OutdOOrs Park an RV at Skidaway Island State Park SAVANNAH Bordering Skidaway Narrows – part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway – on a barrier island, Skidaway Island State Park is a uniquely picturesque place to make a stop in your RV. Roll in and hook up the camper van at Skidaway Island’s well-appointed campground, nestled under live oaks and Spanish moss. With 6 miles of hiking trails winding through lush maritime forest and pristine salt marshes, the park’s paths are mostly flat, making them great for families or those avoiding anything too strenuous. Wildlife abounds here, too, so keep an eye out for fiddler crabs, deer, raccoons, egrets, and other animals. Skidaway is part of the Colonial Coast Birding Trail , making it popular for birders looking to spy osprey, painted bunting, warblers, and even bald eagles. At the park’s Visitor & Interpretive Center , you’ll find binoculars, reference books, a window for bird viewing, and a variety of displays to learn about the surrounding coastal ecosystem. Kids are sure to love the turtle habitat, butterfly garden, and 20-foot replica of a giant ground-sloth skeleton. There are also two playgrounds on-site, bicycles available to rent, covered picnic shelters, and a nearby boat ramp for additional recreational fun. Among Skidaway Island State Park’s 87 RV, trailer, and tent sites with electrical hookups – some with sewer hookups – nearly 30 sites are considered “premium” for their expansive size and pull-through options. For comfort and convenience, there are also multiple picnic tables, grills, fire rings, laundry facilities, showers, and restrooms, making it an ideal spot to spend a few days. Looking for a primo camp spot? Do a little research online. Not all sites at this RV-friendly campground are created equally, and you can review each location’s details like max vehicle length, available amenities, and even photos. Insider tip: some say Site 30 is the best of the best for being spacious, shaded, and level. Take a day trip: Darien Want to explore more of the area? Head 63 miles south to Darien , where you can visit the oldest remaining English fort on Georgia’s coast. Tour the reconstructed barracks, officers’ quarters, and more at Fort King George State Historic Site , then make your way to the Old Jail Art Center and Museum to admire historical Darien architecture along with artifacts and art spanning the centuries. It’s one of the earliest structures still standing in the heart of town. Enjoy a waterfront meal at Skippers’ Fish Camp before or after a wine-tasting boat tour on the Darien River with Georgia Tidewater Outfitters . EXPLOREGEORGIA.ORG 37
