Location, location, location. It's the only option you've got. :) There are RULES, and more rules and more rules posted all over this campground and all them begin with "don't" and "no" type words. Kinda gives you a negative vibe. The sites are literally on top of one another, we actually saw someone's camp chair leg sitting on top of the neighbors sewer tube. They are THAT close. No desire to sit by my campfire because it was right in a corner of my site, facing 3 other sites into their open areas. And don't think about moving that fire ring that is a big "no".
Jekyll Island was neat, we enjoyed riding our bikes all over the island. We have no reason to go back there though, but we're glad we went.
They really should try to make this one and only campground a bit friendlier and more user friendly. People may want to stay longer.
On a happy note, they have a great bird feeder/viewing area, and they are easy access to watch the sunset and ride bikes.

First, site E-10 should not be a campsite. There simply is no room. My camper was almost parked under the awning of the neighboring site. But besides that, in 2 days not a single person said hello, and we witnessed a screaming family argument (on Thanksgiving), my wife witnessed two women in a near fist fight arguing about hot water usage in the bathrooms, and as we were leaving we saw a State Trooper there for some reason. Maybe the campground can't be blamed for its customers, but the general negative vibe of the overwhelming number of warning signs posted everywhere implies they are getting exactly what they deserve. Also, there is no dumpster, instead, there are dozens of normal residential trashcans spread throughout the campground. It gives the place a trashy look. Maybe that is a Jekyll Island issue and not their fault, but again, it also contributes to the general negative vibe of the place.
I'll give it 3 stars because the sites are level, and the bathrooms were clean, if very dated. But if you camp here you'll probably want to stay away from your campsite as much as possible.

We arrived at 5pm and noticed no grill on our barbecue. Staff told us that there was not enough grill for each barbecue and we should look at empty spots to find one. When we found grills, they were sealed, so we kindly asked to change our spot (campground was half empty) and staff simply replied no!
We spent only one night at the campground in low season but definitely we would not come back in peak season as spots are super close one to another.
And wood always $12, the most expensive we got on all our trip!

Camp host greeted us and escorted to site in the back of the park for our Class A full hookup. Gorgeous site backing up to the bird sanctuary trail. Hookups are easy to use and conveniently placed. Cable did not work. And no wifi in the back of the park makes it difficult. We had decent signal with Verizon but virtually none on our t-mobile. I wouldn’t expect starlink to work as your nestled in amongst the live oaks and Spanish moss. Golf carts are a fun way to get around. The trails work for kids to ride bikes and there are a lot of e-bikes everywhere. We found the campsite pleasant with plenty of room. Close to Driftwood Beach, the fishing pier, short trek to the sea turtle center or Mosaic.
They’re currently under construction for a new expansion project. My kids loved playing in the construction sand!!

Stayed here for three nights on our way home. Very helpful and friendly staff (when they're around), nice level site (covered with leaves), very shady and well-protected from high winds (which kicked up during our visit; could hardly tell in the campground). Multiple bath houses, the newest one with four (or so) private shower bathrooms (the one closest to our site had three women's toilets out of order). Large laundry facility, takes coins and credit cards. Adequate water pressure and clean 30A power at site. Bugs were horrible, though (this is true on all the nearby islands).

The CG was not very full while we were there but I imagine it would feel quite tight when full. The bathhouse is satisfactory. There is a laundry which is great to have. All sites have a sewer connection. There is no dump station. The staff was very busy in the office. The island looks so natural; it is such a pleasure to see the land in this condition. There are bike trails all over the island. There is not much of a swimming beach. There are several beaches but most do not have parking. This was our 2nd visit. Surprisingly we had good cell service but used our hotspot so don't know about CG wifi.
