Best time to visit Skidaway Island State Park
Spring (March through May) and fall (October through November) are the most comfortable months for RV travel, with mild temperatures, lower humidity, and active wildlife along the marsh trails. Summer is hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and heavy mosquito activity, though the campground pool and shaded loops help offset the heat. Winter is mild and quieter, making it a solid shoulder season for snowbirds heading to or from Florida. Reservations fill quickly around spring break and major holidays, so book early for peak weekends.

- Geocaching and Junior Ranger Program EasyRV parking available
Skidaway offers an on-site geocaching course and Junior Ranger activities that cover coastal ecology, wildlife identification, and local history. Families can pick up materials at the visitor center. Activities are self-guided and spread across the main trail network.
- Day Trip to Wormsloe Historic Site Easy
Wormsloe Historic Site sits about 7 miles from the park and features a famous 1.5-mile oak avenue, tabby ruins, and a colonial life demonstration area. It is an easy drive for RVers basing at Skidaway, though visitors typically use a tow vehicle since on-site parking suits cars best. Allow two to three hours for a full visit.

The UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium is located adjacent to the park and showcases coastal Georgia marine life in 14 tanks plus a touch tank. It is a short drive or bike ride from the campground. The facility is especially popular with families on rainy days.

Tybee Island beaches, lighthouse, and pier sit about 30 minutes from the park via Savannah. The drive is flat and RV-accessible, though beachside parking is limited for large rigs. Many campers leave the RV at Skidaway and take a tow vehicle for the day.

How to get to Skidaway Island State Park
The park is roughly 15 miles (about 25 minutes) southeast of downtown Savannah via Diamond Causeway, and about 20 miles from Tybee Island. Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) is the closest airport, approximately 30 miles north, and is convenient for fly-and-rent RV trips. Access is straightforward on flat coastal roads with no mountain grades or tunnels, but the Diamond Causeway includes the Skidaway Narrows Bridge, a fixed span that larger rigs should approach at posted speeds. RVers coming from I-95 typically exit at Savannah and follow Whitefield Avenue and Diamond Causeway directly to the park entrance.
