Cat Head Creek RV Park
Overview
Cat Head Creek RV Park offers a peaceful, low-key retreat in the heart of Georgia's coastal marshlands. Located just off the beaten path, it provides a quiet escape for travelers seeking natural beauty and genuine Southern hospitality. This park is defined by its scenic creek views and intimate setting, making it an ideal base for exploring the rich history of the Altamaha River basin. It feels less like a standard commercial campground and more like a private sanctuary for weary road travelers.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Townsend, Georgia, the park rests directly along the banks of Cat Head Creek. The surrounding area is characterized by sweeping salt marshes and ancient moss-draped oaks that define the iconic Lowcountry landscape. It is conveniently located near Highway 17 and I-95, providing easy access for those passing through while maintaining a sense of total seclusion. The proximity to the historic city of Darien ensures that guests are never far from local flavor and the unique maritime heritage of McIntosh County.

The park provides essential comforts for a stress-free stay, prioritizing functionality and cleanliness for modern RVers. Key features include:
- Full hookup sites offering both 30 and 50-amp electricity.
- Level gravel pads designed for easy setup and long-term stability.
- On-site facilities including laundry and clean shower houses.
- Complementary Wi-Fi to keep travelers connected during their stay.
The highlight for many visitors is the direct access to the creek, which is perfect for launching a kayak or enjoying a quiet evening by the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, from fishing in the creek to visiting the Fort King George State Historic Site. A short drive leads to the charming waterfront of Darien, famous for its wild-caught Georgia shrimp and iconic bridge views. Nature lovers can take a short trip to catch the ferry to Sapelo Island or explore the various birding trails within the nearby wildlife refuges that dot the Georgia coastline. The area is a haven for those who enjoy slow-paced exploration and historical tours.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is perfect for nature photographers and birdwatchers who appreciate the quiet rhythms of the marsh.

If you are looking for a serene coastal stopover with authentic Georgia charm and plenty of space to breathe, this park fits your travel style perfectly.

Nice quaint spot. We stopped for the night and they made us feel right at home. The owner offered us fresh eggs and they provided us the WiFi credentials. There’s a gate at the front, very secure and also dog friendly. I’d stay again for sure. Thanks for the hospitality

I’m pretty bougie and this place is not, but I have never felt more welcome, safe or comfortable as I did at Cathead Creek. The owners are very kind and would do anything in the world to help make your stay the best it can be. I love it there and look forward to coming back.

Owners are wonderful people, they really give it the at home environment. Met the owners youngest son. Gotta say he was probably one of the most respectful 21yr Olds i have ever met. Good people, set up camp here for sure.

Just what we needed, when we needed it! We needed to evacuate WDW due to Hurricane Milton and decided to just head back to Baltimore. Cat Head Creek was convenient to I95, quiet and very accommodating. We arrived after hours and were greeted by the owner and her son who showed us to our campsite and even offered to help us set up. Although they offered restrooms, laundry and wifi, we were only overnighting and didn't take advantage of any of it. We DID take advantage of the night sky with no light pollution. It's been a long time since we've seen anything but the brightest stars and it was a wonder to behold! We took a quick walk around in the morning and enjoyed a lot of butterflies and a chat with the chickens and were then on our way. The campground is a work in progress, but the owners are working hard to get it ship shape and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very nice family owned RV park. Three miles from I-95. The most quite, peaceful place we've stayed in 3 months. We really liked Jekyll and Tybee Islands, well worth visiting. Thank you for your hospitality.
