A Stop in Savannah...

When we left Pensacola, we visited Savannah on our way up to Wilmington. We stopped along I-10 at A Stone's Throw Campground for an overnight enroute to Savannah. It is right off the highway and advertises all pull thrus so one doesn't have to unhook. We were not impressed. Sites are overgrown and it's hard to tell where each one ends. We had a hard time finding one long enough for our forty foot fifth wheel and our F-450, but we did find one. The office is mostly unattended. You just pick out your site and put cash in a provided envelope...$28 with Good Sam. There is traffic noise, but we expect that when we stay right off the highway and don't mind it. The campground served its purpose, but we would probably look elsewhere next time.

After we left Savannah, we stayed overnight near Dillon, SC...in South of the Border Campground. South of the Border has been there since 1950 and has grown from a gas stop to a large compound and kitschy tourist trap. It is even listed on Roadside America's website! I'm not sure when the campground was added, but it is ideal for an overnight - long, level pull thrus, right off the highway. There are some amenities if you want them and they offer a Good Sam discount. We would stop again.

Savannah is a beautiful city, not unlike Wilmington, NC or Charleston, SC, but with its own flavor and style. I have been there several times, but it was a first visit for Jack. We stayed at Hardeeville RV in Hardeeville, SC. It is about eight miles to downtown Savannah, has nice roomy, level sites and is very reasonably priced with a Good Sam discount. It was ideal for our needs.


We only had two days in Savannah and couldn't see everything. We mostly wandered around River Street and enjoyed the views, the shops and the restaurants. We ate on a second story deck overlooking the river at Tubby's and at Barracuda Bob's, a new restaurant, where we had awesome Fried Green Tomatoes. Enjoyed both.

We will definitely go back for another visit as there is so much more to see!
