The campground has both pull-through ($36.75) and back-in ($33.60) sites with many long-term snow birds during the winter months ($525/mo). All sites have EWS, there is free wifi and cable at each site, and laundry is $1.50 each for wash and dry. The young girls working in the office seem more interested in surfing the web and listening to their... More

The bathrooms seem to have been upgraded. But although it is situated in a nice place (there aren't any bad places on the island), and in a state park, it is not operated by the state park system, but a separate "authority." What that means is the campground is just like the commercial ones where there are a lot of... More

Wow ~ stayed at this campground with my parents as a teenager many years ago for a few summers in a row. Came back with MY teenagers and it was the best experience. Nice amenities, wonderful staff, and so many added site upgrades. The surrounding beaches, fishing piers, restaurants (Latitude 31). A must see is Historic District it is amazing,... More

Its beautiful, shady and clean!! I read a lot of comments about the squirrels and raccoon being rude.... we only had one squirrel that wanted... More

We stayed here for the Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival from Thursday thru Sunday. I read the reviews about the squirrels, raccoons and dust/dirt. This I can handle it's all part of camping. What I can't handle is the harrassment we received from the campground host during our stay. We were constantly told we were driving our golf cart too... More

The oak canopy is awesome--the whole place is well manicured shade (saw a cherry picker truck grooming them once every 7 days or so). Next time we'll be sure to get a spot closer to the back of the park, or along the sides...fair amount of vehicles coming and going along the main campground loop. Yes, they have poor-mannered squirrels.... More

The campground on Jekyll Island is perfect for families with children. It is a few steps away from a paved walking path, a short walk/drive from the driftwood beach, and the campground store has everything you will need (a bit pricey, but no more so than other campground stores-and they have free coffee, which is always a plus for parents)....

I read these reviews before I went and felt like almost every single bad one was proven wrong. The customer service we received could not have been more pleasant or flexible. They changed the dates AND camping site with no problem with not even 24 hours notice. Also they were super friendly and informative. Sometimes cranky customers create cranky service,... More
