SKIDAWAY ISLAND STATE PARK
Located near historic Savannah, this barrier island has both salt and fresh water due to estuaries and marshes that flow through the area. The park borders Skidaway Narrows, a part of the intracoastal waterway, and provides scenic camping and picnicking areas. Two nature trails wind through marshes, live oaks, cabbage-palmettos and longleaf pines, allowing visitors to watch for deer, raccoon, shore birds and rare migrating birds such as the Painted Bunting. Observation towers provide another chance for visitors to search for wildlife on this beautiful island. A giant ground sloth replica, birding station, nature exhibits and reptile room are featured in the park's nature center.

Located 15 miles southeast of Savannah on Diamond Causeway.
We loved this park! The sites are huge and even though the park was full it never felt that way at all! We spent a lot of time on the trails and at the nature center. John that works there took an increadible amount of time with my children explaining all the animals and reptiles and letting them see each one! They wanted to go and visit the snakes there everyday of our stay. I would highly recommend this park to anyone looking to camp in Savannah.
