Why Jekyll Island Campground

Jekyll Island Campground at first look made us feel like we were in the Adirondacks. The pine trees, the roomy sites, the raccoons, the birds, …..The Spanish Moss on the trees reminded us we weren’t in the mountains in August. The sunsets, the ocean, the ships all add to the atmosphere here at Jekyll Island. But what really makes this place different is the community atmosphere. There are weekly covered dish dinners, golf outings, trips to restaurants,and area attractions. There are men’s get togethers and weekly ladies crafting afternoons. There are monthly pancake breakfasts. The other night we experienced our first campfire/hotdog roast. It rained but that didn’t stop anything- people just went over to the tent to eat and then came back when the rain let up for the bonfire. There was entertainment as well - three men with guitars and a banjo (and a singing wife) played for hours. (They’d been practicing at the campsite next door so we recognized a couple of the country western tunes.)
The problem is the campground is practically full. We’re hoping to come back next winter but time will tell if there’s a place not already reserved.
