Skidaway State Park, GA
Skidaway Island State Park is located less than 30 minutes southeast of Savannah in the lowlands of Georgia. Driving into the park, we were immediately struck by the picturesque tree canopy covering the park that is characteristic of Savannah. The sites in the campground are large and well-spaced. There was a variety of 30amp, 50amp and full hookup sites. The outer loop sites were very private, while the inner loops were more open. Most sites provide relatively easy entry, but we would suggest checking the size limits and taking note that the back road is tight for larger RVs. There is a store, bike rentals, clean bathrooms, and hiking trails. We went on a hike on the Big Ferry Trail Loop, enjoying the history along the way and observation tower overlooking the Skidaway Narrows. A little of the Savannah debauchery made its way to our hike, as we learned the area was a popular area for moonshiners to hide their stills from the police from prohibition all the way through the 1960s. You will want to consider bringing sunscreen and a variety of bug spray to have a chance at winning the battle against the bugs and sun. They are fierce, but we survived. We were particularly impressed with the park rangers and camp hosts. They were so helpful, accommodating, and even had dog treats handy for our furry friends. We could have stayed inside the park for days without leaving, but there is so much to do in the surrounding area so I would strongly suggest getting out too.
