Savannah Oaks RV Resort

W/E/S/C, Level gravel site, The site were fairly close together but have come to expect that with campgrounds right along the Interstate. The bathhouse had private stalls: toilet, sink, shower that were super clean. The campground guest were quiet but there was some road noise that was probably worse up closer to the main road. They require you to arrive before 8 pm to check-in, which could be a minor inconvenience if you had a delay on your trip. The office had a scoop ice cream shop. It was 30 minutes to Downtown Savannah and 45 minutes to Tybee Island. It was a nice resting spot for us as we travelled from Philadelphia, PA to Disney World. We are glad we took the extra day to do some site seeing before hitting Disney mode. We really enjoyed visiting Wormsloe Estate and the beach area for a day. Didn't care for the fact that we had to pay a refundable $50 deposit to get a fire pit.

We had planned to stay at a Harvest Host but they changed their policy right before our stay. Decided that rather than pay to park with no hook ups we would pay for a site and I am glad we did. The campground is convenient to I95. They gave us a pull though site so we didn’t have to unhook our toad. We walked to the river which was beautiful. They had a dog park so after a long travel day the dogs could run. The campground is in the trees so of course there are leaves. But I like the trees. I will always prefer state parks but I am glad they had a place for us. Verizon was 1 to 2 bars but with my cell booster I got 3-4 bars.

We were pretty impressed despite the bad reviews all ove the internet about this place. Clean refreshing pool and beautiful woodsy atmosphere. Nice play area for children and fenced area for your dogs to roam for a bit. Very friendly staff and campers. I would definitely recommend it to others. Close to Savannah and easy access. Found it on https://www.visitsavannah.com/camping-rv-parks will be back!!

I would normally give Savannah Oaks a 5 star rating. The spots are nice and big and the whole park is shaded by lots of trees, many are lovely live oaks. However, for all 3 days of our visit, we were annoyed by the constant BEEP BEEP BEEP of a cherry picker and the sound of a chainsaw trimming said lovely trees. I was also disturbed by how high they were trimming the trees, removing much appreciated shade. More than needed for the big RVs to get by. We visited in May and campground is 60ish% full. Couldn't they have trimmed trees when the park was less crowded and spoiled fewer campers stays? Or couldn't the constant BEEP BEEP BEEP issue have been addressed? Water pressure was abysmal and we ended up filling our fresh water tank vs. using city water. Worked, but so you know.

The campground is located south of Savannah and provides a nice remote location from which to visit. The wi-fi was good. Didn't use any of the shower houses. There's a nice playground for the kids, a pool, and several dog parks. The place is gated providing a sense of security. There's a gas station / convenience store at the entrance to the campground which is handy.

We had a site in the way back by the lake. Our site looked to be the largest and would be more like an island. We checked in and were escorted back to our site. Huge trees on all sides that made for excellent shade and kept the temps down inside our bus. We did have rain, no flood risk though. We appreciated that the trash was dealt with every day by employees. The park seemed well maintained and litter free.

While I am sure others had a great experience, mine was not. Mostly due to flooding into my campsite that forced us to leave after one day. While we got a full refund and that is appreciated, coming home after a day of site seeing in Savannah at 8:00 PM to find your rig almost in a foot of sewage filled, snake filled, gator filled water is concerning.

As I said that evening, A simple phone call goes a long way...we got nothing and would have rushed back to move to high ground.

Telling me not to worry about the moat around my rig was also not a good idea. "The water will recede" also not true as more rain was in the forecast. I just hope the seasonal people across from us got out of there...they were absolutely great and moved across the street (only a foot higher).

Stayed here 11/18/19 to 11/23/19. After checking in, a staff member led me in a golf cart out to my site and then helped me get squared away in the site, which was really nice. Savannah Oaks is setup like many other RV parks where you are pretty close to your neighbors and there isn't a ton of privacy. However, I enjoyed my stay here much more than I typically do at RV parks. They had every kind of amenity you could want, and their staff and the other campers here were very friendly. I really liked that they had a gas station/convenience store right on premise. Their laundry facility had 7 or 8 washing machines and 6 dryers (including two huge commercials ones) and a pool table and arcade games to play while you waited. The bathrooms were very clean and nice and they also had a pool and workout room which I never got a chance to check out. Another big plus for me was that the WiFi worked really well on my laptop (phone not so much for some reason). I was able to work off of it and watch youtube videos no problem.

I think my favorite thing here was the kayak rental. The park is right on the Ogeechee River, so you can rent a kayak from the office (I paid $15 for 4 hours) and go out on the river. It was absolutely beautiful.

The location here is also great. I noticed Savannah traffic could be really bad around rush hour, but typically it only took about 15-20 minutes to get places. Also be sure to check out Black Rifle Coffee just down the street (in the same building as Nine Line apparel) if you like coffee!

I only have a couple negative things to say about Savannah Oaks. First the electric hookups seemed a little janky. The 30amp plug didn't have a breaker on it or even any kind of cover. It was just an exposed outlet. Mine was actually in good shape, but I thought that was kind of odd. The only other thing is that it could be noisy at times. It's right on the highway so you pick up all the traffic noise. And oddly enough, there were a lot of explosion sounds while I was here too. At my last campsite in Columbia, SC I wrote about there being explosions all the time and I figured out it was because the campground was next to Fort Jackson. Well it turns out that Savannah Oaks is also right next to a fort (Fort Stewart), and they were doing mortar drills the entire time I was there. So more explosions... and these actually went for 24 hours, including all through the night. I was told that they only sometimes do this kind of training, so it was just bad luck that I was there while they were doing it, but it's still something I wanted to mention. Other than these two small complaints, everything was great at this RV park.
