State Parks in North Florida/South Georgia

Can anyone recommend a nice state park on the Atlantic Ocean anywhere from Jacksonville up to Savvannah Georgia. I will be pulling a 30 foot travel trailer.
  • I agree with the Fort Clinch suggestion!! There are some shady and sunny sites depending on your preference. I would suggest you check out the state's park list and try out the parks on your own. The parks I like you may not find as enjoyable.

    Crooked River State Park - right on the river above St Mary's and Kings Bay - very nice - although not 'modern' it has hook-ups .... some great hikes in thru the woods and along the river as well.

    Only a couple miles off I-95just above Florida Georgia border -

    X2 on Crooked River, we enjoyed the three nights we stayed there. I guess I'm in the minority, I hated Skidaway Island and will never go back. It's almost surrounded by a subdivision and unless you go downtown, the area is rough.

  • I'll vote for Skidaway Island also. Stopped to overnight there a couple years ago and ended up staying 3. Gary
  • Agree with everyone...Skidaway or Fort Clinch are both awesome. Little Talbot Island is also cool if you like more rustic style campgrounds, but it will be a little more difficult to get in with a 30 footer.
  • Fort Clinch is fantastic; river, beach, pier; but as stated you need to make your reservations well in advance.

    Some stay weekdays if you can make it fit your schedule.
