Our site was shaded and quiet during the week. On the weekend the golf cart crew arrived and the tweenagers spent the rest of the weekend going round and round on the camp road.

The shower house was clean, shower stalls were a bit small, the water was warm.

Kind of an odd place. We camped here on a friday night and it sounded like there was a race track nearby. Not sure what the deal was, but cars doing burn outs and racing around on nearby roads kept us awake.

The campground was well kept and clean. the bathrooms were on par with other national park campgrounds with warm showers and were clean. as others have noted, AC power only at the campsite and potable water and dump are located in the campground.

Keep in mind this is very remote and keep an eye on the weather as the north end of the island can be over washed by the ocean leaving you trapped. We were stuck for 5 days.

No power, water or sewer. Dump station and potable water is a crossed the street.

Chose your campsite wisely as probably 1/3 of campground was under water. Most of the west side of a and b inner loop was flooded while we were there.

There is zero shade and very little protection from the wind.

Should have known when the neighbor was busy decorating his campsite with birthday stuff we were in trouble. Friday his entire clan showed up, guessing 6 or 8 trucks, parked us in. They were really loud most of the night. The fire pit was so close to our camper it set off our smoke detector, the site was super tight. Neighbors were still drinking at first light. It very significantly impacted our weekend

The bathroom was nice, good pressure and plenty of hot water.

Our site was asphalt and long enough for our truck and trailer.

The way the campground is situated, basically a clear cut up the side of a hill you are in full sun all day. With all of the giant 5th wheels there was zero breeze and the constant roar of AC units. Far to hot and suffocating to be outside for long.

There is zero cell signal and we could not pick up any over the air tv channels.

A really nice campground, set in the oaks with spanish moss. the campsites are kind of haphazardly placed as others have noted. you could be staring at your neighbors or have a nice woods view.

The site was level and the power and water was fine. the surface is dirt and roots, it was very muddy when it rained. There was plenty of room for the screen room as mosquitos were an issue, big surprise right?

The shower house looked new and was in great shape, plenty of hot water and good pressure, they weren't cleaned daily for some reason and was frequently out of TP.

The guard shack at the front of the park is only manned a few hours out of the day, campground check in isnt very well marked and is the new visitors center. The visitor center staff was rude and had a bad attitude when we checked in, not sure what her problem was but it wasnt my fault I just got here.

The park is a fairly long drive from savannah and more than an hour from tybee.

The wife really enjoyed the owls bickering right at dusk. they carried on for an hour or two and quieted down.

Location is nice, there is zero privacy with the neighbors. The site was clean the neighbor had parked a guest car in our site before we arrived and had to get it moved.

The showers were clean, not all of the shower rooms had hot water for some reason. They were private.

As noted there is a factory a crossed the road and it is loud 24 hours a day.

Glad we opted for the popup tent area as the rv side was packed. There is zero rules enforced, there are multiple vehicles in the site with the camper and often times a boat. There is zero space between the trailers and with the extra vehicles boats, tents bikes there is very little space left. The roads are often blocked.

There is a parking lot for boat and excess vehicles.

Our site was not very level, too all of our leveling blocks to get it level front to back. we did not have power or water hook ups so I cannot review those.

The shower house was clean and water was warm, it had an ultra low flow shower head on it so that was bad. The restrooms were clean and fairly old but in good working order.

The dump station was a disaster on sunday morning. Rude campers, one guy in a class a flushed his tanks for nearly an hour, while there was a line 20 deep waiting. we waited in line and dumped and he was still flushing his tanks.

The kicker here is the ferry crossing so account for that in your budget, my wife and I, truck and trailer were $112 round trip.

Once arriving the campground is fully shaded and in a mildly hilly location. The sites are reasonably spaced and the AC power is good, there are a limited number of full hookups. potable water is near the shower houses.

The shower house is good, private showers and you could adjust the temp of the shower, very low flow. There is only 5 private shower rooms per shower house, so on weekend mornings there tended to be a couple of people waiting.

The campground was very quiet during the week, on the weekend however it was fairly loud.

The campsites were not very level so be prepared with some extra leveling blocks. There is only one dump station at the exit to the campground by the fish cleaning house. it is a fairly tight circular driveway.

Had a fantastic stay our first 5 nights. The beach is a very short walk and was not crowded despite the campground being full.

The campsite was not very level and was a sand surface. You can see your neighbors on both sides, but cannot hear them, Not the most private but it is fine. Over the air tv we received 52 channels with our over the air antenna and booster. Water and power connections were good and no issues, no sewer hook ups. good verizon signal

The Bathrooms were clean and well stocked but had signs of vandalism, shame folks need to carve their initials in everything. The showers had plenty of hot water and good water pressure.......The cleanliness was based on who was in front of you....While rinsing showers are provided at the beach entry and exit it seems that some would use the shower house to clean the sand off, the worst evening the shower stall had a very even coating of sand probably 1/8 inch deep. There are only 4 individual shower stalls and frequently families would dominate them and not encourage their kids to be quick when there was 5 or 6 people waiting. not a state park problem but a camper manners issue.

There was a very high Ranger and police presence, alarmingly high, we also received a anti crime flyer at check in. When I asked if there was an issue with theft or crime I got a song and dance at the check in desk. We didnt have any issues but I have never seen this level of law enforcement patrols.

Fishing was terrible, you are required to have a salt water license which was $10 for 10 days. averaged 1 whiting per day and never caught a legal flounder. The beach was great for swimming and sun bathing.

One huge thing to note, it is between two military bases, which means you will hear gun fire occasionally, not loud, and there is a lot of helicopter activity over the state park. some early in the evening. I enjoyed watching the activity so not a complaint from me.

Our last night had a family with a large class c, They were very loud up to quiet hours, not sure what their deal was but they refused to use the bathroom in the campground or their rv, and they kept peeing on the tree beside our water hookup, 5 adult men.....glad we were out early in the morning. I let the ranger know as we pulled out.

I would not reserve a campsite on the perimeter of the park, on the one end you are looking at a chain link fence with a concrete wall behind it and on the south side you are up against a 4 lane highway with harleys and sport bikes all night.

What a nice surprise, Guess it is far enough from the large metro areas that it is too far for a weekend trip. Very quiet and clean. No hordes of kids on bikes, no loud music, really nice.

The site was on an asphalt pad with reasonable spacing between the campsites. Not gonna say private, but you couldnt hear your neighbors conversation. Sites are probably too small for big fifth wheels as my truck and trailer fit comfortably but I am in a teardrop.

Bath rooms were clean and well stocked. Shower had plenty of warm water, pressure was an issue but probably from a flow restrictor.

No cell coverage, occasionally I would get a batch of text messages but nothing reliable.
