This RV Park Is Near Beloved Georgia Islands That Are Perfect For A Nature Escape

Nestled in the heart of Georgia's stunning Golden Isles, the Southern Retreat RV Park offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure surrounded by lush wetlands and sparkling coastlines. A family-friendly campground that caters to nature enthusiasts and road trippers alike, Southern Retreat is the perfect home base for travelers hoping to explore some of the region's most impressive waterside landscapes. So whether you're planning a quick overnight stay on your coast-to-coast Southern road trip or an extended vacation, you'll have everything you need for a memorable (and comfortable) experience.

Located just a stone's throw away from some of Georgia's most iconic coastal destinations — including Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, and the historic city of Brunswick — Southern Retreat RV Park throws you smack dab in the middle of a coastal natural playground. With a convenient location just off I-95 — the longest north-south interstate in the United States — parking up and heading out while staying at Southern Retreat means you're never too far from the best of Georgia's fishing spots, natural swimming holes, and scenic trails to keep you busy and moving.

In true Southern hospitality fashion, Southern Retreat RV Park goes above and beyond to ensure that all of its guests enjoy a comfortable stay no matter how they travel. In terms of accommodation, the park offers full hook-up, pull-through sites that can accommodate even the largest RVs — with some spots stretching up to 90 feet long. On top of that, each site is equipped with a series of useful conveniences, including access to water and sewer connections, 30/50 amp electrical service, Wi-Fi, and cable television. For travelers looking to rough it, Southern Retreat also boasts primitive and electric tent sites available for rent. Craving more comfort? The park also offers cabins — sleeping up to six people — that are perfect for a little more luxury without straying too far from nature.

As for amenities, there's something for everyone (and we mean everyone). While kids can enjoy access to an on-site playground, parents are more than welcome to relax at the pool (kids are also welcome). And if you're traveling with your pet in an RV, it will delight you to know that Southern Retreat is happy to host pets of all sizes, and species. Plus, with access to a fenced-in, off-leash dog park, a dedicated dog walk area, and even a pet spa, your furry friends won't feel left out during their stay.

Lastly, other noteworthy features include covered pavilions with picnic tables, grills, and firepits — all of which are perfect for getting together with your travel group, or meeting other travelers staying at the campground — and a newly-added pub and grill that serves up everything from burgers to pizza, seafood specialties, and mouthwatering desserts.

Using Southern Retreat RV Park as your base camp opens up a world of opportunities to explore and experience the best of the Golden Isles — which makes for a pretty relaxing getaway, even during the winter months. For starters, Jekyll Island is just a short drive away. One of Georgia's barrier islands, the destination offers miles of pristine beaches, scenic bike trails through maritime forests, and easy access to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center — a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and curious kids alike.

Other nearby highlights include St. Simons Island — which boasts beautiful unspoiled beaches, historic lighthouses surrounded by lush landscapes, and nature trails perfect for bird watching. Then, there's Brunswick. While mostly known for its historic charm, the city also offers access to natural attractions like the Blythe Island Regional Park, where you can hike, fish, and come up close and personal with local wildlife in their natural habitat. Additional destinations that you can't miss include Sea Island and Little St. Simons Island, both of which are brimming with even more opportunities to get outside, disconnect in nature, and catch a glimpse of the local wildlife.

Back at Southern Retreat RV Park, jet ski and pontoon rentals are also available for guests who want to soak up even more of the region's coastal ecosystem. These options are a great way for thrill-seekers and explorers to ride off in style and enjoy a day of island hopping, while venturing through the more than 100 waterways and inlets nearby.
