That is, if you reserve your site well enough in advance, because this campground can fill up pretty quickly. My family visited for a summer trip in 2023, and we made our reservation about one month in advance. There were a limited number of sites to choose from.
Sleep underneath a canopy of oak trees, draped with Spanish moss, smack dab in the middle of nature.

We absolutely loved the picture-perfect setting of this campground. Oaks dripping with Spanish moss are some of my most favorite trees, and this scene with the sun shining through them captures their magnificent presence and beauty.

One of the highlights of this campground is the location - you’ll be within walking distance to the ocean, as well as other popular sites throughout Jekyll Island.

Make sure to bring your bikes when you camp, or rent some from the campground, because it’ll be easy to hop on the nearby bike trail and travel to certain hotspots throughout the island, like Driftwood Beach!

On the morning we left to head back home from our trip, we decided to get up early to catch the sunrise on Driftwood Beach. And let me just put it this way, it's magical. Words cannot do justice in describing the experience, and as gorgeous as photos are, there's no comparison to being there in person to feeling the breeze and hear the sounds of the ocean as the sun peeks above and moves up over the horizon.
