Awesome State Park and Campground. The campground is gorgeous, located on Savage Island with huge oak trees covered with Spanish moss. I stayed three days, site #44 on Possum Trot Loop. Most of the campsites are shaded and level with fire pits and picnic tables. Walked a beautiful nature trail, observed deer, raccoon, squirrels and birds. The park was quite and peaceful sits on the banks of the Ogeechee River. Toured the Civil War Museum and walked around the fort. I definitely will come again.

Fort is beautiful. Trails are very interesting as they open to the river. Campground extremely well taken care of, with large wooded sites. Clean bath houses. Overall a very nice campground.

Park staff very helpful. Pay to go in, not too expensive $-$$. Dogs allowed kept leashed, big plus for us as we had two. Attractive area close to the water. Easy area to walk around. Great piece of history. Small museum attached to park office with interesting artifacts and stories.

A remarkable piece of history that is welcoming, clean, convenient and safe. For those who love the outdoors, enjoy both water and plenty of wildlife - moss hangs from the trees and there are plenty of pictures to be taken. Fans of US Civil …

Are the bike rentals nice?

Jack Britton | Mar 20, 2021
Diane Maki | Mar 21, 2021

Well...the bike we rented was not so great. The chain kept falling off ..handle bars were crooked and if we didnt have tools we would have spent most of the time at the office getting it fixed. The office is not close to the campground. Nice looking bikes and the people are nice too.
