We really enjoyed this park. We think it's in a great location. You are close to a nice beach, lighthouse park and not far from the bars and restaurants on Tybee Island. It is a little drive into Savannah and to I-95, but that was fine. Some sites are larger than others, clean bathrooms, small pool but very nice. If we are in this area again, we will stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our second stay at this campground. The staff appeared to take more pride in the facilty this year. The sites are very close together and there's not enough bathrooms in campground. There is no security. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
After claiming its close proximity to Historic Savannah, we stayed for a short visit; it is a pretty good drive back into town. Very tight as reported in other reviews. We found our site to be very unlevel and needed extra blocks to bring it up to standard. Propane obtainable only if tank is on right side of couch; ours is not. Outside staff friendly, inside staff ok. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is absolutely one of the best places to go. My 6 year-old, dog and I came down and this was our third trip here. The campground is wonderful and so are the people that utilize it and the staff is excellent. The campground is clean, safe and fun. People with all different types of camping preferences and RV's are welcome as part of a huge family. I hope these folks will be around for a very long time. I am planning to visit again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
CG is overpriced for its condition. Sites were out of level. Many vacant sites, beleived to be due to the ressission and high cost. Many vacant condos in the area. Area should consider price reduction. Will not return without price reduction. We camped here in a Motorhome.
River's Edge is a great location for camping on Tybee Island. It is the only campground on the island. We booked at the last minute and got the last site available. The grounds-workers were very courteous and showed us to our site at check in. We pitched two tents on a very small RV site. The whole campground was very crowded as the sites were very close to one another. The roads in the campground were gravel and made it hard to distinguish the campsites from the roads. Our site was shaded but was not level and had huge tree roots in the way. Not a problem for an RV but a major problem for tents. There was an exposed electrical wire running along the side of our site on top of the ground. The electrical lines going into the electrical boxes were not in conduits as I would have expected. The bath houses were not clean; they smelled of urine. They are "uni-sex restrooms" in that both men and women use the same facilities. There are only 8 total restrooms. Each restroom contains a shower, sink and toilet. The restroom is very small and 8 is not enough for the number of campers in the campground. I would not stay here unless I had an RV where I had my own bath/toilet facility. The pool was of a good size, very nice and was clean. The pool was cold but it was early in the season. We camped here in a Tent.
Nice quiet little park with very friendly and helpful staff. Rate was pretty high for off season. Smaller sites were very uneven. Bathrooms were somewhat clean but very cramped and very poor shape. Floor tiles were coming up and shower control was broken off and replaced with a bolt. Wi-Fi was hard to connect with. Cable TV consisted of 12 Channels, 1 was local access and another TV guide. Would not stay here again unless bathrooms were replaced. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a pretty park but the sites are close together. The restroom and shower facilites are older but clean. Cable and Internet access are great. We were very disappointed to not be able to park for free and go to the ocean beach anywhere on the island. All beach access is either labeled private or you have to pay for hourly parking. You can walk to the river beach from the park about three blocks away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lovely campground. It is now run by Tybee Island. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are many shaded sites and a few in the sun if you prefer. The Savannah River Beach is a short 2 block walk. The Atlantic Ocean Beach is a 3 walk block. Campfires are only allowed in designated areas. There is a small camp store, pool, laundry facilities and Social area. The restrooms and showers are dated, but adequate, clean and warm. The campground sits in a neighborhood. There is some type of city works and recycling center area close by which does lead to some early morning trucks noise. While we were there we had a tornado warning. The siren was definitely loud enough to waken the campground residents. Staff also alerted campers to the warning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites were too close together. We could hear our neighbors at their dinner table when we sat outside. The park was clean and the staff was friendly (they lent us a coax cable), but I guess mostly you are paying for the proximity to the beach which was not a very nice beach. It was clean, but not a "swimming" beach. The area is good for walking and/or riding bikes. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed our stay at this campground. It is only 3 blocks to the beach in one direction and 2 blocks in another. We were in an interior site and liked our spot, however, I don't think I would like staying on the sites that are only a few feet from the street that is in front of the campground. However, at this time of year there was not much traffic on the street and it is in a residential area. There are two dog parks right next to the campground, which our dogs enjoyed (one for under 20 lbs, one for over 20 lbs.). They have a nice pool area. Some of the sites are not well defined but if it was crowded you would probably have a good indiction of your area. The whole campground gives you a beach feeling -- so it is nice to visit historic Savannah (only 12 miles away) but also be able to be close to the beach. Although a bit pricey, we would probably stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is on Tybee Island and you must drive through Savanah to get to it. The campground in nestled between houses, in a residential neighborhood and signage to the campground is not very good. That being said, the folks were friendly, and sites were clean, cable TV was very good. The reasons to stay here are numerous. You can ride your bike to the beach, visit Fort Olglethorpe, tour the light house and museum and the battery all very close by. There is nothing fancy about the campground but it is a very good place to spend 2 or 3 days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campsites are very close together. Our pull through site had trees and other items in the way. We did not feel secure due to location and lack of security. The bathrooms needed to be checked more than once a day, there are only 10 stalls for entire campground. We felt it was overpriced. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The sites are very close together. When we walked out of our door if we walked 5 feet we would have tripped over the neighbors sewer connection. Not at all what we expected from the campground's website. They have 5 washing machines and 5 dryers, when we were there only one of each were working. We actually left two days early. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wifi is available, but you might have to move to another spot like near the office if your site is under the trees. We had a pull through site under the trees and it was nice but very close to the sites and campers next to us. This park is about two blocks away from the beach but it does have it’s own pool. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night but we would return even though we do like more privacy between sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground convenient to the beach (a three-four minute walk away); showers and bathrooms were clean and usable. However, we were at one end of the campground (site 137) just a few yards from an intersection, and traffic noise was a minor problem. Worse, though, this campground advertises free Wifi, but the signal at our site was very weak--I was able to connect only about a quarter of the time. All in all, and given the price ($34 for 30 A with no sewer; $39 with sewer), not wholly satisfactory. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Live oak, Spanish moss, paved and gravel roads. Recently purchased by City of Tybee. Monthly rate is now double to $840. Grounds staff friendly, office staff not. We "full time" and though one can forward mail to the park P.O. Box, staff doesn't collect mail on a regular basis, despite repeated inquiries from guests (i.e.: 8 days for priority mail envelope). Satellite reception for tv varies depending on site. WiFi good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall, this campground is very clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They actually had a host to guide us to a site in a golf cart to get us in our site. The sites are very close together, but that seems typical at other beach campgrounds we've been to. All the facilities we needed worked great. There is local cable to each site, but we were able to use our dish to get our DirecTV signal. Some friends stayed in the "eagles nest" section, basically that is a very tight cul-de-sac on a small hill. I'm decent at backing, but there is no way I'd want to navigate backing into one of those sites up a hill and around all those trees. We had a pull through site close to the entrance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
When we arrived, the staff was very attentive and worked like a well-oiled machine. We had reservations, but did not like the spot they picked out for us as it was difficult to maneuvers (our rig is 52-ft long with car and trailer), so they quickly found another one. It was also tricky to maneuver (but they had 3 very helpful men directing us). The grounds were well-kept and clean. The road and site surface is ground oyster shells (typical for Florida) with patches of grass behind the site. It was quiet. They had their "birthday" celebration while we were there and seemed to have a lot of activities, especially for kids. We didn't attend. Their store was well-stocked. A large caravan of approx. 30 RVs arrived while we were there, and it was handled quite efficiently (we were parked close to the office and could see all the activity). We stayed for 5 nights and would gladly return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great park, great atmosphere. The pool was beautiful and clean. The showers and bathrooms were private and air conditioned. The ocean was a short walk away. My wife, 2 1/2 year old daughter, and I had a great time. We went to Savannah (about 15 minutes away) for day trips. The tent sites were plenty big. Some RV sites (pull through) were very small, so if you go, try to get one of the larger sites. We camped here in a Tent.
We arrived on the 9th of September, 2007 and planned to stay for 7 days. They put us in the crow's nest section which was entirely too small for the number of campers and size campers they had in that section. The mosquitoes were so bad that after 4 days, we had to leave. several other campers were complaining about the campground not utilizing available sites in better areas of the campground for longer term campers. One of the worst experiences I have ever had in a campground. Since it is the only campground on Tybee Island, they can do as they please. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground for being the only option on Tybee Island. It's being run by the city versus private and the people are doing a great job. Where we were for the week, it was a little buggy and needed spraying, but wasn't an issue except for being out at night sitting around the camper. They are working on the campground all the time to upgrade and stay on top of things. I would highly recommend this campground and Tybee Island. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Hello, I have been to two major campgrounds and several smaller ones since I bought my RV last summer. The first spot I would like to recommend is Rivers End Campground on Tybee Island GA. This has everything you could need. The staff are very friendly and warm to families and people from all walks of life go there. I felt so comfortable that leaving things out at night (nothing of any great value) would still be there. The rates are great and if you do not have a towed vehicle with you, that is ok, as they have an old fashion trolley that comes by, on the hour, and swings through the entire island. Five Stars in my opinion. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed this campground. It's not a very large campground and some of the sites are a little small but it was fine for us. The staff was VERY nice and very accommodating, the pool was great, and the bath houses were probably the nicest we have ever used. Each bathhouse has 4 private bathrooms with a toilet, sink and shower. When we first pulled into the campground, we were concerned about safety because its literally located right off a side street in Tybee and easily accessible for "outsiders". But if you have ever been to Tybee, you'll know its a very safe area so we felt at ease once we were comfortable with the surroundings. Its a great little town for bike riding. You can ride your bike over the entire island. The beach is a short bike ride/walk from the campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed in the middle of Spring Break week and the campground was full. Although the campsites are small, it is very close to the beach and is a great bargain compared to what it would cost to rent a room, house or condo in Tybee Island. It was very quiet after 10 P.M. but by 7 A.M. the normal noise of a resort community was present. A very friendly staff. Exceptionally clean restroom and shower facilities. If you want solitude go somewhere else, but if you want to hit the beach on a tight budget, then this is the place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice place to go if you want to be near the beach. Friendly staff. Spaces a little close was our only complaint We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here over Labor Day weekend and it was full. Getting to the site was a tight fit for our 33 ft. fifth wheel, narrow roads with some low branches. Some spaces are close together but there are some that have some more room (we had one on a corner lot). Quiet, family friendly and close to the beach and lighthouse. There is even a shuttle to the beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Slim pickings with CG's in Tybee, so we were stuck. Wish we'd opted to stay at Hilton Head and traveled to/from Savannah. Sites were not level, too many trees that dropped stuff all night long and SUPER tight to your neighbors. Would not go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stayed here for a month. The park is beautiful and the community is really cool. On the downside, the layout isn't that great and the sites were really tight with big oaks overhanging most sites (I don't care for big tree limbs over me during a storm). Getting to Tybee is actually kinda tough as well (I had to drive through downtown Savannah). I understand it's totally booked in the summer - however, I'd definitely recommend it as a place to stay in the off-season. The City of Tybee Island has now bought this park and runs it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are very close together in the area we were in. It was pretty much gravel. Although there were more wooded sites. It was the location that had us stay here. You could travel to the beach or into Savannah. Staff was friendly. If you are looking to "camp", I wouldn't recommend it but if you are looking to "RV" then it is okay if you like your neighbors close. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites are really close and tight! Some sites do not offer cable or sewer. I did not like the way the campground was laid out. We won't be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed two months in Jan/Feb 2005 and loved this park and Tybee/Savannah. Plenty of room for our 36' FW with 3 slides. We had a large site. Excellent management. Very helpful. Stated daily rate is an estimate. We had monthly rates. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A great location near historic Savannah with close location to the ocean and lots of beaches. We had a site that was facing the street making us feel part of the neighborhood. Suggestion, follow the guides to the campgrounds as the trees in Savannah are not RV friendly if you should desire a shortcut. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
