I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this campground. The ladies that own and operate this campground were very nice and helpful in directions. Prior to making our reservations, I did not read the reviews. The night before we were to leave I did read the reviews and I was so upset from the reviews. They could not have been farther from the truth. Campers, do not rely completely on reviews about the campgrounds. Some may not be helpful at all. I will go again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Shady spots with dirt, no concrete pad. Wi-fi available only when office is open. Passport America is not good Friday, Saturday or Sunday. We stayed here so we would be close to WW Williams, who was doing some repair work on our coach. They were great ,but the park was not a deal with no pool and no good wi-fi. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were in the first site to the right as you come in. Only 4 miles to the city of Savannah and the trolley will pick you up and drop you off at the campground. The campground was clean and the owners were very friendly. Some of the sites were close to the road but we couldn't hear any traffic from our site. We will stay here again.

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.

Nightmare at Biltmore Gardens. Located across from a quarry, loud and dusty dump trucks from early morning till late evening, with constant highway noise.No showers or laundry. To add more input, don't use any electric motors that demand more than 105 volts. Campsites are at constant brown-out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sewer connections at far end of motorhome, so without an exceptionally long hose it won't reach. Very rude owner/operator who does not honor Passport America memberships after 5pm, not stated on website. Office not open after 5pm. Worst of all it is on highway frontage and all night trucks are passing. A very loud RV Park to stay overnight in. Do not recommend spending $36 to stay there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

I read the mixed reviews, but came anyway due to location. I found the truth to be somewhere between the two reviews. We got the Camp Club America half price rate. This certainly isn’t a resort, but appears to be on the upswing. The bathrooms were less than average and the showers had the water saver buttons that cut off every minute or so to save water. It also turned cold for a few seconds. I have only found this in about 1 or so percent of the campgrounds we have stayed at. Our TV connection had 4 connections and had to be figured out. Worked OK then. WiFi was virtually nonexistent. So slow to be almost useless. I was able to get on using a linksys for my very slow experience, and then the next day discovered a “campground” network when trying to hook up. It was even slower. I wonder why campground owners tell campers things they know not to be true. Must be to get the business once and forget repeat business. The internet has changed that narrative. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What have these other guys been smoking? This is a fine park and we will stay here again when we return to Savannah some day. Conveniently located - easy drive to downtown/shopping/etc... Tree covered, quiet, good Wi-Fi and cable. A little old, but so what? Roads could use a little work, just drive slowly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We were in the loop by the river, which appears to be the best-loved it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Resort? No way! This is an old, tired fish camp. Needs a good clean out of old trailers and a clean up of the area around the long term campers. Has deteriorating asphalt and gravel roads. Somebody must have got a bargain on big, nasty, yellow speed bumps as they are all over the place. Man guiding us to site was rumpled, dirty looking with scraggly hair. Has narrow pull-through sites, most not level with barely enough room for slides between trees, forget using awnings. Our site had trees next to the slides on both sides and a 5th wheel parked directly across the narrow street in front. Because of this we had to unhook and back out of a pull-through site. This could be a really nice place if the owners would use some of the outrageous fees they charge and put it back into updates by widening, leveling and spreading new gravel on sites, strengthening WiFi signal (kept dropping out), widening roads, remodeling bathrooms and supplying with hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper (one shower didn’t even have a shower head), changing push button faucets to on/off twist handle faucets and getting rid of some of the speed bumps. Laundry building very tired, washers were clean, and contained a few electronic games, but none were turned on so don’t know if they worked. A sign in the office says not to use washers in your unit as it causes problems with the septic system. Don’t understand this since the washers in the laundry room empty into the same septic system?? Pool is small but clean, has steady electric, water pressure and cable TV was good, it's convenient to I-95. Lady in office was pleasant. Tricky when exiting as you have to make a huge U-turn to go back to I-95. Will look for another place to stay next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good park for an overnighter. Lots of pull throughs even though they are not very level. Way too many speed bumps. Laundry room was good, washrooms clean. Like many others we stayed here while we toured Savannah and Tybee Island. Convenience store/gas station right outside the park. This park served our purpose, no complaints.

This park is an okay park. The office person was very serious. There are lots of large trees in the park, but they did not pose a problem. The interior roads are either paved or gravel. All sites are gravel with three options: 30 amp FHU with cable, 50 amp FHU with cable, or 30 amp with water. Our basic site (W & E) was not level. There is wireless in the park. We had cell phone service with Verizon but not with AT&T. The park is located near the Ogeechee River, so there are lots of insects. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As other reviews state, this is an older campground. Needs some work but stayed constantly full when we were here. Office staff is very polite and helpful. They furnish a guide that leads you to your site and assists you getting in if required. Verizon cell phone service was strong as well as T Mobile. Sites are HARD gravel and kinda level. I had to add 2 boards to get my front jacks up high enough to get level. Heavy tree cover. Bathrooms were horrible. Water pressure was good and electrical hook ups were new. Spaces were a little close to each other but this comes with being an older campground. They have a complete quick stop store at the entrance. I would call the river they list, a stream at best. New bulkhead and walk by the water is nice. Overall the stay was ok but will try another place next trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park was ok. It has dirt roads and some hills depending on where your site is. Ours was 66 and fairly level with a slight slant. Sites on the lower level nearest the river are level and some pull throughs also. Having a pet run area was a plus. Being near the stream or river area meant more bugs, biting gnats or whatever, which was annoying but then it's Georgia, one must expect this. With AT&T, our cell service was not a problem here. WiFi worked well and was fairly fast. Cable TV worked well. We stayed one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was not fancy at all. The sites were level. It appeared to have many long term users. Laundry room was clean, one section where washers were located had no light, as fluorescent bulbs had burned out. The Wi-Fi worked at times and then at other times not so good at all. There was no cell service at all. We had to drive about 3 miles down the road in order to place calls. It was an OK place to stay while visiting Savannah. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, no frills park. Dirt/sand roads. My spot 61 was somewhat level but slanted just a little. I took a tour of Savannah with Old Town Trolley Tours. The friendly office staff called and reserved the tour for me. I was picked up at the campground office. It was $25 and very much worth it. I needed some minor RV repairs, and the office gave me the number of a very capable man who came to fix the problem. Wi-Fi and cable TV worked very well, but my phone didn't work at my spot. I had to walk a short ways to get cell service. I would have rated this higher except for the showers. They were clean, but it was one that you push a knob, and the water stays on for about 10 seconds. No matter how many times I pushed it, the water never got warm. Also, in the bathrooms, which are unisex, there are no paper towels or blow dryers or soap dispensers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Note that you will NOT find Bellaire woods. This campground was purchased a few years ago and is now Savannah Oaks RV Resort. The sign at the freeway and entrance to the park reflects this. I have corrected the website address here to reflect the new web address. They have propane here,fenced dog park,VERY FAST and strong signal Wi-Fi. Adequate for big rig and towing.

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.

First the good things. It is convenient to an overnight off I-95 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 I-95. The site at this campground may has well been in the median on I-95. 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.

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. The pedestal power and cable TV were good, as well as the 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. The 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! There is no signal! The Wi-Fi worked one day out of three while we were here. 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!

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.

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.

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. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

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.

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 rude. If you need someone who watches over you, someone who thinks everyone wants to steal something from him. Tells you speed limit is 5 miles and he goes 20 because he says, "I own the park." Raise your hood, he runs over to you asking are you changing the oil. He threatens you even before you get in, to throw you out. If you are vacationing, this is not peace and quiet. The website 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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where do I begin? This park is Tops in our books. The owners are wonderful. The grounds are so peaceful and beautiful. Our family felt like we were in a different world. The owners were wonderful in helping us find a great mechanic to diagnose our truck problems and made our stay terrific. We would definitely go back and stay, actually hoping to go this fall.

Wow! What a beautiful plantation! My husband and I didn't know what to expect when we pulled in but once we toured the park we were really pleased. The kids were in heaven. The first thing that we noticed was all the beautiful trees and the lakes. After we got settled, we immediately went to the pool, and it was very nice with a beautiful view. We spent the majority of our first day there at the pool. The owners of the property were there as well, and they were very kind and made us feel very welcomed. They even let us tour the Mackey House, a southern plantation home where they do weddings. This was southern hospitality at its best. If you are visiting Savannah this is the place to go. We are definitely coming back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We LOVED this place. The setting is a family-owned farm that has been in the family for generations, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The people could not be nicer, and there is just a friendly, easy feeling about the place. Nice facilities, beautiful ponds, lush green fields, mature trees and very convenient to Savannah. Owners (who are all from the same family; most live on property) are continually making improvements and have plans to add more sites and upgrades. We will definitely be back to Red Gate Farm. And if you stay there, you must be sure to throw a ball or a stick for Disco! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We just spent 4 days at Red Gate Plantation while touring Savannah. Although we chose Red Gate because of its close proximity to town, we soon discovered its country charm. The farm is very well kept: clean, beautifully landscaped, newly painted, with spacious gravel sites. Unfortunately, if you arrive after May 1, you will miss the joy of the Big Red Bus. Two sites from us were the owners of the red bus, their dog, two cats and 4 hens. That's right, 4 hens. We spent time every morning drinking our coffee/tea and watching the hens nibbling away at their breakfast. You will also miss the taste of fresh brown eggs that were shared with us for breakfast. The Big Red Bus will be gone, but you will truly enjoy your stay at this family owned resort. They were available whenever I called, and were also a wealth of information about what to do and where to eat. When we visit or pass through Savannah again, Red Gate Plantation will be our place to stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a strange campground: a farm that they are in the process of making into a campground. Our site was not at a lake, it was in a large field, no shade, with a 50 amp electric box that did not seem right, small box very low to the ground. The clubhouse was locked, the pool was being painted, an exercise room was being painted, and the laundry was only one washer and dryer in a building that closed at 6 PM. The one shower was also in there. There was a shed-type building right behind a motorhome, which housed a toilet and sink. And yes, there is a permanent resident here with chickens, but the chickens were kind of neat. This place is close to Savannah, and may be worth the money when finished, but they should not be charging this much at this time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was not your ordinary park but that's what we loved about it. If you love plenty of room, large oak trees, ponds and wildlife, you will enjoy this park. I read some reviews that I couldn't disagree more with. The red bus was here but I was informed they were given 30 days notice to leave. However, I didn't think it was bad at all. The management was very helpful and provided us with information on things to do in the area. Many of the sites didn't have much shade, but ours did. This park has a lot of character and the potential is incredible. We have already recommended the park to some of our friends and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here a couple of days while visiting Savannah, but it's not really a park I would spend any significant time at. The signage is terrible here and we kind of wandered around trying to find either an office, or someone to get us checked in and lead us to our site. There IS an office near the end of the park roadway (gravel), but don't try entering their long semi-circle driveway to get to the building. Between the low-handing tree branches and the narrow fenced entryway, most RVs will not make it. Facilities are extremely rustic here. The park appeared to be a former camp, with very old (ancient) facilities for recreation, entertainment, etc. The owners, I believe, are in the process of converting the facility into a nice RV resort or campground, but some things are a little strange. For example, the sewer hookup about 15 feet away from the other resources. The sites are all on crushed limestone pads. When it rained, we wound up with a lot of chalky splash-marks on our rig when we left. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here because it was the closest RV park to historic downtown Savannah, and it was easy to go back and forth. The park seems to be in transition, as they were setting up new gravel pads while we were there (we didn't see anything that approximated 25 camp sites with hook-ups). Red Gate Plantation itself is quite spacious, and we had a nice large site under a beautiful oak tree with a view of the lake. We're not sure what amenities would be available in the summer, although that's not very important to us. The owners were very laid back (a plus), but never stopped by after we got set up to offer us a map of Savannah or any other information. This park also needs to do some work on the technical details: the 50 amp service had the wrong fitting for the plug, and there was no circuit breaker. The sewer also had no cover plug, and sloped upward around the opening. Even so, we made it all work, and really enjoyed our stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

After checking the reviews for parks in the area, we decided to stay here. The only plus was that the owner was very friendly. The utilities worked fine, but we have come to expect that as basic to park operations. None of the facilities listed on the website were available, even showers. There was no laundry, no showers, no reliable Wi-Fi, no exercise room. Even the bathrooms were incomplete with only one working toilet that had no sink for handwashing and no heat. We were parked next to someone living in a converted school bus that raised chickens that roamed freely and annoyed our dogs. The same full-time residents released the dog unsupervised to do his business and obviously did not pick up behind him. The property has terrific potential, but customers should not be expected to pay full-price rates for minimal functionality. We would stay here again if the facilities are completed as advertised or if the rates were adjusted. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed at Red Gate for 10 days and really enjoyed it. Park is close to everything in the city. The park has 2 different settings you can camp in. We camped on the lake under the oak trees. I would definitely stay in that spot again. The only complaint is that the bathrooms were being renovated however the manager did tell me in advance. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Skidaway Island State Park is a great place to stay if you like some Georgia shade under the oaks. Site’s for motor homes appear to be all pull through and they are organized in nice manner. It might be hard to recognize how to park after dark without reviewing the way other motor homes are parked. I didn’t bother to make a reservation in August and there were plenty of spaces available. 50 amp power is available on selected sites only so if that is important study the map. Park is about 12 miles from downtown to the south east and allows you to feel you are really out close to the marshes even though there are very nice residential areas nearby. I will stay there again if visiting the Savannah area however if just passing through for the evening would probably bypass this state park for something closer to I-95. Park staff very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wonderfully large, pull-through lots. Despite a significant amount of rain while we were at this campground, there was a noticeable lack of puddles and bugs. The towering oaks with the hanging Spanish moss are impressive. Bathrooms were OK, not great - they could use some updating. The park was less than half full when we arrived early on a Friday afternoon, and there were still many empty spots over the weekend, so July is apparently not their busy season. It was about half an hour drive from the campground to fabulous Tybee Beach, where our family spent quite a bit of time. I'd camp here again, but my husband wants something closer to the ocean if we are going to spend that much time on the beach. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We used this park as an overnight stop. It has a lot of trails, and things to do, but we were short on time. We did bike the 3 mile loop trail, that has the lookout tower on it, and it was quite nice. No sewer hookups, but we dumped at the dump station on our way out. It was raining when we showed up, so we got a lot of dirt and leaves in our rig, but that was not unnexpected. The sites are all very shady, and the staff was very helpful. The one thing we noticed, was that the roads are pretty narrow. My birdwatching wife spotted 3 birds she hadn't seen before. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 5 nights while we visited sites around and in Savannah. Skidaway campground is heavily wooded. Has a number of trails. Most of the campsites are pull throughs as a loop off of the campground roads. Care must be taken for some sites, since there are large trees along the campground road making tight conditions. The campground is very quiet, with little road noise heard. Frogs and toads were the noisiest creatures we heard at night. The entrance gate is closed at night, but you are given a gate entry code for late return to the campground. The shower rooms are old, but cleaned daily. WiFi internet is available 24 hours a day near the campground check-in office. There are no sites with sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. A very natural and scenic campground with much space between the sites. A campground host is on site. There are some washers and dryers at the shower/rest room buildings. There is a nature center for the kids, along with the various nature trails. We found that over the air TV reception was better than the provided cable TV hookup. Our daily rate included a discount for being senior citizens. We could drive to downtown Savannah in about 20 minutes from the campground. There is a gas station and grocery store within a mile of the state park entrance. Skidaway Island Campground is now on our top campgrounds to visit list. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park with huge sites, reliable 50 amp electric. The restrooms were fairly clean, but old and not always well stocked. Laundry was inexpensive. The only problem was narrow roads.

We like the state parks - they are cheaper and much prettier overall than their commercial counterparts. And this one was pretty too, and we enjoyed the hiking/biking trails. However, I preferred our stay at Crooked River. But if you want to be in the Savannah area, this is a good spot. As with Crooked River (and maybe all the GA state parks), there are only a few 50amp sites, and not all spots will fit 40ft rigs, so plan to get there early if you want those things! Also, beware of Wormsloe Plantation!! The history of Noble Jones is very interesting, and the movie they show is quite good, but if you take a camera that looks like it cost you more than $500, they will ding you $25 for a photography permit, even if you're NOT a pro looking to sell your photos (and that's on top of the $5/person entry fee)!!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked and felt ripped-off, and I wasn't the only visitor that felt that way, trust me! I ended up just taking in my cheaper point and shoot, but if my hubby hadn't been with me, I probably would've just left! Also, if you're into alligators like I am, then visit the Savannah NWR! A 4-mile drive along rice fields with gators in or around the irrigation canals! Very pretty and fun spotting the gators!! The CG price reflects a senior discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great park! But if you take the wrong road to get there it's almost suicidal with low trees overhanging the road!! Check your directions carefully. Once in the park, there are lots of large, fairly heavily treed sites. Most, if not all, sites are pull throughs. We camped in a 42 footer with a tow and had to break the two to navigate through the campground to find a suitable site. Very nice people at check in and a very quiet, clean park. Would recommend and will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Skidaway Island is a great state park within easy driving distance of Savannah and Tybee Island. The park is heavily wooded with large clean sites with each containing a sanded tent platform, picnic table, and fire ring. Selecting sites at this park is first come first serve. Your reservation only guarantees you'll get a site. We arrived on a Saturday around 2pm during the month of April and only had to drive around a few times till we found a site that would accommodate our rig which is 32 feet. All of the sites would accommodate smaller rigs in the 20 foot range however larger rigs in the 40 foot range would be well advised to arrive early. There is no sewer at the sites but a dump station is available. A portable holding tank is useful if you're going to be at the park more than a few days. Electricity was constant and without surges. The swimming pool was closed during our visit as others have mentioned. The park contains several excellent nature trails and a bike path is nearby. The rate indicated was the senior rate as we had one in our party for this trip. The only negative we found with this park is the lack of sewer connections at the site but for the price our expectations were exceeded. We will definitely be going back to this park the next time we visit the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful park! Many of the sites are pull-through and each site has a tent pad, picnic table and fire ring. The trees are beautiful with a lot of hanging Spanish Moss which creates a lot of shade. The roads going into and within the campground can be navigated by most RVs. We saw a 42' tag axle RV in the park, so it was obviously not a problem for it to navigate. There are many birds, and we even heard an owl the night we were here. This is a great park to ride bikes in, with plenty of places to ride. It is a good idea to make a reservation. We had a reservation, but the couple in line at the registration desk in front of me did not have one and were turned away. You are guaranteed a spot with a reservation, but not a specific spot. You get a list of available sites and you just drive and pick the one you want. Just a note, though, we camped after the area had a lot of rain, so there were many sites with mud where you would have to pull the camper through. Otherwise, you should be fine. We actually had a site, #47, that was huge. What might be a drawback to some, was that the dump station was actually along one side of the site. It was never a problem for us, since the site was so huge. Also, there were a lot of biting gnats during the day this time of the year, but with bug spray, it wasn't a problem. We can't wait to come back here again. It was very peaceful and very beautiful! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is interesting. The sites are big, but, you have to go through early and find your site that you think you can get your RV and TV in. A lot of sites are tough for big RV's to get into. Very quiet campground, and very nice. March and April are the busiest times. There are a lot of trees, and they kind of put the campground in around the trees, which is cool. Very nice campground, and I would come back. You will drive around for awhile until you find a nice spot. Get there early!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the third year we stayed at this park and we continue to find it one of the nicest state parks we've ever stayed in. All sites are water/electric/cable pull throughs, but none have sewer connections. The sites are spacious and well shaded although we had no trouble setting up satellite TV on a tripod. Savannah is about 13 miles away via a limited access highway. Savannah is simply an exquisite city, a pleasure to visit. In the last half of February, the park was sparsely occupied, but by mid March it becomes quite busy, especially for the wildly popular St. Patrick's Day celebration in Savannah. The price reflects an age 62+ discount of 20%, regardless of residency. We will definitely stay here again when in the area. 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.

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.

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.

Different people like different camping experiences: for us this park was perfect. The roads others are complaining about, are in fact one way. At check-in the ranger gave us explicit direction on the roads. So if you are met by an oncoming rig, one of you is going the wrong way. I've never seen sites this large in all out travels. Cable TV wasn't great and we could have used a sewer connection, but that's to be expected in a state campground. Bathrooms were clean; there was a good laundry and a nice camp sink. We had site 51, was about 100 by 200 with total privacy. The park is close to downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were pleasantly surprised by this park. The sites were of varying sizes and easy to get into. You are not on top of each other between sites. The park staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. We only stayed two nights as we were on our way to Florida. We are planning on coming down to this area again and will definitely consider staying at this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a wonderful state park! Hiking, bird watching, good playground for kids and neat wildlife museum. On site laundry $1 for wash and dry. Many sites can accommodate larger RV's, others are a bit small. Campground host and office staff very professional. We will stop by here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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. There are plenty of food and shopping choices nearby. The staff was very accommodating. They had both water and electrical problems while I was there but did there best under difficult circumstances until they were corrected. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

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. Definitely use Harry Truman Parkway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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 quiet 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 Hughesnet dish to get to the southern skies. They have cable TV, 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 pull throughs, have 30 amp, water and cable TV. 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 and 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 definitely 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 here 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 here two weeks. 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.

The park has a variety of easy hiking trails, a large pool, a small but interesting museum, and an attractive, sizeable picnic area. The one and only drawback is the no-see-ums. You will definitely need DEET and need to spray. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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! We camped here in a Motorhome.

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 satellite 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.

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 park: quiet, clean, has 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 minutes away and can see Savannah anytime. When you leave the road to the park: Boom! Traffic, lights galore, bad drivers, bad 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.
