REVIEW Golden Isles RV Park Georgia

Even though we have moved North to Georgia it's still hot so we chose to find a Passport America site tonight to make use of the pool and cool off.

We stayed at Golden Isles Rv Park located at 7445 Blythe Island Hwy in Brunswick Georgia.

Value 4/5
We paid $16 for the night with our Passport America membership so at that price it was OK.

Site Quality 3.5/5
Our site was a level dirt driveway. It was exactly 56' and we fit exactly into it with no room to spare. We had no neighbours for our stay but they would have been a bit close if the site next to us was occupied. Full hook ups and picnic table. Free cable and Wifi available at site.

Facility Fun 4/5
There was an old playground which the girls did make use of (and enjoyed) but I personally wouldn't advertise that playground as a positive for the RV park. It would be better as a bonus upon arrival then a draw to come to the park. There was a pool open 10am to 7 pm. It was a small pool but we had it to ourselves most of the time we were in it. It was nice and refreshing in the heat :) All sites have free cable and free wifi. There is a restaurant on site (we didn't eat at it) and I read that they also rent movies if you want. There is a covered area available for barbeques and get togethers. Laundry available at $1.50 a load.

Natural Surroundings 3.5/5
There are many shade trees throughout the park, grass was in need of a cut.

Bathrooms 3/5
They were fairly clean but felt like they needed a revamp. Showers are available as well.

Staff 4/5
Very friendly upon arrival. Ian asked later in the evening if they could print something for him that we need to fax back home and they said no :(

Location 4/5
Easy to get to off of I 95. Their website lists them as being close to Beaches, piers, fishing, Golden Isle Speedway, shopping, Jekyll Island, Casinos, horseback riding and more. We used this as only a stop over and didn't do any exploring.

Overal 3.5/5
This was OK for a night stop over and in the heat the pool even though small was worth paying for at the Passport America price. The park overal felt a bit outdated and needs a new facelift. The playground although usable really shouldn't be a draw to the park if you have kids. It was old peices of equipment that should be replaced.

I forgot to take a picture of us on location...duhhhh!

Main office, restaurant and pool is to your right.

Map of the park. We were in space #10...which I didn't take a picture of???

The old and outdated playground...the girls still had fun on it.

The pool, small but very refreshing :)

Lunch at the beach and then onto Georgia

We had planned on visiting Cocoa beach after leaving Disney World but our hopes to stay at Ian's grandparents condo fell through so we decided to just head North towards Nova Scoatia early.

We left the forest and drove towards the coast in search of the beach. Most of the beach front is private with the occasional public entrance. We found ample parking along the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National  Estuarine Research Reserve and stopped at the North Beach. We lathered on the sunscreen, had lunch and hit the waves. Surprisingly this Atlantic Ocean water was still South enough to be warm.






After some waves, some swimming, some sand playing and some shell collecting we headed further North to Georgia to an RV park for the night.
