Campground on way to disney

I will be going to ft wilderness in August. Just looking for options for a nice overnight stop either in southern ga or northern fl off of 95 thanks.
  • If you plan to be there for only night time hours, then Coastal GA RV Resort is a good choice at Exit 29 of I-95 in GA. If you plan to be stopping in daylight hours, you might want to try Blythe Island Regional Park and Campground. There is no shade in Coastal GA RV Resort and August in Coastal GA is hot. Blythe Island is like a state park. Lots of shade, plus there's a lake and river if you like fishing. Also biking and hiking trails, playground, etc.

    The North Jacksonville KOA is also nice at Exit 3 of I-95 in Kingsland, GA. Yes, it is a KOA, but there are a decent amount of trees to offer shade.

    Brunswick, GA to the Fort is about 3.5 hours at the speed limit. Get on the road by 9 am and you'll have all day to spend at the Fort.

  • Cathead Creek Ranch RV - exit 49 off I-95 in Darien, GA, roughly 1/2 way between Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL. Just there in May. Easy in/out, pull-thru sites, not fancy, but clean and friendly, and less than $30/night. We'd go back again!
  • Coming from Maryland, we've stopped at a variety of places down I-95 on the way to Disney (we're Disney freaks, what can I say?):

    - Whispering Pines in Rincon, GA
    - Pecan RV Park in Jacksonville, FL - with our A/C running, the planes have never been a problem
    - Stagecoach RV in St. Augustine, FL

    I'd go back to any of them again. We've stayed at Pecan Park 3 or 4 times now. Use Passport America- it's not well advertised, but can save you a bunch of money there.
