area's major attractions. The grocery stores (two major one's) within 10 minute drive. If you want to see the beach and Tybee Island lighthouse or downtown historic Savannah you wont get any closer. Now, the staff are not to be underrated either. They go out of the way to assist in making your stay one you will remember. The cable television isn't that great getting only three or four channels, but I go there for the overall experience. Very relaxing, large shade tree's and best of all if you have a reservation and arrive after hours you simply go set up and return to the rangers station early the next day and inform them of your location! Seriously, this beats paying $250.00 nightly in the historic district and is much more entertaining. Ive made this a quarterly stop. The only reason I do not give it a 10 is because there are only a couple of sewage hook-ups and they are reserved for camp host. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful park. If you have never been here you need to stay at least once. Most sites are 30 amp. 50 amp sites are marked with a blue sticker. Very few places can you get sat due to the trees. Cable is usable, but some are very fuzzy. Glad we had that. Air TV with the Batwing is not very good. Toilets and bath houses were very clean. Lots of squirrels. WiFi was very good outside the office but not accessable at campsites. Sprint Air Card was usable but not for large upload or downloads.

This rate is with a senior discount. A beautiful state park with nice, big pull-thru sites. We had a 50 amp site with water, electric and cable TV. A nice mix between the rustic of a state park and some of the convenience of a private campground. At least when we were there, before Memorial Day, you could reserve a site, but not a specific one. You drove through the park and picked one without a tag hanging on the pole. Having never been to this park before, I don't know it that is the practice throughout the summer or not. Some of the turns in the roads in the park are a little narrow and you have to be careful making some of the turns. The gate closes at 10 pm, but you are given a code to get in should you come back late. I agree with previous posts. There was a picnic table on the raised pad for tents and a fire pit. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park in a beautiful area. It's about 15 minutes from downtown Savannah via the Harry Truman Expressway. Lots of trees providing great shade, homes for a variety of birds and lots of squirrels. There was a small herd of deer that would wander through the campground each night. Great bike riding! The nature trails are mostly shaded and nicely posted. The roads are recently repaved and very smooth. No problem with big rig access. There are two sections with 50 amp service, the rest of the campground is 30 amp. There were a washer and dryer ($1 ea) in each comfort station that worked very well. The Interpretive center is a must see. If you've never heard of a Giant Ground Sloth, you have to see it! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a great park, staff was friendly and just let us pick an empty site and that one would be yours....great! We were able to drive around and actually shop for the best site instead of looking at a crude map and trying to pick a good spot. The sites were very wooded and deer were in our site waiting to great us. There was plenty of room between the sites and it was not crowded at all. It was a great place to walk in the morning, deer everywhere. The sites were so,so level but not bad. They had a raised level pad on the sites for tent camping. The sites were nice and had a fire pit/grill on site,but no table that I noticed. They had campground hosts and they sold firewood. This was a great place I wished that we would have stayed there more. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park. Just had ALL the roads repaved. Convenient to Savannah. Big celebration weekend- St. Patrick's Day parade. Sites are large, with plenty of space between them. Lots of places to explore in the area and within the park. Bathrooms cleaned once a day - campground was full everyday so sometimes they would get messy. People sometimes complain about the bathrooms not being clean but it's important to remember it's the fellow camper that has left it a mess - not the park. My moto - leave it like you would want to find it. Great park. Will stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful park, very shady. Even in March, the 50amp sites were scarce. The interior roads were recently repaved, but are narrow. If you have a big rig, you will have to go very slow. Couldn't get a satellite signal no matter how we moved the rig. The cable is poor, ABC is just static with shadows. Hiking trails are nice. There are no-see-ums here, so bring your repellent! The park is convenient to Savannah. We found the signage coming in to be just fine (brown signs with white lettering), so this problem noted by earlier reviewers must have been addressed.

We camped at Skidaway State Park this weekend for the first time and really enjoyed it. The location is good. There is easy access to Savannah and River Street. You do get to pick your own site, so the earlier you get there in the day the better. We arrived about 12:30 and got a nice site (#50). The only complaint we had is that upon leaving this morning, the dump station had a line five or six deep. We decided to dump somewhere on the way home instead of wait out the crowd.

Nice quite park but badly in need of a WI-FI hotspot. The rangers strongly requested that in the comment sheet we indicate the need for the hotspot. Had to drive 8 miles into town as there is only one site that allowed a Hughes.net dish to get to the southern skies. They have cable but it's awful. We ended up using the Winegard crank up antenna. Bathrooms were spotless, staff was superb and they now have new ( but very narrow ) blacktop roads throughout the campgrounds so maneuver slowly as you search for your ( you choose ) campsite. All are under the trees. Nice restaurant ( Carey Hilliards ) for good reasonable food. Tybee Island was small and undergoing lots of road repairs when we drove through it. We would come back.

What a fantastic State Park! One of the best we've ever been to. A 25 minute drive to Savannah's historic district. A major grocery store only a couple miles away. Sites are all pull-throughs (semicircular) that accommodated our 33' trailer without problem. The cable TV is limited to about 10 channels (no complaint). Sites are spaced very well with a lot of privacy. Very quiet in the off season. Inexpensive laundry, too. Great nature trails, though can be wet and you might have to turn back or take your shoes off. Live oaks throughout campground drip with the Spanish moss. There is construction on Waters Ave. at the time of this writing, so drive by Waters and take the Truman parkway south to Hwy 204, where the parkway ends and you take a left to get to the park - this snafu combined with really poor detour signage cost us about 1/2 hour of time...found out about Truman parkway after the fact...not sure why the State Park's website directions take you down Waters Ave. to begin with as Truman parkway is much easier for RVs.

The campground was very nice. We arrived right after a bad storm. The office had been flooded so they were experiencing some difficulties. The bathhouse was clean but only one shower had hot water. Due to the storm it did not have electricity for the first day that we were there (so no lights, etc.) They did have an electrician in to fit it the next morning. RV sites are large with a lot of space between them. We were not assigned a spot and we were just told to go and pick one. Not sure how that works during their busy season.

We are big fans of State Parks and try to stay in them whenever possible. This is one of the nicest we have ever been to. All sites are pullthrus, have 30 amp, water & cable. About 20 sites have 50 amp service. None have sewer but there is a dump station located on the way out of the park ( be sure to come in with empty tanks ) Depending on how you pull-in your patio will be private or on the roadway. The sites are all large and contain a picnic table, fire pit & tent pad. The campground/park is full of trees which allows you to see you neighbor but still have privacy. The park contains a small visitor center with a bird viewing area as well as a pool ( fee ). There are 2 hiking/biking trails as well as the roadways within the campground. We travel in a 41 foot motorhome and the only negative is that it is a little difficult to make the turn into/out of the various campground loops ( there are 4 of them ) once in the loops there is no problem negotiating the roadways. We had no problems with the directions to this park, they are fairly straight forward ( one turn ) and Downtown Savannah with all it has to offer is only 15 miles away. We will definately be returning to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a state park, so it doesn't have "big City" amenities, but it does have nice, large spaces with lots of trees. It's a great base from which to visit Savannah and the surrounding area. We were there in the off-season (January), so insects were not a problem. They have camping from primitive (what they call "Pioneer") to 50 amps. They do need to do some work on the roads; there are some major "bottom scrapers" around. The park is a bit a of a hassle to get to since it's south of Savannah and not near the interstates. The route is well marked most of the way. Unfortunately, some of the major turn signs are missing so it's easy to get lost. (Park management knows about this but maintains they can't get the highway department to cooperate with them in replacing these signs). Our recommendation would be to take the I-516 to its terminus at Bull St. in town, then keep going straight on DeRenne to the Harry Truman Parkway. Go south on the Truman Parkway until it ends at Whitfield. Turn south (left) on Whitfield, which turns into Diamond Causeway, so it's a straight in shot to Skidaway island and the park. The park is not too far south of the bridge over the intra-coastal waterway, so keep watch for the next right after the bridge. It's a nice loop that goes around so you can have a straight in entrance to the park road w/o having to make a left turn. Once again, it's not marked; those darn highway people! We stayed there two weeks in a motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After reading all of the glowing reports about Skidaway Island State Park, we expected a nicer campground than what we experienced. The campsites were roomy enough, but were in great need of some sprucing up: most were quite unlevel, and it was difficult to determine where you were supposed to put the camper since it has been quite some time since any gravel was spread to mark the pad. We arrived on a somewhat rainy day, and many of the campsites were pretty muddy. Our electric box had two 30 amp sockets, but only one of them worked because the breaker on the other was not functional. The fire ring/grill, although new, wasn't too usable since the grill portion was about 12 inches above the charcoal. We had to build a roaring fire just to get enough coals to eventually grill our steaks. It's too bad that this park hasn't received some of the renovation that other Georgia State Parks have enjoyed. This is such a great location, and the park has such great potential, that it could really be a crown jewel in the system. We'll give it another try in a few months.

This is a great park. Very clean and lots of things within driving distance. The park is very secluded and within a few minutes you can be in Savannah is all the traffic. Only problem is the sand gnats. They will literally eat you alive. I don't know believe they spray for them and you cannot spend any time outdoors, which if you are camping is exactly what you want to do. This is our second time visiting in April and we will not be back because the bugs are so bad. The chew my kids up and then wanted more. They get in your hair and no amount of repel bug spray or skin so soft will help. If you do decide to go we were told by a local that the sand gnats are only there when temperatures are pleasant from about 60 to 80 degrees and they are not bad when temps are over 80 which would be in the summer. I don't know just have to check it out and see. If you do go here I will suggest that you take the nature trail out to the salt marsh. They have a observation deck and it is beautiful. It is a great place to ride your bike out to and have a picnic. But there are some swampy areas and we did see a couple of snakes (one water snake and one copperhead) so watch out with pets or children. The park claims that they do have a alligator in the park but we have not seen it yet but others we talked to had so be careful. This is again a nice park with nice sized camping lots and plenty of privacy. Not alot of channels come in on the cable so satelite would be much better. Tent campers are not in a section but mixed all thoughout the campground. It is also about a 30 minute drive out to Tybee to see the ocean but the park did provide a map which made it very easy to navigate Savannah. River Street was awesome and take a ride out the the Savannah Wildlife Refuge, it was nice to see alligators in their own surroundings. Check it out, but watch out for the gnats. YUCK!

Very nice park close to the historic areas of Savannah. Bathhouses are small and a bit older but clean and very serviceable. There is one washer and one dryer at the bathhouses that have laundry. The park has cable TV with about 10 channels. This park was pretty and quiet with large, level pull around sites. We have a 30 ft class A. Some trimming of overhead branches is needed on the roads in the campground. In addition to visiting Savannah we enjoyed the Wormsloe Historic Site, Fort Pulaski and Tybee Island. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A typically wonderful, clean , quiet, wooded State Park. Oh, and dark. If you are going out of the park and not coming back until after dark be sure take your site-map with you and memorize the way to your site. My deepest apologies to the other campers who put up with me driving around and around in the dark trying to find our home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice and large park. Roads are blacktop and sites are more or less dirt. In the past some gravel was in sites. Trees are old and very heavy, a sat. dish will not work here. If you love to camp in the woods this is the place to be. Swimming pool was very nice. Great place to tour Savannah from park. At night you will see deer walking around inside park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff very helful; sites very shady; dump station available; very quite and secure--security on duty all night; sites all pull-thru and most are very large. About 5 miles to downtown Savannah. We will stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground, big pull-through sites. Had a nice nature trail, clean bathhouse. A disappointment was their pool is closed every Mon and Tues so we didn't use it. Convenient to downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. We will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Outstanding...quiet, clean, friendly hosts/rangers... and for some reason, we didn't have any problems with the "sand gnats" (no-see-ums)..got lucky I guess...all in all a place to recommend for that "camping" feel with excellent amenities..couldn't find anything we didn't like..will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the quietest park that we have ever stayed in. It offers lots of privacy and is in a very scenic setting. Internal roads are good and can be navigated by large rigs with no problems. Bathrooms are small, but clean. Some sites in camping areas 2 and 4 have less shade, and can be muddy during periods of rain. Cable TV is limited to basics with broadcast networks, weather channel, and CNN. Don't forget insect repellant as mosquitos and gnats are plentiful. It is about 15 - 20 minutes out of Savannah. We reserved a campsite via the internet, and everything went well. Highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We really enjoyed this park. I thought the pull thrus were strange though. The awning side of the rv was not visible from the road. If you like privacy this is nice, if you want to sit outside and socialize with whoever walks by, this is bad. Swimming pool is large size with lifeguards. $2 charge, not open on Mon-Tues. 1 bath house per loop (4 loops), they were clean and had washers and dryers available. 2 hiking/biking trails both less than 1 mile long. 2 observation towers. It was neat to see the tide coming into the marsh areas. 2 playgrounds near picnic areas. Amphitheater and meadow area near camping area. There were many biting bugs while we were there, we stayed mostly inside rv because of the rain. All sites had a picnic table, fire ring, tent pad area and lots of vegetation. Not much wildlife while we were there, probably because of the weather. Savannah is close to park, about 10 mi to center. We did not have trouble entering or exiting park with traffic during our stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is so beautiful and very quiet. The park rangers and staff were very pleasant and helpful. The sites are widely spaced so you have your privacy with lots of trees in between. The comfort station always had hot water and clean. The washer and dryers were easily accessible and worked fine. The only thing I could say bad is bring your mosquito repellent, those guys ate us up but that is not the parks fault. I would higly recommend staying here if you want a lovely relaxing stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is very nice. lot of heavy trees on all sites. Your Sat. TV system may not work here
(trees) but sites have cable TV. Park was clean and staff was nice at check in. Roads are well marked to get you into park. No noise on island. You will see a lot of deer late in day and other wild life. Playground equipment for the kids. Great place to spend some time. Savannah is about 10 miles away. We will return soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Skidaway is a nice park. I have a few issues with it though. First off, this park was filled with huge buslike motorhomes and if you do not wish to see your neighbors at all then go here. They pull in, hook up then you never see them again. I am certain this is just a jump off point to Savannah. The bathrooms are very clean and get an A-, the only issue is that there is nowhere to hang your towel or put soap while in shower. But bathrooms were cleaned every morning like clockwork. Trails are okay but limited and this is where the problem comes in. The main reason this park gets such a low grade is really not the park. Not everyone is going to Skidaway to see Savannah, I live in Charleston only 80 mins away and can see Savannah anytime. When you leave the road to the park, BOOOM! Traffic, lights galore, bad drivers, BAAD road system and tons of confusing turns to get you back to any major road. This is NO exaggeration. The parks location is terrible, and there are limited things to do in the park. So you are stuck unless you want to go to Savannah. Frankly I would rather take the route from Charleston to Savannah, less traffic and hassles than from the 5 mile away Skidaway. Also, there is quite substantial road noise but who cares when you are in a 45 foot big rig with the TV blasting? We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A beautiful state park. Good paved roads and spacious sites. Very well planned. Good walking trails and a nice pool. Even cable TV! The only thing to make it perfect would be sewer hookups. We camped here in a camper.
