This review is for the Crooked River State Park campground. Nice clean campground. Clean bathhouse and toilets. Large pull-through camping spot #39 on river. The pull through lots are $6/night more than back-in lots but much bigger with more privacy between lots. Go for the pull thru spots if you can. Spent 3 nights, touring Jekyll Island and St Simons, along with St. Marys. Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island was interesting and worth a visit. Tried to go to Cumberland Island but US Park Service will not allow dogs on the Ferry although dogs are allowed on Cumberland Island.

Lovely and peaceful state park not far from St. Mary's (access to Cumberland Island National Seashore). We stayed in a cabin that was, basically, a well-equipped house. Campground looked good too.

Terrific experience hiking the trails. Well-blazed trails are well-maintained and quite scenic. Variety too! The park staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the hike in cooler weather. Thoreau would savor this place.

This review is for CRSP Cottage 10, a 2 bedroom, 4 bed, 1 bath, pet friendly house down a quiet road within the park. The park staff at the gift shop were very kind and engaged. They collected our balance and $50.00 pet fee there. Not all cottages are pet friendly. Cottage 10 is…so plan ahead! Despite that, there was 0 smell when we entered the cottage. It was very clean! Exceptional view of Crooked River! Our family of four loved s’mores under the stars and twisted coastal trees. There is a jumbo picnic table and fire pit. Carrying meals out was no issue and so much less exhausting than cooking on the Coleman stove and dealing with gear and tents. That’s also a fun experience, but coming back to AC and a private bathroom after a full day of hiking Cumberland Island is worth the nightly price tag. One day it poured. We comfortably watched the storm from the cozy screened-in porch. The kitchen is well stocked, minus a cutting board. No biggie. Made do. I always travel with a reliable and sharpened kitchen knife, kitchen scissors, and my trusty cast iron pan. But I was surprised to find supplies at the cottage like paper towels, toilet paper, and dish washer pods. The beds are comfortable and the linens and towels are clean and plentiful. It was a great experience and we would love to return.
