"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."
"Loved the privacy / space between campsites. Loved having a flush toilet but it was soooo far to go to in the middle of the night. Appreciate racoon box there since we had a regular intruder! Wish I could get warm water and keep leaves and dirt from falling from the bath house open ceiling. Enjoyed the beach, armadillos, wild horses and their foals. Appreciative of wagons to transport camp supplies. Wish ice was on site instead of waiting for the ferry which delayed my daily agenda."
"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"
"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"
"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."
