Skidaway Island SP (Savannah, GA)

Loved it...
This is a great Georgia State Park! The campground was very quite considering it was a holiday weekend. Sites are very spread out. All pull through sites with a natural sand/dirt driveway. The sites driveways are close to the road with the pull throughs being parallel to the loop. The power and water connections are set so that the rear of the camper faces the street, adding to the secluded feeling of the campsites. The space between the sites to the side and rear are what makes you feel that you are spaced out much more than some other SP's. A few sites are not quite shaded very well, but the large majority are covered well by hardwoods. Bathrooms were cleaned daily. A couple of small playgrounds in the CG. A large swimming pool in the park. Being it was just the 2 of us we decided not to go to the museum the park offers, or the Skidaway Marine research center/ aqaurium. We were very content with spending quite a bit of time in the actual campsite/CG, as many others left much earlier for the day. About a 20 minute drive to Downtown Savannah and an additional 20-30 minutes to Tybee Island. Tybee was nice as usual. Less upscale and commercial than other beach towns. It is an older beach town, but has a smalltown feel. River Street in Savannah was festive as usual with an Art/Crafts show going on. Both places are ideal for other "people watchers".

side notes:
...I belive we saw a total of 5 deer just by our campsite over the weekend. So it appears this would be a common occurance.
...There were probably 15-20 pop-ups there for the weekend.

2 areas of concern:
...of course being a coastal, South Georgia park, the bugs will bite, so bring your repellant
...beware of the whippoorwill, it will frequently begin its song at 3am, right above your camper.

Will be happy to answer any questions or clarify any issues....
