What could make anyone happier than being immersed in natural beauty, surrounded by serenity and privacy, with the warmth of summer and the smell of campfire in the air? I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the perfect weekend to us. Oh, did we happen to mention that this campground is located right on the water’s edge, as well?

Sea Camp on Cumberland Island National Seashore is one of the most popular places to camp in Georgia.

Camping on one of Georgia’s most beautiful islands is a true gift unto itself, but once you see the natural beauty you’ll be surrounded by, you’ll be in paradise.

The reason why Sea Camp is one of the happiest campgrounds in the state is largely due to the free-roaming horses nearby, the waterside accommodations, and the true peace and quiet.

At just around $22 per campsite per night (depending on the season), you can spend the whole weekend wandering along the beach, waking up to the sunrise, and enjoying the wonderment of the trees throughout the area.

Personally, the seclusion of this island camping is one of the true highlights, as guests to Cumberland Island will either need a boat, ferry, or kayak to get to the island.

Sea Camp is the most developed campground on the island and is located just a half mile from Sea Camp Dock.

And if you just so happen to wake up to a free-roaming horse grazing near your campsite in the early mornings, just tip your hat and be on your way.
