Scenic spot, but be prepared for crowds. This campground stays bustling year-round, so if you're looking for solitude, this might not be the place. The campsites are pretty close together, less than 12 feet apart, so don't expect much privacy. There is a store on-site that provides small items such as tent stakes, toothbrushes, and bug spray if you forget something. All but 1 stall in the bathroom is out of order as of time of review.
I'll first state that I am usually a GA/SC State Park camper. This campground is apparently not affiliated with GA State Parks completely. I stayed for a week. Upon arrival, I considered this place a trailer court, not a campground. Packed in like sardines! Jekyll Island itself is incredibly beautiful, and the access to bike trails from the campground is convenient. The hosts at this campground are rude and do not acknowledge guests. So there really is no service other than during checkin. Bath house had one usable toilet out of 5 or 6. I do not recommend it!
We stayed at Jekyll Island Campground in April, 2023, and really enjoyed our stay there in our travel trailer. Our full hookup site was very spacious. The location was great and the whole island was great for enjoying nature. The bicycle trails, the beaches, and the hiking paths through woods were all very enjoyable. The little downtown area was also very nice for shopping and eating. The campground itself was very unique with its mature tree canopy and the Spanish Moss trees. The campground is very family oriented. We met many pleasant and polite campers there. The campground store and staff were also helpful. We highly recommend this campground and the island for a great vacation.
