Camping: Skidaway State Park near Savannah, GA

We met our friends Marc and Barbara down at Skidaway State Park near Savannah, GA for a couple nights of mid-week camping just after New Years.  They also had a new trailer, and were testing it out for the first time. It’s a good thing Georgia grabbed the land for this park when they could, because suburban Savannah pretty much surrounds it now - not that you’d know it while camping there.

Lots of good trails right in the park, some wooded, some along the estuaries.  Plenty of birding action, from eagles to owls.  Marc and I brought our gravel bikes and explored some easy single track MTB trails nearby.


The next day we checked out Savannah, hitting up the Bonaventure Cemetery (featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) in the morning.  Lots of great photo ops - many statues of thinking ladies, under challenging lighting conditions.  After lunch, we wandered around downtown Savannah in a somewhat random fashion, enjoying the architecture, the waterfront, and the various parks and squares.
