brunswick Ga

Just to add a good word for Blythe Island, Skidmore at Savannah, and James Island at Charleston.

A good word based on good experience in each place.

We are at Blythe Island now. It is rather unique for a public park in that the sites are full hookup with cable TV and free Wifi. They have a laundry and sell propane. It is becoming very popular as it gets mentioned more and more often on RV forums. Last year it was booked solid for the month of March by the time we called. There seem to be some vacancies now. Bring bug repellant, the gnats are coming out with the warm weather and are pretty fierce if there is not a breeze.

In Brunswick, I'd recommend Blythe Island Regional Park and Campground if you like state park camping or Coastal GA RV Resort if you prefer resorts. If you plan to visit Jekyll Island, there is a campground on the island.

Don't miss Savannah - you will be so close! Skidaway State Park is close, but the closest RV park is Red Gate Farm RV Park. $10 Uber ride to Bay Street in Savannah (where you want to go!) So much to see and do! GREAT restaurants too, our favorite is The Pink House. Check out St Bonaventure's Cemetery. We also love Charleston as well. So much history. If you go there, take a carriage ride! Visit the market place in the center of the historic area. Don't forget to go to visitors center and take boat to Ft. Sumter. Great walking tours available too! About 2 hours of leisurely walk with great guides available. Been on several, but the best was led by ED Grimball. Prices are all just about the same but he is native born and LOVES his city! So knowledgeable and perfect pace for us (both over 65!) We stay at Oak Plantation RV Park (south of the city) and Charleston/Mt Pleasant KOA north of Charleston. Also in Mt. Pleasant is Patriot's Point, WW II Naval Museum with ships to tour.
Don't miss Ashville if you get anywhere close! Combination college town/tourist area/history destination. Biltmore is incredible,and it may be the BrewPub capital of the country. Whole Black Mountain region is awesome. Numerous RV Parks there. We have stayed at a park in Rutledge, just south of Ashville.

If you haven't toured them Savannah Ga and Charleston SC are wonderful destinations in their own right. Savannah's waterfront has a series of restored old warehouse buildings converted to nice restaurants and night spots, the Cemetary in the town center is a fascinating walk, along with huge old spanish moss draped trees, the tombstones tell interesting stories, many outlining things like epidemics and wartime heroes. There is also a nighttime carriage ride through the town, retelling many of its old ghost stories. Charleston has a large area that has also been restored to show life from the Antebellum era, with many tours and museums.
Santee State park in SC is right on I 95 also offering a beautiful place to stop for an overnight break.

Add on,,, If you are switching off 95 to go through Asheville. Dont miss Mount Mitchell (Highest spot east of the Mississippi, and The Biltmore Estate.

Being a nc native myself I can say. if you can travel thru western nc you won't be disappointed. Asheville is in itself a destination. Their motto is altitude changes attitude. Very laid back serene place to visit.

would like to continue up I95 north far enough to get away from atlanta.

At the nearest point, Atlanta is about 250 miles and 4 hours from I-95. "Getting away from Atlanta" should NOT be a problem.
