April 12-16 Savannah GA

Skidaway Island State Park in Savannah has a gorgeous campground. The sites were private and huge.




On the first night we were told about Pearl’s Saltwater Grill and we became regulars.



This is the way we drove each night.


Here I am in the parking lot.

Our sightseeing (done on several days) included the Savannah History Museum , a walk on River street, touring two cemeteries, driving around the Isle of Hope with its fancy homes and spanish moss-draped streets, touring Fort Pulaski, and visiting the Nature Center at our campground.

As for wildlife, I was fascinated by the birds at Fort Pulaski and managed to snap this picture. Double click on it and look under the arch.




Ray in turn was fascinated by the squirrels at our campsite and decided to feed them grits. One especially enjoyed the treat--it attempted to break into the trailer!

  1. We are thinking of camping there at the end of April. How was the weather? We are from Ohio so we have no idea. Would you recommend it? Great blog!
