County Park
Blythe Island Regional Park
Brunswick, Georgia · (312 reviews)
After seven nights here in early spring, I’d point any budget-minded RVer heading to the Georgia coast straight at Blythe Island. This is a county-run park on 1,100 acres, and it gives you maybe 90% of what a private resort delivers — full hookups, cable, real privacy — without the resort markup. You camp among trees, not in a striped lot, and you’re a short drive from the Golden Isles beaches around Brunswick.
Is Blythe Island the best value in the Brunswick area?
Yes — for full hookups with genuine space and privacy, nothing in the area beats it on price. The park spreads 97 sites across 1,100 acres, so nobody feels crammed. Sites come with concrete pads, 30/50-amp power, water, sewer, cable TV, a fire ring, and a picnic table, and they’re separated by mature oaks, palmettos, and brush that actually screen you from neighbors. During our stay on an interior back-in, we couldn’t see into the sites on either side despite being 30-odd feet away.
What does a site cost, and does that price hold?
When we researched this in July 2026, rates ran a flat $52/night for every full-hookup site — but county pricing moves, so read that as a snapshot, not a promise. There’s no pull-through premium here, which is unusual:
| Site type | Approx. rate (as of July 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full-Hookup Pull-Through | ~$52 | Fits big rigs (40+ ft), water/electric/sewer/cable, concrete pad |
| Full-Hookup Back-In | ~$52 | Same hookups, deeper tree buffers on interior loops |
That flat rate ran us $364 for the week — roughly $100-plus under comparable private parks nearby. Weekly and monthly discounts may exist, so ask when you call. See our RV rental cost guide for how a nightly rate folds into a whole-trip budget.
Which site should you request?
Ask for an interior back-in if you want privacy, a pull-through if you want easy access — the price is identical either way.
- For privacy: interior back-in loops have the deepest tree buffers.
- For big rigs or short stops: pull-throughs take 40+ feet and save you the backing-in.
- For remote work: sites closer to the office and bathhouse pull slightly stronger WiFi (we saw 10-18 Mbps mid-park).
Who is it best for?
Budget-conscious campers who want nature and privacy over concierge service. You get Lake Cindee for swimming and freshwater fishing, the Clarence Hilburn pier for saltwater fishing, nature and bike trails, and a genuinely good accessible playground (opened Spring 2024). What you give up is resort polish — no on-site restaurant, no resort pool, and the office closes Tuesdays and Sundays. If you’d rather want an amenity-heavy resort, Coastal Georgia RV Resort is the trade; for the barrier-island experience, Jekyll Island Campground is worth the hop.
Bottom line
If you’re touring coastal Georgia by RV and value fair pricing, space, and privacy, Blythe Island is the base camp. Book an interior back-in for quiet or a pull-through for ease, treat the posted rate as a moving target, and use the on-site lake and pier while day-tripping the Golden Isles beaches 10-12 miles east.
Which sites to request
- Ask for a back-in on the interior loops — the deeper tree buffers give you real screening from neighbors, and they cost the same as everything else.
- If you're in a big rig (40+ ft) or just want an easy in-and-out, take a pull-through; it's the same flat rate as a back-in, no pull-through premium.
- Sites nearer the office and bathhouse pull slightly stronger WiFi if you need to get work done.
Pros
- Flat nightly rate with full hookups plus cable TV — one of the best-value stays in the Golden Isles
- 1,100-acre park with genuine tree separation between sites, not a paved lot
- Lake Cindee swimming plus a saltwater fishing pier on the South Brunswick River, both on-site
Cons
- County-run means fewer resort touches — no on-site restaurant, no resort pool, office closed Tuesdays and Sundays
- Lake water is tannin-stained and murky (safe, but not the clear-blue some expect)
- You're 10-12 miles from the ocean beaches on Jekyll and St. Simons

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Blythe Island Regional Park cost per night?
When we researched this in July 2026, the park held a flat $52/night for all full-hookup sites — no pull-through premium, and that rate includes water, electric, sewer, and cable TV. County pricing moves, so treat that as a research-date snapshot and confirm the live number when you book. Weekly and monthly discounts may be available; call the park to ask.
Do pull-through and back-in sites cost the same?
Yes. Unlike most private parks that add $5-15 for a pull-through, Blythe Island charges the same flat rate for every full-hookup site. The pull-throughs are long enough for big rigs (40+ feet), so choose based on whether you value easy access (pull-through) or a deeper tree buffer for privacy (interior back-ins).
How private are the sites?
Better than a typical RV lot. Sites sit on a 1,100-acre park and are separated by mature trees, palmettos, and native brush that give you real visual screening. Interior back-in loops have the deepest tree buffers. You'll still hear a loud neighbor, but you won't feel parked in their living room.
Can you swim and fish at the park?
Both, on-site. Lake Cindee has a designated freshwater swimming area (tannin-stained and murky, but safe and kid-friendly) plus bass, bream, and catfish. The Clarence Hilburn fishing pier on the South Brunswick River is a few minutes away and holds saltwater species — redfish, spotted seatrout, flounder, sheepshead — best on a moving tide.
What are the office hours and gate situation?
The office runs Monday through Saturday but is closed Tuesdays and Sundays. The entrance gate locks automatically in the evening, and registered campers get a personal gate code for 24-hour access. If you're arriving on a closed day or after hours, call ahead so they can assign your site and leave instructions.
How far is it to Jekyll Island and the beaches?
Jekyll Island is about 12 miles (20 minutes) and St. Simons Island about 10 miles (18 minutes), so the barrier-island beaches are an easy day trip while you camp in a quieter inland setting. Downtown Brunswick is roughly 8 miles.
