Finding RV Parks in Georgia…

1

We enjoyed our brief stay in Walterboro South Carolina but needed to move on south. I was hoping we could extend at Colleton State Park but that didn’t work out. We still have four nights to fill before our reservation at Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach in Florida.

As a result I had some planning to do. So my first place to look was on the Passport America site to see what was close by and I found a couple of prospects. First was the Southern Retreat RV Park in Brunswick, Georgia. We have stayed there before but it was called Golden Isles RV Park then.

Looking on the details on Passport America about the park it said they only honored Passport America rates Monday through Thursday. Golden Isles did the same but always let us stay through a weekend at the same rate when asked. We tried that with the new owners only to learn that things had changed and stays are limited to only one night on the PA rate. Well shucks!!!

I searched the  PA website again and found Walkabout RV Park a little further south in Woodbine, Georgia. We have also stayed there before but the last time we called they said that the sites they had available at the PA rate were full. With fingers crossed we called to inquire and found out they had availability for the weekend so we quickly booked Friday and Saturday nights.

Then we called Southern Retreat RV Park back up and booked Wednesday and Thursday. SO we ended up with two nights at 50% off due to PA and paid for one full night. We packed up, hit the road and pulled into Southern Retreat RV Park a few hours later.

We went touring one day while we were there and revisited some places we have been to before such as St. Simon’s Island, Fort Frederica and stopped at the Tipsy McSways in Brunswick for happy hour. It was as enjoyable this time around revisiting these sites as it was the first time we visited.

NOTE:  We are now at Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area in Florida for five nights.

  1. Glad that you did not have to get desperate and stay at Anastasia State Park around St. Augustine. The only decent high lots in that park are sized for pop up campers. When we parked in lower and larger lots, we had to get out of there quick as a bad thunderstorm was filling up the lot with water; the ground had already been saturated. The park ranger sympathized with us and gave us our money back.

    1. Good to know, as we have never stayed there but I often look for availability there...
