    While traveling south on I-95 this was the perfect location to stop for a few days and one I would recommend. The staff here is extremely helpful and friendly especially our spotter, he made sure we were all set up and the site worked for our rig. The park sits in a beautiful setting with plenty of shade next to a 35 acre lake that guest have full access to. The location is the perfect place if you're looking to spend some time in nearby Savannah. KOA's are notorious for having very little space between the sites I found the sites here are separated by enough green space between the sites comparably and there's plenty of room to maneuver your rig in and out. This location seems to be very popular with over-nighters and the staff seems to group them together for easy exit. The check-in time is noon so there is a steady flow of campers getting set up until the sun sets. I booked our site using the KOA App which is amazingly easy as was the check-in once we arrived. We did have some solicitation during our stay from RV Detailers looking for work which is a little annoying and I didn't see of the guest during our stay contract this type of work. Considering the location and proximity to Savannah I thought the prices were very reasonable, they also have a fully stocked camp store which is very convenient. I would definitely book a site here again...

    Has to be one of the most picturesque KOA we've visited. We enjoyed an evening stroll around the South Savannah KOA in Richmond Hill, GA. Their pond is apparently home to Swans, Great Egrets and Cormorants which were amazing to see. The KOA staff were absolutely delightful and very helpful. 10 star KOA!!

    First, the employees are TOP NOTCH! True hospitality. There is a pool here which was awesome to cool off. There are canoe rentals for free to go out on the water. WiFi is included. The tent sites are a little close but still enough space to do whatever you need. The views are impeccable. A dog park is on the premises. Everything in the campsite store is extremely reasonably priced- which is rare! We had a blast!

    A really well kept place. A nice pool, clean restrooms, most sites are wide, a beautiful lake. There are some beautiful cabins surrounding the lake, some tent sites next to water and plenty of pull through sites. I like how they keep the seasonal and long term well in the back and keep the traveling people up front by restrooms and pool. Also is a nice rec hall with table games and a nice office/gift shop. Easy on off highway about a mile to 95

    1ft kitty pool.

    I was a guest in one of the tent sites and overall it was a great stay. Though the camps are closer together than I had hoped for and there was no areas to go exploring. Please note you will need your own tent! Check in is at 12pm and check out is at 11am. Most of my time was spent in the (3-8ft) pool till it closed at about 8pm. They do not have a hot tub, they do however have a (1ft) kitty pool. If you plan on swimming, bring your own towels, sunscreen and entertainment. There is also a playground. They provided 2 outlets on the camp sight, I reccomend bringing an extention cord with more if needed. Water faucet on camp sight, which I only used it to wash my hands. Then wifi for 1 device, $5 for anything extra. I had a great view of the lake from my tent. If you'd like to rent a boat, they do have that as an option. Plenty of swans, geese, and I did see a few turtles. (Beware of aligators, I didn't see any, but there was a sighn around the lake.) If you have your own animals they are welcome as long as they don't bother other campers, there's a potty spot for them. You'll have parking on the campsite for 1 vehicle, that I know, I'd advise calling about any additional transports. There's a picnic table and a raised sand bed for your tent sight along with a grill and a firepit. Bring something to sit on if you don't wanna move the picnic table. As for making the fire I'd suggest bringing your own wood/charcoal/firestarter. They have a little store that you'll see when you check in open from 8am-8pm if I'mnot too badly mistaken, if you forgot anything it should be there. Oh and If you plan to do laundry bring some quarters. Can't remember the prices because I just hung mine on the clothesline, but I'd say at least $5 and you would also need soap. Their bathrooms were clean and had a couple shower areas, if you plan to use them bring your own towels and toiletrees. Lastly they do take care of the trash for you l, if you put it in a trashbag and lay it out between 8-11am. Hope this review helps give you an idea of what to expect when camping at Savannah South KOA!

    Pond in the campground has lots of swans and other water birds

    They booked me without any glitches. Nice shuttle service to Savanah. I can't give them 5 stars because the RV sights are set like a parking lot - in rows. My view is other campers to my right, left, front and back. If you are not going to be here enjoying your campsite, I recommend it though, just because of the convenience.

    Love the staff, great location Quiet and clean The cabins are exceptional great. Great value, totally serene.

    We enjoyed our stay at this KOA. We had a great waterfront spot and witnessed a beautiful sunrise over the water that was covered with swans. The restrooms were extremely clean. The staff were very kind and helpful. The campground is obviously very well taken care of and looked after. Though this place is great, there is a slight roar of traffic.

    The view was pretty

    Upon entering this Cabin I was excited to start my week, everthing looked nice pulling in, the cabin (Kampers cabin 2 rooms) was kinda private with a great view of the water. Then we got closer to it, there looked to have recently been a fire in the pit because it still had smoke coming from it, then we got to the porch and there was this blue gunk on it, kinda looked like candy or something. When we opened the door is was super hot inside even though its supposed to have an AC, we went over to the AC and it was bit blowing as good as a normal AC. My husband reported it to the office where they said there was nothing they could do, it was just a cabin and it wasn't insulated (I've stayed at a KOA in Myrtle Beach and you can not only leave the door of the cabin open all-day but if you don't turn it off it will freeze you out) looking further I noticed cracks in the walls you could actually see outside through and the AC was right next to them it was bit centered in the cabin like others I've been in. We always had mosquitoes in the cabin even though we only opened the door long enough to run in as fast as possible due to the fact we went out and bought fans to help cool it down (worked some but the lowest the temp ever got was 80 and that was at night) and there was a fly infestation by the door of the cabin. The swans were wonderful to see in the mornings, but the bathrooms were a good walk away especially with 3 kids. The playground and pool looked nice, but this was during Covid so we couldn't even take a dip in the pool to cool off unless it was scheduled first. There was now shower pressure, but at least the restooms we clean and air-conditioned, sometime we walked to them to cool down. We left after day 2, luckily they gave us a refund for the days we payed for but didn't stay for. This would be a great place for fall or winter for people who don't have young children. It would be an amazing place if the added a bathroom closer to the 2 bedroom cabins. If you enjoy POKEMON GO the only pokestop there is at the office, it cannot be reached from any of the cabins

Honestly, you might want to avoid it at all times due to the relentless noise. Between the train tracks running right through the property at all hours, heavy traffic buzzing from nearby roads, and military planes and helicopters rattling the sky all day from your neighboring military airbase, peace and quiet simply do not exist here. Another reviewer suggested using earplugs, but trust me: nothing is going to save your sanity when a full-blown freight train blares its horn at 3 a.m. every morning! We booked way in advance online for a week-long plus stay, only to be placed in a spot with absolutely zero shade. When we asked to move, the head staff, Leslie's favorite catchphrase was "just call us next time." Good to know & thanks so much for this lovely help, Leslie! To cool down, you can always hike an eighth of a mile to their very nice pool. Just be prepared for the "gravel gauntlet" (similar to your site, by the way)--navigating loose rocks in flip-flops while carrying pool gear in the heat isn't much fun. Ultimately, we've stayed in cheaper, friendlier, and much more accommodating places. Unless you really love the blazing sun, constant noise and unhelpful office manager, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

    First of all, Sunshine RV Park is VERY MUCH in business! We stayed here for a month during…read moreSeptember 2024. What has happened... the original owner William L. "Bill" Bruner passed June 2022 and now his grandson Michael Bruner is running Sunshine RV Park LLC. We stayed here 20 yrs ago and much has changed and for the better. Sunshine RV Park now has about 70 level concrete RV sites. The RV sites are about 65 ft in length of which 50 ft is poured concrete with a concrete patio. We have a 45ft motorcoach and we fit on our site just fine. All of the sites have 50/30/15 amp electric, water (good tasting/good pressure) and sewer. No problems with electric voltage even in the hot Georgia summertime. And new concrete sites are being added at this time. Lots of area to add more RV sites. Michael is doing a great job as the new owner of Sunshine RV Park. Michael manages the RV park full-time and has help. Someone to cut grass/weed trimming around the RV sites and someone to pick up any trash and help maintain the RV Park. RV sites are being improved ongoing. We use T-Mobile and get a consistent 550-600 mbps down and 10-15 mbps up speeds. With T-Mobile we achieved 5GUC 2-3 bars the majority of the time at the RV Park. We also have a T-Mobile 4G hot spot and achieved speeds of 15-20 mpbs down and 5-15 mbps up. No problems streaming at all. Sunshine RV Park is big rig friendly. No rocks to navigate around and no overhead tree limbs to worry about. Plenty of room between RV's. All of the sites are back-in except one site which is pull-thru. Sunshine RV Park is pet friendly and has lots of grass for your pet. Just make sure to pick-up after your pet, keep them on a leash at all times and no disturbing of neighbors by your pet. All commonsense rules to live by. Now let me say this... Sunshine RV Park has mostly long-term contract area workers. Advance reservations are needed to stay at Sunshine RV Park. Rif-raff is not tolerated at all by the owner, and it is very quiet here after dusk. I would say that about 60 of the 70 sites are long-term RV'ers. This being said, if you are a traveler and are looking for someplace in the Savannah area to stay, consider Sunshine RV Park IF you want to stay for 1 to 4 weeks or more. You must have a self-contained RV - no tenters. No playground/swimming pool or other RV resort amenities here, but you are only 7 miles to the Savannah Historic District, a 7-minute drive to Kroger grocery and CVS/Walgreens or a 10-minute drive to a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Lots and lots of fantastic area restaurants to choose from that feature great southern-style cooking! Sunshine RV Park is a safe and quiet (an occasional jet flying overhead) place to park your RV as it's in a residential area. On Sunshine Avenue is the Georgia Public Safety Training Center - a training complex for all Georgia state and local public safety agencies. The Garden City Public Library, the Police/Fire Dept/EMS are all less than a mile from the RV Park. The owner's home is next to Sunshine RV Park, and he drives around the RV Park to ensure its safety. Amazon local delivery, Wal-Mart grocery local delivery, UPS and FedEx all serve Sunshine RV Park as we had deliveries from all four during our stay. There is a farmers' market at Forsyth Park every Saturday year-round from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM featuring a variety of farm goods and prepared foods. We did encounter a minor problem with USPS mail. USPS does not deliver to this address unless you register with the Post Office prior to receiving postal mail. To have our USPS postal mail received, we used Post Office General Delivery Service and picked up our mail at the Savannah Post Office downtown. The Savannah Visitor Center on MLK is a great resource to help plan your area adventure. Savannah is a walking town. Savannah has squares and parks, and these are the community's most beloved icons. Originally designed with 24 squares, 22 remain today to be enjoyed by the millions who walk these grassy utopias every year. If I was to mention a negative, driving down Sunshine Ave. we did encounter some tree branches. No damage to our RV but do drive slowly. Sunshine Ave. is only a half-mile long street and the RV park is on the left side at the end of the street. The RV Park's office has a large sign on it with the address and phone number of Sunshine RV Park. We truly enjoyed our 1 month stay here at Sunshine RV Park and absolutely enjoyed our visit to beautiful and historical Savannah, Georgia. We hope the information we have provided will help you plan your visit to Savannah. Update - I had given a copy of our review of Sunshine RV Park to the owner about a week prior to a departure. Michael had read that I had commented on our encounter of some tree branches along Sunshine Ave. and trimmed them back nicely! Even trimming tree branches of private property owners who's homes border Sunshine Ave. IMO, this owner truly cares about this business.

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!
