Spacious Skies Campgrounds - Savannah Oaks

"We booked here by mistake. 100% my fault. Our friends were coming up from Florida and we got our signals crossed and I chose this campground. Again my mistake 100%. Their no refund policy was clear when booking. I get it. You can’t rent spaces that are blocked off. But the campground is not full. My same type space can be booked online as I type review. To their credit they did offer us a credit for my second night. Meaning they make us stay one night since “we are already here” as they put it and then they would let us postpone our second night to some other time. Here’s my ultimate problem with the entire property: it is way overpriced, like maybe twice what it’s worth. The place is run down and just ragged out. Okay so the new owners are going to reply and say they are renovating blah blah blah. That sounds good but they have owned it for almost a year now. The dog park is a mud pit or a sand pit depending on when it last rained. The spaces are so small when I walked my dog, the leash allowed him to get under the RV beside us before I even got out the door. Yes the trees are great. The laundry facility was plenty sufficient. Internet isn’t too bad and hookups seem fine so far. Sooooo… If we had paid $45, none of this would have been an issue. My problem is the place we really wanted to stay is simply amazing and in the same price range (about $10-15 more). Again my mistake. I get that I can’t get a refund since that’s the policy. And I own my mistake in booking here. I talked to three different people here at the campground and with the corporate office and they were all plenty nice but very clear that they don’t give refunds. They sounded very well scripted and trained on telling people they are keeping your money. Beware of the song and dance about renovating. There is very little “new” anything here. Everything is tired. Everything. The final kicker for us was we figured since we’re stuck here we might as well make the most of it and enjoy tonight by the firepit. In the picture is the selection of firewood and the lady at the front desk said they have been low for several days but the manager hasn’t placed an order yet. That in a nutshell sums up our overall experience here. Everything is about the future. It’s going to be nice one day. They’re going to have firewood one day. The new section is going to blah blah blah one day. We won’t be back simply because if it’s overpriced now, it will be way overpriced in the future when it is what they’re claiming it will be. If we had stopped in for the night to rest before continuing our journey we would be plenty happy with it at $50 but to stay here for multiple days in super tight spaces with a gate code that is useless because the gate is broken and the dogs are dirty and there’s one bundle of firewood for the entire weekend - at the price we paid $185 for two nights), no thanks. Sadly I don’t even want a park credit for a future stay, we wouldn’t be back to use it. Our mistake. I own it. But just want to pass on what we saw in case it helps others. (Not looking for a response from corporate, I already read the other reviews to know what you’re going to say). Edit: I never told them the name of the campground we were hoping to stay in but the bigger point I am making is the campground does not warrant the price. I’d like to see their corporate response to that one from someone who has been here. I’m a photographer if you want me to elaborate with pictures and video I’ll be happy to.I run a Facebook group called RVtography and I also do video reviews of positive experiences on my Facebook page with 60,000 followers. I have never posted a negative review. Never. Until now"

"We have a big Motor home. We pulled into a site that was muddy. No way to keep the coach clean. Walk down to the water which on your brochure. Looks like a very nice clean water it's a Swamp. Not exactly what we were expecting or the way it was portrayed. We left after being there for a couple hours moved down the street. They refused to refund any of our money for 6nights. Not good business for miss representing thr campground"

"We booked a site online for a week stay. It was one of the few that would accommodate our 45' toy hauler. The site was at the far end alongside the roadway. Actually, it was on the other side of the fence from the roadway. All day and throughout the night you hear these trucks just flying down the road. It was awful! The site itself was tight and the only way to get into it was to enter into the site in front, position between two trees and back in. Way to tight! We were able to get into the site but on the day we were leaving, the neighbor parked his truck sideways in the front blocking our ability to turn left. We were basically blocked in as the site we were able to jostle around in originally when we arrived was occupied. We got lucky and caught the neighbor to the front as he was leaving for the day and he kindly moved his truck to another site. This allowed us to pull straight out and to the exit. What a mess! The overall park looks to be getting a major upgrade. It needs it! Fresh asphalt is laid on the entrance. Now all they need to do is rearrange the layout to accommodate more larger rigs, put some gravel down, and maybe build a wall to block some of that road noise! I give it a few stars due to the location to Savannah. It is about a twenty minute drive. Besides that, I can't think or any other reason to stay here? Next time, I am paying the extra money to stay down the road at Creekfire! At least there I am not parked next to a raceway and I can easily get into and out of my site!"

"We are full timers and before we were staying on Rincon and this one has been THE best so far. We understand there’s new owners and that the community will have renovations done. Shower rooms are good, I can easily go with my family and get ready for work and school all together quick. Not like others toilet, shower and sink is on the same room giving me peace as mom that while I shower they can brush their teeth and use the restroom right there by me. It’s a nice quiet place, after work I can’t wait to go home. Ladies at the store are helpful, friendly and they care for the guests. I can’t wait to witness all the renovations. Close by there’s gas stations, stores, fast food and more. One exit south there’s a supermarket (Kroger), Starbucks and more. They are awesome communicating with guests if the gate code will be change, or if the water will be shutdown for repairs, … They also have a propane refill station."

"The campground overall is very tired. I understand that it is under new ownership and there are plans to improve. Currently the facilities are mediocre. It rained while we were there and it was so muddy and parts of the road were under water for much of the day. The sites and road through the campground need improved whether by adding rock or ideally, by paving. The bathrooms were always clean but need an upgrade desperately. It appears that they tried to apply lipstick to a pig per se, as the toilet, sink, and tile looked newer but there were no fans, the doors need replaced and the cheap shower chairs could be replaced with actual benches for better functionality and improved safety. The camp store was bare and lacked basic supplies even though it was spacious enough to offer a nice selection. There was junk all over the grounds including broken air conditioners and old abandoned electrical hookups. The dog park has a large gap in the fence that makes it easy for even a large dog to escape. I definitely cannot recommend this place nor would I stay there again."
