I have been here twice. You need to reserve a ferry spot in advance. I wanted to camp there, but was told it was sold out. When I arrived, only 2 spots were filled. The second time, I reserved months in advance for backpacking camping. In order to do this, you must call and be put on hold for up... More

Cumberland Island is worth the trip. I would highly suggest getting the Park Ranger Tour.

Best beach I've ever been to! Its incredibly peaceful, and if you get the chance to see the white deer, you won't be disappointed. Park rangers are friendly, and one even showed us a sea turtle being sent to rehab!!

Nothing like Cumberland. Take the ferry over and spend the day, walking the beach, through the ruins of Dungeness and check out the visitors center while waiting for the return ferry. Don't forget food and water... can't buy anythink on the island!

Absolutely beautiful and a wonderful adventure!!!! We will most definately go back again and again!!! Wish we had brought our camping gear.....we will next time!!!!

We rode a total of 16 miles to see Plum Orchard from the Sea Camp dock. The roads were graded well except for about a mile, and the way back on the beach was super smooth of course. The bikes are only rented at Sea Camp by the ferry operators when the ferry lands, and no reservations can be made.... More

well unfortunaly we did not had prior reservation for the ferry, we were put in the waiting list for 11;45 and we got in,but just to come back at 2:45. It's pretty and all, but we did not had lot of time to explore the whole island . Next time we will make reservations before arrive there.

I've been many times to Cumberland Island, off the coast of Georgia. It's magical, peaceful, and a piece of heaven here on earth. Recently my daughter and I hiked, picnic -ed, and dreamed. It's not hard on a place where time stands still and wild/feral horses roam. The Carnegies once occupied the island along with other millionaires. A summer wonderland... More

This trip to St. Mary's, Amelia Island and Cumberland Island was a relatively last minute decision so I didn't have time for my normal TA pre-visit research. As others have commented, the park service and ferry company are continuing to work out their kinks. We called on Good Friday to attempt a ferry reservation the next day (Saturday). There were... More
