Georgia is a beautiful state and a great place to go camping, but how can you choose a campground with so many options? Today, we’re going to cover 10 of our favorites and what makes them excellent choices.
We chose all of our selections after careful research into the activities each campground offers, the amenities available and any other pros and cons we think you need to know about to make an informed decision.
1. Skidaway Island State Park RV Camping
Our first choice for RV camping is Skidaway Island State Park. It’s a 30-minute drive from beautiful and historic Savannah. You’ll have access to some of Georgia’s best scenery, with plenty of live oaks, Spanish moss and easy access to Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge.
Whether you want to explore downtown Savannah and its distinctive architecture or go birdwatching, Skidaway Island has something for everyone. There’s also hiking, bike rentals, a nearby boat launch, volleyball and a playground.
You can view availability and make reservations online, which we love.
There’s plenty of room for picnicking, water and electricity, WiFi, showers and restrooms, and some campsites have sewer hookups. You should also have cell service, although it may be spotty in places.
