Their is a small $5 charge for parking at this state park and it was well worth it. Next time we visit we will have to take the trail we didn't get in this trip. We found the landscape beautiful, the varying habits fascinating, and were even fortunate to see dolphins. We combined the Sandpiper and Avian Trail Loops for... More

This is a small picturesque state park on the edge of a marsh and waterway. Live oaks, spanish moss. Because it is small, traffic noise from outside the park and other noise from nearby residential neighborhoods can be heard. They have recently replaced the oldest bathhouse with a nice new one. Underway is installation of full hookups for a number... More

Long walking trails to enjoy. They are pretty flat but there are lots of roots to trip over. Take water. This time of year go early it gets really hot later in the day.

This bike trail takes you through some of the most beautiful coastal forest I've ever seen; the trail is bumpy with roots, so wear a helmet (or just walk it), but we had a great time. Take pictures in front of the massive cedar!

Wonderful anniversary trip camping in our Pop Up to Savannah. Beautiful large campsites, nice bathroom facilities. Only about 15 minutes to historic Savannah. Lots of construction going in the campground but did not impact us. Laundry at the shower house was convenient - nice staff and helpful.

Do I rate it as it is, or with the changes happening? Woodsy, casual, interesting campsites for us small, medium, even big rigs. Big construction going on right now, but they do not spell "improvements" with the huge gravel pull-thru sites being added. This was a "go-to place", but this "upgrade" is ill advised. You can afford a rig that... More

Skidaway Island is such a nice park. We camped here and had a really nice time. There is so much wildlife around and the hiking trails are really nice. We even watched the Painted Buntings with the nature center staff! How cool!!

This park is clean, friendly and fun to visit. There are multiple nicely kept picnic pavilions, grills and playgrounds. The trails are fun to do and safe. We grilled out hot dogs and went on a short trail hike and had a great time! There is a parking fee of $5 unless you have a state park pass. Trail was... More

If you love the gorgeous Live Oaks in Savannah then you must go to Skidaway Island. There are several different trails to explore that are draped with oaks and run along the water. Trails are long enough to make the 40 minute trip from Tybee Island worthwhile. The island was an active battle site during Revolutionary and Civil wars and... More

Very nice park conveniently close to Savannah and Tybee. Wonderful trails through the salt marshes and a campground deep within an old forest with large trees and Spanish moss. We were here in November, a wonderful time of year to visit south Georgia - warm days and cool nights. Campground is spacious and restrooms are clean.
