Sea Camp Campground

My partner and I scheduled a 4 night camping reservation at Sea Camp (site 6) from June 26-30, 2024 and brought our own bikes. We confirmed our reservation back in Jan/Feb of the same year. I've been to the island for a day-trip in the past but hadn't camped overnight until now. The visit was magical... very HOT... and featured daily thunderstorms! We appreciated that the mosquitoes weren't bad at all, but left thinking that we would like to come back in March or October to experience a more moderate range of temperatures. The trip up to Plum Orchard for the mansion tour was interesting but not really worth the 18 mile roundtrip bike ride. I'd recommend it only for those who are particularly fascinated with historical homes and furnishings. One of my highlights was getting a glimpse of two white deer! It felt like encountering unicorns! Also, we would recommend having a second tent or shade structure for the beach. In the future, I would set that up so I could enjoy longer visits by the ocean without sunburn. Early morning and early evening when the sun is low in the sky is such a nice time to walk along the surf. You will almost always find the island's wild horses on the beach at those hours.

What a stunning place Cumberland Island is! Seacamp is a nice family friendly Campground that is convenient across from the ferry dock. When you stay at Sea Camp you can buy ice and firewood from the ferry . You can also bring bikes, coolers and carts to your camp spot. A great family vacation spots with lots of opportunities to view wildlife and hike

We had one hell of a weather weekend but survived again!!! For some reason the horses were nowhere to be found and neither were the raccoons.

A must day trip or camping place to be.. had fun walking through the mix of woods, ruins, white sand, dunes and beach view and horses on the beach was cherry on the cake. Absolutely worth it. Only access to this island is getting on on a ferry from St. Marys.

The island itself is gorgeous and clean. The main issue are the rangers and the park service. The rangers themselves were extremely rude and inconsiderate of the visitors. Many of them lied about the water and restroom availability on the island.

Good location lots of shade not too far from the bathhouse not much more to say other than it is backpack it in backpack it out camping

We didn't camp in here, it must be quite adventurous. Showers and restrooms are not for the faint of heart, lots of insects crawling around. Those trees with Spanish moss are just breathtaking!

The scenery is beautiful and the beach just a fairly short walk away down flat paths and a boardwalk. The campsites have several picnic tables and bear boxes, as well as a couple of gear poles for hanging packs. There are plenty of good locations for both tents and hammocks, and the huge twisty branches of the oak trees make it easy to tie up tarps over the picnic tables. The bathhouse was in good condition and clean, and provided a source of filtered water and outlets for charging electronics. As someone who usually prefers primative camping, this was far more luxury then I was expecting, but made camping over the Labor Day weekend with a small group a delight. Make sure to keep your food in the bear boxes, because the raccoons are determined and clever. And if a horse wanderers into your campsite, just let him graze. We named him Steve McQueen Carnegie III, and he won't bother you as long as you keep your distance.
