RV Parks In Savannah, Georgia

32.0835° N, 81.0998° W

Quick Overview

Savannah is one of the South's great RV road-trip stops, and you've got real choices for where to park the rig. The camping picture here splits cleanly between two excellent Georgia State Parks and a ring of private resorts around the edge of the city. Both are worth knowing before you book, because they serve very different trips. If you want oaks, marsh, and quiet, the public parks win. If you want full hookups, a pool, and an easy big-rig pull-through, the private resorts deliver.

On the public side, Skidaway Island State Park is the local favorite. Its campground sits under live oaks dripping Spanish moss, with level water-and-electric sites, on-site sewer at some, a dump station, and roughly six miles of trails through the maritime forest and salt marsh. It's only about 20 minutes from the historic district, which makes it the sweet spot for sightseeing without paying resort rates. South of the city, Fort McAllister State Park puts you on the Ogeechee River next to the best-preserved Confederate earthwork fort in the country, with fishing, boating, and quiet wooded sites.

On the private side, CreekFire RV Resort is the headliner, with around 206 full-hookup sites, a lazy river, a splash pad, and on-site dining about 20 minutes from downtown. Savannah South KOA Holiday in Richmond Hill takes rigs up to 70 feet, and Red Gate Farms RV Resort is the closest full-service option to the historic core, with in-town lakes and walking trails. Just over the South Carolina line, Savannah Lakes RV Resort sits four minutes off I-95 Exit 5 with pull-throughs up to 90 feet and no city traffic to fight on arrival.

Big rigs do fine at the resorts and at both state parks, though some wooded state-park sites run short. Reservations are the rule here, not the exception, especially in spring and fall. Read on for getting there, what it costs, the seasons, the attractions that make Savannah worth the stop, and our local tips for booking the right site.

Traveling to Savannah by RV

Getting to Savannah with an RV is straightforward. I-95 runs north-south just west of the city and is the main artery for snowbirds and East Coast travelers, while I-16 branches off and feeds straight into downtown from the west. Savannah Lakes RV Resort sits right off I-95 Exit 5 in Hardeeville, so you never touch city streets, which makes it the easiest big-rig arrival in the area. CreekFire and the KOA are both a short hop off the interstates as well.

The one place you do not want a big rig is the historic district itself. Those famous oak-shaded squares are narrow, one-way, and ringed with low live-oak branches and tight turns. Park the rig at your campground and use your tow vehicle, a rideshare, or the free downtown shuttle to explore. If you are flying in to rent a motorhome, Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is just northwest of town off I-95. US-17 and GA-21 handle the local runs to Tybee Island and up toward Hardeeville, and both are comfortable for towing.

Before You Go: RV Trip Essentials

Dump stations are only one piece of the trip puzzle. Before you set out for your trip to Savannah, Georgia, it's worth taking thirty minutes to check that the basics are in place — the four areas below are where unprepared RVers most often get stung.

Check your RV insurance coverage

A standard auto policy rarely covers a Class A, Class C, or travel trailer the way a dedicated RV insurance policy does. If you're financing a motorhome, lenders typically require comprehensive and collision; full-timers should additionally price in vacation liability and personal belongings coverage. Rates vary widely by state and travel pattern — compare quotes from multiple RV-focused carriers before each season.

Know your roadside assistance options

RV-specific roadside plans tow motorhomes and trailers that regular AAA coverage won't touch — flat beds, mobile mechanics, tire service for duallies, and even emergency lockouts at remote campgrounds. Good plans cover your spouse and trailer even if you're driving a separate vehicle, and some include trip interruption reimbursement if a breakdown costs you a reservation.

Decide about an extended warranty early

Original manufacturer warranties on new RVs typically run 12–24 months — shorter than most buyers realize. An extended service contract (essentially a mechanical breakdown policy) covers the appliances, slides, levelling systems, and drivetrain components that can run $3,000–$10,000 to replace. The time to price one is before the factory coverage expires, not after something breaks.

Set up a travel rewards card for fuel and fees

A no-annual-fee travel or gas rewards card pays for itself on a single month of RV travel. Expect to spend $400–$800 per week combined on fuel, campgrounds, and propane — 3–5% cash back on gas alone covers the next oil change. For bigger trips, a sign-up bonus can offset campground fees for the whole season.

Dump Station Costs in Savannah

RV camping around Savannah runs a wide range. The two Georgia State Parks, Skidaway Island and Fort McAllister, are the value play, typically in the $35 to $50 a night band for water-and-electric sites, plus the standard small parking fee. That is the cheapest way to camp close to the historic district.

Private resorts cost more. CreekFire, the Savannah South KOA, and Savannah Lakes RV Resort generally fall in the $55 to $90 a night range for full hookups, with the higher end during spring, fall, and festival weekends. Red Gate Farms sits a bit lower and closer to town. Expect peak pricing and minimum-night stays around St. Patrick's Day and on holiday weekends. Snowbirds passing through in winter can often find better weekly and monthly rates at the private parks, since demand softens between the fall and spring rushes. Booking midweek almost always saves money over a Friday or Saturday arrival.

Best Time to Visit Savannah by RV

❄️

Winter

Nov - Feb

40F - 62F

Mar - May

56F - 78F

Crowds: High

Azalea season and the huge St. Patrick festival make this the busiest, hardest-to-book stretch. Reserve months ahead for any March or April weekend.

☀️

Summer

Jun - Aug

73F - 92F

Crowds: Medium

Hot and very humid with afternoon thunderstorms. Crowds thin out; book a full-hookup site with 50A so your AC can keep up.

🍂

Fall

Sep - Oct

57F - 79F

Crowds: High

The best weather of the year, dry and comfortable. Weekends book early; midweek is easier and the marsh light is gorgeous.

Explore the Savannah Area

A few things we've learned about camping the Savannah area. First, book early. Skidaway Island and Fort McAllister both open their reservation windows about six months out, and spring and fall weekends are gone fast. St. Patrick's Day weekend is the single hardest booking of the year, when the whole city fills up, so if that's your target, reserve months ahead at any park within an hour.

Second, match the park to the trip. The state parks are the better value and the prettier setting, but if you want a pool, full sewer at every site, and easy big-rig maneuvering, the private resorts earn their higher rate. Third, leave the rig parked when you go downtown. The squares are not RV-friendly, and parking a 35-foot coach in the historic core is a headache you don't need. Finally, plan a Tybee Island beach day, but get there early on summer weekends because the public beach lots fill by mid-morning.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dump Stations in Savannah

What are the best RV parks in Savannah, GA?

For public camping, Skidaway Island State Park is the local favorite, with live-oak-shaded sites, water and electric hookups, and a 20-minute drive to downtown. Fort McAllister State Park on the Ogeechee River is the other strong public option. On the private side, CreekFire RV Resort leads with around 206 full-hookup sites and a lazy river, while Savannah South KOA, Red Gate Farms, and Savannah Lakes RV Resort just over the South Carolina line round out the choices. Match the setting and amenities you want to the right one.

Do Savannah RV parks have full hookups?

Yes, the private resorts do. CreekFire, Savannah South KOA, Savannah Lakes RV Resort, and Red Gate Farms all offer full hookups with 30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer at the site. The two Georgia State Parks, Skidaway Island and Fort McAllister, provide water and 30/50 amp electric with a dump station on-site, and some Skidaway sites add sewer. If full sewer at every site matters to you, book one of the private resorts; if you want the prettier setting and a lower rate, the state parks are excellent.

How much does RV camping cost in Savannah?

Expect the two Georgia State Parks to run roughly $35 to $50 a night for water-and-electric sites, which is the best value close to downtown. Private full-hookup resorts like CreekFire, the KOA, and Savannah Lakes generally fall in the $55 to $90 a night range, with the top of that band during spring, fall, and festival weekends. Booking midweek saves money over a weekend arrival, and snowbirds passing through in winter can often find discounted weekly and monthly rates at the private parks.

How far ahead do I need to reserve a campsite in Savannah?

Book early. Both state parks open their reservation windows about six months out through the Georgia State Parks system, and spring and fall weekends disappear quickly. St. Patrick's Day weekend is the single busiest booking of the year, when the entire city fills, so reserve months ahead if that is your target. Private resorts also book up for festival and holiday weekends. Midweek and winter stays are far easier, and you can sometimes find last-minute openings outside the spring and fall peaks.

When is the best time to go RV camping in Savannah?

Fall is the sweet spot, with dry, comfortable weather and gorgeous marsh light, though weekends book early. Spring is beautiful too thanks to the azaleas, but it is the busiest and hardest to book around the St. Patrick festival. Summer is hot and very humid with afternoon storms, so crowds thin and you will want a 50-amp site for your air conditioning. Winter is mild and a favorite snowbird stopover off I-95, with all the area parks open year-round, and you will usually find the lowest rates of the year then.

Can big rigs camp near Savannah?

Yes. The private resorts are built for big rigs: Savannah Lakes RV Resort has pull-throughs up to 90 feet with easy access right off I-95 Exit 5, and Savannah South KOA takes rigs up to 70 feet. CreekFire offers big-rig pull-throughs as well. The two Georgia State Parks accept big rigs on their level sites, though some wooded sites run shorter, so check the length limit when you book. The one place to avoid a large rig entirely is the narrow historic district downtown.

Are there free or first-come camping options near Savannah?

Not really. The Savannah area is a reservation market, not a boondocking one. The coastal land is mostly private, marsh, or developed, so there is very little dispersed or free camping close to the city. A handful of travelers overnight at retail lots while passing through on I-95, but for an actual stay you will be booking a state park or a private resort. If free camping is your goal, you would need to head well inland toward national forest land, which is a long drive from the coast.

Which Savannah campground is closest to the historic district?

Red Gate Farms RV Resort is the closest full-service park to the historic core, sitting in-town with its own lakes and walking trails. Skidaway Island State Park is about 20 minutes away and is the most scenic close-in option. CreekFire RV Resort is also roughly 20 minutes out. Wherever you stay, plan to leave the rig at the campground and use a tow vehicle or rideshare to reach downtown, because the historic squares are narrow, one-way, and not built for maneuvering a motorhome or trailer.

Can I camp near Tybee Island?

There is no large RV park on Tybee Island itself, but the beach is an easy day trip from any of the Savannah-area campgrounds. From Skidaway Island, CreekFire, or Red Gate Farms you are roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the sand, fishing pier, and the historic Tybee Lighthouse. Drive over on US-80, which is fine for a tow vehicle, and arrive early on summer weekends because the public beach lots fill by mid-morning. Most RVers base near the city and treat Tybee as a day at the beach.

Are the Savannah state parks good for RVs?

Very good. Skidaway Island State Park offers level sites under live oaks with water and 30/50 amp electric, sewer at some sites, a dump station, and clean modern bathhouses, all about 20 minutes from downtown. Fort McAllister State Park gives you riverfront camping next to a remarkable Civil War fort. Both are bookable through the Georgia State Parks reservation system and cost noticeably less than the private resorts. They are our pick for travelers who value setting and price over a pool and full sewer at every single site.

What is there to do in Savannah for RVers?

Plenty. The historic district alone is worth a day or two, with its 22 oak-shaded squares, River Street, Forsyth Park, and antebellum architecture. Wormsloe Historic Site has the famous 1.5-mile live-oak avenue, Bonaventure Cemetery is a striking Victorian landmark, and Fort Pulaski National Monument sits on the road to the beach. Tybee Island delivers sand and seafood, and the marshes around Skidaway are great for kayaking and birding. It is an easy place to fill several days without driving far from your campsite.

Is Savannah a good winter snowbird stop?

It is a solid one. Savannah sits right on I-95, the main snowbird corridor down the East Coast, so it makes a natural stopover between the Carolinas and Florida. Winters are mild, with highs often in the 60s, and all the area parks stay open year-round. The private resorts frequently offer better weekly and monthly rates in winter when demand softens between the fall and spring peaks. It is not a months-long desert-warm destination like south Florida or Arizona, but for a week or two it is a comfortable, scenic place to wait out the cold.

Do I need a tow vehicle to explore Savannah?

It helps a lot. The historic district is not RV-friendly, with narrow one-way streets, tight squares, and low oak branches, so you will want to leave the rig parked at your campground. A tow vehicle, daily-driver car, or rideshare makes getting downtown, out to Tybee Island, and around to the historic sites much easier. Some parks are close enough that a rideshare into the city is cheap, but if you plan to roam the coast and barrier islands, having your own smaller vehicle along will make the whole trip smoother and cheaper.

What are the best RV parks in Savannah, GA?
