State park in Georgia. Pay to see fort then the parking is free. Good site and well run by the park officials. Nice museum and film included. Small gift shop.
Loved the playground. My grandchildren like playing there. It's great for a small little family picnic for lunch....and then running around and playing with the grandkids. Love the cooler weather too.
Just spent $9 looking at mounds of grass-covered dirt, a few cannons & reproduction buildings. The largest & probably most interesting building was locked & the open ones were smaller than a backyard toolshed. It is probably worthwhile during special event demonstrations or reenactments, but should be free otherwise. I've seen more interesting Indian mounds & cannons in city parks than this, so I give it my America's lowest value per dollar award ever.
Most enjoyable State Park I have stayed out on my trip so far. I started in Maine and if not walked over 900 miles down the coast staying in state campgrounds. I really loved it here. The Fort itself was so interesting. I also really loved the camping. Having the water on all sides was so amazing and peaceful.
We stayed at Site #2 at Savage Island Campground at Fort McAllister State Historic Park in Georgia 07/01/17 - 07/04/17. It was just as beautiful in person, and I'm sure we'll go back. The Rangers and employees at the gift shop/registration were extremely nice and helpful. The bath house was clean AND had real, doors on the showers, WITH LOCKS! Good kayaking on Ogeechee River!
The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that they do not assign spots; you pick from what's available when you arrive. We got lucky - ESPECIALLY on July 1st - and got the LAST spot on the marsh! If we had had to set up camp on one of the inner roads, it would not have been as pleasant as those sites are a LOT closer together. It looks like they had quite a bit of damage from Hurricane Matthew that they're still cleaning up, and it wiped out a LOT of the trees. So, now, the view for a lot of those inner sites is literally other campers. That's fine, but not what I care to view when having my morning coffee.
