Coastal Georgia RV Resort Review

ALL sites are 35 feet wide with 60-70 feet of length—genuinely spacious by any standard. We stayed in site #47 with our 38-foot Class A plus tow vehicle and had ample room on our concrete pad with space left over. The 35-foot width means you can set up awnings, camp chairs, and grills without feeling cramped or encroaching on neighbors. Most sites are pull-throughs, making entry/exit easy even for 40+ foot rigs. The generous site dimensions are what set this resort apart from typical campgrounds where 25-30 foot widths squeeze big rigs together. If you have a large motorhome or fifth wheel and value maneuvering room, Coastal Georgia's site sizing is among the best we've experienced in the Southeast.

The pool is REAL and well-maintained—not Olympic-sized, but large enough for lap swimming early mornings (6-9 AM before families arrive) and comfortable for 15-20 people during peak afternoon hours. Heated during cooler months (spring/fall), closed in winter (December-February). Surrounded by lounge chairs and a fence for safety. Cleaned daily—we saw staff skimming and checking chemicals each morning. It's not a resort waterpark with slides, but it's a legitimate pool for cooling off after beach days or doing morning laps. Kids enjoyed it daily during our April stay. If you expect lazy river/splash pad features, you'll be disappointed. If you want a clean, functional pool for swimming and relaxing, it delivers. Better than 70% of RV park pools we've stayed at nationwide.

The conference center has four rooms seating 18-200+ people, available for camper use (with advance reservation—check at front desk). We saw a group of extended-stay campers hosting a potluck dinner (60+ people) and RV club meetings (20-30 attendees). It's climate-controlled with tables/chairs, making it perfect for bad-weather gatherings, group dinners, or social events. Most campers use it during extended winter stays (snowbirds) for organized activities like bingo nights, card games, and community dinners. Short-term campers (1-7 nights) rarely use it unless traveling with groups. If you're staying a month+ or part of an RV club caravan, the conference center adds significant value for socializing and events. For weekend campers, it's a nice-to-have but not essential.

Base rate is $55/night, Good Sam members get 10% off = $49.50/night (saves $5.50/day or $38.50/week). Good Sam membership costs $29-39/year. If staying 6+ nights at Coastal Georgia, the discount pays for annual membership. We paid $346.50 for 7 nights with Good Sam vs. $385 without—$38.50 savings nearly covered our annual dues. Over multiple trips to Good Sam campgrounds, membership pays for itself quickly. If this is your only stop or you're staying just 2-3 nights, skip the membership and pay full rate. For frequent RV travelers or multi-week stays, Good Sam is worthwhile. Also provides roadside assistance, propane discounts, and savings at 2,000+ campgrounds nationwide.

Location is incredibly convenient for road trippers—1 mile from I-95 (exit 29), so you're off the highway and settled in 5 minutes. Perfect for breaking up long drives between Florida and the Northeast. The trade-off: you WILL hear highway noise. It's not deafening, but you'll notice truck jake brakes and traffic hum, especially from sites closest to the entrance (#1-30). Sites further back (#60-105) are quieter with more tree buffer. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs or white noise apps. We're heavy sleepers and slept fine, but noise-sensitive campers should request back sites when booking. The convenience of quick I-95 access is worth the background noise for overnight stops, but if you're staying a week+ and want peaceful nature sounds, Jekyll Island or Blythe Island offer quieter settings.

Coastal Georgia sits between budget and premium options: Jekyll Island Campground ($51-54/night) offers unbeatable natural beauty and walking access to Driftwood Beach but no pool/conference center. Blythe Island Regional Park ($52/night) provides excellent value with 1,100 acres, Lake Cindee, and fishing pier but more rustic feel. Coastal Georgia ($55/night with Good Sam $49.50) offers resort amenities (pool, conference center, 3 bathhouses, game room) and I-95 convenience, sacrificing some natural setting. Choose Jekyll for island experience, Blythe for nature/value, Coastal Georgia for amenities and easy highway access. We'd pick Coastal Georgia for 1-3 night road trip stops or extended winter stays where resort facilities matter. For week-long beach vacations, we'd choose Jekyll Island.

Concrete pads and patios are REAL and make a noticeable difference. The pad provides solid, level footing for your RV—no muddy/grassy ruts or sinking in rain (common at unpaved sites). The patio extension includes your picnic table and grill on concrete, creating an outdoor living space where you can set up camp chairs, coolers, and gear without tracking dirt/mud. During our April stay, it rained twice—we stayed completely dry and clean on our concrete patio while neighbors at grass-only campgrounds dealt with muddy messes. The grass strips between sites (planted with large shrubs) provide visual privacy while concrete keeps everything functional and clean. This is especially valuable for extended stays (weeks/months) where outdoor living space matters. Short-term campers benefit less, but it's still nicer than gravel or grass.

Yes, the lake offers freshwater fishing—mostly bass (largemouth), bream, and catfish. It's not trophy fishing, but decent for casual anglers and kids learning to fish. The dock provides easy access without boat launch hassle. We saw campers fishing daily (early mornings 6-8 AM and evenings 5-7 PM) with moderate success—2-4 fish caught during typical sessions. Paddle boats are available for exploring the lake (rental fees apply—check front desk for current pricing). This is recreational fishing, not destination angling. If you're a serious fisherman, drive 10 minutes to the South Brunswick River or Jekyll Island saltwater fishing for redfish/trout. If you want casual, convenient fishing while at camp, the lake works fine.

WiFi is FREE and included, with performance varying by location: sites near the office (#1-40) reported 15-25 Mbps consistently—adequate for video calls and streaming. Back sites (#70-105) saw 8-15 Mbps off-peak, dropping to 5-10 Mbps during evening peak (5-9 PM). We worked remotely for 4 days from site #47 with occasional slowdowns but generally reliable connectivity for Zoom meetings and file uploads. For serious remote work, test your site immediately upon arrival and request a move closer to office if needed. Cell signal is excellent (Verizon and AT&T both strong) for backup via hotspot. Cable TV works perfectly on all sites (included in price). Compared to many RV parks charging $10/day for WiFi, Coastal Georgia's included WiFi is a solid value even if not blazing fast.
