Fun for the family, 4.5

Stayed in campsite 13, which was a pull through which faced some trees and the marsh. The roads are a little tight, which seems par for the course at the state parks. Despite colder than average temperatures (well, it was December) and rain, we had a good time. There is a 0.9 mile walking trail at the campground that was nice and flat with views of the marsh, and a boat ramp. We saw some deer and a racoon. The restrooms were clean. The other attractions of the park are about a mile away near the front of the park. My kids enjoyed the playground, but I wish there was one at the campground. That was my one complaint about the campground itself. But, they appear to be building what might be a playground near the boat ramp. Redbird Creek Trail is a flat hiking and biking trail about 3 miles and quiet muddy in the rain. It was nice and well kept. We enjoyed the fort, which is an additional fee. Because there are other state historic sites in Savannah, we went ahead and bought the family annual pass which will paid for itself when we visited Wormsloe Historic site in Savannah and will be using again in the near future. One thing that I didn't really realize was that despite being physically near Savannah, because of the rivers, you have to drive about 40 minutes+ for attractions in Savannah. Just something to keep in mind. Overall a great trip.
