I-95 Stopover South Ga. / North Fla.

I know this has been asked before but I haven't seen it in awhile.

We're headed back to the Fort in December after over eight years away. Our tradition is to run down to southern Ga. and overnight. That way we can head out again the next morning and be at the Fort around lunchtime.

We've stayed at McIntosh Lake before and also Country Oaks. Both of these campgrounds are in south Georgia. Not that we mind staying in the same place again but sometimes its nice to just change things up. Plus there may be a better place to overnight. We really don't want to stay at a Flying J or Wal-Mart. That's not for us.

I hear the Jacksonville North / St. Mary's KOA is a nice stop. The website says $50 for the cheapest 50A spot. I can do that but its a little pricier than I assumed for an overnighter in early December.

Any other places nearby? Thanks.

The airport traffic is the reason we'll never stay there ever again. Planes go right overhead and very low. There is a nice flea market next door.

Crooked River is great but it's an excursion off I-95.

While you are there, go into St Mary's and eat at St Mary's Seafood. It looks like a dive bar, but the best seafood on the lower coast.


Not only is there food real good, but the prices are very reasonable and the deserts are out of this world.

Crooked River State Park is very nice and quiet. If you are lucky enough you can grab one of the few river front sites and have superb views. Only thing wrong is it is about 10-15 minutes off the interstate and same back on.

Well, thanks to everyone. At least I know to drop close to $50 for this stop. In 2006, McIntosh lake was $25. Can't recall what Country Oaks was. But that was ten years ago.

Its Disneyworld. Nobody expects to go and do things too cheap anyway. ๐Ÿ™‚

Jayco304. That's exactly the plan. Leaving Friday, the 9th. Plan to be at the Fort by noon on Saturday and make supper around 6:00 at San Angel Inn. :B

We stop frequently at Walk-About. Georgia Exit 7 (Harriet's Bluff Rd)

We didn't camp at Crooked River State Park in St Mary's/ Kingsland but we did hike there. Looked like a nice place.

Kiki Rv park at Cracker Barrel exit in Kingsland. They used to be Passport America, not sure now. Check in at motel. Nice long pull thru's. Pads on the narrow side, but nice stopover.

Crooked River State Park is out that way, too.

X3 for Pecan Park... We stop there each year on our way to the Fort or the Keys . . I do believe that it is right around $50.00 or just under

X2, nice place and close to I95. Some of the roads are a little tight but entirely doable.
