The Trip to Jekyll Island, Georgia

June 2, 3024

On May 1 (Wednesday), we hitched up the RV to the truck and pulled out of Lake Tobesofkee Claystone Park.

We took a state highway through Macon, Georgia to get to I-16.

At Montrose, Georgia, the sides of the road turned swampy. I noticed native Southern Blue Flag Iris blooming in large clumps or colonies in swamp.

As we rolled down the road, I looked back to check on Nox. She was sound asleep in the sun.

As we headed down I-16, I enjoyed looking at the scenery. Just outside of Savannah, Georgia, we drove onto I-95 South.

We stopped at the Brunswick rest area. There was a bus load of students who didn’t seem to understand you shouldn’t walk in front of large vehicles.

We continued from the rest stop to our exit to US 17. From US 17, we took the causeway to Jekyll Island.

We rounded the roundabout onto Beachview Drive and drove past the beaches to the campground.

We turned into the campground, stopped at the office for paperwork and headed down the narrow roads under the Spanish moss draped trees to our campsite.

We got set up and headed over to my father-in-law’s house.

  1. Hi Julia, We are thinking of stopping at Jekyll Island. Give me some info on the toll booth and the campground. I read some reviews and some were not good. This is Linda from Glampinginmyrv. I ended that blog due to the annual cost and started a new blog.

    1. The parking fee is $15 for a day for vehicles over 8 feet. If you don’t leave the Island, it is a good deal. If you leave the Island a lot, then the $100 annual pass may be best.

      The campground is sand and dirt. We tracked in leaves all the time. Insects were a problem. The sites are close together. I would recommend Blythe Island regional campground instead of Jekyll.
