| My
choice for my full hookup homebase for my first week of exploring
Savannah was KOA Savannah South. Then
I wanted to stay at Skidaway Island
and Fort McAllister State Parks.
Since I was staying in Savannah longer than a month, though, I wanted
to see some of the other full service parks. Following is a little
info on the ones I checked out, in the order of closest to downtown.
I have more pics than I had room for here, but if anyone is interested
in seeing more, I'd be glad to email them to you if you'll contact
me at Malia@MaliasMiles.com |

This
shows spots 34-37. Note that there are spaces directly behind
these (32-28) with no space or road inbetween. At first I
thought they were big pullthroughs and I'm not sure if the
back row backs in so they're facing the road or pulls up to
the rear of the RVs in front.

#17 and 18 back up to the woods, which I think is much nicer.

looked like a pretty nice park to me when I first drove in.
RVParkReviews.com had many nasty tales about the dreadful old
owners, but reviews of the new ones were much nicer. However,
I didn't feel particularly wanted when I went in to inquire
about a monthly stay at their park. I was told they didn't take
reservations and they had to see the RV first - they don't allow
RVs older than 10 years or those not in good shape. While I
understand and appreciate their not wanting a bunch of junky
neglected RVs there, and my motorhome would have qualified,
the attitude and the way they put it just didn't set right with
me. After driving around the park, I wasn't too impressed with
the roads or layout, either. I thought it was just me until
one of my neighbors said they had checked it out and felt the
same way and also preferred the KOA in general. Later I noticed
one of the reviews said they require reservations, so
check it out first. In thinking about it later, I think they
just don't allow reservations for monthly sites only. |

The office was closed when I visited, but this park is listed
in Trailer Life. It says they have pullthroughs, but I sure
didn't notice any. It also looked pretty difficult to maneuver
around in and as you can see, they're packed in pretty tight
together. |

to read the RV Park Reviews comments - doesn't look or sound
like a good deal to me. |

row above shows the rigs backed up to the lake. Some of the
more interior sites are better shaded, but most are pretty much
out in the open. |

| No
bad vibes here at all - the girl I talked to was really nice and helpful.
Basically, I just think it's not as convenient a location. I liked
being closer to grocery shopping, etc. in Richmond Hill and more shade
on my site in the summertime. |

I saw their sign from I-95 when I exited for Whispering Pines,
so I went ahead and checked it out. It was farther out in Rincon
and after the exit, the signs weren't very good, but I called
the office and found it. The guy was nice and said they do rent
to overnighters at $15/night, but it's mainly working long-termers
here. |
