We walked the grounds and toured the fort. So much history to learn about. We also stayed at the campground where most sites are spacious, shower house clean and even had a laundry room! Trails were easy but nice, geocache.

GREAT state park! We camped here at their Savage Island campground for two weeks in January ‘26. Clean warm bath house, everywhere is dog friendly, short trails to wander, and a fishing pier. Sites 19-22 have the most sun exposure, great for a Starlink and solar. All else are very shaded. Spacious sites, and easy to navigate.

Well preserved state park. There is a small fee to see the fort itself and battlements as well as museum exhibits both are not very large but you can take your time strolling through and imagining a union iron clad sinking a Confederate blockade runner just off the inlet. The surrounding area has room for camping and more natural area worth seeing.

Fantastic option for those exploring Savannah and local wildlife! Gorgeous park with lots of wildlife and places to walk. The cabins are truly impressive (sorry, I totally didnt take a photo)! No wifi, so plan for that.
