Jekyll Island Campground is on the island and is a wooded campground with lots of different type sites. It is a bit crowded during summer weekends, but shouldn't be bad at all in Jan/Feb. cost is a little higher than nearby state parks, but is on the island.
I planned to stay at Skidaway last Jan, but they were having water issues at the time and I had a non-Rving friend staying with me so chose not to deal with limited water. We ended up staying at Ft McAllister State Park.. it is a bit further from downtown Savannah.. but is still an easy access (just use I95).. it also seemed easier to manage getting to the park, since I didn't have to go through Savannah itself (main roads in Richmond Hill were 4 lane, until I got out within a couple of miles of park.. then that road went to park, nearby Marina and neighborhoods). Ft McAllister does have some narrow turns within the campground itself, but I managed in my Ext Cab PU and 28ft TT (even by myself)
Any of the parks along that area, be prepared if you are in a site open to the marshes, you can get a cold breeze coming from the marsh. We stayed in a mid-campground site and it was much warmer feeling and not to cold to sit out by the fire.
