Stayed here for 1 night on our way to Savannah from Jacksonville.
Arrived late arvo.
The road in is slightly sandy (no issues for F350 Truck Camper in 2WD).
Picked a spot right on the river.
Lovely care taker present who took our details.
There are a few long timers set up but they were lovely.
Very quiet & shaded camp spots.
Would definitely stay again.
Note - our camper is 12.6ft high - no issues with overhanging trees or branches.
No cell service (which was lovely)

Our time here was awesome! We met several other fellow full-timers and had a great time forming new friendships.
It's truly surprising this place is free. There are no designated spots but there is plenty of space to spread out here. This place includes a boat ramp, showers and real toilets. We did not use the showers or bathrooms as we have our own on board. Other campers told us they weren't the cleanest but they actually had hot water. Unheard of for a free spot. They also have water spigots outside the bathrooms and trash collection.
It was quiet during our stay here. On the weekends there was a bit more noise as this is a favorite spot to launch boats into the water. But nothing over the top. From almost anywhere here you have a view of the water. It's a sandy road coming in for a few miles but we had no trouble with our 31' Class-C RV.
There is a sign stating a 7 day max stay. But no one was enforcing that. During out stay everyone was very nice and friendly and respected each other's space.
There is a decent sized town about 25 minutes away with plenty of supplies.
This place was quite the gem and we would stay here again. We would have stayed longer but we needed to continue south for warmer weather. We stayed over New Years and into the first week of January.
I highly recommend driving the hour in and checking out St. Simone's Island (a great way to spend New Years Day).
Some other reviewers (here and YouTube) mentioned the locals being territorial, we did not encounter that during our week long stay.
Lastly, our internet worked great here without the booster so we were able to accomplish some work during our stay.
We kayaked out to the Altamaha River, there is a nice sandy area to park it and hang out for the afternoon. The weather was perfect for that during our stay.

This could be a great camping experience with flush toilets and hot showers the only problem is there is no camp director on site. During our stay 2 campers ram their very loud generators all night making it impossible to sleep and BLASTED country Sunday morning 7AM. I asked both to stop their generators. One did the other one refused.

Water entered my camper van and was all over the floor
I had to call a towing company to get out.
I visited the site again 2 days later and found somebody else stuck in the same hole, so I figured I warn visitors here!
Don’t take my rating seriously. I have never seen the camping area. Just here to warn people and this app forces me to rate it.

This was a wonderful find. There is a 3 mile rough road to get to the site. Once there you will find dumpsters, water, a dump, and about 10 campsites, some have tables, most don’t. The interesting thing is that there are crosses for people that have died randomly placed throughout the site. I found this fun and spooky. The river/swamp also added to the spookyness. The water comes up to a few of the campsites so it’s a beautiful view out your window. I didn’t make reservations and it doesn’t seem like they have a reservation system.

“Free. Road Is Not Great”
Reviewed 1/30/2023

We stayed in March of 2021. Free place but a lot of squatters who have set up their lives there, run their generators through the night, and stared at us awkwardly the whole time. Mosquitos were terrible. Airplanes were loud. Road is not great, miles away from town. Not going back… however a beautiful sunset over the water.. lol

If you have a big rig and it just rained a lot. The road leading there and much of the park is SAND. This will turn to slick and sinking mud. Def appraise before venturing.
Your GPS WILL LIE. It will take you in a NARROW one way back woods rd. If you’re on orchard or cemetery road turn around. We kept going thinking we were close and at the end it was fenced off. We could BARELY turn around and it scratched up our RV.
You was COX rd SW to BARRINGTON rd. It’s a very easy dirt road. ANYTHING ELSE IS DANGEROUS. again COX rd SW to BARRINGTON
