This Georgia State Park Lands on 2025 Best Places to Camp List

We already knew it was special. Now it’s official: Skidaway Island State Park Campground has earned a spot on a list of the best places to camp in the Southeast—No. 7, to be exact.

The ranking comes from a nationwide roundup of campgrounds, based on camper reviews from across the region. And while we’re not big on buzzwords or apps-that-do-it-all marketing speak, we are into thoughtful rankings that reflect real camper experiences. This one does.

So, what makes Skidaway a standout?

Let’s start with the setting.

Just outside Savannah and nestled against salt marshes and maritime forest, the park is a peaceful, shaded spot for tents, RVs, and even cabin stays. It’s got a quiet charm that doesn’t need to shout to be heard—Spanish moss, wide open skies, and boardwalks that wind through the trees like they’ve been there forever (because they sort of have).

Campers love the extra-large sites and the way everything feels spacious, not stacked. There are two big playgrounds, plenty of room to spread out, and six miles of hiking trails that deliver views of the Skidaway Narrows and local wildlife.

There’s no lake or beachfront here—but Tybee Island and all of historic Savannah are a short drive away. So if you’re the kind of camper who likes a mix of peace and proximity, this one checks all the boxes.

And if you’re wondering about the details:

• Prices range from $45 to $165, depending on your setup
• Fires and pets are allowed
• There are 87 sites, including three camper cabins and group options
• The bathhouses? Clean and reliable. Always a win.

Here’s how one reviewer summed it up:

“Very peaceful, quiet, and serene. Beautiful with all the Spanish moss.”

That tracks.

So if you’re planning a weekend away—or finally going full RV fantasy—Skidaway is worth putting on your list. Or back on your list, if it’s already one of your go-to spots.
