The short version

Jekyll Island Campground lists 228 sites: 216 full hookup RV sites, 12 primitive tent sites and six yurts. Electricity is 30 and 50 amps, back-in full hookups start at $51 and pull-throughs at $54, and the maximum RV length is 45 feet depending on the site. You also pay a parking fee at the gate each day.

Skidaway Island State Park (87 tent, trailer and RV sites; some with sewer) and Fort McAllister State Park (67 sites) are the Savannah-area state-park options. Skidaway’s campground renovation began February 2, 2026 and is scheduled to last one year.
