    Do you want stagfwring views, gorgeous back grounds, jellyfish and shells? Then Driftwood beach may…read morebe your perfect spot. Pay your $10 per car fee to get onto Jekyll Island, qnd drive 4 miles north. Enjoy the 1950's - to modern home styles, as the drive is a beautiful one. There is street parking, but only on the left side of the street and only about 14 parking spots. The walk to the beach is easy to moderate while walking thru soft sand, until the beach, where ancient trees lay on their sides, and roots make for a gorgeous view. The day we were here, the beach was littered with the bodies of cannon ball jellyfish, which are surprisingly solid, so watch your feet. Enjoy the temperate water of the Atlantic ocean and the bright South Ga Sun for a perfect afternoon.

    Driftwood Beach is pure coastal magic…read more I stopped here during a short business trip to Jekyll Island, and I honestly fell in love with this place. The beach gets its name from the incredible collection of weathered trees and driftwood scattered along the shoreline, creating the most dreamy, almost storybook-like scenery. Jekyll Island has such a fascinating history, and this area is a beautiful reminder of how nature and time continue to shape the island. What was once a thriving forest has gradually transformed into this unique coastal landscape due to erosion and changing shorelines. Walking along the beach surrounded by these beautiful, sculptural trees felt so peaceful and surreal. Add in the friendly locals, Southern charm, and laid-back island atmosphere, and I completely understood why Jekyll Island has such a special charm. I came for business, but Jekyll Island quickly became one of those unexpected places I'll remember long after the trip is over. Driftwood Beach was definitely one of my favorite stops, and I'm already looking forward to coming back.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this campground. The resort is beautifully maintained, with all paved…read moreroads and spacious sites that are a generous 35 feet wide. Our pull‑through site had full hookups (30 & 50 amp service) and plenty of room to maneuver, making setup easy and stress‑free. Each site is beautifully lined on both sides with magnolia bushes and trees, providing a surprising amount of privacy and a peaceful, park‑like feel. We also appreciated that each site has a separate spigot for washing your rig or vehicle, which is a thoughtful and convenient feature. One of the biggest advantages for us was the easy access to I‑95. We used this campground as a two‑night stopping point to break up our drive from Myrtle Beach to Miami, and the location was perfect--quick on and off the highway without the noise you might expect. The amenities here truly stand out. There are multiple bath houses and laundromats, all clean and convenient, plus a well‑stocked store with RV supplies and LP gas. The entire resort is handicap accessible, which is clearly reflected in the layout and facilities. There's no shortage of things to do--fishing on the lake, relaxing by the swimming pool, or enjoying shuffleboard, horseshoes, and the game room. The pavilion fire rings, dock, and conference center add even more versatility. What really sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. When we had an issue, they quickly referred us to a local mobile RV repair technician, who was wonderful and took great care of us. This campground is excellent as an overnight or travel stop, but it's so well‑kept, quiet, and amenity‑rich that we would absolutely recommend it for a longer stay as well. We would happily return.

    I've wanted to stay at this "resort" for over 3 years (since we started full timing) but I can…read morehonestly say I'm terribly disappointed! The sites are extremely small, we have a 44ft 5th wheel. The sites haven't been mowed in weeks, grass/weeds are 2 foot tall in most places and the no see ums are insane! The dog park looks like it was an afterthought. For the price, I expected better. St Simons Island has been the highlight of this trip, however, we won't return!

    We adore this campground. We have stayed 4 times over the past 2 years. The sites are spacious and…read moresettled deep in the woods. The facilities are well kept. The employees and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. There is lots of trails and wildlife to enjoy. Anytime we have had issues, they are promptly addressed and rectified. The only slight drawback is the paper mill stench. It can be quite awful at times. Oh! And the noseeum's. Bring bug spray! We regularly visit Savannah, Jacksonville, St Simons, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island and Okefenokee National Park while staying here. Brunswick has all the necessities you would need and is a nice town. Husband always visits the Pinball Palace! Highly recommend staying a while and really exploring the beauty of this area.

Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer. Very cool and clever. [Review 19929 overall - 616 in Georgia - 902 of 2023.]

    I had reservations at another RV Park and it was awful. I searched for RV parks, called, there were…read moreno vacancies. I was very disappointed. Then I was driving down the highway and found this little gem! Ms CINDY was really nice lady. I stayed here a week and I would stay again. There's no restrooms-showers-laundry rooms. I never use those at RV parks anyways. Full Hook ups. 30 amp $25.00 50 amp $30.00. Free Wi-Fi that worked great

    Great place for the price. After paying around $47 a night for a state park in Savannah it was nice…read moreto find this place with full hookups and 50 amp for $30. And Miss Cindy the owner was a joy. Pure southern hospility at it's best. For these two reasons I am giving this place 5 stars. For the campground itself, I would give 3 and a half to four stars because of site size and road noise. As all other reviewers stated, this place is no frills (no laundry, pool, fire rings, etc). So don't bring your kids and expect them to be entertained. There are only 12 sites (I think) and you are all lined up in a row with maybe 10 to fifteen feet of space between you. But you don't feel too cramped. At least we didn't feel like that in our site #7. And no one is in front of you except a couple of beautiful live oak trees. So...here is what you DO get: Water, electric and sewer Pretty level sites Great free Wi-fi Good cell service with ATT Good pull in and pull out room for our 43' motorhome and toad without having to disconnect Wonderful areas for walking your pets You are an hour or less from Savannah, Brunswick, Jekyl and St. Simon Islands You are blocks away from "the smallest church in America" - a great photo stop You are 7 miles from the Shrimp Shack where a pound of heads on shrimp was $3.75 and it was delicious! You are 10 minutes from the really nice Bi-Lo grocery store in Darien (also a cute town) The only con was also the convenience of being right off Highway 17. There was obviously traffic during what most would call rush hour in the mornings and evenings; but other than that we slept great even with the windows open! In fact it was so quiet at night I was able to hear a hoot owl off in the distance. All in all this was a great place for us to stay. We were headed to Florida but knew it would be almost impossible to find a campground or RV park with an opening for the weekend. So this was a great stop where we had time to do some internet research (with the great Wi-Fi) and find a couple of options to head to on Sunday. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Miss Cindy!
