Cumberland Island

St. Marys, Georgia

Description

Beautiful Environment, Secluded, Peaceful, Easy Hike, Little Light Pollution, Gorgeous Sunset/Sunrise

Upon arriving at Saint Marys, Georgia, we made our way onto the ferry to get to the Island. The crew was nice and the ride was beautiful. When we got to the island, we were briefed by park rangers where our campsite assignments were and a few rules. We then began our 3.9 mile hike on the Parallel trail to our campsite (Stafford). Our campsite was located close to the beach so we made our way to the coast explored the beach. We saw armadillos and horses along the way. As night fell, we made a fire and relaxed under the stars on the beach. We then set up our hammocks and slept (No tent needed). The night was peaceful with the occasional noise in the woods. We then woke up promptly at 6:30 am to see the sun rise on the beach which was beautiful. We then hiked back to get on the ferry and return home.

Camp on Cumberland Island

Cumberland Island is surreal. Although a ferry ride is required from the mainland, it is well worth it. Hopping off of the short boat ride, you can feel that this place is something special. Live Oaks covered in Spanish Moss cover the entire island. Only a certain number of people are allowed on the National Seashore at a time so you never have to worry about overpopulated trails or campsites. ...

Fort Clinch

This fort was one of the last large brick forts finished in the 1800s. The fort was first established in 1847 and was almost complete when the Confederate army took control of the fort in 1860 but by 1862 it was back under Union control. The fort was then finished but left mostly empty. It was not until the Spanish-American war in 1898 that the fort was used again. In the 1930s the CCC rebuil...

Explore Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island

For the outdoors-minded, Jekyll Island’s biggest attraction may be its driftwood beach. Almost as if the driftwood rained down from the sky, the beach is littered with large trees and gnarly branches. The chaotic mess of driftwood can make the beach a maze to navigate, especially during high tide - but alas, you will see other like-minded individuals running along the beach hopping over fallen ...

Camp on Jekyll Island

Jekyll Island State Park has the only affordable camping option in the "Golden Isles" of Georgia so it was an easy pick for us, especially while Cumberland Island is still out of commission from Hurricane Irma. Arriving on the island you will notice it is quite developed around the entrance but don't be discouraged by this view as the campground is about 8 miles away from the bridge. Reserva...
