I suggest Skidaway Island State Park 12 miles from downtown Savannah, GA.  Site sizes are enormous, it is quiet and beautiful.  Convenient to I-95.  As I said only 12 miles to downtown Savannah.  Only 25 miles to Tybee Island.

Here is a review after our stay last Thanskgiving:

Spent the night of Nov. 23 thru noon on the 25th at the park in site #66.  Prior to going read dozens of reviews and most mentioned the size of the campsites.  Without a doubt they are the biggest I have seen.  I would say the average size is 80'x100' with some bigger.  All sites are pull thru.  Since the water and electrical is right beside the road, to take full advantage of the size of the sites you need a minimum of 50' of water line and 50' of electrical.  However, 25' of each will be plenty if you don't mind being close to the road.

70 sites have water and electrical hookups with 17 more also having sewer hookups. All but 13 of the sites had cable television hookups.  37 sites are 30amp max while the other 50 have 20/30/50amp hookups. The sites are grouped into 4 sections with a total of 3 bathhouses.  Our bathhouse in area #3 was pretty new. The men's side had a urinal, two commodes and two large showers.  The ladies had three commodes and two large showers.  A separate unisex handicap bathroom had a commode and shower.  They all were very clean.  All bathhouses also have washers and dryers to wash your clothes.  Normally, at this point I would tell you what sites to avoid and what sites to get.  I honestly did not see any bad sites and since you can not reserve a specific site, you have the opportunity to drive around and pick the site you want from what is available. 

The park itself has several trails that pass thru forests and along tidal saltwater marshes.  Along the trails you can observe Civil War fortifications in addition to lots of wildlife.  One of the trails leads to an observation tower.  The park is app. 12 miles from exit 94 on I-95 and also 12 miles from the Historic district of downtown Savannah and Paula Deen's Lady and Sons Restaurant.  Only 3 miles from the park is the Wormsloe State Historic Site for which you can get a $2 off admission coupon from the campground staff.  Even though the park is surrounded by housing developments, it was very quiet. 

If visiting Savannah(which you should be doing), I recommend you park at the Visitor's Center on MLK Blvd.  This building also houses the GA Museum of History; the Railroad Museum and Children's Museum are next door.  Parking on the weekend is free and during the week $7 per day or a 2-day pass can be purchased for  $12.  This is also the home base for all the sightseeing tours including the Old Towne Trolley, Olde Savannah, Blue line, Ghost tours.  It is also a departure point for the free DOT bus that will take you to most of the same stops the other tours that charge $12-$15 a person go to.  This is a deal and I recommend it.  You can always buy a guide book to get the history lesson.

This is a campground and park that I definitely recommend and will return to again. 

Well here's my two cents, so take it for what it's worth  😉

[li]We really love McKinney. Even with the humid weather, the shady sites made it so nice and comfortable - even for this pregnant mama. ;D However, something has got to give with their bathhouses. They're terrible - probably the worst we've seen. BUT, if you can overlook that, it really is a lovely CG that works really well for the rally. [/li]
[li]We will have a little one who will only be a few months old for the Spring Rally. We'd still like to try to attend, so I'd selfishly love to see the rally stay somewhere in North GA with a 2-3 hour drive max. Typically this rules out anything south of Atlanta since traffic is a booger![/li]
[li]The only weekends we're not available are April 11th and 18th - we already have plans for William's spring break. Also, as a side note, we probably want to avoid Spring Break like the plague. How do we feel about looking at something towards the end of March? Cooler weather and possibly less crowds?[/li]
[li]We tend to visit the same campgrounds over and over, so I don't have a lot of input here, but I will say that there are some lovely CGs around Lake Lanier. We've camped at River Forks which has a nice loop set up with bath house and playground in the middle. They are a county CG which means we can only book (typically) 30 days in advance, but they have expressed the ability to work with us in the past. They also have a beach area with volleyball and other playground/activities. And there is a shelter we may be able to use if we wanted. Another option at Lanier is Bolding Mill which we can book through Recreation.gov[/li]
[li]As far as a 3 day weekend goes... I'm not sure there is an option for that with us at least. William was able to take Friday off this time which was wonderful, but he really doesn't have any other holidays except Spring Break. However, he does have March 13th off. We could always try and do a St. Patty's Day rally ::)... any takers?? :dance:[/li]
[li]Lastly, price. For us, as long as it's roughly $30 or under then it's typically do-able. Much more than that begins to limit us when we consider gas, length of stay and days away from work. [/li]

Excited to hear feedback from others... and again, just my two cents!!

Forgot to post this.

I too like the looks Nancy, I am curious, how much a night? Miles, I hope you don't sell. I despised losing wonderful fellow campers!
I contacted Lookout Mtn./Chattanooga West KOA in Trenton, Ga., This camp ground had pretty good reviews and Chris and Michele has stayed there with really good comments. I am waiting on a call back from the owner for a quote on a rally price. Right now for a single camper to stay a night ranges $40-45 a nigh. If a KOA Member a 10% discount. This gives a bunch of different opportunities in Chattanooga area to explore.
I propose maybe the weekend of May15-17th,2015. We have been having the fall rally the weekend after Labor day, How about the weekend before Memorial Day weekend?

I see a PA. group rally already planned and dated for July 17-18, 2015. Now that is planning ahead!

Miles don't sell.  We missed ya'll the last couple of rallies.

I like the looks of River Country.  Looks like a great place for kids of all ages.  Good/excellent reviews on http://www.rvparkreviews.com/v.....Campground

Reported $40/night.

Another option might be Fort Yargo in Winder Ga

Amanda that is great about William's new truck! That is a good move toward a new camper.

Here's my suggestions for the next rally:

Let's make it a summer rally, maybe after school is out....or maybe Memorial day weekend.  Folks may be able to stay a day or two longer, not having to feel rushed from work to get there and rush home on Sunday. Might make for a bit more relaxing time.

Aside from River country campground in Gadsden there is also....

On Westpoint Lake, which is on the south west border of Georgia, south east border of Alabama, there are 4 campgrounds.  One has been suggested is Schaffer herd.

Then there's....Holiday CG, opens 03/26/15
Whitetail Ridge, opens 3/6/15, loop area sites #11 through #25
Amity (on the Alabama side), opens 04/22/15

And Gunter Hill CG near Montgomery, AL,  open year round.  The Catoma loop has been completely revamped to include full hookups.

All of the above are Corp of Engineers campgrounds.

I've been watching, but I'll refrain from offering a site since it's sketchy if we could go anyway.  I know that sounds funny, but it's a matter of advance planning.  She is in school all but common holidays and those are the worst times for you guys to plan a rally.  Aside from normal holidays, we're spur-of-the-moment weekend campers and unless it's just "down the road a bit" we'd be pulling in late on Friday and leaving Sunday morning.  So I'll watch for now.

Melinda, we love Georgia's State Parks, but they don't let you reserve individual sites, or even a large loop, so getting everyone packed in together for a rally would be difficult.  But I DO love our State Parks.

Just for future reference; when you guys decide when/where, can you please edit one of the original posts so we don't have to read through 4 or 5 pages to know what you all settled on in the end? 

Thanks,
Belch
