Skidaway Island State Park Campground
About
State Park
As part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway, Skidaway Island State Park is nearly 600 acres of maritime forest, tidal creeks, and salt marshes nestled between the Skidaway River and the housing developments of The Landing. The park’s main draw is its lush coastal woods of live oaks, red cedars, and pines dripping with Spanish moss, which, in turn, is home for a variety of wildlife, including deer, raccoons and a variety of shorebirds. Many of the park’s flora and fauna can be seen on a network of 6 miles of walking trails and boardwalks. Some trails are ADA accessible, and some are also open to cyclists. For your best chance at spying a resident alligator, go for a stroll on the 2-mile Big Ferry Trail.
Visitors to Skidaway Island State Park, just a 10-mile drive southeast of Savannah, have access to nearly 90 tent and RV campsites, in addition to 3 camper cabins and 3 group campsites. All sites offer electrical hookups, and some are ADA accessible. Campground amenities include restrooms with showers, bike rentals, picnic areas, two playgrounds, laundry facilities, and an interpretive center. There is also an amphitheater that hosts seasonal interpretive programs. A hiking trail from the campground leads to an observation tower that overlooks the Skidaway Narrows, where you can scan for egrets and osprey. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins swimming up the waterway. Campsite rates range from $40–$49/night; cabins range from $42–$140/night.

Best of nature close to Savannah
This campground is beautiful, with clean facilities and hiking trails within walking distance to campground. We spent one night and loved to experience the park on top of exploring Savannah which is a 20 minute drive. We would definitely return!

Spanish Moss Everywhere
Hit the trails!
One of our favorite State Parks
We have stayed here multiple times when visiting Savannah. Still one of our favorite state parks. Big campsites, clean, quite. The new visitor center is really nice.
Georgia state parks
This place is awesome Clean large bathrooms with hot and cold shower Has laundry facilities Most sites are dirt but few paved No sewer at sites but dump station at park easy to access Water and electric at sites Several hiking trails Beautiful park office with gift shop with restrooms here also Deck chairs in back if you want to sit and firepit if you want to use Sites have fire pits also
Tall trees covered with moss are so amazing!
Our stay was so wonderful! Relaxing under tall trees covered with moss. So humid! No pool to cool off! I was scared by a raccoon. It tried to steal our dinner in a cup. Saw a deer walking around. So close to Savannah downtown for us to tour around there.

Near to Savannah
Quiet campground with great hosts and a relaxed feel. The best part is proximity to great places like Oatland Wildlife center.

Favorite in the Golden Isles
This is a spacious campground with plenty of room between sites and clean facilities. If you go in the warmer months, be sure to bring bug spray!

One of the Best
We stayed at #66 for 4 days. The sites are all huge and spaced well apart. All have water and electricity. The park maintenance is excellent. The showers have plenty of hot water and are very clean. The best part is how beautiful it is. It’s shaded with Spanish moss draped large trees. The location can’t be beat. The staff in the office/store are exceptionally helpful. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Beautiful State Park that is removed from the city
This is an absolutely beautiful state park in the Savannah area. It is well shaded. It is also gated which is a nice touch and added security. The great shaded spaces with gorgeous trees leads to little to no cell service. No chance of getting satellite either.
It is close to Savannah (about 20 minutes). Where you can have some of the best food in the south and a great time.
The park can get very busy however.
Fantastic camping closer to Savannah
This state Park keeps a very nice huge campground. It is well maintained. Our site was next to a new bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and restrooms. The sites are very spacious with a tent pads, picnics tables and a fire ring. They have full service sites and water/electric sites as well as tent sites. Dump station available as well. A very quiet and dark campground 25 minutes to Savannah, 30 minutes to Tybee Island.
Great campground!
Enjoyed this campground! Decent amount of shade at each site, the Spanish moss covered trees are beautiful!! Also saw lots of wildlife including deer around the park. Showers and bathrooms were in great shape and always kept very clean!
Trails: we hiked the sandpiper trail and avion loop trail during the day (be aware these trails have minimal shade and can be rough in the hot sun) but they were short so it wasn’t too bad. In the evening we took our mountain bikes around the Big Ferry Trail Loop- the observation tower around sunset is a must see! (See pics)

Very nice campground!
Great campground. Nice clean shower houses and bathrooms. Very spacious sites.
The BEST
If you value a beautiful forested setting with tons of shade, huge camp sites, and with most hookups (electrical and water) this place is you. Proximity to Savannah historic center is the cherry on top. Oh bike rentals, trails and easy dump station.
GA trip
The staff was very friendly. Our site was beautiful. The campground is what a campground should be. Lots of trees & some wildlife. It is very clean & quiet.
Great Campground, Great location
The campground is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the sites are level and spacious. I prefer the sites on the outer ring as they offer the most privacy. The sites have plenty of room between them and many have natural boundaries. We couldn't see our neighbors. Most of the sites are pull through for RVs and have a tent pad, table and fire ring. It's also only ten minutes from historic Savannah. There is also a convenient shopping center just outside the campground. We will be going back.

Loved it
Large sites, lots of trees, nice bathrooms and a pretty place for a bike ride. It was full but really quiet when we visited.
Simply wonderful !
Skidaway Island SP is quite possibly the nicest state park camping facility we’ve yet to visit! The sites are beyond spacious and afford plenty of privacy - and the hookups were conveniently situated at both sites we utilized during our visit. Huge, level tent pads for tent camping are also provided, as are picnic tables and fire rings. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and in excellent repair. The brand-new visitors center is beautiful and staff were courteous & professional to a person! Bird life is abundant and we had deer show up every day to check on us. Hiking trails are outstanding and the picnic/playground areas are fantastic. Skidaway Island SP is a gem with the added bonus of being just a 15 minute drive to downtown Savannah - we will undoubtedly be returning!
What a Blessing
Loved this place. Got lucky and someone canceled and they were able to get me in for 3 days. Camp site #56, which had a fantastic view with a little water pool too. Had a little winged visitor each morning eating in to water while I was having breakfast. Quiet and people out walking around and biking the loop, Just felt right to be there. Staff at the park were very polite and the camp host were more than happy to ask if I needed anything.
Will definitely will book this place for a longer visit next year.
1st Road-trip!
It was our first camping trip/road trip, we had a roof top tent on top of our suv and skidaway island state park was our first stop! We checked in at the office, which had a beautiful gift shop and many supplies incase you had forgotten any. We were greeted by wonderful staff members and a park ranger. Parking is $5, they were currently out of firewood but thankfully Publix is not far. We made reservations for one night for a tent site which was not a far walk to the restrooms and shower facilities. Our site was very spacious and private and it was a pull through which was wonderful for our rooftop tent. The park is very clean and a absolutely beautiful place to stay, we decided to stay for night #2. The facilities, the sites, the roads were perfect! Also, sites came with running water, electric, fire pit and picnic table.Watch for the big raccoons and don’t leave your trash out at night because those bandits will come!

One of our favorites
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. We had a pull through site with full hookups. The sites are well spaced with trees in between most sites. There are 4-5 miles of trails in the park that are close to the campground. We had 1-2 bars of Verizon and 2-3 bars of AT&T. We got quite a few OTA channels that came in really good. The dump station was across from our site, but it wasn't too bad. I'd definitely stay here again. Some roads were a little narrow and tight to navigate with trees. The only issue we had is they turned off the water without notice one of the days we were there and it was off for over an hour. We camped at Skidaway Island State Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent State Park and campground
We camped here for 4 nights with our dogs in a tent. We stayed in campsite 52 which was very roomy and private. It was surrounded by palms, pines, and oaks. Electricity and a water spigot was available. You can also stay in one of the three cabins or do pioneer camping in little shelters along the trail.
The bathhouse was pristine. The volunteers are doing such a fantastic job to keep it clean. The showers were nice and hot and had a good water pressure.
The visitor center is a 5 to 10 min walk from the campground. It is brand new. It has a well stocked gift shop and a small but very nice native species exhibition. The highlight is a 20 foot tall skeleton of a giant sloth. Perfect for pictures with friends or family.
The park also offers 6 miles of hiking trails. You meander through marsh land and in the forest. I'm sure when it's warmer you can see more wildlife like reptiles and birds. If you forgot something, there is a Publix about 5 min away. It is also a 20 min ride to downtown Savannah. If you want an excellent meal and service… visit the Olde Pink House.
We would definitely camp here again but probably not in the hot summer month.

Amazing park
The sites here are some of the best we’ve had. Spacious, private and clean. Great cell service. Super clean bathrooms. Close to a Publix. Lots of hiking (walking really), biking etc. An easy drive to Savannah. We were here for Halloween and it was very cute (be aware that the park hosts trick or treat for local kids, so bring your candy if you are in the sites close to the office). This park has a ton of sites but you’d never feel you are in a huge park. We already booked another stay.
Great state park!
We could only get one night but it was still a treat to stay. The sites are separated giving your privacy from your neighbor. Power was stable and water had sufficient pressure. The tree covered site may pose a tad of a challenge for those using only solar but it’s worth it. The comfort station was very clean.
Holiday Pitstop
Stayed here for a couple of days along the way to family; great spot! Easily picked up trails from the campsite, shower/bathrooms were great, staff was very friendly, and only 25 mins to downtown Savannah!
We were newer to RVing, so it took a little bit to level the RV on the same and tree roots. But honestly, it was well worth the privacy and nature.
Beautiful campground facilities
We originally booked this park for 1 night as a stop back from Northern GA to Tampa. We wished we were able to stay longer! The visitor center is brand new. They offer tons of activities throughout the month. The campsite was large & under huge trees. We liked how secluded it felt even with Other sites around us. The bathrooms were clean too. We ended up going to Savannah for the day to explore but at end of night we had wished we just stayed at the site. I definitely will go back.
Lovely campground
We absolutely LOVED Skidaway Island camp ground! Huge campsites, gorgeous bike and walking trails, big playground, friendly staff, state of the art welcome center.
Great State Park Camping in Coastal GA!
A great state park campground between Savannah and Tybee. We car camped with a tent, site was nice and level on sand. Big trees with Spanish moss all around. The bathrooms were big and clean. The park itself is well kept, with great kayaking. Very convenient to Savannah and Tybee both. We also went to Ft. Pulaski during our visit, and it was great. Highly recommend this campground when in Savannah!
